One summer day, Mary and the witch flower, the red-haired girl Mary (voiced by Shan _ Hua) were sent to the country house where Aunt Charlotte was on vacation. When I first arrived in Mary and the Witch's Flower, Mary didn't adapt to everything around her, especially the naughty boy Peter (voiced by Shenmu Ryunosuke) deliberately opposed her, which made Mary really unhappy. In an accidental forest adventure, Mary saw Mary and the witch's flowers flying at night and found them with a broken broom. It happened that this magical broom took Mary to heaven and came to Ende College, which specializes in training magicians. In this magical place, Mary was warmly received by Ms. Mamburcek (voiced by Yuuki Amami) and met the grotesque Dr. D (voiced by Fumiyo Kohinata). Although the girl became a student of magic, she soon discovered the secret hidden here.
This film is based on the English children's literature novel adapted by Mary Stewart, and it is the first animated feature film produced and filmed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi after he left Studio Ghibli.
What does the movie Mary and the Witch Flower tell us?
Just like Ghibli's dreamy and beautiful painting style, the western magical fairy tales shown in Mary and the Flower of the Witch failed to make people truly belong to their own souls. In the scene of the film, the characters are particularly pale, and the long and empty plot makes this self-beautiful animation like chicken ribs, which is a pity to eat tasteless.
As the director of Miyazaki Hayao's two Ghibli animated novels, Hiromasa Yonebayashi is particularly apt to be accompanied by Miyazaki Hayao, the screenwriter in Aglietti, the villain who borrows things, or the bold subversion of traditional innovation in Marni in Memory. As the first animated novel after he left Ghibli, Mary and the Flower of the Witch completely inherited Ghibli's film aesthetics in style and made it impeccably.
However, such a well-made animation seems to be superficial in the end. It is hard to believe that Hiromasa Yonebayashi chose such a bad story and didn't make a deliberate change. The film hopes that Mary's growth line will depend on her unexpected magical ability, while darkness is the support of dystopia. However, the film portrays Mary as the heroine casually. There is hardly any pleasing existence in this hero, and the dystopian logic setting in the film is far-fetched. The villain wants everyone to have magic, but as the heroine, he opposes the existence of magic. There is no reasonable "justice" fulcrum for the two opposing settings.
In the absence of character support and reasonable drama conflict, even if it is presented aesthetically, there is no way to hide its paleness. The core defect of Mary and the Flower of the Witch has also emerged-there is no real memorable character in the film, which is unimaginable in Miyazaki Hayao's films, and it is more like an imitation of the witch's helper in form, whether it is the protagonist's broom or cat.
Ghibli needs to be passed down, but this kind of inheritance should not be so cautious and follow the rules. It's hard to see the surprise. The mediocre flower of Mary and the Witch is just a gorgeous flower for the rag.

Mary and the Flower of the Witch is the first full-length animated film produced by Ponoc Studio and directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi. The film is adapted from the children's novel Little Broom published by British writer Mary Stewart in 197 1. This paper mainly tells the magical adventure story of an ordinary girl, Mary, who is 1 1 years old, going to the witch country.
How to evaluate the film Mary and the Flower of the Witch directed by Miyazaki Hayao Although the film is adapted from the children's novel Mary and the Flower of the Witch by British writer Mary Stuart, it is not difficult to identify the shadow of Mary and the Flower of the Witch from the film, because it can be a veteran fan of dozens of Studio Ghibli's works. Like the above works,
The narrative strategy and painting style of Mary and the Flower of the Witch are obviously different from those of Hollywood animated films, which obviously lacks the secular life scene in Mary and the Flower of the Witch, that is, the village where Mary lives in the summer vacation, which is a typical English rural architectural style and Shan Ye scenery; Mary's red hair is obviously not the physical appearance of East Asians, but it reminds people of Pippi Longstocking in Swedish children's literature.
The little girl Mary went to her aunt's house in the country for the summer vacation. She was led into the forest by a little black cat, picked up purple flowers by mistake, entered the secret school, and then got involved in the secrets of the secret school. The relationship between characters and scenes involved in this plot is common in similar children's magic literature works. In an absolute sense, unless it is an intact remake, the narrative of Mary and the Flower of the Witch still has its own uniqueness and can attract the audience, but it does not have that unique and exciting "magic".
Ghibli's Fairy Tale: Mary and the Flower of the Witch When I saw the picture of Mary and the Flower of the Witch, I felt a familiar feeling. I subconsciously pulled it to the director column, but I didn't see the familiar name Miyazaki Hayao. Although this animated film still has a lot to be honed, it still inherits Miyazaki Hayao's Ghibli style from Mary and the Witch's Flower, and many places can see the shadow of Miyazaki Hayao's animation, which can be said to be a fairy tale with a little Ghibli style.
This story, the plot is still a bit dull, can not get rid of the routine. In an accident, Mary came into contact with the magical witch Night Flying Flower, untied the seal of the magical broom, and was taken to Endor University, a magical university. This kind of story is inevitably a bit trite, as if many animations have used this development. However, in the course of the story, Mary did not have the talent to wake up the witch. Although she has red hair representing a talented witch, until the end, Mary didn't master her own magic, but kept growing, getting to know others and herself, and making a sound of "I don't need magic". This is how Mary grew up. From a manic little girl in Mao Mao, she gradually became mature and steady.
Mary, as the protagonist in the animation, should be said to be very successful. From the beginning, this animation has successfully created such a manic little girl in Mao Mao with messy red hair. She covered her eyes with a bow and moved her things. She inadvertently spilled the contents of the box all over the floor and kindly helped her aunt with the cup. As a result, she accidentally slipped the cup from her hand and kindly helped the gardener tie flowers, but she pushed too hard. This is Mary, a girl who is a little bold but still wants to change herself. Peter laughed at her when she met him. Mary looked at Peter, too. He was so sensible that he could help the family. She shouted out her thoughts: "I want to change too!" " Mary has such a belief that she can continue to be strong in future adventures. But Mary's character is the driving force of the whole story. She rashly picked the flowers of the night flight, which made the night flight wither and the magic leaked out. That's why Kibo, the kitten, went to Endor University in that dense fog and became an experiment of transformation magic. It was also Mary's reckless personality that got her a magic book called "The Essence of Magic", and in a hurry, she confessed that Peter was a scapegoat, which put Peter in crisis and betrayed a good teammate.
As the protagonist, Mary is portrayed in this way, which can be said to be a very good image. She is not so perfect, with a little regret, and keeps growing in the adventure. It's like she was taken to her aunt's house by a broom, contacted her aunt through the mirror and listened to her tell past stories. When my aunt handed her the last flower that flew at night and asked her to fly back with the remaining magic, Mary didn't agree. She still remembers that Peter is still there. After falling into the forest, she looked at the broom and saw that the flower mark in her hand disappeared because she lost her magic. She was in trouble, but she still didn't give up. Frustrated, she once again set foot on the road to Endor University and stopped the professor's experiment with her strange body. This kind of Mary is very different from the beginning of the movie. She grew up in this constant adventure and became a strong child. She's not as frivolous as when she first entered the University of Ontario. I still remember that when Mary first entered Endor University, she felt very high in the face of her wife's praise. "It's just that I used 40% of my strength." Mary crossed herself like this. In the end, Mary is completely different from when she first entered the university. After all, she is completely different.
Although there is a momentum of inheriting Miyazaki Hayao, many places in Mary and the Flower of the Witch are still too far away from Miyazaki Hayao, and the plot connotation can be deepened. In this film, apart from Mary's growth, the only thing that can make us feel gratified is the magic experiment made by his wife and doctor. This experiment hopes to create a legendary magician who can use all kinds of magic with the help of the power of nocturnal, just like the aunt who used to be Mary and once a witch said, "There are still many powers in this world that we can't master." In this way, the desire to master the powerful magic in the world can not be realized after all, and only a terrible monster can be created, devouring all the magic greedily. Despite this plot, it is still too shallow to reflect on. Perhaps this is the pinnacle of the difference between Mary and the Flower of the Witch and Miyazaki Hayao. In addition, there are still some things in animation that are not developed enough. For example, Peter longed for change, but he didn't describe in detail what kind of change Peter wanted. He simply used a few words: "You are not the only one who wants to change." "If I can grow up, my mother will be relieved." In this way, Peter's story is not told, but it adds a little abrupt color to the animation, making Peter's image less complete in the whole process.
In a word, the animated film Mary and the Flower of the Witch inherits some Ghibli styles of Miyazaki Hayao in style and plot, but it is still far from the height of Miyazaki Hayao. Although it has a fair story, it still needs to be considered in details, and it always lacks depth. Such animated films have been shown in China for some time, and the future road remains to be explored in such fairy tales.
How to evaluate the cartoon Mary and the Flower of the Witch? As for criticism, most people think that Hiromasa Yonebayashi is finally independent from Ghibli, but he doesn't have his own style, and the visual sense of Ghibli's previous works can be seen everywhere. It is difficult to expand your imagination and understanding without showing the feelings and background of the characters. There is also the story is too simple, foreshadowing can be understood a long time ago, which is a bit disappointing. The voice actor uses a first-line actor who can hear who is who, and has no sense of substitution. If you expect to see it, you will be disappointed, but it is very good to see it as a new work.
