Hayao Miyazaki belongs to the kind of person who has his own colorful world in his heart, and wants to show it to others and tell others to listen to it. He likes his unconstrained world very much. His "Nausicaa" and "Princess Mononoke", both in terms of artistic achievement and commercial value, have been hugely successful. In fact, these few have already let the old man say everything he wants to say. The story, his creative desire and energy are not as good as before. This should have been a perfect ending, but because there are no successors and new films are losing money, he keeps coming back and retreating. After "Princess Mononoke," Ghibli The proportion of adaptations of the works began to grow larger and larger. After "Spirited Away", "Howl" was born. There is also a small episode here. The original supervisor for the production of "Howl's Moving Castle" was Hosoda Mamoru. Later, the cooperation was terminated due to various contradictions. However, it still had a great impact on Hosoda Mamoru to a certain extent, and it was once in a state of failure. Adaptation is the same as original creation. It also requires talent. You have to eat the original work, decompose it, reconstitute it, and then come up with your own understanding. Literary adaptation has never been difficult. The current "Howl's Moving Castle" largely borrows the setting and framework of the original book, and is essentially a beautiful love song sung for his mother by the son of the Oedipus plot. 【Hayao Miyazaki himself confessed in the interview that he has a special affection for his mother Miko Miyazaki. For this affection, he keeps letting his deceased mother come alive in his works, sometimes as a lovely girl, sometimes as a strong woman, and sometimes as a kind old man. He constantly substitutes himself into his works, sometimes as a child, sometimes as a teenager. From the above two projections of Miyazaki on his mother, it can be concluded that Miyazaki’s deep feelings for his mother can be attributed to two types: 1. The child's attachment to the mother (mother-child relationship). 2. Men's love and appreciation for women (male-female relationship). In his works, there are a large number of teenage heroines and middle-aged and elderly female characters that more or less allude to his mother image. We can see that although the ages of these characters are not all the same, they all bear the shadow of the same person. 】 Many people will be very strange the first time they watch it, There are many setting dramas without direct explanations, so it is difficult to understand the plot at first glance. For example, what happened to the contract between Kalusifah and Hal, although there was a reappearance when Sophie returned to the past, and the poem that the wasteland witch put in Sophie’s pocket before has some hints, all of this needs After finishing the novel, the explanation can be obtained. Another example is why after Sophie was cast by the Wild Witch, why was she young and old again? We can guess that this is based on the change of Sophie's mentality, and the body state also changed. This explanation seems to make sense, but it needs to be explained that this setting is also not in the original book. ["What kind of woman was the mother during her lifetime". Hayao Miyazaki: "I want to be nice to you in my heart, but the words on my lips are very strict, a typical knife mouth tofu heart." (While struggling to set the final climax of the work, unable to do anything, when he collapsed on the ground and received a massage) "I always feel that I can see each other again. I really want to see my mother who was the cutest when she was young." "...If I live to be a hundred years old now...I don't want to talk to this mother now, I want to be the same age. Talk to her."] Now think about it carefully, this may be an arrangement specially made by Gong Lao. Sophie is both a reliable and strong mother, and sometimes a fragile and timid girl. And this arrangement is more in line with the audience's perception. (=.=Do you really want to see an 80-90-year-old old lady Sophie flirting with Hal?) More than 20 years after his mother died, Gong Lao could express this feeling in his works It appears almost directly. Originally, he was very obscure, distributing the image of his mother on the various female characters appearing in the film. For Sophie, who can have a mother's young and aging form co-exist, perhaps Gong Lao himself has been waiting for a long time. The changes on Hal are even more numerous. Gong Lao poured a lot of his own feelings and ideas into Hal, novels and animations are almost two people. In the original work, Hal is more frivolous, vain, and childish. He is sometimes impatient with Sophie, and a little bit mean. He is a very real person, so the two of them get along with each other almost like a lover, noisy all day long. There is nothing left to play. And the reason why Hal in the novel lives alone is that he is a modern man from the 21st century, so he seems so incompatible with the people around him. [Hal gave her a blank look again. "You're here again. You love being a slave, don't you?" He clamped the broken place between the fingers of his right hand, pulled it over, and when he let go, the broken place was completely invisible. "Look," he said, "do you understand? "" He (Mike) said, "Do you know how much trouble Hal has caused us to fall in love with? We have been accused, chased by the opponent's suitor, and the mother with the noodle stick. Father and uncle with sticks. Yes, there are aunts. The aunts are the most terrible. They chase after them with hat pins. But the worst thing is that when the girl found Hal’s place, she came to the door to cry and cry, Hal again The back door slipped away, but I left Cassifah and I here to clean up the mess." "Hal’s relationship is very fickle," Cassifah said: "As soon as the other person fell in love with him, his relationship ended, and he never wanted to Have anything to do with the other party." "But he couldn't settle down before the other party fell in love with him." Michael said eagerly, "He will become unreasonable. I always pray that the girl will fall in love with him. He, so things can return to normal." When he appeared again, he was already neatly dressed. This was the third time that day, so Sophie didn't care about it at first. But then, he put on the velvet cloak that Michael had worn, and turned into a pale, coughing red beard, wiping his nose with a red handkerchief in his hand. Then she knew that he was going to go out, and couldn't help saying: "This way the cold will get worse." "I will die, and then each of you will feel sorry." The red beard man said. Then turn the doorknob to green down and go out. 】 Maybe because of the audience’s tastes or Miyazaki’s own dislike of the image of Hal in the original work, he made such a big change. For example, Hal’s first appearance, hitting up a conversation, and the frivolous soldier image that scared Sophie was Hal’s original way of appearing, so the unusually dreamy aerial dance was all adapted... in the animation. You are affectionate and protect Sophie like a prince. He is a gentleman with a sense of mystery and a sense of responsibility. The only dissonance in the whole play is that Hal's temper tantrum. Hal, who usually looks mature and stable, was furious after his hair was dyed, yelled at Sophie, and summoned the dark elf, releasing a lot of green slime. Although this is the plot in the original book, the expressions are not the same. In the original book, Hal loses his temper because he is unable to pursue a girl he likes and makes use of the topic. In the animation, does Hal look like an adolescent boy here, because of a little bit of trouble with his mother, Sophie sends warm milk to Hal in the back, and the plot when they chat seems to reveal a kind of plot. The warmth of parent-child relationship. Another thing that makes people care about is that when Sophie was summoned by the king and replaced Hal to meet Hal’s teacher Su Liman, Su Liman was there. After several conversations with Sophie, Su Liman saw everything through and said meaningfully to Sophie, "Did you fall in love with your son..." The hint here shouldn't be too obvious. [Jiang Fangzhou wrote Hayao Miyazaki's article "Let's Live with You Who Can’t Forgive Mankind" in "New Weekly", quoting Graham Green’s words, "Artists are funeral and interment companies, and they are suffering from suffering over and over again. Embarrassment, despair, and trauma are buried; then dig out, then bury". In order to miss his mother, Hayao Miyazaki constantly makes his mother come alive in his works, become a girl, become a woman, become an old woman, sometimes healthy, sometimes sick. And he himself constantly enters the work, becoming a child, a teenager, sometimes acting like a baby, sometimes protecting. He constantly achieves dreams in the animation that he can never achieve in reality. Many artists have been talking about one thing throughout their lives. Just as the image of Stephen Chow smiling and crying in the movie is always himself, the protagonist of Hayao Miyazaki's work may only have two people, one is himself and the other is his mother. Sometimes he himself is a child, he needs to grow up, he needs company, and he needs love. He is sometimes a teenager, and needs dreams, love, and defense. He is Xiaomei playing in the mountains and forests, Kiki running away from home, Chihiro looking for herself, brave Bass, firm Ashitaka, kind-hearted Zongsuke, and firm Tianze Shengji, chasing The dreamy Horikoshi Jiro... His mother is sometimes a girl, kind, strong, and independent. His mother was also sometimes a woman, tough, domineering, and persistent. His mother was sometimes an old woman, with a knife-mouthed, tofu heart, and impatient. His mother is the straightforward and tough Dora, the sick but gentle little Mei, the strong Ebbsey, the weird and kind mother-in-law Chen, the disgusting and kind-faced mother-in-law Qian, and his mother is the gentle and persistent Sida, who died of illness. Nahoko, the maternal and tolerant Nausicaa, the strong and kind-hearted Shan, the tough and caring Sophie...] Hal and Sophie are the most exposed projections of the palace elders and their mothers. Sophie has almost gathered most of the traits of all the palace elder mothers, straight-hearted, energetic, strong, and kind-hearted. She changed two hairstyles, from long braid to short hair, which is also the designated hairstyle for the main female characters in the play. Howl's pursuit of magic is very similar to Horikoshi Jiro's love of airplanes in "The Wind Rises". They don't do it for others, but for themselves. In the eyes of others, they are very selfish and even scary. Wandering freely, living in no fixed place, struggling for the one I love, loneliness when I was young. If the mother gave Gong Lao an eternal memory, then what he got from his father was an airplane.
