Introduction: When mentioning Ghibli's works, most people think of Hayao Miyazaki. Hayao Miyazaki created Ghibli, giving Ghibli today's brilliance and achievements, but Ghibli not only has a master of Hayao Miyazaki, but also Takada, who is as famous as the old man, and the rising star Hiroshi Yonebayashi. Mi Lin Hongchang's film works are two of the most well-known-"The Little Man Arrietty" and "Marnie in Memory". The two works of this supervisor are both taken from novels by British writers. It is a pity that this talented original artist, animator, and animation director has left Ghibli, who has worked for 19 years, and hopes that his development can be better in the future.

"Marnie, I forgive you.

I like you.

I will never forget you."

This is the story of a lonely patient. Anna lost her family since she was a child and never talks to outsiders. Her only hobby is painting. Painting is a process of communicating with her own soul, so she keeps imagining a girl in the painting-Marnie. When Anna was sent to the country to live in a relative's home to recuperate for respiratory illness, Anna really met Marnie, who was blonde and beautiful like a doll. After the accidental encounter between two lonely people, the abandoned castle in the countryside was also brightly lit at night, and Anna and Marnie had infinite joy in the castle. The loneliness is no longer there, although the joy is short, the two will always be separated.
As for why Marnie and Anna were separated, it was when Anna discovered some of Marnie's history, she felt that Marnie had her own life, so Marnie would not stay with Anna forever. Anna forgave Marnie's departure, because Anna no longer needed Marnie's company, her loneliness no longer existed, and Anna had become stronger. The movie has not yet reflected the fate of Anna and Marnie, and an old acquaintance of Marnie slowly reveals Marnie's past and present. Why Anna's fantasy is so real is because Marnie is her grandmother. There are too many misfortunes in Marnie's family. Her husband died young. Anna's parents, Marnie's daughter and son-in-law, also died in the accident. Marnie assumed the responsibility of raising Anna until her death.
On loneliness, people without relatives are the loneliest. In fact, Anna is not really alone, Anna is happier than Marnie. So Anna finally untied her knot and went home with her adoptive mother. When Anna was alone, her grandmother turned into her fantasy and accompanied her. The loneliness of the grandmother slowly faded with the aging of the grandmother. The grandmother turned into an age similar to Anna, and started a "love affair" with Anna, which is actually the love between her grandmother and her granddaughter's relatives.
Anna grew up with Marnie's company. From an early age to a young girl, Marnie never left. Anna used this magical way to bring her grandmother back to her. In fact, just like the things most lonely people have pinned in their hearts, she creates beautiful people or things in her heart, and she dialogues with her fantasy, gradually, The loneliness disappeared. People's loneliness is often due to one's helplessness, weakness, and lack of love. Without relatives or friends, love is only self-love. No one can help oneself, and nothing can be done by oneself. When fear hits the heart, people are lonely, empty and cold. In the face of loneliness, Marnie and Anna were also scared, but Marnie was accompanied by little Anna, and her responsibility made her no longer alone. When Anna and Marnie were separated, they were saying goodbye to the past self and saying goodbye to loneliness. Saying goodbye to the past may be a way to relieve the suffering of loneliness, even if you are still alone.
Loneliness does not mean loneliness. There is no time when people are alone, but loneliness is not something that all lonely people can experience. Loneliness is a state of detachment from everyone, which is different from the loneliness and emptiness of being alone. When lonely, people become stronger, just like Anna. Even when Anna may have someone in the future, she will no longer feel lonely. Marnie gave her the power of love, and Marnie in her memory has become Marnie in her heart.
Lonely person, do you also have Marnie in your heart?
