The Rich "Riddles" of Hayao Miyazaki's Animation World

"Laputa: The Castle In The Sky" is a famous representative of Hayao Miyazaki's early animation works, and it is also the pioneering work after the establishment of Studio Ghibli. Although looking at the story itself, it did not deviate from the old-fashioned theme of "saving the world" that often appeared in animation stories at that time, and even retained the shadow of heroism. However, the work's expression of Hayao Miyazaki's own ideological theme did not achieve a strong rendering, but was greatly weakened. This is just the beginning of the display of a high degree of humanistic thought of the "great human beings" who are concerned about the country and the people. The character Rushta in "City in the Sky" said, "I understand why the City in the Sky will decline, because even with high technology, people can't live as long as they are separated from the land." This is a kind of disgust and reflection on people's hearts being gradually swallowed by greed in a highly developed modern society, and it is also a full praise to the earth that gave birth to life and civilization. Hayao Miyazaki pursues his dream with a dream in his works. Everyone in the play is working hard for his dream, whether it is the city in the sky that Bass chases or the treasure in the sleep of those lovely pirates.
If one day above the clear sky, you see a disc-like "black cloud" moving slowly, please don't think it is a UFO, it is the distant "city in the sky" of Rushta; One day you were walking in the forest and saw a furry "weird thing", please don't be afraid, that is Xiaomei playing with the forest owner; if..., it is no exaggeration to say that these beautiful memories will last forever. The "Kurozawa Akira" in the animation industry, Hayao Miyazaki is measuring the world with his unique ideas, and his works will always exude infinite charm and appeal. In the world of animated films he created, there are rich "ridics" that we may never be able to guess clearly, but those warm messages will naturally blend into our hearts. Therefore, let us look forward to the unveiling of the answer to the new Gong's "ridicule".
