1. Baloo and Cidari were whispering in the wind, surrounded by vast clouds. The sound reached the cabin and the ears of the mother-in-law and the pirate buddies. Everyone shushes, sighs, or laughs. This scene, beyond the barren civilization, war machines entwined with vines, and silent cemeteries on ancient trees, has become the most moving existence in "City in the Sky" in my heart. Humans' romantic imagination of the sky until death was so logical in those days. At that time, we still felt that the road ahead was the sea of stars and the sea, and we could sail as far as possible. Not anymore.
2. Laputa's robots are invulnerable to swords, swords and halberds, and when they raise their hands, they explode into a sea of fire, which is undoubtedly a weapon for killing people; however, when the city fell silent, the robots became tomb guards, "coexisting with the wind, overwintering with the seeds, and living with the birds. Sing together". Just like the ending of Laputa, he abandoned the so-called technological crystallization and flew to the sky on an ancient tree. Love and nature are eternal purity. I don’t want to match this story to the themes of aggression, anti-war, and environmental protection one by one. I think if there are any of these, Hayao Miyazaki will do it. It responds to the motif of the film, frankly and with infinite meaning.
3. The thief who steals the hook, the Hou who steals the country. In this story, the thief is far more cheerful and more three-dimensional than Hou (the army), especially the role of the mother-in-law, which I personally love! Every time Baloo called "mother-in-law", she would be coldly responded to "call the captain". Hida escaped from death. She sighed: "the good braids were cut." The engineer regretted their lovely boat, and the mother-in-law waved: Build a better one! In the second half of the story, Hida became more responsible, but it wasn't because of her mother-in-law's influence. "Xida will become a mother in the future", so what's so bad? Self-reliance, self-confidence, self-esteem, and the gentle tofu heart behind the mouth of the knife.
4. The story is so simple and boring, but it is a monument of imagination and beauty.
