After reading it, I recall that it was just a simple fairy tale. There is no gorgeousness of Princess Mononoke; no fantasy of Chihiro; no sadness of the Tomb of Fireflies... But every detail and every line of dialogue is so profound. A curtain can express my mother's desire to see the sea; a hairpin can mobilize all the emotions of the audience; a piece of background music can be so beautiful and intoxicating... This is the so-called plain and true flavor!
A nagging, timid mother with romantic girlish feelings; a tolerant, courageous and responsible father; a frank, curious and tangled Arrietty; a low-key and reserved but actually lonely in her heart; a kind, gentle but rarely featured aunt Mother-in-law; A Chun, the servant who wants to catch the little guy; Spiller, who is simple and straightforward like a savage child; Nia, the cat who goes from hostility to harmonious coexistence. Attracted by the distinct personality of each character in the story.
The ending of "You are part of my heart" couldn't help crying. Arrietty was not able to be with Sho after all. It's a bit of a pity, but who stipulates that the princess must be with the prince? Whether it's a hairpin or a sugar cube, it's enough to think about it. In the end, it should be the person who can truly be by your side all the time.
