In the remote old house, there lived the only remaining family of three who borrowed things. They were about the size of a human finger. The male and female protagonists are not of the same race. Arrietty is a beautiful 14-year-old Thumbelina, while the male protagonist Xiang is a weak and handsome boy with a heart attack.
Sometimes I think that a fairy tale love story should happen between young handsome men and beauties, so that it can meet people's expectations for beauty. Even today's shoddy movies and TV dramas with plots such as ugly girls turning over are actually all the same. They are much more beautiful than ordinary people, and in fact, they have many stories after they become beautiful. Even if a vulgar man like me wants to write a novel, he probably won't use himself as a prototype to waste the word "beautiful". It's boring to think about, and it's not about Shrek. When I was a child, I longed for such fairy tales. When I grew up and found out that it had nothing to do with myself, I didn’t feel disgusted. I think the pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty is a common instinct of all people. Since we want to shape it, why not pursue the ultimate? Far away from reality, as long as the various emotions in there are real in reality, isn't it alright? So, I say to the girl I like: "I'm not a prince, but I can make you a princess."
Although I am not sure that there is love between Arrietty and Shan, because everyone, including themselves, knows that they are different races and will not have any future and possibility, but I think most people are willing to put the beautiful relationship between men and women. Things are understood as love, and no one is stingy to give all imaginable beautiful words to those pure and illusory feelings. From the first time Arrietty saw Xiang, the blush on her cheeks, and the first time Xiang spoke softly to Arrietty, the fateful separation of life and death was destined to be staged. Even if it is true for a moment, it can be engraved for eternity.
The sugar cubes in the movie are very important props, carrying important tasks and information. As the sugar cubes become less and less, the trust becomes more and more. By the time they officially meet for the first time, it is already two people. The long-awaited heart naturally draws closer. I like the way they look at each other silently, their hearts speeding up, stop time, stop thinking, and that's probably the case for a thousand years. Although the ominous crow appeared and destroyed everything, from the moment you stepped into my hands, I was ready to protect you.
There are also practical considerations in fairy tales. Once the address of the borrower is discovered by humans, they must move. Besides, there are "bad people" in fairy tales. The destruction of the housekeeper A Chun and the mentality of treating villains like mice have all caused the Arrietty family to face. With many dangers, the timely appearance of the little savage Spiller has a certain implied meaning. The appearance of Spiller is a breakthrough in fairy tales. Fortunately, this ordinary person who represents the reality is very cute and cute, and will not be unacceptable.
Separation is inevitable, and this is the most moving part. The long chestnut hair and rose red dress in the wind, the boy in white and the lazy big cat, and the little savage watching from afar. Xiang gave Arrietty a complete sugar cube, and Arrietty left her hairpin to Xiang (I really liked that hairpin when it first appeared, it was actually a clothespin, but why was it on her head? So beautiful, so brilliant). Hold your hand lightly, tears fall, turn to leave, you say: "You are part of my heart, I will not forget you."
The movie returns to reality from a fairy tale. A family of three plus a savage goes down the river. The savage handed Arrietty a bunch of berries, Arrietty took it with a smile, and the director gave us a speechless ending that was probably the best ending. No need to think about it, Xiang probably survived the heart surgery strong, and Arrietty continued the racial incense with Ono. Some people have to forget each other in the rivers and lakes, but they miss it to the point of crying.
I love every item in it (clip, pin, kettle, kitchen) and every character, including the little savage, who represents most of the honest and ordinary men in reality, who has married his beautiful bride, and the bride may Always leave my heart to another prince. I don't know how to evaluate this kind of situation now. Although I think of it a little helpless and pitiful, didn't that little savage stand on the edge of the cliff and watch her part from him? Haven't you witnessed the fairy tale love with your own eyes? Even if it doesn't belong to you, it's enough to convince yourself that there are such beautiful things in this world, isn't it? Because we firmly believe in beauty, it is worth pursuing bravely. Having said that, having the courage to fall in love is love and trust, and having the courage to spend a lifetime together is a kind of greater trust and deeper relationship?
The most admirable love in this world must be those encounters that look beautiful, but on the contrary, the most enviable love in this world is those unpretentious white hair hand in hand, walking together for a long time, You have never been lost, and I have never been far away.
The reason why Ghibli's animations use teenagers as the protagonists is because their simplicity and beauty are enough to support all kinds of emotions required by fairy tales. Only people who are as simple as children deserve to have such clean beauty.
