Those civet cats that become human lives are ourselves., Reivew on Pom Poko

At the end, the civet cats sang joyous songs, but my nose was sour. "Even if you are far away from where you were born, no matter when you come back you will not be forgotten." We are the transforming civet cats, hiding the most primitive yearning in our hearts, wearing ties or putting on lipstick, and begging for life in a crowded and noisy city. Our social attributes increasingly conceal our natural attributes. Once the civet cat Shokichi takes off the layers of clothing and returns to nature, he can find the first happiness and touch. It's a pity that even if I take off my clothes and rush to the wilderness under the moon, I can no longer find my true companions and me. I can only exist as an exhibitionist.

Nature and the city, as opposing existences, are always topics worth discussing, and they are also quite heavy. Animation should be more suitable for a relaxed content expression, but many of Ghibli's film content is indeed quite heavy, although they still strive to interpret it in a relaxed process. I haven't watched the civet cat because I understand that it is not easy.

After finally watching it, the film was excellent, especially the unexpected imagination, including those strong testicles, and their ever-changing nature, which shocked me deeply. In our society, men are also steadfastly fighting with their testicles, fighting hard with houses, cars and horses, um, very tragic.
