And animation is often the best carrier for adult dreams.
Takahata’s latest full-length animation film, かぐや姫の物語 is adapted from a myth and legend that may be familiar to Asian children. This is a fable that I felt indifferent and satirical when I was a child. Benyue has an indescribable similar but completely different wonderful connection), human complex feelings are a panacea, and it is also a cure for thirst by drinking poison, but it is more real than the boring fairy palace life.
And truth is often the most unforgettable.
Of course Kaguya Ji understood this truth, and Chang'e, who had left her family and abandoned her husband to fly to the Moon Palace, might have seen it in countless cold days and nights in Guanghan Palace. Kaguya Ji was "relegated" to the mortal world and suffered the cold and warmth of the world. She felt all the dialectical emotions from all things in the world-the more happiness it brought her, the more often it could destroy her. Just like the theme of Super Hero in the United States: With great power, comes with great responsibility, what is reflected in mortals is often With great happiness, comes with great suffering.
But this is not what I want to say.
What really tickled my heart is the portrayal of women (Hui Ye, mother, waitress) in this animated film, which is why I think it is similar to Chang'e Flying to the Moon. They are strong and independent, even if they are hit by the world, they can swing lightly. Their existence is to set off the ignorance of most men. In this age when princesses don’t need princes and only need white horses, men will feel the "uncontrollability" of women more and more (of course, smart men don’t want to control women at all). To give a detail, Lizi, when Huiye and Sutemaru's brother reunited in their hometown, when his brother suggested that he eloped with Huiye, he was rejected by Huiye, "I can run by myself, and faster." Then he took his brother to the sky and turned the clouds and rain. In this relationship, the woman has always held sovereignty, and her love has been in a waning place, even though Sutemaru has already married a wife and had children.
The same is true for Chang'e, even if posterity keeps trying to make up reasonable reasons for her to go to the moon in line with the values of patriarchal society. For example, Li Shangyin said: "Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, the blue sky and the blue sky and the night's heart." This is actually the truth. A very typical interpretation of women’s defections from the perspective of men.
But women are so complicated creatures.
Women don't need to be interpreted, they just need to be remembered. "Even if you don't get him, he will remember me forever." This is the attitude of thousands of women towards love. They only need to turn into cinnabar moles and the white moonlight in front of the window, they should not be subjected to the world's secular misconceptions. Rather than worrying about Chang'e and Huiye, it is better to worry about Sutemaru and Houyi who are left in the secular muddy soup.
But most men's minds can tolerate women's instability and unpredictability, because love has never been their main pursuit in this world.
So they should be able to tolerate this poor article.
