Halfway through, I suddenly thought, why are the powerful people in Miyazaki's animations all girls.
In Hall's Moving Castle,
Mei and sister in Totoro, a girl who sometimes turns into an old woman,
Spirited Away, Reid, Chihiro,
and even in Ponyo, the little Ponyo is also very powerful, the
witch in the delivery service.
The heroine is just like a child. She can swing a knife and cut things from the beginning, gliding to save the teacher, let the big bug return to the forest, and save the princess of another country. When bitten by a fox and mouse, she is calm and not afraid, the king Killed ferociously when he was killed, and then told himself to calm down.
Later, when the war came, and on the way to being taken as a hostage to another place, because he was attacked by other people, he saved another princess.
Later, when I rescued the boy and was stroking the ground under the desert and weeping happily, I was thinking, it was a girl, a weak girl brought such power, for example, in Hall's moving castle, he took the castle away with a kiss and saved him The girls of the Scarecrow Prince——It is not so much that girls have power, it is better to say that because of their natural tenderness, sympathy and love, as well as their courage and wisdom, they are so powerful, and they also bring strength to others, to other individuals or their countries.
Yes, it is such love and tenderness and wisdom, and self-control and compassion for others.
