Sky City, the name is very good. As soon as I saw it, it aroused a lot of imagination. Because we have had an inexplicable reverence for the sky since we were young, and we always feel that it is the place where the gods live and have magic power. And the city in the sky, what kind of place will it be? What is the living condition of the residents there?
You won't understand until you watch the whole movie. The original Sky City was also a place where people went to a place similar to the "Xanadu" mentioned by the Chinese "Tao Yuanming" in order to stay away from the earth and many complicated crowds. It's just that the city in the sky uses a flying stone on the earth to create a paradise in the sky. In addition, in the early city of the sky, Laputa also has a high-tech level that people on the ground cannot touch.
In the end, the residents of Laputa gave up the city in the sky and returned to various parts of the mainland to live an ordinary life, leaving a city in the sky to float in the air. At first, life in the sky may not be as convenient as the earth, resources, climate and other factors. Well, in addition to the powerful high-tech, if there are greedy and murderous people in the clan, then the city in the sky will bring devastating disasters to other races on the whole earth. So these early inhabitants will leave the sky city, right?
Perhaps, the development of history is complete, but we all know that as long as human desires and footprints reach, there is no pure land. There are always people in the crowd who have endless desires. They are extremely indulgent in their desires. They will not give up until their goals are achieved, and they will not give up until they rule the whole world. Therefore, the real paradise has long disappeared, and the "city in the sky" in the movie is also because human beings already know the existence of the city in the sky. In addition, there are indeed descendants of the Laputa family, "Muska", who also has the ambition to conquer the world. Therefore, after the protagonist of the movie "Xida" chanted the ancient spell, the city in the sky with the fragrance of birds and flowers disintegrated and collapsed.
So the first thing you see from this film is people's desire for money, such as those pirates, those soldiers in the army. The second is the king's complex. Many people always hope that they have superpowers and can do whatever they want in all human races. like a god or a god. On the other hand, this is even more the case in China, where thousands of monarchs and dictatorships are like ghosts, reviving from the ashes. Everyone who joins the Alliance will also say "Long live Chairman Sun" to President Sun. Isn't that what the king's plot is at play? Even if you are not a king, everyone in China has such a subconscious mind, which will be exposed in due time. I think Zhou Enlai was the first to shout "Long Live Chairman Mao" to Mao Zedong. This exists in foreign countries, and it has been lurking in human society, or it can be bluntly said that this is the traditional culture that China is proud of. The plot of the king, the despotism of the emperor, so all the emperors want long live? Didn't Qin Shihuang just send thousands of boys and girls to alchemy?
Therefore, Hayao Miyazaki's film also directly points to the darkest side of human nature. That is, in addition to greed for money, it is the plot of the king, a god-like existence. Although the film Li Shida and her friends survived, this scene is warm and touching, romantic and full of hope, but they will always face the eternal, these terrible and ridiculous personality flaws of human beings, and the bad guys will always come back from the ashes Appear, appear in a cycle of reincarnation, because most of them can't avoid the inner demon.
