Joe Hisaishi and Takeshi Kitano reminded me of Lin Xi and Faye Wong all of a sudden. Someone once said that Lin Xi gave Faye Wong all the best words, so Faye Wong could ascend to the throne of the queen like a god. I forgot how Lin Xi answered. But one constant fact is that it is impossible to argue who made whom. This question is as confusing as the chicken and the egg, don't you think? Even if you pull out a bunch of examples, so what, who care? Monks should still eat eggs, fans should still love Faye Wong, people should still care about Hisaishi Ryo. The legend of the flower armor is actually not a person all the time. What it wants to tell you is "the flowers are given to you, and the armor is given to him".
When I watched this movie, many people said, ah, I seem to have heard this music. Yeah, how can you not hear it. Even if you haven't seen the movie, when you walk on campus, maybe it appears on the radio station; even if you haven't heard it on the radio station, maybe it appears in a cafe on the street; Maybe it didn't show up in a coffee shop, but it lingered on a certain TV station. I think Hisaishi is really successful, and the success makes you want to worship him.
The taste of that summer and childhood:
Takeshi Kitano explained his childhood to you with a story and many pictures, and Joe Hisaishi used the music "summer", "the rain" and so on to convey the cool breeze to you, pulling you away from you infinite past.
Maybe because of the long and lonely way of growing up, you chose a direction that was completely different from your initial imagination; you stumbled and grew up like a headless fly, making you forget the way you came from in the first place; but in any case, one day, you will suddenly wake up : Summer continues, is your childhood still there?
Happiness is on the way, not the destination:
"I watched the top of the mountain climb up, but when I was about to reach the top, the top of the mountain disappeared, what should I do? What should I do? The top of the mountain is gone, and you are standing on the new top of the mountain. This is summer. Meaning." A friend once said. In fact, the initial goal that guided us on the road gradually disappeared, leaving me just for the time with you. Talking about what happiness is, is as far and hard as wanting to go to the end of the world, but before I know it, when I talk to you, I'm already content. As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win but there are countless people in the world. Even if I am not Jinfeng and you are not Yulu, the smell of bed bugs and toads is similar, and it is better than a big-headed fly like you. In fact, happiness is close at hand. It is the things you taught me. This is the summer of the movie called Kikujiro, not the summer of Masao.
In fact, why do you have to know each other when you meet, as long as you meet, it is never too late. Perhaps this is also the summer of Kitano Takeshi and Hisaishi Joe.
PS: A netizen said that listening to Joe Hisaishi's song in "Kiujiro's Summer" twice can escape the summer heat. When I saw it, I smiled knowingly, with the green lotus leaf poster of director Takeshi Kitano, who said it wasn't. Since so many friends have thanked Hisaishi and Kitano Takeshi for giving them a summer of childhood, let me thank them again.
Finally, a knowledge point for those friends who don't know Joe Hisaishi. Do you know Hayao Miyazaki, or have you seen Hayao Miyazaki's cartoons? By the way, the ethereal music such as "City in the Sky", "Spirited Away" and "The Witch's Delivery Service" came from him, Hisaishi Jo.
