Many people say that Miyazaki’s first masterpiece should be Spirited Away, but I think Spirited Away’s film is also a masterpiece, but in terms of the harmony between nature and people, this film should be regarded as the first one.
Whether it is imagination, production, or character tension, it is very vivid, even better than some crappy international movie stars. This is the essence left by Hayao Miyazaki's adherence to two-dimensional graphic creation, and more in-depth characterization of the characters, instead of focusing on special effects. I think that the domestic animation is going wrong now, and it is quick and quick. The two-dimensional plot is not well mastered, the characters are so-so, and the 3D technology is not up to it. They are on the road of simply copying the Western plagiarism.
Is there no one of our Chinese cartoons that can be compared with Hayao Miyazaki? Of course there is. Twenty years ago, what you want to say was there. Nezha made trouble in the sea, made trouble in the heaven, heavenly book Qi Tan, and Avanti. But now the big-headed son and the small-headed father...big ears tutu...囧
Miyazaki is a contradictory person. On the one hand, it can be seen from the movie Porco Rosso that he is inseparable from civilization, but from the movie Princess Mononoke In the middle, I see that he hates the destructive destruction of nature by humans.
The unicorn beast, the symbol of nature that gives people survival and hope, fell at the end of the film. The endless desires of mankind forced the forest and nature to regress. The sang and the wolf tribe, who represented fighting for nature, bravely faced human excavation with practical actions, while the conservative but never dared to stand up for the orangutans always act sneakily and fall into trouble when the wolf tribe is frustrated.
Asdakar has been asking why humans can’t live in peace with nature? Even the female head realized that human beings are more terrifying than nature, but she had to destroy nature and kill God.
For a long time before the Meiji Restoration in Japan, whether it was Shinto, Buddhism or Shogunate rule, all creatures had divine nature, and humans were only part of gods, and there was a saying that there are gods when they raise their heads three feet. People's hearts are filled with awe of the gods. But since Western countries opened the door of Japan with a musket, the gods who blessed them no longer appeared.
The Westerners’ muskets defeated the pride and dignity of the Japanese, and brought them endless humiliation and enslavement. The female head is the representative who intends to change this destiny. She abandoned the traditional Japanese idea of male superiority and female inferiority, giving women a place to defend their fortress with muskets. War is the catalyst for women to grow up first. Backward weapons and war-weary men cannot protect them, and women will always be the most direct victims of wars. The weaker the easier, the easier it is to seek stronger protection. So she seeks the protection of modern weapons instead of gods. On the other hand, war has given women more opportunities to realize themselves, participate in the manufacture of deadly weapons or take up weapons to protect themselves, but this may not be their intention.
On the one hand, the endless grabbing of nature will result in nature's revenge on mankind. This is an irreconcilable contradiction.
The slime that the fluorescent giant takes life seems to be a mudslide caused by soil erosion in reality. So fast, it will slow down when encountering water, which is the revenge of nature.
Returning the head of the unicorn beast and dissolving the hatred is the way for man to live in harmony with nature.
The unicorn beast gives life and takes life at the same time, because life comes from nature, so naturally knows when it will pass away. But the wanton behavior of mankind made nature uncontrollable, and the divine power of the natural world that crazily searched for the head couldn't be controlled, so the forest was destroyed and life disappeared. This reminds me of the serious genetic consequences of Japan’s severe industrial pollution in the 1930s and 1980s. For example, the pain caused by the development of industries did not have much impact on Japan’s economy. Generations of Japanese have caused indelible damage to their bodies and spirits, and that kind of pain is an unknown curse that can be passed on from generation to generation, just like the last words of the pig that turned into a demon god at the beginning of the article, "You can’t know what I have "Suffering pain", the Japanese who were chemically polluted at that time would also say the same. They would hate the modern technology that brought them endless suffering. Even if they die, they will die with the development of these technologies. Pigs desperately fighting with humans.
The development of mankind is accompanied by the most natural destruction, which seems to be an inevitable law of primitive accumulation of capital in the process of civilization. Human beings who have nothing to develop rely on resources, but will eventually destroy themselves due to exhaustion of resources. Hayao Miyazaki has discussed this issue in many films, and the most thought-provoking one is the city in the sky. Don't think that the Japanese's caress and garbage sorting are a kind of stingy style of life. Although this will not delay the process of destruction, it will at least delay the final destruction. It's not like we relied on the vast land and abundant resources, the large population, and the wastefulness. How many people eat up nature. When people and nature can’t balance, nature’s back-phasing ability will rush to the face. This is unavoidable.
Fortunately, Miyazaki still wants to give hope to the child. Although he has no bright view of the future, based on tradition, he wants to give future generations hope of survival. People, don’t they live by hope?
The unicorn beast finally failed to restore its original state under the sunlight. It has fallen, which is somewhat imitating the plot of Kuafu chasing the sun. Kuafu is chasing the sun, Qilin Beast is chasing his own head. The same thing is that after Kuafu fell, it turned into a mountain, a peach forest and a lake. After the death of the unicorn beast, it returned all the lives it had sucked back to the forest, creating another beginning.
The beginning of an age without God. Although mankind still needs endless resources to live, through such a disaster, mankind should understand how to live in harmony with nature. From then on, the legend of the gods can only appear in the story. When everything is destroyed, there are survivors, and they will live on. Live in the awe of the gods, live in the awe of life, and live in an unknown world. Every step you take in the future must rely on your own strength to avoid repeating the same mistakes. In this way, giving humans a long memory, the unicorn beasts will not die in vain, and the god beasts will not die in vain.
