Among the animated films, Hayao Miyazaki's films are the most well-known, especially "Spirited Away", which was recently released in domestic theaters. He is also the first thinker in Japan to raise animation to a humanistic level. Although his themes There are differences, but they are full of dreams, environmental protection, humanities, peace and equality and anti-war messages.
In contrast, Japanese director Jin Min , who is strongly influenced by European film thinking , is relatively low-key. His animation works are more realistic and worrying. He focuses on the exploration of the character's spiritual world and the ambiguity between dreams and reality . It's more like an independent film in the animated film industry.
Perfect Blue (1997)
"Memory Trilogy" Jin Min participated as a screenwriter. Although he is not a director, he has a strong sense of "author's animation". The film consists of three stories, "Her Memories", "The Stinkiest Weapon", and "The Street of Cannons".
"Her Memories" expresses a kind of tragic romance with a beautiful and grand world view. A pair of astronauts entered an opera singer's memory world in a spaceship. Members are also buried here.
" The Stinkiest Weapon" is like a dark humor, but also has a strong irony. The small staff mistakenly believes that the chemical weapon researched by the government emits a deadly stench, and wherever it goes, it is a disaster. Unconscious involvement in the government's conspiracy symbolizes the distorted values being spread by this innocent little girl.
"Street of Cannons" has a strong sense of anxiety. Under the repression of imperialism, human form and consciousness are like robots. The value of their existence is to make artillery shells, command and command the shelling of those enemies who they do not know who they are. Even the little child who represents hope has long been replaced by this thought, and its anxiety is thought-provoking.
