Ghibli's hand-drawn comics must go on!
In fact, pseudo-manga fans like me have been away from anime for many years, and only Ghibli films can make me sit down and watch them honestly. The film is a new work by Ghibli Animation Company in 2010. It has been released in Japan for more than 3 months, but the mainland still has no chance to see the legendary "Elliott who borrowed things". And this discipline film that I watched helplessly, in the film Hayao Miyazaki's grandfather's white hair, I couldn't calm down for a long time...
Miyazaki, 70 years old this year, led Ghibli to contribute "Wind of the Wind" to the animation industry. Valley", "My Neighbor Totoro", "The Witch's Delivery Service", "City in the Sky", "Princess Mononoke", "Spirited Away", "Grave of the Fireflies", "The Fairy Tale of Time", "Ear Listening", "Ponyo on the Cliff", etc. Good work. It can be said that if there is no Miyazaki's work to convey the truth, goodness and beauty to this world, then I will definitely despair...
Ghibli animation production company represents the highest level of production in Japan. They work hard and earnestly, and they are only loved by the world audience. However, Miyazaki Jun, who is very old, must quickly solve the problem of the successor. For newcomers, we are tolerant. Mirin Hiroshi is the successor that Miyazaki focuses on training. In the face of Kondo Yoshifumi's untimely death, Isao Takahata won the box office failure of "My Neighbor Yamada-kun". Gong Lao's choice this time seemed a little cautious.
It may be because of director Hayao Miyazaki's own stubbornness and pursuit of perfection. For the rookie director who has been promoted several times in the past, Miyazaki seems a little uneasy. In the case of repeatedly intervening in the production of works, it often happens that they simply take over and shoot by themselves. Compared to the past, this time in "Elliott who borrowed things". Director Miyazaki was determined to let go and never intervene. Except for the script work he was responsible for, he was completely in charge of Hiroshima Mirin, who used to be his assistant animator.
Director Mirin took the lead without the help of Director Miyazaki. Some people question the level of Milin Hongchang, thinking that this is the difficulty of Ghibli. But life is composed of difficulties one after another, and when there are no difficulties, life will end. The crux of the problem is how to overcome it. In fact, for now, what Ghibli lacks is not a master of painting, but a call from the market, a strong director, and a core cohesion. Time will tell Mirin. We have to wait patiently and give Ghibli a chance, as well as ourselves.
In the final scene of the film, Xiang and Elliott say goodbye helplessly. I watched the preview again and again, savoring the last sentence:
"You are a part of my heart..."
"Don't forget me"
is so sincere, so tragic, and unforgettable for a long time... I firmly believe that even if the old man does not Bringing truth, goodness and beauty to the world, even if there is such a day... Ghibli's successors will definitely uphold the purest Miyazaki Hayao.
(Also, the premiere of "Borrowed" happens to be my birthday. It feels amazing!)
