The family has never bought a TV set, which has caused the eldest daughter to be 10 years old and still ignorant of the whole world. Education in an insulated vacuum is also inadvisable. Teachers always say that her daughter lives in a fairy tale world and cannot get out of it. To this end, I decided to accompany my daughter to watch a movie every week, to appreciate the thousands of ways of life in the world. Sweet and sour, everything.
As for Hayao Miyazaki's films, we can't just say "good". In the world of light and shadow, which integrates beauty, love, and various themes, the old man always likes to use goodness and truth to package a broken country. Integrating material sorrow, beauty and light and shadow, and using his unique narrative skills, he presents another somewhat moving Japan.
"From the Slope of Poppies" is a youth inspirational anti-war film,
The plot of the film is not complicated, but it is interlocking, the plot is extremely logical, the story is beautiful, and the human nature is glorious.
The title is the huge creative sequelae brought by the war to people, and the vigorous vitality of young people budding in the new era, intertwined with ignorant love and friendship, there is love in the background, in addition to the dazzling scenery, there is also beautiful humanity.
1. Beautiful scenery, emotional transmission
The most intuitive mark of Mr. Gong is the word "beauty". This story takes place on the seaside, in a small building full of poppies. Our heroine, Hai, is a 14.5-year-old girl who is in bloom like poppies. , get up every morning before dawn to cook for his family (sister, brother, grandmother and other guests who live in the small building of the hospital).
Judging from her skillful movements, this girl is a very sensible child. Because her father died early (the ship wrecked during the war, please remember this detail, it is very important), and her mother was studying abroad. She took up the burden of the family early, And every day, a flag representing the weather of the day will be raised on the flagpole by the sea (another key point).
It just so happened that my daughter also watched that movie with me, and the sense of substitution was very strong.
In less than five minutes, these things explained in the camera have their own reasons and consequences, which paved the way for the whole story.
And the heroine picks fresh poppies every day and puts them in the living room at home, which also just represents a happy girl with no worries (there is a foreshadowing later)
At school, Hai is a sophomore in high school, and his sister is a freshman.
Because Tokyo is going to host the Olympic Games, the school consortium wants to demolish the old teaching building, which has caused extreme dissatisfaction among the students.
Radical society organized a protest by jumping from upstairs into the pool, and the boy who jumped into the water fell from the sky. The handsome face was imprinted in Hai's heart. Don't think it was love at first sight, or some kind of ghost story where a beauty saves a hero. .
There are two important reasons why the boy can fall from the roof to the girl's heart.
One is that the teenager looks very similar to his dead father, and the Hai family has a group photo of his father and two other friends (a foreshadowing of the next key point.)
The second is that Hai raises the flag at the seaside every day, and her sister told her that there is a boat that echoes the same flag that she raises every day, but the girl just saw a little poem describing this incident in the school magazine, and the school magazine just fell from the sky Published by Boy Jun himself.
Jun, who jumped from the roof, immediately became the idol of the whole school. His sister took the photo of him jumping off the building and asked Hai to accompany her to find him for autographs. At this time, because the next issue of the school magazine was coming out soon, Jun was too busy, so he asked his sister to get along with him. Hai helped. In the entire small building of the Hai family, everyone would do their own thing happily. Only Hai belongs to everyone. to the sea.
Just a few small things, what kind of girl Hai is, everyone knows it! Kind, beautiful, caring, a kind of beautiful light spreads on her ordinary face, a girl like a red flower! Poetry is as beautiful!
The girl came home late because of the school magazine. Even so, there was no smoke from cooking in the dark home. Everyone was still waiting for her to cook. She hurriedly handled everything and found that the ingredients were missing, so she quickly prepared to go down the mountain to buy vegetables. .
At this time, Jun, who had just finished working on the school magazine, passed by on a bicycle, and the two passed by. How logical and intricate is this place?
Compared to the idol youth drama of my big motherland, I couldn't help but click three likes! I remember Mr. Liu watching the movie "Sweet Crit" played by Lu Fang and Guan Xiaotong on the movie official account. Both of them went to college, and they were still learning Apple on the blackboard. The words at that time are still fresh in my memory: "Parents who are well-prepared for early education, The child has learned this word in his stomach, he is in college, and he is still learning about apples, please let me have a snack, this drama has been renamed IQ Crit!"
The screenwriter is really good at learning about causality and logical principles, right?
The girl naturally sat in the boy's car and bought the ingredients, and the boy turned around and walked in the opposite direction. In addition to her feelings, the girl returned home happily and made dinner after eating the snacks given by the boy.
Jumping off the building, bicycles, the afterglow of the rising sun, skirts, the bridges that youth dramas should have, the same is true in this movie, but the arrangement is so reasonable, so appropriate, so perfect, the mood is still there, the sweetness spreads in my heart, and I don't feel embarrassed at all. .
I'll ask Chinese youth dramas to jump off the building more naturally, and the bicycle skirt should be more normal, please don't be embarrassed, okay?
2. The plot of the bloody dog turned into a classic
There is no need to hide Hai's worries, a group of enthusiastic people around her are actively matching the two. I checked my background in Japan and realized that the marriage age for women was 16, and it was just adjusted to 18 recently.
Then after the war, it was urgent to expand the population, and earlier marriages should be allowed. From this point of view, it is normal for a 14.5-year-old to fall in love, so it is natural for people around to match a pair of handsome young men and women.
But there was a big problem at this time. A big sister who wanted to leave the small building specially held a farewell party, and also for the two people to have more contact, and invited the enthusiastic teenagers in the school who were running for the demolition incident. .
At this time, Hai showed Jun his father's photo, but Jun found out that he had the same photo at home. He was adopted. The information revealed by the adoptive father was that the two shared a father.
The boy was messed up, and he no longer dared to approach the girl.
A lonely girl, her daily heavy housework makes her yearn for the friendship of her peers. After being treated indifferently by Jun many times, she decides to ask Jun to clarify.
The sky at this time was the rainy season all day long, which was very much like a girl's mind. The umbrella that she held up was also the medium that the girl wanted to rely on. The subtle thoughts are conveyed by the weather, which makes people feel instantly.
The girl held up a red umbrella and waited outside the campus. After seeing the boy, she bravely asked, "If you don't like me, tell me." When encountering a problem, she does not run away and is a strong girl who can face her heart. All the people push the housework and housework to themselves, never complain, the girl who silently picks it up and does it, like poppies in full bloom, inadvertently covered the hillside and our hearts.
Jun had to tell the truth. Although he thought it was too bloody, the girl still said: "Even though fate made a joke with us, even though the reality cannot be changed, I embrace this fate, accept this reality, and still love you."
Here I feel that Hai is full of expecting fatherly love, and she never believed that her father was dead. This relationship is even more beautiful, and she cherishes this fate.
However, after returning home, she was still depressed, did not cook, hid under the quilt, and remained silent for several days, the poppies in the hall withered, until she regained her strength and put on flowers to represent the new life.
She accepted this relationship, and her mother returned home, which made Hai's mood cheerful. She was rarely like a girl of the same age as she was coquettish in her mother's arms and wept, and told Jun's story to her mother.
The mother told another version of the story, but Hai still didn't believe it. If the relationship between the two was mistaken, the consequences would not be similar.
I leave some suspense for everyone! As for whether the teaching building is demolished or not, and whether Hai Hejun is his biological siblings (the story is definitely not bloody, but very human and warm), let's go and watch the movie yourself.
3. Beautiful picture + excellent music + positive theme
I won't say much about the screen, just put the picture directly.
The music is also full of retro aesthetics, each piece can move people, the theme of war weariness, the topic of nostalgia (students’ nostalgia for the teaching building), the expectation of human nature (symbol of the flag of the sea), the sprouting of youth (the whole campus). They are all in full swing in maintaining the teaching building, and finally they finally ushered in a good result).
The whole constitutes a very good-looking youth drama. Although so many years have passed, I can still feel the sincerity of the director.
Finally, put a few classic lines:
I can't tell why I love you, but I know that you are the reason why I don't love others. When a man's name comes up repeatedly in a woman's mouth, whether it's praising that man or scolding that man, the subtext is that I love him. Youth is to make you smile, but also inexplicable pain. No one is a fool, but sometimes, we choose to be foolish to feel that little thing called happiness.
You said that if I show my daughter such a movie that promotes puppy love, it will not have a bad effect. As a result, her attention is not on it at all. She just said that the scenery is so beautiful, and she really wants to go to Japan in the future.
If you can teach your child what kind of boy is good, can relate to, and will not negatively affect her, why not?
After all, youth only comes once, isn't it good to fly? It's used to feel all the good things. Instead of restricting, it's better to teach her how to avoid mistakes, isn't it?
Pay attention not to get lost, talk about movies together
