This is also natural

Two hours of animation, the keywords in my mind changed one after another. If this isn't a big production with ingenuity, are those movies that rely on big stars and romantic old-fashioned deceptive plots? Not busy, the keywords will come one by one.

Nursery rhyme: The music is given five points, even the spells are so rhymed.

Natural scenery: The painting is very delicate, this is the strong point of Ghibli animation, and it will not be praised repeatedly.

Four images of civet cats: the original image of a civet cat full of animality, a crisp face-like image of a standing little raccoon, and a Q version of the standing image (when the civet cat is fighting, it will change into this style when it is ecstatic or ecstatic. Form), and human forms, appearing in large numbers when the civet cats are practicing disguise, it is very beautiful, especially the 999-year-old elder performing Nasu and the Warriors is the most admirable, quite heroic Song Ci The uninhibited style.

Several main characters: The most favorite is the Six Possess of Fireball, a figure who calms the mind of the army, and is played by women, in line with the consistent style of Ghibli. Kwon Tai is a force-solving faction with a distinct personality. He balances the plot very well. It is not overly reactionary and adds drama. The good thing is that everyone's attitude towards him is a bit perfunctory, but friendly, and when the topic falls apart. Will take the food that is inseparable from human beings perfunctory, very mellow. There is also the love affair of children: Masaki and Ji Jiang, Ji Jiang’s pose is really a lovely episode; Yu Saburo and the sixth generation of Jin Chang’s daughter choose between the quiet life of their children around their knees and fighting for their own clan, this It is a question that everyone will consider.

Gods and Ghosts Folklore Exhibition: Marvel at the ghost culture of Japan, and regret that various splendid folk customs are declining. The charm of farming civilization lies in the respect for nature, and at the same time, in accordance with the law of growth of all things in the four seasons, creating folk art during the slack season. The last part of the ship burial to see off the dead soldiers was very touching.

Humor with tears in laughter: fictionalized a group of happy, funny, united and honest civet cats. The stage of watching TV is fascinating. The means of revenge against human beings are also very creative. Acting in unison is powerful, and winning is full of joy. The spring heart of the mating season is sprouting, and it is simple and yearning. However, it is fictitious after all. This is also a necessary element of all animations. Halfway through, I wondered how such an unrealistic plan of revenge against mankind would end. Fortunately, there were no beautiful illusions and happy endings at the end. It was just a faint, singing the finale of an era.

Gone are the beautiful old days: The duel between humans and civet cats was originally a false proposition. The call to return the forest to nature was made in 1994 when the story was filmed. Now, and thereafter, it is the voice of the minority. Humans have changed the face of the earth, but are humans and nature opposed? The life and reproduction of all things is the original intention of the natural gods. After all, if the age of the earth is compared to one year, our human history only appeared at 6:24 pm on December 31. The current situation is just a creature dominating the face of the earth for a short time. To borrow from Shu Ting's verse, I want to say that this is also natural. The appearance of the mountain forest cannot be returned. The filming of such an animation is rather a kind of remembrance than the appeal of environmentalism, commemorating the once brilliant farming civilization of human society. This can be seen from the paddy fields and the warm and simple country life that appeared in the last illusion.

    From the last illusion, tears began. Very touched, the last song was very cheerful, but it always sounded heavy, and I couldn't stop crying.

    Remember I commented? Why do you have to comment again? The super long animated movie, the raccoons have to live and the foxes have to live so imaginatively~

Pom Poko quotes

  • Ponkichi: If we get rid of all the humans, that means... we'll never eat tempura again! Or beef jerky! Or popcorn.

    Tanuki: Hamburgers! Donuts! Potato chips! Pepperoni pizza! Chicken wings!

    [Gonta is moved by this. His eyes tear and his mouth waters]

    Gonta: I can taste it!

    Seizaemon: So, then, do you think it would be alright if we kept a few humans around, Gonta?

    Gonta: [wiping the saliva from his mouth] We have no choice.

  • Shokichi: Master, would you re-enact the tale of the young samurai who shot the fan?

    Hage: Ah. I'll need some help.

    [He transforms into Nasu no Yoichi. He flies towards the crowd. Gonta's eyes bulge as he realizes that Master Hage is homing in on him. The crowd of tanuki scramble. Master Hage lands on Gonta and clings to his back. The Taka tanuki struggles, then hops around on all fours and turns into a horse. Hage rides around the clearing. Water seems to flood into the clearing, and Master Hage rides Gonta into it. Before them is an image of the sea, and three boats. One of the boats has the image of a woman standing on the bow of the boat and a fan on the top of the mast. Hage draws a bow and shoots the fan, sending it flying into the air]
