how do i love you

In an old house that is almost isolated from the world, a frail but clear-eyed boy is waiting for an operation that will prolong or end his life early. His heart is too weak, he can't exercise vigorously, just run a few steps, he will be very hard, he can't even beat a crow.

How does he want to love the world? In the human world, there is only one fat old lady who takes care of him in daily life but also supervises him. When there are no outsiders, she is the master. She could lock him in the room as long as she wanted, or if she thought she needed to, thereby depriving him of his freedom. When foreign invaders might harm his interests, it was the old lady who rushed out to protect him. It is her responsibility to protect him. She doesn't really need his love.

What about underground? There is a colorfully painted world underground, where there is a family that is warm and beautiful, longing for the sea. From humans to insect critters, from kind gifts to ferocious attacks, these are the potential dangers that family faces every day. The pressure of survival makes them have to rely on the small leftovers in human life, which makes them sensitive, doubtful, and finally choose to escape when they receive love.

That weak and lonely boy, who has inherited the kindness of generations, carefully loves the world of this villain, calms her down when she is frightened, sends her back the lost candy, sends her flowers, and saves her from the crow. Get off her, save her mother from the old lady... But every time he expresses love, it will cause mental distress and actual danger to the family, candy bars, kitchen... You love them and want to give them better For them, it was almost an earthquake, and it almost caused a permanent separation of flesh and blood.

A fat cat that was once hostile can also be a messenger of friendship. However, two different worlds are destined to separate after a brief encounter. Even, Tu fais partie de mon coeur. The ending is sentimental, and perhaps one will complain about the lack of information. However, a story that can't be called love, tells love in a simple and pure way, isn't it?

How do I love you.

The Secret World of Arrietty quotes

  • Arietty: I have to go. When is your operation?

    Shô: The day after tomorrow. I'm going to be okay. You gave me the courage to live.

    Arietty: [Unclipping the pin from her hair & giving it to Shawn] For luck.

    Shô: Thanks.

    Arietty: [Now crying] You protected me after all.

    Shô: Arrietty...

    Arietty: I hope you have the best life ever. Goodbye.

    Shô: Arrietty, you're a part of me now. I'll never forget you, ever.

    [North American version]

    Shawn: I never saw her again. But the following summer I returned and was happy to hear the people in the house down the road talking about how many things in their home had gone missing.
