You are another meaning of life

When I was a child, until I graduated from elementary school, I liked things that were very girls.
I like to use building blocks to build houses, holding small dolls, or small animals on a plastic pencil sharpener. Move them by hand and arrange the plot for them.
This is the most commonly played play house. At that time, we thought we could arrange their lives.
Unfortunately, there are some people who may be smaller than us and more vulnerable than us.
But their lives are the same as ours and cannot be arranged.
The beautiful doll house in the film was not sent out in the end.
I have always had the illusion that the so-called move of the Arrietty's family is just to leave that house and go
to another house nearby. Arrietty will come back and tell Xiang that Xiang will secretly send the doll's house there.
Yeah, in all the fairy tales we read before.
It's always like this. Whatever we like will be fulfilled. Will live happily together.

However, in Miyazaki Jun's plot, all fairy tales will carry the inevitable cruelty and conflict of reality.

The people who borrowed things are so afraid of human beings.
It can be imagined from the performance of Arrietty's mother. Humans are such terrible flood beasts. Even the brave father told his daughter if he was found. We are about to flee quickly.

Although Alietti said, not all humans are so dangerous.
Although in the end Arrietty accepted Xiang's help. Although she trusted Xiang.

However, they still have no way to survive in places known to mankind.


Because most of us. Will hold what we want tightly and lock it up. Possess them. Show off them triumphantly. Just like the housekeeper Chun Auntie.
Although every shot she was given was a bit cunning and vicious.
However, I believe she is not malicious.
She just wanted the old master to take a look at the villain and prove their existence. And also want to possess them.
Or some people will be like the Sho who rashly put the doll's house kitchen in to the Arrietty's family.
I thought that I could get close to what I wanted.

But this is not the case. If love is all possessive, it will only make people want to escape.
Love Ruuo is only unilateral and rude giving, which will only destroy the other person's life.

Later, Xiang finally understood this truth.
Sadly, someone who lives a lifetime may not understand it yet.

I watched the whole film with a touch of regret.
Although near the end, the sun shone on Xiang and the cat.
The 14-year-old kind-hearted little prince smiled. Holding the hairpin in his hand.
However, Arrietty left him anyway.
The little, golden-haired Thumbelina in a red dress still left him.
Sit in the kettle, go to a new place, and start a new life.

Before that, they said goodbye, and the little girl held his finger, tears falling on it.
She said, you protected me.

He replied to her that you are already a part of my heart. Because of you, I have the courage to live.

Thumbelina likes this boy who is as clean as grass and pure as raindrops.
Although it was discovered by him at first, it was so dangerous.
But he would hold her in his hand when she was attacked by a bird. She will stop the kitten and say, be good friends.
Will write to her and attach a small flower.
When I finally saw her, the first sentence was: You are so beautiful.
And until the end, I didn't forget to bring her a sugar cube.
But Allietty knew that each other was from two worlds.
She will finally be with the new villain Spiller.
Although he didn't wear a white shirt, he still painted his face painted. She even took a cricket leg at the first meeting and asked her if she could eat it.
But in the end, they were in a kettle, and she took his fruit and drifted along the river.
They are the people of the world.
However, Arrietty will always think of the human boy named Xiang.
Sugar will always melt. But I don’t like it or miss it.

And this kind of liking and protection, probably in the eyes of our adults, is not a big deal. It's just friendship.
But just in this film,
such pure feelings surpassed too many so-called loves in reality.
It's faint. Nothing to ask for.

Xiang said, the sentence that you are already a part of my heart should have two meanings.

One is that I will never forget you.
Second, even if I may not survive, you are the proof that I live in this world. You will live stubbornly in this world for me.

They did not agree, and will see you again.

I should never see each other again in my life.

But as said in the lyrics.
[Under the sun, surrounded by flowers, I want to spend every day with you.
With such a desire in my heart, I will live on my own toward the new world. ]

It's not that I don't want to see you again, it's not that I don't want to be with you.
Rather, I already know that when I live a good life. Live my day well.
I know, that would be equivalent to spending another day in this world with you.
This is another meaning of life.

PS: Dubbing also Too much love. It's Shida Miku and Kamiki Takanosuke.
I am obsessed with CP.
Miyazaki did not paint this time. But the plot has already won. The theme song is not out of standard.

    Shawn: I never saw her again. But the following summer I returned and was happy to hear the people in the house down the road talking about how many things in their home had gone missing.
