After watching the movie, I didn't notice whether the song actually appeared in the movie or not, but I still shed tears as I remember such a lovely movie.
Without the tragic ending of the traditional "Little Mermaid" story, Ponyo's mother Poseidon asked, "Are you willing to give up magic and give up your identity as a princess to become an ordinary person with Sousuke? If Sousuke changes his mind, you will become a bubble. ~", the little mermaid princess who likes to eat ham and wear a little red tutu skirt will jump up and down firmly and say, "Ponyo wants to become a human and wants to be with Sosuke!"
I think everyone I really want to believe in such beauty. I would rather believe that 5-year-old Sosuke will take Xiao Po Niu's hand and take good care of her until she is 85 years old. From now on, she will never give Po Niu a chance to become a bubble. Of course we believe so when watching the movie, that home on the cliff, that water-colored sea, those grandmothers who were cured by the sea god and who also liked Ponyo, that little tsunami caused by Ponyo's desperate attempt to find Sousuke again, That group of Ponyo's cute little sisters... everything is so innocent, who would be willing to criticize "all this is fake" after reading such a beautiful story?
But...but...who among us would take ourselves as a bet to believe in one thing and one thing? Probably when we were at Sousuke and Ponyo's age, we really did, because we don't know the world and just simply believed that "TA will", then in our hearts we "definitely will", until one day, we found that we had been guessing all the time. Standing on the cliff with this kind of dream, you may have already fallen, only to realize that the innocence in your arms was actually the culprit that pushed him to the cliff. "It turns out that this kind of innocence is so stupid..." Probably everyone has had such an idea. It may be their own experience, or they may have seen others experience it. And these seemingly perfect "he and she lived happily ever after" stories are "beautiful" precisely because they have no ending.
I thought of the heroine in "About the Rainy Season" again. I went to the future after my death. I knew that if I married Qiao and gave birth to a lovely son, I would die at the age of 28. I can obviously change my life. Destiny still pursues the short-lived happiness that already knows the ending; I think of "City of Angels", Seth fell from a height and gave up the eternal life of an angel, just to experience the feelings and love of ordinary people... Goldfish Princess Bo Niu is the same as the protagonists in these stories. Everyone is envious of their courage and the happiness they get after giving, but when it comes to themselves, they have to hesitate and fear.
Back to my original intention, I have to mention the "Waltz of the House of Sunflowers".
If I can walk freely again, I
can't wait to clean the room, do the laundry, cook, go out for a walk
, and I will smile happily even if it
is raining.
Such a day has not yet come, I can only move forward little by little,
just want to dance again, just like that breeze...
In the lyrics, Boniu's little wish is simple, but cute. I always feel that it has the artistic conception of "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blossom". When I wrote it, I suddenly found that the hut on the cliff of Zongsuke's house was not also facing the sea, and the surrounding spring was warm. Are the flowers blooming? Smile for my little association and change the title of this film review from "Lost Beauty" to what it is now.
Sometimes, our little wishes are like this, very common and pure, but it is difficult to realize them without distractions, and it is difficult to convince ourselves to let go 100% and believe 100%...
If there is someone who is like you desire, willing to make the same bet as you, as much as you desire innocence and eternity, would you believe it all to love? Are you willing to pursue simple and beautiful little happiness? Standing side by side on the edge of a cliff with your lover with this dream in mind? That seemingly easy "I do" actually contains how much courage.
Probably in the bottom of everyone's heart, there is a sea like this. You also want to change from a small fish to a human being. Even if you take the risk of becoming a bubble, you want to experience the happiness of being with your lover. It depends on whether you dare or not. See if you meet someone worthwhile.
May you regain the lost beauty in your heart, and may you have the courage to "be a happy person from tomorrow..."
