*Reposting old texts From the perspective of storytelling, this is an atypical post-modern version of the "Holy Grail" story. The girl Chiyoko accidentally rescued a wounded man (underground worker?) in a snowy day. ), the man pursued by the police gave a key to Chiyoko for safekeeping on the occasion of desperation, and told her that he must keep this key. This key will open the most important thing in the world. From then on, to find the man who met by the water, and to return the key to him, to unlock the "most precious thing" in the world, has become the mission of Chiyoko in his life. At first, he looked for the man, just wanting to return the key to him, but as time goes by and the plot progresses, the original intention gradually changes, and the means becomes the goal. The theme of the search is no longer the key but the man, but looking and waiting It becomes infatuation and love. If this is Grimm's fairy tale, of course the ending will be the return of the prince. The girl gave him the key. The two found the treasure. They have lived in seclusion and live a happy life forever. Authentic holy grail stories should be told like this. But the times are different. Modern people have long lost the virginity and innocence of girls. They no longer believe in Prince Charming and the legend of the Holy Grail. Therefore, in this story, many years later, the man has long been in the world. Silently turning into dust in an unknown corner, it means that the key has long expired and become obsolete. It cannot open any door or find anything. The door of the legendary treasure will be closed forever. , And the so-called most important thing symbolized by this key is actually nothing but nothingness. The key, one of the most profound and mysterious symbols in fairy tales and myths, was gradually hollowed out of meaning in Jin Min's story and became a meaningless symbol. There is no prince, no treasure, and the girl’s love, Chiyoko’s lifelong pursuit, has become an empty signifier with no object and no reference, just like what she finally found, but a picture on the white snow of Hokkaido. There is only an empty oil painting with no characters in the background, and the whole story has become a completely non-themed variation. The millennium actresses have produced a series of plot clips that have been vainly searched for patchwork. —— Jin Min used cartoons to be good at interweaving reality and reality, and time and space shuttle performance techniques to tell us that Chiyoko’s pursuit of love, even though she died nine deaths, never regretted, went to poverty, and fell into the sky, was actually just acting. , Trapped his life in the plot he made up and couldn't extricate himself from it. When false is true, it is true and false, but it is outside the scene, someone is loving him silently all the time, the dumb and unapplauded silly in the crew The kid plays, but the millennium actress drank the millennium tea given to her by the witch of Destiny (even that witch was pretending to be jealous of her old actress, and even the cup of millennium tea was just ordinary tea, in other words, it was just A symbol that is falsely named), fascinated by the illusion of love, and the soul hooked away by the key, can he still see the mediocre care and love beyond the plot? Jin Min is indeed different from his predecessor, Hayao Miyazaki. Both Hayao Miyazaki and Jin Min are masters of dreaming, but Miyazaki believes that somewhere in this world, dreams are real and lead to dreams. The path and the door of, the key is really useful. Those boys and girls who have a good heart and innocent can finally use this key to open the door to the secret realm or the city in the sky, and the civets that still have spirituality can always Find their kind in a crowded city, return to the truth, dance and assemble in the moonlight night when everything is silent... Hayao Miyazaki is an old child with a childlike heart and a kind heart. Dream, for Hayao Miyazaki, is a signified, deep, and meaningful symbol, a spectacle world with an independent and complete structure, a world that is lonely outside the world but points to the world and can contrast with the world. The meaning space of mutual reference, and for Jin Min, there is no longer a clear threshold between dreams and the present world, and therefore no more secret passages and portals leading from one world to another (such as "Thousand and The tunnel in "Spirited Away", the eye of the storm in "City in the Sky"), dreams and the world are no longer distinct and dichotomy. In his story, dreams and the world, drama and reality are all amorphous, Blurred, fragmented, fragments that can be pieced together and overlapped at any time, dreams and the world are no longer mirroring and exposing each other on the two levels of ideal and reality, signifier and signified, or two meaning spaces, but in the same space. A messy and bizarre picture is intertwined on a depthless and boundless plane. The dream and reality of the naive Hayao Miyazaki is a deep kaleidoscope, while Jin Min is a skeptical bad boy with rebellious psychology. He demolished the kaleidoscope of dream and reality and turned it into a scattered scattering. Fantastic glorious stained glass sheets. The relationship between Konto and Miyazaki is like the relationship between Derrida and Saussure: For Konto, the relationship between dream and reality is like Derrida's symbol, no longer a signifier (in Saussure's pen) The mutual commitment and agreement between life and death and the old age together with the signifier, but the lonely and noisy signifiers meet by the water, the indulgence and carnival of the spring night, after the sky full of fireworks, nothing is left except a sigh. Correspondingly, Jin Min tried to tell us in this story that love is the greatest referent of modernism (Is love just an invention of modernity? Is there a referent of love in the classical era and the Middle Ages?), this is in modern times The most mysterious and seductive treasure in the eyes of her close friends, and therefore worthy of a lifetime to find, has now become an increasingly hollow symbol, a discarded key that cannot be opened. This huge change seems to have happened overnight, but how did it happen? Perhaps, for humans, this change requires an entire era, while for individuals, it only requires a dream.
