I just finished watching Hayao Miyazaki's animation ≪The Girl Who Borrowed Things≫, and I felt entangled in my heart after watching it. It's been a long time since I wrote about the movie. By the feeling of watching this movie, I can write about the movie viewing experience and practice my unfamiliar writing.
The Girl Who Borrowed Objects is an animation that is dull and novel, the plot is reasonable, and the ending is unexpected. The boy came to the quiet ancestral house to recover from his illness, and accidentally saw a little girl. So, a girl who was curious about the outside world and eager to go out to explore the world and a frail boy who was full of pessimism and despair about the upcoming heart disease surgery began. Their own exploration of life, dreams and emotions.
What attracts me the most in the film is the "strangeness" of the villain's life, watching how the small objects that can be seen everywhere in our daily life become props with multiple functions in the hands of the villain, watching the neglected corners of our lives How to become a paradise for the villain's adventure, these are novel and interesting things, refreshing, as if being in a creative market or 798 factory, feeling the charm of imagination and creativity.
What impresses me the most in the film is the peaceful and elegant feelings of the young boys and girls in their ignorant youth. Although the two children are still thirteen or fourteen years old, even of different species, they are destined to have no results, but they are in the dark destiny. The accidental encounter of the next, and then to the love-chasing-like sending sugar and returning sugar, the boy sent flowers to the exquisite kitchen and exposed the villain's secret, and finally the boy and the girl worked together to rescue the villain's mother, and finally the two of them. Farewell in the rising sun, this is undoubtedly a love story, but he can touch people's hearts again and again, and does not make the audience feel awkward because of their species factor, I think, this is what everyone will experience in life The emotional enlightenment experienced, no matter when, where, and whoever is, he is a true feeling that can move you and me and make the audience emotionally resonate.
What impresses me most about the film is the yearning and hope of the hero and heroine for the future. The girl is a villain who loves life. She collects beautiful flowers and herbs without fear of danger. She is full of curiosity about the outside world. She is eager to learn the skills of borrowing things from her father. In the face of separation from the teenager, she still bravely embarks on the road ahead. . Although the boy was full of loss in life due to illness at the beginning, he did not give up on himself, but tried his best to protect the person who seemed weaker than himself, because in the face of death, he understood the value of life better, and hoped that through his own strength, To allow the same vulnerable villain to live a healthy and happy life, he gave the villain sugar cubes, flowers and exquisite kitchens, and helped rescue the villain's mother regardless of his own body. The love for the girl is more because he cherishes life and loves life. In the end, the teenager was infected by the girl, regained his confidence in life, and faced the operation with a positive attitude. Under the rising sun, both of them embarked on their own life journeys with hope, and the ancestral house The acquaintance of the two people, the love and the goodbye, will forever become each other's memory, buried in the bottom of their hearts, inspiring them to move forward bravely and pursue a better life. The film also draws a perfect sentence in the departure of the kettle boat heading for the sun.
This is the first time I watched it carefully. I thought about Hayao Miyazaki's animation, a film full of novelty, emotion and good wishes. How could it not be touching? How can you not be loved? It seems that I have to make up for it, watch more Hayao Miyazaki animations, and feel the light and shadow art that is pure, simple, full of love and hope, surprise and novelty.
