After watching the movie, then reading the original book, and then watching the movie again, there is only one feeling, that is, moving.
I don't know what kind of imagination can merge reality and memory with each other, so that virtual and reality can't be distinguished. Isn't this the form of realistic magic themes. The encounter between Xing Nai and Marnie in the film implied an extraordinary relationship from the very beginning. However, the development of the story has not explained what kind of connection they have. It was not until the end of the film that it was surprisingly discovered that this was It turned out to be a love that spanned time and space.
When it comes to family love that spans time and space, many other movies come to mind. In fact, any movie about time travel has a lot of content about family and love. However, those movies are all real time travel, but this movie is about memory.
Memories of wandering between reality and dreams.
In the film, the overall idea is the story of a young girl growing up. For those supernatural scenes, my understanding is that after seeing the wetland mansion, Anna's subconscious (the photo at the end of the film explains this) and the vague memory of the story her grandmother once told her led to her I met my grandmother when I was young and became good friends.
At this point, there are many unresolved questions, but it does not affect the development of the story, and in the final analysis, the film should tell the story of the protagonist's self-growth. Annie went from being a withdrawn, self-isolating, and difficult to communicate with others at the beginning to slowly starting to meet new friends - the little girl Ayaka, through the exploration of a series of strange things, she regained the deep memory. Love and courage to live.
More importantly, she found that she was not an abandoned child, but a series of unfortunate results, but from beginning to end, there is one person who has always loved and protected her, and that is Marnie - her grandmother. .
There are several points of tears in the animation, and what is even worse is that it is quite dense, that is, in the last 20 minutes of the film, the tears can't stop. Especially when grandma was guarding Xiao Xing Nai's bedside, humming music while looking at Xiao Xing Nai lovingly, I immediately thought of my grandma.
Yes, it's really similar. My grandma died when I was less than a year old. At that time, I was younger than Xiao Xingnai. When I was growing up, my relatives told me that although there were several grandchildren, but my grandma is my favorite. Also, my grandmother died of a brain hemorrhage while she was taking care of me.
So, seeing this scene in the film, how can I not think of my own experience.
May grandma be happy in heaven.
