I still believe the world is perfect

I watched this film on an ordinary cloudy and rainy afternoon. The reason was that it would not be too much of a brainstorm, because at first glance I could tell that the protagonist of the story was a young man, the color of the picture was Ghibli, and the background music was hand music. Aoi. ——Simple and clear things are not necessarily bad, and the healing system also shows different effects in different groups of people.
I think of watching and listening in the early years. At that time, I had not experienced the baptism of literary films twice three days, and I didn't really accept that the animation plot was a slow and realistic story that had nothing to do with fantasy. At that time, I saw Cat Baron's eyes lit up. , the fat cat on the corner stretched and looked at the heroine, always thinking that something was going to happen. In the end, of course, nothing happened - it actually happened, met the old grandpa and the boy, heard the story, and spent some good afternoons. It's just that I would prefer to show me some things that are out of imagination, or not out of imagination, but out of reality. So I watched the cat's repayment. The baron cat really became a gentleman, and the big white cat became a messenger who traveled through the world. Here was a cat's world of Alice in Wonderland, so I was even more satisfied. stand up. - This leads to the conclusion that I prefer the fantasy stories that Studio Ghibli tells me, like Nausicaa, My Neighbor Totoro, Castle in the Sky or Howl's Moving Castle.
So seeing the hillside where poppies are in full bloom feels good, which is really unexpected. In fact, from the plot point of view, some cinemas can hardly bear the blood, so some comments say that the laughter in the cinema is generally understandable. It's just that these plot turning points are too insignificant for an empty and gloomy afternoon, and such a friendly plot even seems to be more tense than on the big screen when played on a 14-inch notebook. And almost fanciful teenage stories always fit my age just out of school. ——One day I will be willing to admit that my youth is over, but it is not yet at that time, at least I think so.
The fantasy-style youth story is about the campus collective life that often appears in Japanese comics, working together and united. It's not just that all the people are shoulder-to-shoulder and arm-in-arm for the same goal, but everyone clearly recognizes their position, the protagonists in the story are those few, and the rest are willing to play their supporting roles , they are willing to select the protagonists who seem to be responsible for some important tasks at some point, and when the task is successful, they say "this should be に ま た は XXX".
I saw a long review about Gujian before, and after reading it, I felt a sense of sadness suddenly realized. The article said that the authenticity of this game is that everyone in the game - not only the protagonist, but also the NPC - is living his own life. They don't care if there is a young man named Baili Tusu who gave his life for the world, and they don't care if there is a little girl named Feng Qingxue who gave up reincarnation in order to find a chance to help her lover be reborn. They have their own things to worry about, daily firewood, rice, oil and salt, small gossip on the streets, some people dream of being a sword fairy, some people dream of being a hero. The protagonist and his party are not the focus of their lives. ——So it can be deduced that the same principle can also be applied to other more film and television dramas, which is indeed true, but this is not the story I [now or ever] yearn to see.
There are absolute protagonists in the fantasy-style youth stories, and the supporting characters are happily busy with the tasks of the protagonists. This kind of story appears a lot in Japanese youth animation, like the previous slam dunk. Whoever imagined that he was a powerful character when he was young, the work does come from life, but it is always higher than life, and there are always more things that people are happy to pursue.
In Hayao Miyazaki's animation, children's hearts are always good, and adults' hearts are always evil. Mostly evil, but there are always exceptions for good. Like Howl, like Yuba, like Grandpa Boiler or other lovely adults in the Miyazaki animation world. Of course, there is no unforgivable evil in realistic animations, and it is only the stubborn headmaster who does not seek the opinions of students, and the directors above know the taste of youth, which is an illusion. Another embodiment of youthful youth. ——The struggle of students in the real world is actually difficult to reach the point in the animation. First of all, it is difficult to have a common goal worth striving for. As we get older, everyone pursues different things. When we grow up, even the sports meeting will cause some people's boredom, so even the last bit arouses empathy. The collective winning mentality has also disappeared. Secondly, as mentioned before, there is no absolute protagonist or supporting role among us. People are not very willing to play supporting roles even for the leaders of the struggle. In the end, it seems that not every place has school directors who remember their youth.

Then I went to watch the NHK documentary.
I know that Grandpa Apron has always been a stubborn and a little cute old man, and of course his temper is a little weird. But the impression of his son has been stuck in the overwhelming criticism. And the sea level is indeed not enough. But after reading it, I found out that Wu Langjun is actually as stubborn as his father, and his energy to work without sleep is exactly the same as his father. With such an old man standing in front of him, it must be difficult to make a career in Ghibli. The two of them were stubbornly busy with their own careers, and the documentary filming was smooth and slow. I was sitting on the small rug alone, feeling the pain in my buttocks and crying. ——I liked drawing since I was a child, but after all, I did garden design in order to stay away from my father's career. Because of some wonderful coincidence, I stepped into the animation supervision circle, and my debut work failed.
Fortunately, Poppy was not a failure. I think it can be seen in the works whether the producers are serious about making films. Every action and every line of the characters, if they are really scrutinized, even if they have been heard thousands of times elsewhere, they are also touching sentences when put together. ——Since the unfamiliar is not necessarily good, the so-called popular is not necessarily bad.
I feel that even if I am as vulgar as me, I can see all of Wulang's hard work in Poppy. There is a depression about the loss of his father in Xiaohai, an analogy to Wulang when he was young, because the old man couldn't accompany him through that period of life because of his busy work; for example, watching the hero and heroine grow up, he felt that he couldn't control their lives, but just accompanied them to go on. I feel that I don't know how to deal with the ending; for example, I modify the script again and again by myself and then hide it from the old man.
After watching "Earth Sea", Hayao Miyazaki said with a serious face, "It's like watching his own child. Although I still don't approve of him doing this, this matter should be very important to him."
But "Yu" After the "Beautiful Hillside", he smiled and said to the reporter, "Let him put some pressure on me!"
Of course, Wu Lang would also retort - "If you have the ability, don't die!"

Seeing the old man speaking at his colleague's memorial service, Saying that he is walking quickly, he will try to walk as slowly as possible. Really need to go slower. Your son's first work was a complete mess, and the second one was mixed with praise and praise, with more praise than abuse. Because of a scene map you drew, he can understand more characters' psychology, or wait for one day, maybe he really put pressure on you?
Seeing the script of Wulang's painting of Xiaohai pulling Jun's hand and jumping onto the side of the ship, I have an indescribable feeling. In fact, I also think that we should hug her at that time. Although nothing "substantial" happened between the two of them, they were crying and laughing because of some trivial things. This is youth, right? ——I think the world is still good, no matter how great the failure and how great the obstacles, people can still walk on the ideal road. It may sometimes require a compromise of dignity, and sometimes a compromise of obsession. But as long as the general direction does not change, I still believe that the world is perfect.

    Always remember the difference before the tram, I like you. All Japanese comic plots are reflected. The style and soundtrack of the whole play are exquisite and delicate, which is great.
