That era, like my father himself, is still unfamiliar to me. But then he didn't get divorced, so there was me. He chose the mathematics department, which he was better at, rather than the more promising but confusing computer department. He later studied for a master's degree. After graduation, all his classmates went abroad. He joined the army and became a teacher in the army academy. Later, when the school stopped enrolling students, he switched to scientific research and engaged in some secret military weapons research. In his spare time, he spends more time reading some classic novels and literature and history books.
The father in my memory, his eyes and face have never been different, just like the hero Horikoshi Jiro in the movie, no matter how many close-ups he looks at the sky, I still don't know what he is thinking.
Hayao Miyazaki's new film (now I know it won't be the last - he's back - -!) is surprisingly realistic and set against an extremely sensitive Taisho period historical context Next, tells a coming-of-age story caught up in the storm of war. The film is amazingly multi-polar. Hayao Miyazaki's persistent dreams and lackluster love under the blue sky, white clouds and green grass once again made most people cry. The ambiguous attitude to war made the film jealous in Japan, but it was criticized at home for glorifying the crime of aggression. The protagonist's contemptuous attitude and actions toward his wife make some women hate it, believing that she is inhumane and lacks basic respect for women. But after watching the film for a month, I really feel that those dreams of love war or something are not what the old man wanted to say. What Miyazaki wants to reproduce is to live in such a difficult and depressing age, and in a war period when he didn't know what war was, the protagonist Jiro Horikoshi's tense choices and perseverance in the face of endless contradictions.
The most important line in the film is undoubtedly the phrase "the wind is blowing, try to survive". This seems to be in line with reality in an era when one has to work hard to improve military strength without enough food, but it is not suitable for Horikoshi Jiro. With his almost naive fascination with aircraft, he successfully became an aircraft designer, and grew into a pivotal member of the military machine. Survival has never required "hard work" for him. From this point of view, Erlang is extremely lucky. Of course, whether lucky or not, there has never been a lack of confusion and confusion in life. The most impressive times in the film are the people who fled with their hats in the wind and trembling during the Great Kanto Earthquake. A group of chubby girls pushed each other on a plane designed in a dream that no longer needed to carry weapons, and stayed by the bedridden wife with tuberculosis. The back of the work still insisting on smoking, the vigilant and hesitant eyes of street children who want to give food under the street lights at night, and the end of the film, all the planes crashed on the battlefield, and the wife passed away without saying goodbye. Erlang's face with any expression changes. Faced with so many differences and contradictions in life, how did Erlang choose? What kind of consciousness would make a young man full of love and ideals insist on creating machines that constantly take people's lives? How can you completely ignore the feelings of your loved ones?
You will find that you can't always see through. Occasionally, when we are wandering in the contradictions of life and hesitating about which path to take, it is difficult to determine whether the choice is the right one or whether it is more suitable for us. When spying on other people's lives, whether it is his own father or a virtual character on a distant screen, when they want to get something from the moment they make a choice, they always get a blank. It's frustrating to think that this void ends up giving you more possibilities for interpretation.
"People can't live with all kinds of contradictions." There seems to be such a line in the film. So I stopped thinking about it.
