So full grown at 10?


An adult wolf? Maybe, and adult werewolf? Nope just a stupid werekid.

Hey where is your son? Oh he is off playing again? That's odd, it is almost like you are making it up and he has run away.

That part bugged me, they never really explored himleaving a bit later, perhaps do conservation and then be an even better guardian, heck his dad got his smarts on.

As for the good bye? He runs up a massive cliff and she still can see him somehow to watch him "Fox and the Hound" it?

Oh and wtf? she forgets her daughter to run after her moody son to get lost and then almost die, only then to get picked up by her son and left injured 20 or 30 feet from her car in the cold rain? Guardian my ass. You could have helped out the ring fox with his hurt leg too, that kid was as worthless as the wolfs on True Blood.

I enjoyed the film, but it was no masterpiece, It was like a nice table with woodworm, so as long as you did not look too deep it was good.

He's not a werewolf. He's an animagus.

First of all... no, just no. Secondly that pretty much makes no difference to the point. Even if you claim the HarryPotter bs, they were still going to school like every other human. My point is he was a stupid 10 year old, and it is a known fact your brain has not fully formed by that time. If you go with a Japanese shapeshifter like the fox or raccoon, they too could benefit from the knowledge of humans and often assumed human form to learn. Being smart is not the same think as knowing something...that is the point of school, books, etc. Would you want your forest protector to be the dumbest person in the entire area? Had he had an eduction perhaps he would have known not to leave an injured hypothermic person in the rain, on the cold wet ground, 20 feet from a car that they may be able to use if they did ever wake up. That being said perhaps it was not cold, now that I think back they may have just jumped past winter and it could have been warm again.

 I'll agree with that.

As a child. As a wolf, he was honing his adult skills.

then why bother ranting about it?

Oh sorry, no one ever told me I was only supposed to review an discuss movies that are great. Man not sure what I was thinking, other that I just watched this movie and had issues with it. And I am so stupid, please forgive me for dicussing the issues I had with this movie, oh it must be so embarrassing to be the first guy to ever post on any message board about a movie that they watched that they had issues with! Oh no, I hope others don't see that I posted about issues I had with the movie! Oh crap I could lose my job! They may never let me watch movies again! Or the makers of this movie may be so hurt by my negative rants they may decide to never make another teen movie about a girl that has sex with a dog, and the repercussions that could have on the whole beastiality and zoophilia industry! Please forgive me! I am not sure why I ever though to ruin a "discussion" board by discussing a movie! I hope I did not cause anyone irreparable damage by asking logical questions about a movie that I was told was good. Here I will post a new post that will make up for it...

reply

Here is your new post...

God, this was an amazing movie, the zoophilia, the supersmart wolf kid! He is like a super-genious, you know wolves are super smart and they get that way by age 10, that is why wolves have never been endangered species and they have their own country with a full democracy and cold fusion. Man I could find no problems with this movie, I loved it, wolves are sexy.

Public tantrums are always sad to see.

you could've just said "i like this movie but there's something bugging me on this part blabla"
instead of "wtf? this is nonsense! illogical! not bad for a kids movie though"

your post sounds like you were expecting a christopher nolan movie. chill out.

Really? If you saw my post about the stupid morse code Interstellar b.s. you know I would never expect that from a movie I somewhat enjoyed. Interstellar was just poorly done, massive sand storms , yet no real sand damage to areas, only corn growing, yet area looked green as hell, could not tell there were giant waves, yet you can scan the f*ing ocean, you would see the images of the waves, leave a guy orbiting far away from the planet so they had to spend sooo much fuel waiting, exiting spaceship while entering event horizon...well you would be dead no matter what, but still stupid...that is a horrible movie. From the sounds of it the original script was much better, sure did not have the horrible book morse code b.s..

Also no tantrum, just thought the wolf scene was f'ed up.

i had concerns that emotionally, ame was not an adult. the way that he chose to leave and go to the mountains with an barely audible "i have to go" reinforced that. perhaps if he had given his mum a rational and allowed her some time to come to terms with it, she would not have put herself in danger and gone looking for him. he did not even wait to see if his sister was ok after the storm.

i was also taken aback that he just dumped his own mother in the street. it was odd, as though he was overcompensating for being half human by rejecting his humanity completely.

it also crossed my mind that as he was able to communicate with the fox, he should have made some effort to get the fox's leg repaired. he could have got help.


reply

Well, there is a difference between being an adult and being mature.

Can't stop the signal.

reply

Explain the difference.

reply

Adult: a person who is fully grown or developed.

Mature: (of thought or planning) careful and thorough.

Can't stop the signal.

reply

You're definitely not the latter.

reply

Could be worse. I could be stalking someone's posts all over IMDB.

Can't stop the signal.

reply

Says the person who did that to me first?

reply

Nope.

So my feeling is that we all have the initial shock and horror of a 10 year old going to live in the woods. He was too young and to rash to go. However, we are applying our logic to a creature different than us. There is a pull for daughter to be human while the son had a pull to be a wolf.

The mother had no idea how to raise both these kids. She was just try to do her best in the situation they were in. Letting her son follow his path was what she felt was best for him. He may had the same urges that his father had. The father died of unknown reasons but strongly implied that his wolf side got the better of him.

The reason why the mother left to pursue him in the storm was for the same reason why any of us would have. She cared for his safety and wasn't ready to let him go. I think for the son, it was a calling to live as a wolf. He was an adult in wolf years. If we view him as a wolf instead of a human, he naturally at the stage in his life where he needed to live it the best way he knew how. The mother understood that at the end.

Yeah, the second I heard the other wolf had a bad leg/foot I was like 'go get it and help it.'

reply

I wonder if people bring this up in read through and they are just so stuck to a story they decide to not fix it, or if they really never see it as an issue. I could have enjoyed this film much more, but it had such glaring issues at times it really hurt it. But on the flip side it may have just been a horrible story, and they lucked out on enough good things that it seemed like a good one with some bad parts?

reply

It wasn't an issue.

Let's be bad guys.

Lol, that's exactly what I was thinking! Then again, anime adults don't exactly have a great track record with keeping track of their kids. So, it's all good for Hana?...

Oh and wtf? she forgets her daughter to run after her moody son to get lost and then almost die, only then to get picked up by her son and left injured 20 or 30 feet from her car in the cold rain? Guardian my ass. You could have helped out the ring fox with his hurt leg too, that kid was as worthless as the wolfs on True Blood.


Yeah, the least Hana should've done was tell Shino's dad to pick up her daughter since something happened to her. Yuki, being the most mature out of the three, decided to wait like a dutiful child for a mother that wasn't going to show up! Poor thing.

And yes, I do agree about Ame and the True Blood wolves. Hopefully, Smokey the Bear will go back to being the forest guardian after the emo wolf kid screws up. xD

That could be the extended version, shows several yrs in to the future with a short montage of him failing to save the forest and animals multiple times because he failed to actually get his education. i.e. not being able to fix injured animals with out killing them, not being able to read traffic signs, poison warning, polluted water signs, land use notices for areas of the woods being destroyed (basically PomPoko, but this the raccoons only getting worse and worse utter fails )... then the final scene would be the forest animals chasing him out to an animal control van waiting to catch him...then again his dad did chase a goose in to the street, so perhaps they are not the brightest breed of animal in the first place.
