At the beginning of the film, with the fall of the little girl, a process of human technology development was inserted, and a city in the sky that was floating powered by windmills was built, but then a ruin appeared, the city in the sky perished, and humans returned to the land. superior. I don't know what caused its demise, but there are only two - natural disasters or man-made disasters, more likely man-made disasters, wars between humans destroying the cities they built with their own hands. In the film, after humans know this place, they scramble to find it, loot it and take it for themselves.
This can't help but remind me of "Three-Body Problem". If other planets are discovered, will other planets be at war with us or will they live in peace with us? Because even now, countries are still fighting for their own interests, and countries are now scrambling to develop space technology. Maybe they are as polluted as the earth and lack of resources or even worse, and they will start a war on us in order to expand their territory and plunder resources. Or maybe they are more advanced and more civilized than us. They have understood the importance of protecting natural resources and coexisting peacefully in countless destructions and reconstructions. They will not fight with us, but will teach us technology and civilization to help us develop. and survive. The hope is the latter. The so-called "roots must be rooted in the soil, survive with the wind, spend the winter with the seeds, and sing the spring with the birds". Perhaps a deeper interpretation is not to forget the roots and the roots. Don't forget all the resources and wealth that nature has given you, and don't forget the good nature of human beings. Machines are neither good nor evil, but humans do.
Before I saw it, I thought that the best picture that would make me feel the best should be the screenshot of the city in the sky, but after reading it, what I want to save the most is the picture above, simple and beautiful! At the end of the film, the protagonist chanted a spell of destruction, and all the high technology was destroyed, but the robot was still alive, with the flowers and birds. I saw an interpretation that shocked me, "The subtext seems to tell us that he has separated from technology and sublimated into life." He cherishes and loves the existence of life more than we do.
The most sad scene for me is the fallen robots next to the tombstones, covered with flowers and moss. The first time I watched it, I didn't see it clearly. When I went back to watch it, I was like the heroine, and tears were about to come out in an instant. I couldn't tell the feeling. For hundreds of years they have silently guarded the city, created by humans and abandoned here. Maybe they don't understand loneliness, they just guard these flowers and lives according to human programming. Or maybe they enjoy this loneliness and guard this harmony and tranquility with these flowers and life. This picture is both bleak and beautiful!
The dialogue between Shida and Baloo on the watchtower also made people feel very beautiful. Although there were two eavesdropping parties, the expressions on their faces after listening to the dialogue showed that they were a group of kind and peaceful people. cute person. And Baloo's line: "I'd love to see where Hilda was born, too." It couldn't be better!
Although it is an animation, the portrayal of the characters' emotions is very delicate. For example, Hida’s trembling cry when he was threatened by Muska, the scared expression when he woke up the Sky Stone, the feeling that he wanted to be rescued by a robot but was afraid that he would hurt himself, and seeing the fallen robots beside the tombstone silently guarding his hometown The sad tears...even the animation is more emotional than the stiff performances of some domestic films now.
After reading a lot of comments, some people want to be a tree, deeply rooted, symbiotic with the earth, and accompanied by flowers and plants. There are also some people who want to be the robots in the film and guard this beauty. And you, what kind of person do you want to be?
