Domineering and strong to be only "myself"

It hurts my heart to watch this movie.

A little girl with a distinct personality, in the collision with her family and society, gradually lost herself. That kind of immaturity and inspiration of a born calf, that unpretentious voice from the soul, was slowly humiliated and humbly strangled in the cradle in the process of growing up.

At the end, the girl chose the farmer, and I couldn't be happier for her. Because when a person completely removes his defenses, his heart will also be extremely fragile. At this time, no matter who is around her, when she can give her a patient ear, she will have a good impression of each other. But unfortunately, this is not love.

In the end, I am very fortunate that the heroine did not choose the so-called "correct" role given to her by society, but obeyed the call of her heart and started from scratch.

What the movie may want to convey is: Maybe society has given you a lot of constraints, destined to obliterate your nature, but even so, don't give up on pursuing the voice of your own heart.

    It was an era when eating pineapples could be used as a scene. If we look at the present and the past memory, we may say that it has a label like Toshi Kon, but naturally Toshi Kon is an unrealistic artist, and Isao Takahata is a popular storyteller. The difference between Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata always brings such realism.

    1. Pineapples are so delicious, but they all say that they are not delicious. 2. The whole family is sitting together, and the father actually blew smoke rings at everyone's faces in a calm manner. Damn, my father is a disabled person. Smoking at the dinner table, reading the newspaper, and asking her mother to serve the meal as soon as she reaches out her hand, uh 3. What's wrong with a child having something he likes to eat? It's a pig who eats everything obediently. Is there anything wrong with this family when they scold children together? ! 5. There is no bag to use. 6. The fairy tale of the years I was thinking what kind of fairy tale is this? It has a strong sad tone, but when she grew up, Taeko was confident, calm and laughing. She grew up in her own way. A cute woman, and meeting Junxiong who can listen to her carefully is a fairy tale.
