      Whisper Of The Heart--Love Runs A Person's Start And End

      It is said that Hayao Miyazaki is the first director to raise the humanistic heights of animation. Thinking back to Hayao Miyazaki’s anime films I’ve seen, although I’m not sure what it means to "rise to a humanistic level", the director’s dislike of war and cherishing of love and growth throughout the film are indeed worth experiencing.

      "I" is what matters

      His wife and children were fast asleep, alone on the crooked bed, wearing headphones, watching the story slowly show. My heart is calm and solid, I like this feeling.

      Although the protagonists in the story are taught to study hard and get into a good university is the most important thing, but one is obsessed with making violins, and the other is fond of writing poems and stories. I think it is precisely because both of them have the persistence to persist for what they...

      Tsukishima Wen: Even if I encounter a B-drama

      The moment Awen cried, my "Awen" was crying too. Word by word, her words hit my heart.
      Thank you for saying something I didn't know myself. I understand why I have been living in fear of insecurity. His departure has completely confirmed my turmoil and doubts - "I'm not good enough, so I was abandoned".
      Every time I hear Awen called in the film, it seems to be calling me myself. The last bicycle was also part of the best and most beautiful memories, and I couldn't help but cry. I have...

      Listen carefully, do you hear?

      Ah, this is the most romantic work of Hayao Miyazaki (deleted, it should be Ghibli) I have seen so far.

      I don't know how to describe it, but I was very moved.
      For this music: the familiarity of the opening song, the wit of the cement road, the comfort of the ending song;
      for Tsukishima Xia: a very energetic girl, independent and insisting on her own ideas, and so innocent and straightforward;
      for Tianze Seiji: A very good boy who pursues dreams, is careful and gentle,...

      a story about growing up

      Originally, the title of this article was originally a story about dreams, but if I think more deeply about the word growth, it should be more suitable for

      the works of Shizuku and Seiji in the play, Uncle Miyazaki. In addition to buying CDs, the rest is probably to buy Uncle Miyazaki's works. My cousin and I are both fans of Miyazaki. This film is the first time I come into contact with Uncle Miyazaki's world. The English version of the country road sounded

      as if it was a...

      Woohoo, in terms of ideological awareness, I'm not as good as Yuedaowen in the third year of junior high, and no one likes to read! ! "Thank you Xizi, I can be full of energy again!" "I only realized that after I wrote it, it is not as simple as I want to write. There are many, many things to learn if I want to write well..." "Your story is like Seiji It's like making a violin" "Awen, will you marry me in the future?" "Well! I think this is very good!" I always like fairy...

      From the story to the picture is beautiful. Before the end, it reminds me of that innocent middle school period, frank and rough, like an unpolished...

      If I had a relationship with a library card, made a violin, and wrote a novel, I might have been particularly touched by these beautiful campus plots more than ten years ago. Now that I am slowly getting older, although I still feel good, there will be a sense of estrangement. . The film was made very life-like, and the Mandarin dubbed version was watched, so I even saw a little taste of Ang Lee and Yang Dechang. If you can really meet a Tsukishima Wen who belongs to her, it will be a very...

      The beautiful thing is that the OST of the shattered dream is also worth collecting. Now it seems that I am spoiled by the picture, and the ceramic cat has appeared - the cat's grace is also taken care...

      Revisit. In addition, I just read "Xiao え た First Love". Recently, I have been a bit of a puppy love overdose. It's like losing two bags of glucose to a tired heart. I can't wait to jump up from the sofa and rush out to fall in love, because these stories make me feel that falling in love makes me feel bad. People work hard, work hard to be a good person, and work hard to find themselves! Completely forgot that Seiji's dream was to be a luthier, this time I noticed that he played a Bach line...

    Evaluation action

    Although Miyazaki Hayao did not act as a supervisor in the production of the film "Whisper of the Heart", his work as a screenwriter and producer has reflected his philosophy to a certain extent. All of Miyazaki Hayao's works are constantly discussing the power of the soul and the power of personality. In " Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind ", Nausica is undoubtedly the sustenance of the people in the valley and the leader they can...
