The more trivial the greater

I've been very thirsty this month, and I've watched a lot of Oscars, basically %¥#×◎ :( I almost don't remember what a good movie is... At this extremely dangerous moment, I found this one and bought it Yue Yu's cartoons finally lived up to my expectations and swept away the bad luck of bad movies. This is the advantage of having "stock"!

"The Yamada-kun next door" actually takes the Yamada family as the protagonist, so it's called The reason is nothing more than to arouse our intimacy, because they are so vivid, like the people and things we have known for a long time. The film consists of small fragments of family life anecdotes, you can think of it as a theatrical version Cherry Marukoko or Crayon Shin-chan. But the magnificent imaginative scenes or the very funny scenes that run through them are the skills that only masters like Takahata Isao have.

The more trivial, the greater.

Takahata Isson this time Contrary to the delicate and meticulous painting style we are familiar with in Grave of the Fireflies and Little Memories, it adopts a very scribbled pencil and light color style, which is a bit like graffiti, but also a bit like drawing in the corner of a textbook The kind of fluttering little animation, the shape is more comical, and it is so handsome that it

looks sloppy, but in fact, the details are not easy at all. For example, when the lights are turned on at home at night, the warm light always melts away. The cold darkness makes one's heart skip a beat; when his

sister Nonoko was lost, the whole family drove frantically on the highway. At a corner, Takahata took a few black lines with a few pencils to draw the dazzling feeling of dazzling sunlight. Come out, master~

The freehand picture of the parents' wedding, in fact, the details are very shocking, supplemented by traditional Japanese aesthetic elements, the huge waves in the style of Ukiyo-e, and the children in the folklore are full of magnificent brilliance;

especially recommended The scene where Mom and Dad grabbed the TV remote control, no one who didn't laugh at the scene has yet appeared.

The whole film is divided into sections by the method of reciting ancient poems. The poet is called "Basho", I don't know if it was made up, I didn't do my homework, and there are many English POP songs interspersed, Takahata Xun himself filled in The Japanese words sound quite similar to the original words, very cute. This is a director who is full of love in his heart. Compared with Jun Miyazaki, I now love his works more and more. As a partner of Ghibli, Jun Miyazaki only appeared in the cast list of this film. The title is the director of Studio Ghibli, which sounds like a kind of police station, hehe ...

I haven't seen such a beautiful thing in a long time, a sunny life on a Saturday afternoon :)
