When I saw Arrietty in a red dress with orange hairpins (or clothes-drying clips), I was shocked. She is beautiful and brave, lovely and energetic, and sometimes sad. There was a nagging, timid mom, and a brave, level-headed dad who would encourage him to understand her.
The other protagonists are delicate and weak, they don't need to do anything by themselves, but they are kind-hearted. When he saw the beautiful little person appear, he was also deeply attracted by her. It can also be said that what he lacks in himself, courage and vitality, a happy family and so on. He wanted to do her a favor by getting close to her. But who knew it would be a disservice. He gave Arrietty sugar cubes, found the homes of the little people, and helped them change the kitchen. His original intention was just to give them good things, but who knew that he deeply threatened the safety of the little people. In the end, it was Xiang's persistent efforts bit by bit, so that he helped Arrietty rescue his mother at the end, and successfully escaped the danger. At this time, Xiang is powerful and gentle.
It must be said that there are many faces in our hearts, good and bad, strong and weak, gentle and angry, and they will exist in contradictions. If you are willing to take a little more time to look inside yourself, to understand the reason for their existence, and to give them a chance to live in peace, then you will also have the opportunity to create a new self. It's called growth.
In addition, I would also like to see the relationship between Arrietty and Sho as a kind of pure love, not love. Arrietty lets Xiang know herself better and regains the ability to love (the heart represents love and joy).
My favorite is that "wild man", Spiller, with raw breath, strength and love. Simply love him so much.
By the way, there is a new discovery. If you look closely at the family photos in the movie that mention Xiang's mother, you will find that Xiang's mother is actually the sister in "My Neighbor Totoro", and the hostess in it is her sister, and this house is them The place where I met Chinchilla. Amazing.
