      What a familiar melody, lingering in my childhood ears, I never need to think about it, and I will never forget it.

      Some melodies do not need the embellishment of lyrics. They are soft and poignant, calm and melodious, as if pulling back to childhood. Whenever I recall this melody, it seems that I can't remember the bits and pieces at that time, and when this melody sounded, I found out, oh! It has never been forgotten.

      I remember watching "City in the Sky" when I was very young, and I have almost forgotten the storyline, but I still have some memories of its soundtrack. For many years after that,...

      Lonely Steampunk Dream

      After reading the long-term dream, it is long and lacking. I just remember wandering aimlessly in the empty city ruins in the sky. Tall plants and abandoned steampunk buildings are mixed with the unique echoes of the empty land, full of rhythm. The sound of clack clack constitutes the bizarre absurdity of the whole dream. This is the impression this work gives me. Everyone has a lonely city in the sky. They can't find it and refuse others to invade. It's my treasure pavilion and mine....

      that simple persistence

      The sky in Chengdu is always so dim and gloomy that there is no shadow of the sun. With a sad mood, I started "City in the Sky". The beginning of the picture is in the air, the silent, stubborn Hida, and those pirates, who didn't understand at first, thinking that those pirates were the bad guys in the film, until, When my mother took Balu to rescue Hida, she instantly fell in love with the mother who had two pink pigtails flying, wearing huge flared trousers, and always gulps down meat. Love...

      Courage and love can keep the world going

      "The world cannot live without love"
      So we have the courage to live on, even if we disappear into this world together, we won't feel scared. When

      I saw all the machines destroyed, I thought of Eminem's "
      Why would I wanna destroy something " I help build
      It wasn't my intentions, my intentions was good
      I went through my whole career without ever mentioning

      When the day man ceased to exist, only nature would last forever, so in the end only that tree was...

      this city

      It also refers to the pursuit of pure human dreams: distant, beautiful, mysterious,

      and unbelievable. The kind soul,

      however, welcomes it to complete it.

       

      It is clothed with the obscurity of gold and silver treasures

      to identify the real owner and drive away the wealthy courtiers;

      it also carries the power of destruction,

      preferring to be exhausted in order to preserve the soul,

      waiting for the arrival of the former...

      To be honest, the plot of this movie is too rubbish, there are loopholes everywhere, all flaws. But Joe Hisaishi's soundtrack and the beautiful scenery of the Castle in the Last Sky were speechless. . ....

    Creation Background

    Hayao Miyazaki said, "I want to make an adventure story in which a young hero keeps fighting for his dreams. At the time I was convinced that this theme was not attractive to the audience. Although after a while, many people said, "I like " "Castle in the Sky", but when it was released in theaters, there were very few viewers. When a man gets a job or a certain position, he is regarded as an adult. For women, body image can make her...

    Evaluation action

    The play "City in the Sky" is full of many new elements. The film almost perfectly depicts the landscape of the world in which the story occurred. It is a bit sci-fi and mythical, and it also has a taste of the European Industrial Revolution, such as elevated railroad tracks. The old trains, black mines, airships, clay-like robots and so on. The intense plot runs through the entire movie, but the blue sky and thick white clouds dilute...
