This time, Hayao Miyazaki's film begins with a poem. In the unique tune of the lute, it hits the screen and catches people off guard. The music that accompanies the little boy's flight in his dream is "Brigade Road (Flying in a Dream)", which appears repeatedly in the film, and every subtle change implies a different emotion.
As a result of deciding to settle in the real world, such as monsters, mountain gods and elves, it seems that they have to be put away. However, Hayao Miyazaki used the interweaving of dreams, imagination and reality to successfully add many fantasy elements, and the connection is very natural and almost invisible. However, because Mr. Gong Lao has always been concise in the narrative structure, it is difficult for you to squeeze it into the polyphonic structure for dissection - both are dreams, illusions, and reality intertwined, and "Eight and a Half" is more thoughtful aftertaste. (Actually, I think this sentence can be deleted, because "The Wind Rises" is a reality supplemented by a dream. It is still too different from "Stardust Once Upon a Time" and "Eight and a Half", which are mainly narrated by fantasy.) In
the end It's a person who does animation, but his heart is still too open.
The wind is the thread that runs through the whole film, not only shrouding the life of Jiro Horikoshi, but also from blowing the hat to blowing the parasol, connecting Erlang and Nahoko together. At the same time, it is also a metaphor for the difficulties and obstacles in life, which can be said to have far-reaching implications.
The feelings of the Japanese are very strange, delicate and long, like jade, like Tai Chi, and they often feel that they are too restrained. This extremely implicit emotion cannot be expressed without the help of external objects, so Feng took on such a responsibility.
But this kind of feeling is weak on the outside and strong on the inside, and once it resonates with it, it cannot be extricated. This is why Hisaishi and Miyazaki complement each other so well. In the process of watching "The Wind Rises", I often feel an indescribable sense of sadness, which is obviously not the tears set by the plot. Sometimes when the music is played, the protagonist looks up at the sky, and the tears can't stop.
After Erlang and Nahoko first met, the film spent a lot of time describing his aircraft design career. For non-lovers like me, the resonance of this narrative will be greatly reduced - any kind of beauty and art is obviously a boy's stuff. But occasionally, when Erlang walks alone in the snow, or lights a cigarette, the sadness of "life is like a traveller suddenly between the heavens and the earth". At this time, the journey will often sound, and the poem is engraved in your mind again through music:
"The wind is blowing, you can only try to survive!"
In the intertwined handling of the two contradictions of dream and reality (the obsession with aircraft design and the reference to the aircraft as a killing tool) and career and love, the story advances step by step. climax. In fact, this is basically a classic Hollywood narrative, but I don't really like it. Fortunately, the details are excellent - with the help of Caproni who keeps appearing in dreams, Erlang's fantasy world is constructed to compare with the reality that fails again and again; the two walk from the heavy rain to the sunny sky and look back at the rainbow, which is almost a metaphor for their fate. Emotional journey; the circling paper plane landed behind Cai Suozi, and it was a simile to how their feelings took advantage of the wind and how nature was sensible. After that, Cai Suozi's hat fell and was caught by Erlang, which seemed to have completed a mutual relationship. The gift of reincarnation...
The soundtrack in "Magic Mountain" is always brisk and clear, making people feel that the sky is clear, but after all, the wind is still blowing. Nahoko was seriously ill, and she decided to go to the plateau for recuperation, so that she could live with Erlang! But when? It will be about thirty or forty years before the drug against tuberculosis is developed. Is the so-called convalescence a kind of deception? So when Nahoko ran down the mountain to meet Erlang, they made a decision to stay together. In the face of Mr. Kurokawa's questioning, Erlang replied, "We are running out of time, we have come to our senses." Then Nahoko slowly paced in the moonlight in a beautiful kimono, accompanied by the dancing cherry blossoms, as if saying : "The flowering period is very short, do you still want to bloom?" The whole plot also reached its climax in a hug.
Two people who have hardly asked each other, practice "instantism", which makes people feel beautiful. "I can't go back to what happened before this moment, so I don't need to worry about it; after this moment, it hasn't come yet, so I don't have to worry about it. Only now is the place where I can work hard and manage the most."
Sure enough . It is enlightened.
So Nahoko, like the cherry blossoms, chose to leave the most beautiful time to her lover, and then she went to the mountains alone - I am afraid that the next time will be more pain than happiness, I have realized.
Erlang finally succeeded in designing a satisfactory aircraft, completing his ten years as a designer. Only for the military, these metals are not works of art, but tools of killing. He waved goodbye to the past with relief. After a dream of ten years, the film came to an end - a little rushed and not enough.
What makes me more dissatisfied, it seems that many things in the film are too transparent. For example:
- "I love you from the moment you helped me get my hat."
- "I love you too, from the moment the wind sent you to me."
Or Caproni The "a person as beautiful as the wind" pointed out
is too straightforward. After all, the film has created an extremely appropriate atmosphere. These sentences can easily appear in the hearts of the audience. taste. Now that you've made up your mind to show it to adults, what's wrong with being a little more secretive?
However, it is already beautiful.
The wind is also blowing in Wuhan, and the only way to live is to work hard.
