The borrower Arrietty's movie notes

This is a cartoon with a very strong social and sexual atmosphere. It is not simple at all.

Although the "little man" and the female father "borrowed" some natural grass and leaves at the beginning, the story tells you this very middle-class exquisite atmosphere. In this old-fashioned patriarchal family, the father’s job is “borrowing”, but in fact, it is equipped with a set of handy equipment to steal the daily necessities of the “adult” to maintain the household. He needs to be skilled. To complete the work of "borrowing", you need to have the skills to maintain the stolen equipment. A courageous, knowledgeable, technical and reticent father to handle housework. A mother who is worried about the health of his family and desires material things. A beautiful and light-hearted daughter who is willing to understand the world. The typical

"little man" father and daughter were stolen by the "adult" boy or teenager. The "little man" girl blushed and had heart palpitations. It was interesting. Was it scary or emotional but also hurriedly lost the sugar cube "adult" man "borrowed" before. The teenager calmly told the "little man" that I was afraid that he had heard of it and met before and even later sent the candy cube to the door of the "little man" daughter. Obviously, the "adult" boys and teenagers are interested in socializing and can easily be satisfied. The material needs of the "little man" and even the story tells that the grandfathers of the "adult" have already ordered the house of the "little man" in the UK. This social element has thought that from the simple social material logic, it is difficult to get a wife and enter the door. But at this time, the family of "little people" faces great challenges. Once the daughter is taken away by the "adults", it will inevitably form a fostering or even raising relationship. The father's labor will be redundant. The father's family function will become redundant and the dignity of patriarchy will disappear. At this time, my father’s advice was not to meet "adults" and to move after being discovered. The father must continue to dominate the family.

This disparity in material and physical power poses a threat to "little people". "Human" is not a tender, sick and weak boy, but a rough woman, or even the crow shown in the movie, which is a great life threat. If the "little" daughter refuses the "adult", the teenager may face extinction. People's negative emotions can be mobilized. The power of the "little man" father is actually very practical, although he may not consider the factors of love and marriage, but it is the social relationship hidden behind the animated characters

At this time, there also appeared a middle-class family temperament of a jungle-savvy "little" boy and his daughter. Wearing a quilt to make bows and arrows eat cricket legs is even more exaggerated than a countryman. It seems that the savages will not become the rivals of the "adults" teenagers, but The influence of his father’s patriarchy has

not yet been known, but he has not had time to start a rivalry contest with very different strengths and styles. The "adult" boy has taken his own wits and demolished the "little" middle-class real estate. The exquisite and luxurious real estate was forcibly placed in this family. The violent and naked mother’s eyes lit up and fainted. Patriarchy had no way to escape before the power.

Even so, the "little man" daughter still met with the "adult" boy and said goodbye. "The important thing behind the empty discussions of "little people" and different destinies is not to talk about what is important, but finally to talk in order to weaken the power of the teenager. He is set to have a heart disease

and a relationship cannot be established. The plot enters the most clichéd and bizarre part of the play Chunsang, the only bad guy in the movie, took the shot. Although this elderly babysitter serves the innocent master who is enthusiastically looking forward to the "little man", he is unkind for no reason. Personality is the core basis of the plot. The character is like a naughty child. This too typical character setting has reached the point of deliberateness.

Because of the appearance of the bad guys, the mother was arrested and the father was arranged to leave the stage first. The daughter of "people" showed great skill. This is related to Hayao Miyazaki’s intentional or unintentional sexual inverted projection in the character setting (Zhang Xianmin once discussed).

Here the plot will definitely go to a bright ending where the nasty and abrupt bad guys are defeated. The core can only imply eroticism and unsustainable "big and small" love. The results are not many. The result is not so much. The man died of a heart attack or the woman listened to the patriarchy to move and continue to live in seclusion.

The token still exchanged tears or left the meaning of social reality. The full love story ended purely in the atmosphere of pre-adolescence
