. "Background Introduction" part of
the key - in "Millennium Actress", this key was given to Chiyoko by the mysterious man (Kan of Key) who accidentally knocked down Chiyoko and fell in love with her at first sight. This key has been running through the story of "Millennium Actress" main line. "The King of Keys" tells Chiyoko that this is "the key to unlock important things". In the following decades, Chiyoko kept this key and looked for the "Key King" who had a glimpse of the past, and she also kept her hope of not getting married. Chiyoko lost the key during a shoot, and it was found and hidden by actor Eiko, who had always been jealous of Chiyoko, after which Chiyoko got married. However, after the marriage, the key was found by Chiyoko inexplicably, so Chiyoko's hope of finding the "King of Keys" was resurrected. But at the end of the story, it was not explained what the key was used to open, and the "King of Keys" did not appear again. But Chiyoko has always believed that she can find the lover of the year, and her fantasy has never been shattered...
In the later stage of the story, in Genya Tachibana's memory, this key was lost by Chiyoko again in an accident when the studio collapsed, and Tachibana found it. The key was returned to the 75-year-old Chiyoko during the interview.
Snow - Chiyoko is knocked to the ground by Kenji on a snowy day, and the whole story comes after that. In a filming many years later, she was knocked to the ground just like in the past, and it all happened again! But "The King of Keys" only left her with one sentence: "See you at the agreed place!" After that, there was no news for decades. Another important scene related to snow is in the imagination of "Kun of Key" and Chiyoko: "Kun of Key" stood in the snow and painted, Chiyoko said to him, "It feels so good to stand in the snow. , like floating in the air!". In addition, after receiving a letter from the trustee of "The King of Keys" (he was no longer alive at this time), it snowed on the day Chiyoko rushed back to her hometown like a madman overnight. The reason why this important day is set as Xue Tian in the film is probably for Chiyoko's mood, Xue Tian left behind her beautiful moment, entrusting her "past" and "missing".
Earthquake - There is an earthquake at the beginning of the film. Tachibana also had an earthquake when he first interviewed Chiyoko, and Chiyoko said, "The earthquake occurred when I was born, and my whole life is inseparable from the earthquake." This happened in Chiyoko. The earthquake at birth was the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. In addition, the aforementioned studio collapse accident was caused by the earthquake. Japan is a country prone to earthquakes. More than 20% of the earthquakes with a magnitude of 6 or higher in the world occurred in Japan. However, in this film, the earthquake did not become the main clue. Maybe it was just a small detail designed for the continuity of the film. Bar.
Lotus - In the film, Tachibana also handed Chiyoko's business card with the "LOTUS" (lotus) mark on it, and Chiyoko introduced Tachibana to the lotus planted in her backyard. Chiyoko said that the flower language of lotus has the meaning of "purity", which is a hidden meaning of the screenwriter. The beauty of the story of "Millennium Actress" lies in the purity and innocence of Chiyoko's girlhood. This pure desire and mood has been tested for decades.
Lotus is very much loved in China, because she comes out of the mud and is not stained, which represents the character of "innocence", firmness and "nobleness". If you think about it carefully, Chiyoko really has a lotus-like quality!
Full Moon - Su Dongpo's "Shui Diao Song Head" has a sentence "Turn Zhuge, low Qihu, according to no sleep, there should be no hatred, what is long and round when it is different." It is a sigh of why the moon is always when people are parting. Extraordinarily round, the full moon in the poems of the old friend always refers to the word "separation". In a scene in this film, Chiyoko mentioned the extraordinarily round moon outside the window in the chat with the "King of Keys", but she was very strange: "The moon is so round, but today is the 14th!", "King of Keys" "Answered her: "Although the moon on the 15th is the roundest, I prefer today's moon...". On the second day, the 15th, Chiyoko missed the train that Kenji took by one step. The two have been separated for decades, and the moon on this day is extraordinarily round... The
picture clip - "The King of Keys" is A painter, "The King of Keys" said this when the two of them first talked. And the scene of standing in the snow and painting the snow scene with "The King of Keys" has always been Chiyoko's dream, and the picture clip is the pronoun of the best memory she keeps in her heart. The clips in the previous fantasies had the "King of Keys" painting, and the most obvious occurrence of the clips was when Chiyoko was playing an astronaut, there was a clip on the mound of the "Moon of the White Land", but it should have been The "King of Keys" next to the clip is in the painting, the white snow is illuminated red by the setting sun, and "King of Keys" waved to Chiyoko, "don't take away a cloud", leaving behind a heartbroken Chiyoko.
Mole - The black mole under the corner of the left eye is Chiyoko's most obvious feature. It has been there since she was born. Not only did this mole not make her look ugly, but it made Chiyoko more beautiful. In the anime works, there are women with black moles under the left corner of their eyes, as well as Ritsuko Akagi in "Evangelion", Sumire Kanzaki in "Sakura Wars", etc. The moles in this position seem to have a magical embellishment effect! But Ryoji Kaji in "Evangelion" said that a woman with a mole under the corner of her left eye is destined to cry her whole life. I don't know if Chiyoko can be considered "to cry all her life". From her search for the "King of Keys", it seems that she is restricted by fate, so she is not happy all her life, but Yongzi, who is jealous of her, said, "It's almost 40. It's all because he's still waiting for a man!" From this point of view, "The King of Keys" is also where Chiyoko's happiness lies in his life!
Universe - The beginning and end of the film are vast cosmic scenes. At the end of the story, Chiyoko passed away, but the film does not directly depict the scene of her dying, but a metaphor of a rocket flying into the universe. Got it, but this ending dilutes the sadness of the ending. Chiyoko may be able to see the reunion of the people she has been searching for for more than 59 years. The rocket flies toward the universe dotted with countless stars, toward eternity, leaving the audience with endless thoughts.
Agreed-Agreement, is probably the most important word to support this film, right? This shocking word, which was interpreted in "Saint Biography", has another interpretation in "Millennium Actress". Chiyoko's agreement with the "King of Keys", Chiyoko has abided by for 59 years, and she has never forgotten him in her life, but "King of Keys" did not obey the agreement and left in a hurry, which is the biggest regret left to the audience by this film. Love is often imperfect, so "promise" may become synonymous with "beauty of imperfection" in this film.
Millennium - that's the word that appears in the title, and it's an enigmatic word. What does "Millennium" in "Millennium Actress" mean? Maybe it's because of the name "Chiyoko". Although Chiyoko waited for the "King of Keys" for not as long as a thousand years, the fact is cruel, maybe they really can't meet again, a thousand years means eternity. But Chiyoko's mood may be like the lyrics, "Wait for a thousand years, I have no regrets!"
There is also an interesting phenomenon. At the same time as "Millennium Actress", she won the animation department of the 5th Media Arts Festival of the Agency for Cultural Affairs in 2001. The work "Spirited Away" is also related to the word "Thousand". Does it have any special meaning?
