The look and feel of "The Wind Rises" is not comfortable. It is not like Hayao Miyazaki's other masterpieces. After reading it, it makes people feel calm and happy, and ignites hope and love for life and people. The film has a very slow and silent rhythm that makes it difficult to get in, but also has a very different, low temperament and lost feelings. Its story is full of sadness and doubts, more like a muffled elegy. This elegy is not only about the passing of youth, love and health, but also about Japan, a country that once led the world with advanced technology, has to face a confusing future and a turbulent road ahead. Hayao Miyazaki's recent works all have this sentimental style. The other one is "The Little Man Who Borrowed Things". Although "The Little Man Who Borrowed Things" is not signed and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, it is here. In the introduction of this work, we can clearly see that Hayao Miyazaki not only made the script, but also participated in the filming and drawing a lot. To a certain extent, "The Little Man Who Borrowed Something" can also be regarded as Hayao Miyazaki's work. In these two recent masterpieces of Hayao Miyazaki, we can clearly smell a pessimistic temperament, this temperament is hidden and lasting, the protagonist is no longer a man and woman with both wisdom and courage, but one of them is always seriously ill. . In "The Wind Rises" is the heroine Nahoko, and in "The Little Man Who Borrowed Something" is the hero with a serious heart disease. They both bid farewell to their lovers and began to face death alone. As Miyazaki is getting older, Hayao Miyazaki himself has been suffering from illness. In his retirement declaration, he also mentioned the impact of illness on him. This is Hayao Miyazaki's farewell ceremony to the audience and the world. , Time brought him into a gloomy old age, which made his always fresh and positive film work, and also began to have an atmosphere of sadness and helplessness. Time can take away a person, no matter how vigorous and amazing his creativity was; but his works continue his vitality and life, and can always interpret his legends and dreams in the world, so the artist also has his happiness. Japan is an ill-fated nation. If we understand its difficult and tortuous origins, it may help us better understand its sad culture and even the existence of militarism. The island country where Japan is located is in the active zone of the crust, and has always been a frequent earthquake and tsunami-prone area and a victim country. Moreover, the soil in Japan is poor and narrow, making farming difficult. With many people and few resources, the pressure of life is very high, and the Japanese have developed a concept of life that is highly self-disciplined and lacks a sense of security. The Japanese love cherry blossoms and cherish life very much. The flowering period of cherry blossoms is short and fragile, but the flowers are as gorgeous as clouds. When they bloom, they wither. This reunion, the integration, is exactly the Japanese perspective on the splendor and fleetingness of life. There are obvious tendencies of "self-destruction" and "suicide" in Japanese culture, masochistic films or weird and grotesque perverted behaviors can often be seen in the images of this island country, which reflects the Japanese people's insecurity and frequent times of self-life Anxious national mental state. Xu Haofeng once wrote in his film review that "China has a vast land and resources, and there are problems that cannot be solved. Men and women tend to elope and escape; while Japan is small and closed, and there is no way to go. Men and women often choose to die for love and commit suicide by throwing themselves into the sea." It is hard to imagine how much effort and will this island country, which occupies only a tiny chess piece in the ocean, has managed to win the situation where it is today. A magnitude 9 earthquake in Japan in 2011 triggered a massive tsunami that swept across large fishing villages and land, collapsed the Fukushima nuclear power plant, and spilled violently radiated nuclear fuel. This incident was a fatal blow to the confidence and survival of the Japanese nation. The irreversible radiation pollution from the Fukushima nuclear power plant is a huge setback and psychological trauma for a country like Japan that trusts technology and generally uses nuclear power plants for power supply. This incident not only made Japan, but also all countries in the world realize that some resources are so uncontrollable and deadly, while some technologies can only solve the temporary energy shortage, but the hidden dangers may last forever. After that, Germany announced the cancellation of the application of nuclear power plants for the first time. After the nuclear fallout, millions of Japanese residents evacuated their native lands, leaving most of their belongings and pets on the deadly lands. These areas are closed and sealed off. I watched a documentary about the aftermath of the nuclear radiation in Japan. The owner had to return to the residence for a short time to pack up some necessities. The dogs and cats chased the owner excitedly. Obviously, they began to show symptoms of lethargy and slow movement due to the continuous and strong radiation. When the people left, the dog had been chasing after the car desperately, and the people sitting in the car were heartbroken and burst into tears. The exhaustion of nuclear radiation can last for thousands of years, and it is unknown when it will return here. People need to find new homes all over again. In Japan, a country with extremely limited living space, because of the sharing and overcrowding of living space, it began to lead to more intense conflicts among people and the gradual collapse of life beliefs. These are the hidden pains in Japan, just like everyone's nightmare alone at night, which cannot be told to outsiders and cannot be resolved. Just after this accident, those who are good at observing international trends may be able to notice that Japan's politics has become increasingly turbulent, and militarism has intensified in recent years, unabashed. It is being tormented by ailments and crises in the body. troubled by internal and external problems Japan is striving for every inch of its overseas territory. For it, every inch is the hope and future of the nation. The ruthlessness stems from the fatal despair in the body. As a leader and a respected thinker in the Japanese animation industry, Hayao Miyazaki will naturally not miss these realities and hidden worries in real life and in Japan. Hayao Miyazaki loves Japan and Japanese culture. In his films, we can often You can appreciate the various ceremonies unique to Japan, parades and even singing and dancing when they die with the waves (see "The Battle of the Heisei Tanuki"), and you can also accidentally see the quiet and simple green mountains and rivers in the Japanese countryside, and the simple folk customs (see "My Neighbor Totoro"). "). But Hayao Miyazaki is against war. He does not have a vague and ambiguous attitude towards World War II like Yasujiro Ozu. His attitude is firm and clear. As a living philosopher and humanist, Hayao Miyazaki is against war and development. Industry destroys the natural environment, and even opposes people who choose to harm others for their own benefit. These are the beautiful minds of this animation master. In real life, war and harm have never stopped for a moment. I think the reason why Hayao Miyazaki is a master is that he strives to maintain this beauty and friendliness in the world of beacon fires, and strives to create the kind of paradise that Sophie met in "Moving Castle", and strives to make us feel relieved and peaceful. Feel comforted. Even if this cry and persistence seem so submerged, they cannot stifle the battles and fights that arise in life. Those who have pure dreams in the bloody reality are undoubtedly strong and brave. Although Hayao Miyazaki's works are called "girl animation" (that is, with girls as the protagonists and the characteristics of women's worship), his male protagonists are also comparable to perfect people. These people are not only handsome and strong, but also full of intelligence and tolerance. Ashitaka in "Princess Mononoke" is one of them. The courage and excitement of women are explosive and urgent. They are inevitably emotional and extreme in their own gender; but the hero's courage is so tough, tolerant and rational. In Gong's "Girls Animation", we can still see the dominance of men in terms of gender and their invisible, indisputable leadership. Seeing these perfect young people often makes me feel ashamed. I've always wondered, should we follow these perfect movies and these perfect role models? They are unrealistically perfect and impersonal. The realm created by Hayao Miyazaki's animation makes people yearn, and the protagonist is so perfect that it makes people chill. Because in reality, I drag a heavy body and a body full of faults to crawl through the world, making stupid mistakes, short-sighted and irritable, gloomy and isolated, constantly being criticized or taught by others; As Eileen Chang said, "Life is a
