When a person is young, it is easy to naturally like a person and be liked by others.
Stepping into the clutter of society and falling in love with someone has become a difficult thing.
Before we know it, we also become less attractive than we used to be.
Do not know since when, we are no longer the core of the world.
Our circles have gotten smaller, we have fewer friends, and we have become more average.
But we can't let go of the past, and we are also afraid of the unknown front.... What's more afraid is to break our own shackles and make choices about change.
And just like that, all of a sudden, we lose our true selves.
At this time, it is easier to miss the past and recall the past.
Today I recommend an animated film about memories - "The Fairy Tale of Time" .
The film "A Fairy Tale of Time" is full of childhood flavors, and the protagonist has always grown up with a sensitive and delicate heart.
After watching this movie, it may make you dare to face your heart and face the choices of life calmly.
Some commentators said: "It was an era when eating pineapples would be considered a topic of conversation." A true masterpiece, accurate depiction of the girl's mood, clever handling of the timeline... The watercolor style is amazing.
"The Fairy Tale of the Years" is the most adult work in Studio Ghibli , and it is also the favorite of many people. It is a masterpiece that is easily overlooked.
But I think that at the same time, this film is also picky about the audience, and people with certain life experience will have a deeper feeling when watching this film.
The film tells the story of Taeko, a 27-year-old office worker from Tokyo, who took a leave of absence to go to the countryside. During this period, he farmed with the villagers and kept reminiscing about his childhood. He gradually understood himself and found the true meaning of life.
Everyone's childhood is bright and sad, and Taeko is no exception.
The mutual company of companions is full of laughter and laughter;
But also tormented by how to deal with the dishes that they don't like;
The family once sat around and sat together because they ate pineapple together for the first time;
He was also "beaten" by his mother and sisters because of his poor mathematics;
The pure and incomparably pure love is beginning to open, so that the daily life is full of infinite joy;
The male classmates who don't understand their strange behavior will also puzzle themselves for many years;
The surprise of the first outing;
The embarrassment of coming to the aunt for the first time;
The seriousness of the first time into the performance;
For the first time, I have the tangle of wanting to see but not wanting to see when I like someone...
The current Taeko is no longer the little girl who follows her mother on the street and imitates the singing gestures of the characters in the play because of her dissatisfaction with her mother to vent her displeasure.
Compared to the liveliness and cuteness of her childhood, the adult Taeko looks too ordinary, like ordinary you and me. Facing the hesitations of life, she dare not choose, and she is powerless.
So those childhood days full of warmth or trouble sneak out and bond with the current Taeko.
It is also because Taeko has grown up by recollecting it again and again, sharing it with others and getting a sincere response.
It turned out that A Pei, a boy classmate when he was a child , didn't shake hands with her because he liked her .
It turned out that every "radical" behavior was just deliberately done out of cowardice and overwhelm and trying to get her attention.
Thanks to Taeko, who didn't understand this at the time, and because of his guilt for A Pei, he kept imitating the actions of A Pei putting his hands in his pockets and spitting around, just to make himself no longer hate himself at that time.
"rainy, cloudy, sunny which weather do you like best?"
Everyone loves this hesitant and very simple confession line.
It is precisely because we have all had similar emotions: facing the person we like, because we do not know each other, and because we are timid and shy, the words we blurt out seem to turn and become implicit.
So one sentence: If you like you outright, it will become this kind of multiple-choice question. It seems that this will also help you understand the other person a little more.
"Yin, cloudy..."
"Me too!"
A short and simple conversation is the truest bud of love.
It seems that from this moment on, he and her have one more thing in common and one more understanding.
Like, he and she just completed a kind of induction, and the two of them formed a connection invisibly.
At this moment, they were so happy with each other that they flew into the sky unconsciously, surrounded by white clouds, and the whole person stretched and relaxed like a free bird.
The emotional connection and the happy feeling of physical and mental pleasure established at this moment will gently dip into their hearts and stay quietly in their bodies. Even after many years, I have never forgotten it, and once I remember it, I will still laugh secretly.
As some people say: the most exciting thing in this world is really the distant similarity.
These seemingly light and tiny moments of happiness are the hardest to forget.
And it has been urging us to stay soft and kind.
The short vacation is coming to an end. Taeko also ushered in his own life choice.
Is it to accept Minxiong's marriage and live the simple country life that he likes?
Or go back to the urban life circle where there are as many choices and confusions?
This time Taeko was still unable to decide, so he had to get on the train back to the city first.
Suddenly, the butterfly flew into the carriage, and the childhood classmates also appeared in groups one by one, and the past came up like a tide.
Then, Taeko was pulled by his childhood classmates, got off the return car, turned around and boarded the train back home, and threw himself into the arms of the countryside without hesitation...
In the end, surrounded by everyone, he came to Minxiong's side.
It seems that there will be more memories with Minxiong in the future.
Taeko's choice reminds me of the daughter played by Setsuko Nakahara in Ozu 's movie "Mai Qiu" about her choice for marriage.
The same is the face of sudden marriage, but their choice is the same unusual and certain.
Everyone has their own choices, not necessarily like most people, just be loyal to their own hearts.
Compared with those gorgeous outward appearances, it is more important to choose people who you trust and who can be your true self in front of him at any time.
In fact, Minxiong is also a funny man, really cute.
Every time I say big things in a serious way, and then I admit it with a smile.
I like his philosophy of life very much: always hold such a positive attitude if you fail today and tomorrow, do not give up hope easily, and bravely welcome each day.
Everything in the past is a prologue.
Those indelible sorrows in our memory will bring us some troubles, but maybe they are echoing the answers to some questions in our life.
Those little moments of happiness, inadvertently leaving traces of life, will also help us grow into a better version of ourselves.
In the insipid, immersing people's hearts, Takahata Xun once again shocked us.
Insipidity also contains infinite happiness. May you and I be simple and prosperous in the peaceful years .
