When I was young, I always thought about what I would be like when I grew up, and I always had endless curiosity and expectations about the world and life. But when I grow up, I think about the things I once wanted to experience and find that it is not as interesting as I imagined. In fact, it's not that things are not interesting anymore, it's that when we grow up and our mood changes, this thing doesn't mean much to us anymore.
Mary Smith, an ordinary little girl, perhaps like thousands of children, feels ordinary and extraordinary, longs to be recognized, longs to be praised, longs to be special in the eyes of others. So when she was praised and praised by the headmaster of the magic school, she was very happy and easily trusted this person who had known each other for less than 10 hours. In the world of children, maybe everyone can be trusted. Only when children have experienced enough betrayal and deception will they become adults after disappointment. In fact, we are all disappointed children.
Some people think that Mary is not like a particularly positive, positive, secondary heroine in the general sense, she is vain and loves to lie. But this also makes Mary more real. She is just like us. She has small flaws but also has a good heart. She regrets her mistakes and wipes away her tears.
Some people will say that although "Mary and the Witch's Flower" is the work of Mirin Hongchang who left Ghibli, there are still many shadows of Ghibli animation. Whether it is the characters, style and storyline, or the familiar Miyazaki style. Even magic is reminiscent of the Harry Potter series, and the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Deep Forest is reminiscent of Hogwarts. But I was trying to understand what this very similar movie was trying to tell us, and when I heard Mary say "this is the last time magic was used", I thought I understood what I was trying to understand through the movie: It's good to experience something, even if it's not so good, it makes you miserable, tears, helpless, and makes you lose, but it will always pass, and life goes on. Tomorrow is a brand new day.
