One flower, one world of the dwarf

Gong Lao's films will inevitably attract a lot of attention. Many strong people have already written strong comments. I will only write about the care and details of the stitches.
In fact, the feature of this film is "fineness", every point and every point is fully thought out, and from the overall point of view, it really cannot be compared with the previous Ghibli classics. I repeat the

music.
The music is quite brilliant this time, and it has been so brilliant that it surpasses the work itself. The soundtrack was amazing at the beginning, and the scene of the movie is of course the typical warm and bright style of the old palace (do you think that the car is driving in? The scene in the yard is very similar to a scene in Totoro?) It is a little bit distracted. This is the rare few times that I actually start to read the lyrics at the beginning. The original sound of the movie should be more of a contrast to the original, rather than overwhelming.
In addition, the sound effects of the film are also very good. When Arrietty is standing on Xiang, Xiang's footsteps will become heavy and lengthy according to Arrietty, the god of details...

the cute point of the movie
The "small objects" in the movies are already the biggest cute point! ! ! ! Little DOLL HOUSE, little people, everything in the microscopic world has become bigger, don’t you feel that when you look at the small and exquisite world, you will feel like a cat's paw gently scratching your heart? ? ? ? So Xiang said to Arrietty later that when he wanted to protect her, it was so natural! But the writer's ambition of the old palace scriptwriter was very clear and did not allow Arrietty to become just a cute little beauty, who is a descendant of a family of borrowers who have self-esteem and pursuit. In the documentary, Gong Lao thought that Arrietty stepped on Xiang's hand to find her mother, and it seemed that Arrietty had become a human plaything. He argued with Milin for a long time, and finally this "walked to Xiang's hand" The details of is still preserved, and finally, the movements and expressions of the 5 seconds before Arrietty stepped on Xiang's hand, she used more than 30 shots to show that she had made a lot of determination. I think there is nothing wrong with this place, at least it can reflect that Arrietty really started to trust Xiang. But Gong Lao's attitude is also very good. Even if he is just a small person, he is still an indecent subject with an independent personality. The documentary said that the staff designed a lot of ordinary small objects in human life how they would be used in Arrietty’s life, but most of them were not used in the movie. Among them, there was an "Arrietty cotton swab." It’s a shame that the various usages of "have not been used."

Now I’m going to start to count the shots that turned me on the ground. The first thing that bears the brunt is definitely the first time Arrietty and Xiang met. There is no warning at all (even after I watched the documentary, I still have no psychology. Prepare), suddenly, the heart began to beat wildly, Xiang's warm eyes, gentle voice, and close-up of Xiang Guangrun's lips, how could the heart of the Arrietty girl, who has never seen a man of the same age, hide her heart pass. At that time, the reaction of the little girl hiding behind the paper towel was that on the one hand, the restraint of the family training prevented her from showing up in front of human beings, and on the other hand, it was because of the girl's shyness when she was emotionally shocked. Some people are arguing about whether Arrietty and Sho have a nascent relationship. I think whether it is the background sound of the lens, the close-up of the lens, or the subtle changes in Arrietty's expression 30 pages have been used) are already obvious hints that affection is growing.
Then there is the little native monarch. This child is a joyous and lovable character. As soon as this child appeared on the stage, I didn't know what he was like, and I thought he would soon be captured by Alietti. When Arrietty’s a little nervous mother was asking questions about all kinds of bluffs, the little native monk just made a few “um” surely and slightly dull, which really made people born. “This child will definitely grow into a good man in the future.” Such a motherly sentiment (boys please ignore me) and then when I rubbed the floor in the western-style home of Arrietty, when he proposed a section of cricket thigh and said it was delicious, the sincerity and naturalness of this child made me moved to tears. The eyes are full... and the raspberry given to Arrietty on the kettle at the end of the film (I was lucky to have eaten wild raspberries which are really delicious). I don’t think his carefulness is not as gentle and clear as Xiang, but Is it faintly stubborn?
Speaking of cricket legs, the various bugs in the movie played a very wonderful role. For example, when Arrietty and her dad first went on an expedition, they encountered cockroaches. Arrietty seemed to use the stick of an insect repellent to drive them away. With it, Arrietty was sitting on a rock in the grass, and a watermelon worm crawled over, and Arrietty hugged it. The watermelon worm shrank into a ball, so Alietti this (a little bit) The girl who is not afraid of bugs started tossing people like a ball in her hands! (She covers her face, people often played with watermelon bugs when they were young) And after Xiang put the sugar cube on the steps, Arrietty didn't take it, so many ants came and moved away, and Arrietty waved away the ants. The scenes are also quite interesting. In the
film, the part where Chun Auntie, a villainous character, fights Xiang Zhi is also very interesting. Xiang can even think of bringing back the DOLL HOUSE kitchen that has been placed in Arrietty’s house. Without being caught by Aunt Chun, there is no doubt that the child's black abdomen index is not low.
Finally, I want to write some thoughts on the role of Xiang. Although Xiang is a gentle boy with a wealthy family and a heart attack with a gloomy temperament, there are actually many conflicts in his heart, which is not as peaceful as it seems. After learning that the DOLL HOUSE was a custom-made gift that my grandfather wanted to give to the little people, I eagerly wanted to be nice to Arrietty, regardless of recklessness, he demolished one wall of Arrietty’s house and then recklessly removed it. My gift (the delicate kitchen) was given out (when did he find out that Arrietty’s house is under that grocery cabinet!), when Arrietty finally agreed to meet him on the grass, he did so Saying "you are the race to be destroyed" without disguising, there are many forces that cannot erupt in your heart.


At the end, there is one more detail that I care about. Later, Xiang wrote a letter and sent it with a small flower. The content of the letter is not shown in the film. Guess it is written at the bottom. What? ? ?
