I just want to look up to My Neighbor Totoro side by side with you

For the 82-minute movie, 40 minutes have passed. My Neighbor Totoro only appeared for less than one-tenth. I was a little anxious. Mr. Miyazaki was really patient. After so long, the bizarre scene in anticipation has not yet appeared. What does the old man want to talk about?

When the movie is played to the last minute, the answer from the bottom of my heart has completely surfaced, flashing in the sky: Never discard the kindness and innocence in my heart.

As a metaphor of beautiful things, Totoro can only be seen by the pure and innocent and innocent Satsuki and Xiaomei, while the same kind father can only vaguely feel the existence of Totoro. Other villagers turned a blind eye to the big Totoro bus passing by, as if it was a strong wind.

When Xiaomei first saw My Neighbor Totoro, My Neighbor Totoro was afraid of Xiaomei, so it was transparent. Later, it was discovered that Xiaomei was not malicious and then gradually revealed her real body. Master Gong is full of metaphors in every detail of the design, as well as a profound and sharp insight into human society. When Xiaomei ran into the tree hole with the little Totoro, she fell on the huge belly of the Totoro for the first time. She was not panicked and full of self-protective hostility like an adult, but stroking the Totoro’s nose with joy, and the Totoro roared. She is not afraid of ordinary yawns. I think this is because they have the same kind and innocent parents.

When my father heard that this was a haunted house for the first time, he happily said to the sisters hahaha, I have liked haunted houses since I was a child, hahaha. And I heard that after the sisters met the legendary Totoro in the fairy tale book, they did not ridicule or scold, but understood and encouraged them. They even followed Xiaoyue and Xiaomei into the tree hole. After seeing the huge camphor tree, they took it with them. Sisters worship the gods devoutly together! And tell the sisters that it is because of this huge tree that they like this dilapidated wooden house in the country. There is no adult self-righteousness, but full of humility and innocence!

There are many details. For example, when my dad who was writing at the desk seemed to hear outside, Xiaomei, Xiaoyue and My Neighbor Totoro were sitting side by side in the moon-shrouded treetop, blowing the xun together, and smiled sharply. When my father went to the hospital to visit his mother, the mother said that she seemed to see Yunsong outside. Xiaoyue and Xiaomei were sitting on it and looking at them, while father picked up the corn outside the window and said that maybe they had actually been here and saw the corn. The words engraved on it.

What a fortunate and happy thing to have kind, humble, innocent and peaceful parents! ! !

Fortunately, I have such parents, but my dad is inferior to my mom, and his enthusiasm for life is not as high as my mom. For example, I have never been curious about computers and the Internet, and my mom can already search Taobao proficiently. , Searched for weaving videos, and even used QQ for video chat with my aunt. You must know that my mother used to be a digital blind who could not even call 10086 to check her phone bill. They have maintained humility and peace for decades, have never had a conflict with their neighbors and relatives, and have always believed that suffering is a blessing. Although there are still many unsatisfactory things in life, the life is still very tight, or it is called poverty, and small conflicts and disputes may occur due to the relationship between firewood, rice, oil and salt, but I am very fortunate that they still have enthusiasm and goodwill for life, and they are willing to use Finding innocence and happiness in my own way. My dad tried hard to practice "Demolition of the East Wall", while my mother wanted to learn to sing "Chinese" and also wanted to learn street dance. To have such parents, I think it is the greatest luck and wealth for children.

But unfortunately, I have found that in recent years, I am slowly losing the power of kindness and innocence, or that this power is hidden deeper and deeper. It is replaced by more time of indifference, isolation and numbness.

The average person has four states: sad, numb, happy and indifferent. Most people are often in a state of numbness, a small number of people are frowning every day, and a very small number of people can always be happy. Only monks who are monks can be indifferent.

I used to be happy easily, but after work, especially after constantly experiencing setbacks and constantly trying and failing, when your family gradually loses confidence in you, when your friends are gradually moving away from you, when you feel that the kindness you paid Without a response, even cynicism, or even contempt and disdain, you will slowly become numb and protect yourself with a hard shell. With this hard shell blocking, you no longer believe in the beauty of human nature, you are no longer easily moved, you lose your curiosity, you lose your imagination, and you laugh at those innocent little romances like most people, thinking that it is With immature and childish behaviors, you will never see the existence of Totoro anymore. Even if you believe in the existence of Totoro, you think evilly about how much money will you make if you catch it and perform it? You are caught in your heart by greed, and you are full of hostility towards the world, although this hostility originally originated from self-protection! !

You kill your kindness and innocence first, and then resent that the world has lost its beauty, full of rancidity and evil.

I almost stepped into this endless loop, but fortunately, I fell on the huge belly of My Neighbor Totoro at this time.

How do we get rid of the torture and stress of life? One depends on art, and the other depends on love!

When you feel that your body is full of negative energy, take pictures, draw pictures, listen to music, read a novel, or watch a movie! ! Being able to maintain innocence and kindness in negative energy is the source of all great art! ! Deaf Beethoven, Van Gogh who fell in the wheat field, Tolstoy who broke with the noble family, how many great figures are worthy of our worship and learning. Don't be awakened by the shadow of negative energy to the evil in your heart, let alone impose this evil on others, work hard to turn grief into strength, and learn to vent and express it reasonably! !

Of course, compared to art, we hope to be saved by love! !

Some people say that it is not difficult to encounter love, nor is it difficult to encounter sex. The most difficult thing is to encounter understanding. How I wish to have such a girl, a girl who likes Totoro, a girl who agrees with all the nonsense above me, when she saw Xiaomei falling on Totoro’s belly, she was as frightened as I was, and she found that Xiaomei was not afraid of Totoro again. Like me, admiration and surprise. When she saw Satsuki handing the umbrella to My Neighbor Totoro, and they stood side by side in the rain, the softest part of her heart was touched by such kindness and beauty. When she saw My Neighbor Totoro helping Satsuki and Xiaomei under the stars, making the oak tree grow into a towering tree quickly, when Hisaishi Joe’s "Wind no とおり道" sounded, both of you and I were filled with indescribable excitement. , There seems to be a strong wind in my heart! !

I only hope to find a girl like this, who is willing to look up at Totoro with me, sitting on the treetops under the moonlit night together, blowing the xun gently, as long as we have each other, we will never be afraid of anything! !
