But when I think of your mouth, the corners of your mouth will curl up

I'm always a late movie fan. Although I have never been willing to miss the next movie with Miyazaki's signature, it is always one step late. This is a late review for a film released in 2010.
Like the consistent style of Hayao Miyazaki's series, the protagonist is a girl in the cardamom age. It seems that only a young girl who is ignorant of the world or a handsome young man can describe this light and slightly sour story. In terms of character characterization, Studio Ghibli has been adhering to the same taste for decades. I even doubt that the heroines in so many cartoons, their voices, looks, and personalities have not changed. They are always 14 or 5 years old. The clear-eyed girl, if alert to the world, always has a pure heart. In this regard, I have always felt that the Japanese are very contradictory. In the concept of small Japan, the female side is a symbol of obscenity, which makes people love and fear. It seems that only by relying on violence to strangle them on the cross, so the whipping was born. A series of heavy-duty porn such as bundles. On the other hand, it is the most flawless existence, which arouses everyone's yearning for innocence, so there are so many fresh and poetic literary films and Ghibli works.
Pull away.
Returning to this film, after watching it, it doesn't seem to give me the feeling that I have so many films before, probably because the plot is really simple and the characterization is not profound, but why did Arrietty sit down in the teapot boat in the end, The faint music sounded, and suddenly there was an indescribable feeling of pain. Helpless, and suddenly enlightened. Life is like this, no matter how many differences, it is just a word of treasure. No matter how much you give up, it will eventually set sail.
The 14-year-old child, the first unforgettable parting, felt sore and unbearable, but still forced a smile and raised his head to face the distance. The handsome boy with a clean breath, the boy who endured a colicky heart to protect you, the boy who seemed to be always gentle and beautiful with you on his shoulders, the boy who had the most perfect jawline but was terminally ill, The young man who will always keep you in my heart and always in your heart.
Why does this story hurt one of our fragile nerves and can't stop for a long time? Probably because of first love, yes, because this is a story about first love. So it makes people faint, but indescribable.
Arrietty, you are part of my heart and I will never forget you.
Why did he secretly meet this dangerous human being behind his back, why did he disregard his father's warning and disregard the family's distress, and climbed the vines on the second floor again and again. Is it really just to return that little sugar cube? Or to warn him not to interfere in his own life? The real answer, the blush that couldn't be dissipated on his face at the first sight and the stiff back that was enveloped by his gaze had already been revealed.
I'm 14 years old and kinda cute
I live under the kitchen floor
right here, not far from you
sometimes happy, sometimes sad
but the corners of your mouth curl up when I think of you

    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.
