Fragments - Forgotten Books

The mechanical product of scientific and technological civilization is a puppet that has been deliberately vilified.

The guardian of the city in the sky, sent a smiling flower.

The prosperous world is completely forgotten. Like the song "Two Two Forgotten".

That moment accompanied me, is a deep sadness.


Waiting for the dying city for thousands of years, taking care of a piece of green life alone. Seeing the visitor, he still just chooses to be alone as usual.

Dolls with the same image also appeared on the battlefield of killing. The good and evil of the human heart reflect different manifestations.

Eventually the city was destroyed. All technological creations, along with the desires of the contenders, were thrown away. Much like the river god in "Spirited Away", he excreted a lot of dirt left over by human beings.

The only thing left is the robotic doll guarding the garden. Probably, that is the only technological product that has not been rejected.

It seems that the struggle between nature and civilization is Miyazaki's preferred theme. Humans are often losers. "Nausicaa" is like this, "Princess Mononoke" is an ambiguous draw, and "Porcupine" simply gave up on itself.

What am I trying to say? forget.

    The pursuit of the sky will never stop.

    In the most memorable scene, the boy carefully caught the girl who fell from the sky... Time freezes at that moment, well, skip the next scene that destroys the atmosphere.
