If you climb a slow and long slope, will you see the warm summer breeze?

The last time I took insects to the theater to watch "The Secret World of Arrietty" (The Secret World of Arrietty) was coming to an end, and the surrounding children, including her, were fidgeting, urinating sugar and drinking drinks and yelling. Mom, it seems that the scene where Arrietty bids farewell to the boys is far away, and it is indeed true. Although born out of the novel, the people of the two worlds collide head-on, the plot is not quick, but they often hang in the eyes of the throat, and the picture is so evergreen, but the emotions contained in it are really still flowing, and a few-year-old child may not necessarily pick it up. trick. Especially the big boy Xiang, because he is ill, keep a sense of determination, without turning his head and raising his eyebrows, he knows that she is the little one behind him. She is dripping with cold sweat and her heartbeat is thundering. The contrast is too big. So when it was Xiang's turn to chase Xiao Ah, panting, he became increasingly sensitive and seemed to be a little late. Only a little more Hollywood-like exposure could the small audience understand his mind.

Children like to be vigorous and straightforward, and the dazzling magical elements of Qiqu are best in place. Bugs obviously pay more attention to "City in the Sky", "Howl's Moving Castle", and "Spirited Away". This has something to do with age. Wait until the eyes of the heart slowly expand, and no longer stop at the cortex, you can see more, and you don't want to be seen more. This is actually the survival instinct of the Arriettys. I like its subtlety. Sometimes my mind drifts to the periphery of the plot, admiring the condensed green screen or the fragrant tea made by Xiao Ah's mother.

In comparison, animations that are completely realistic, such as the recently watched "Side Ear" and "The Hillside with Poppies", are more lethal to me. Both of them talk about the life of a teenager. The ancient "Poppy" Xia Yang is full of vigor and vitality, but the new "Poppy Yu" is sad before the rain, and the exterior scene is blue at night, and the quiet and lonely interior. The appearance rate is quite high. As for the style of painting, "Poppy" seems not as changeable as "Looking to the ears". The characters are all thin, tall and thin, but the details are still very catchy. The kitchen is filled with dishes, scooped rice, turned on the tap, and in front of the table. Small actions such as engraving oil characters, opening photo albums, etc. are never sloppy. The detailed life walking clock is a bit similar to Li Ang and Hou Mai's films. The small parts have no specific meaning, but they cannot be ignored or ignored.

The narration of "Side Ear Listen" is very smooth and not sensational. Except for Baron Cat and his phantoms in Wen's writings and the memories of Grandpa Shengsi, everything else is limited to real survival and the natural accumulation of emotions. After seeing it, my heart is warm, and when I think about it, it is still very surreal, almost perfect life. First, Wen and Shengsi have an ideal age difference. Although he is naughty, he is not so naive. He likes a person. He can control the degree better, not too close or far away. "Xiang is similar to his opponent's frank and carefree Wen, so he is cherished, and the arrow of happiness emerges from the beginning of the confrontation. Second, one of the two is about to graduate from high school, and the other is facing high school, but they part ways, and the future may not seem to be a problem. "Poppy" also gives a brief account of the protagonist's future, which seems not worth mentioning, but the reality is always reversed. Toward, I have to mention. The way of resolution of the animation highlights the beliefs and believes that the opponent will be for a lifetime, and at a very young age, this is an ideal state. The two chose their partner at the wrong time. This is the second thing. They are so young that they can clarify the way to the future. Their hearts are rushing, and their ambitions are unswerving. The new love almost immediately turns to Platonic side by side, saving it. There are so many trivial twists and turns, too simply to be happy. On the surface, Wen meets the talent, appearance, and family of Shengsi, so lucky to be outrageous. On the other hand, Wen is equally precious to Shengsi. So this is everything, and the perfect love as early as possible. It is closer to reality, but in the case of Grandpa Shengsi, life continues irresistibly, almost happily, but time cannot take away his past regrets, and the irreplaceable Cat Baroness still stays in his heart. I don’t know if I’m a guest in my dream, and I wake up in a daze. This is the truth about being alive.

The love of the midsummer morning sun in "Side Ear" turns into a bright moon in the sea, or a tear among the flowers under the moon in "The Hillside Where Poppies Are in Full Bloom." "Pleurotus" is full, "Poppy" is cloudy and clear. Love has a soothing and healing medicinal smell. Using the protagonist, Meilu, Kazama is here instead of his father. The father's love engulfed by war and the ocean, changed to the bright moon, is the stability after the pain. It is very sad to think about it. I have been copying movie posters these days. The poster seems to be made of coarse-grained paper with light blue lines obliquely brushed down, and the whole body is covered with jagged blades. Mei Lu raised her face, looked at the flagpole gently and firmly, raising hope every day, looking forward to returning home, the clouds and water surging in the distance coincided with her rough living situation.

Kazama's love for Mei Lu was expressed indifferently, a bit like when the brave and fierce magician Hal saw Sophie who was restored to his original body at night, his eyes were gentle and he quietly closed the door. Kazama is a figure calling for rain in the student club. Facing Mei Lu, there is a lot of silence. When he saw her, he obviously paused, and after the explanation, he concentrated on his work. He will look for her in the crowd, and then quickly press anticipation. He cares, the moon is down and the slope is long, and he drives her to gallop and buys her an extra bite of delicious cakes, which has reached the upper limit. It was he who knew that there was force majeure before their love, and after a smile and confession, he just shook her hand severely, and the face that was cut from the pain quickly recovered. The more sensible he is, the heavier she will be, and she has to remain calm on the surface, which is no less than the protagonist of a miserable drama.

Mei Lu's waiting for Kazama, from the very beginning, has complicated meanings, inexplicable poems, unsuspecting people jumping in the air, and the semaphore in her sister's painting, all relaying another kind of waiting for her father. She waited too tired for too long, and then kept suppressing it. Obviously, she was not as comfortable as the wind, so she was the one who guarded the school gate in the rain, and she was the only one who confessed. After listening to the mother's life experience, half relieved and half worried, the long-term grievance finally floated, and the tears stopped in Mei Lu's eyes, one by one on the back of her hand, and then it turned into a flood. With such a delicate brush, changing to a live-action version, there is nothing more than a superior lens language.

One after another Hayao Miyazaki, calm as the sea, tough as a reed. I feel that his son is very good at his true biography, and he is also a person who understands love, so he can handle it so implicitly and beautifully. Maybe it can't respond to the straight expectations of the small audiences, but it freezes the beautiful feelings of life and dreams that are no longer there. "If you climb a slow and long slope, will you see the warm breeze of summer", Xiami.com, I don't know who it is, the translated theme song is so poetic. Where the poppy goes uphill, when the setting sun and the grass are tumultuous, is there he (she) standing in his heart? Every one of us has asked this question.

    "The Hillside with Poppies in Bloom" Why is there no poppies in bloom? I deliberately checked the information and tested it: There is a restaurant called "Yu Poppies" on a ramp in Bunkyo District, Tokyo. Before the original comics were published, the author and Kodansha editors often discussed matters here. After the comics were booked, there was "Yu The name "Beauty Poe". The animation just keeps the original name. As for "blooming", it is the play of Chinese translation. After Wu Lang finished filming this film, he finally got the approval of the old man Gong. This is the era of rapid economic take-off in Japan after the war, the era of vigorous awakening of all kinds of thoughts, the era of vigorous struggles of the All-Academic Federation and all-community, and the era of the upcoming Tokyo Olympics. The entire film is full of vitality and freedom and rebellious spirit. The orange lights of Shitamachi at dusk and the bustling city atmosphere, the bicycles of Kecang clawing down the hill, the girlish skirts and braids, the fried croquettes eaten while walking, the huge ships of Yokohama Port, seagulls and siren, in the night The confession of the girl at the bus stop, the teenagers are defending their own spiritual corner... And in 2020, after a reincarnation, the East Olympics will be cancelled. Looking back at this film, how can you not be embarrassed?
