2008's "Ponyo on the Cliff" can be said to be the beginning of Hayao Miyazaki's reflection. A film made the estranged father and son finally begin to melt the ice for many years. Miyazaki Goro's evaluation of his father is: "Dad is like a devil at work. He is often away from home because of his busy work, which makes my mother work harder than ordinary mothers. He is a father with zero points.", "Father does not belong to a certain A person. He is introverted and eager to express himself. Although he promotes a passionate life in his works, his heart is extremely pessimistic."
Five years later, "The Wind Rises" is not so much about the life of Jiro Kugoshi as it is to say It's more like Hayao Miyazaki retracing the trajectory of his life in the finale.
The love between Jiyue Erlang and Nahoko is more like an episode compared to the history of struggles of Jiyue, but the film's description of this love, the pictures and music are extremely beautiful and dreamy. Under the sound of the engine, the piano solo is beautiful and ethereal; while watching Na Suiko and her family reunite, although the flying catkins are burning and passers-by are running, the soundtrack is a quiet and melodious clarinet; when the reunion is reunited, the white umbrella flutters in the wind and the wildflowers on the grassland There are clear springs flowing everywhere, and the sunlight mottled in the forest, even the rainstorm is beautiful - Erlang and Cai Suiko held an umbrella together and walked together in the rainstorm, then the rain stopped and the sunrise came out, like a certain one. A prophecy of standing together through thick and thin - this film about an airplane, the sky appears countless times, and only when Nahoko arrives, the first rainbow appears in the sky of the dugout. However, rainbows are beautiful but short-lived, just like Nahoko's life and their love life. As the German said, after leaving the magic mountain, Jiro Kokoshi went from the man who stood under the balcony wearing a hat to the Nahoko's elegantly saluting suitor has turned back into a workaholic full of aerodynamics. When Nahoko was seriously ill and coughed up blood, Gouyue took a train to visit late at night. On the train, he continued to work in tears, and his tears were on the calculation draft. I always feel that the director has carried out artistic processing and sensationalizing life here, but Not to beautify the indifference of the dig Yue, but to soothe the audience's sympathy for Nahoko. In any case, he still respected the fact that the lover finally came late, but hurriedly returned - you came so suddenly, but left so decisively, I have no time to cry, only smile .
When Erlang was working late at night, Nahoko, who was seriously ill, insisted on waiting for him to come home. Looking at her husband who was working beside her, Nahoko said, would you sit down a bit? ——Even being in one room is not enough. I want you to come closer and closer, hold my hand, even if I suffer from lung disease and smell your tobacco, I can sleep peacefully. There is always life waiting for you, but because of you, this life seems so short.
Before Erlang's plane took off, he was tired and he was lying next to Nahoko. Nahoko stroked his head and encouraged him softly, that he would be able to soar in the sky. ——I don’t understand the precise science you study, but I believe that you will be able to soar in the sky, because I believe, you. The last thing Nahoko said to Erlang was, Erlang, I love you, but Erlang was too tired, so he just called out "Casuizi" and fell into a deep sleep. inside. ——Even if you failed to say that sentence, but before I left, I said it to you seriously, and it was enough.
The original author Hori Tatsuo described the scene of Cai Suozi walking on the pasture in another novel "Cai Suozi": "When Cai Suozi was walking, she saw a big tree whose name could not be named, and the trunk was divided into two parts. The branches of the tree on one side are beautifully shaped leaves, swaying in the wind and shining, symbolizing a vibrant social life, while the branches on the other side are dry, withered, and even to the point of being very painful.” Nahoko immediately thought of it. My own destiny, "I live like it, right? Live withered." Nahoko went to the sanatorium for treatment alone, and Nahoko, who had changed to another world, felt "the joy of being born" again, and her body soon became so happy. In addition to writing condolences, her husband also came to visit several times in person, which comforted the sick Nahoko. However, she misses her husband and longs to be with her husband. On a snowy day, Nahoko returns to Tokyo to meet her husband. For Nahoko at this time, the only way to eliminate loneliness and boredom and pursue happiness is to reunite with her husband.
How beautiful the works of art are, in just two hours, accompanied by Hisaishi's magnificent music, we read the poignant life of others, but how long and real the pain of life is.
From the living environment of Jigoshi Jiro, we can roughly understand the reason for his choice of life focus-in the film Erlang's father only exists in the narrative of his mother and sister, while Erlang's mother is portrayed as taking care of Erlang and his sister Kayo alone. Gentle women, sister also fulfilled the responsibility of taking care of Erlang to some extent - such as visiting Erlang who has not returned home for two years at school on behalf of his mother, visiting the newly married Erlang couple on behalf of his parents, thanking the Kurokawa couple, and taking the initiative after becoming a doctor To take care of Erlang's wife; the role of Mrs. Kurokawa is the same, not only to support Mr. Kurokawa's career without hesitation, but also to take care of and protect Kurokawa's colleagues; even the "left-behind children" encountered on the side of the road - the elder sister is carrying Babies, fathers who stand on the street every day and wait for their late return...Women's voluntary, unconditional and even unlimited contributions have become a matter of course in the life of Jiro Kogoshi, and they silently support men's dreams , but ultimately failed to become part of his dream.
On the other hand, in Hayao Miyazaki's life, women also played a similar role - the father was busy in the family's aircraft manufacturing industry, while the mother, who suffered from tuberculosis, took care of the four brothers of Hayao Miyazaki strongly, but couldn't get close and hug because of her illness. Therefore, they became stubborn and soft-hearted women - Hayao Miyazaki once admitted that the mean-looking and kind-hearted old lady in "Ponyo on the Cliff" was based on the deceased mother. Although Hayao Miyazaki harbored incomparable guilt and affection for his mother, when his mother died, he was still busy with the creation of "Nausicaa" and could not see the last time.
And his wife Miyazaki Zhumei (real name Datian Zhumei) also has a similar fate - before marriage, Datian Zhumei was a senior producer of Toei Animation in Japan, and her painting skills were highly praised. At that time, everyone thought that Jumei was better than Hayao Miyazaki more promising. Miyazaki Zhumei has participated in the production of famous animations such as "The Legend of the White Snake" in 1958 and "Journey to the West" in 1960, and married Hayao Miyazaki in 1965. Although the two agreed to work together when they got married, after the birth of their second son, Jingsuke, the two realized the difficulty of working together. Zhu Mei quit the workplace and began to concentrate on raising children. Later, she established a personal office to manage the copyright of works for Hayao Miyazaki. The creation provides a strong backing. Hayao Miyazaki has always felt guilty about this. In an interview with "China Japan News" in 1992, he said: "I'm sorry to my wife, and I feel the same way now." When Hayao Miyazaki announced in 2013 that "The Wind Rises" was his When he closed the book, a reporter asked him how his wife, who had been silently supporting him behind his back, responded, and he said: "I have already told my wife about retirement and said that I don't need to make lunches for me anymore, she snorted, For those who have been making lunch boxes every day for many years, I said no, I should say please." According to the Japanese magazine "Women's Own", after Miyazaki retired, Miyazaki Akemi, wife of former animation producer Hayao Miyazaki Will be liberated, Miyazaki Zhumei may try to shoot animation, Miyazaki Hayao is likely to become his wife's assistant, co-production of an animation is also the long-standing wish of the two old people. After 48 years of silent support, I finally ushered in such a result. I want to express my sincere respect for a woman with both talent and feelings. I also want to say that there is always life waiting for you.
"The Wind Rises" seems to be about a bloody dream and a touching love story, but it is not an inspirational animation praising dream-chasing teenagers, but a cruel adult story that reflects on and even questions dreams. This is not the first work to discuss balancing dreams and love, nor will it be the last, but this topic is still "needed" to be discussed... Maybe because in life, we only understand the real results when we see the results of our dreams. The price of dreams, and life has passed like this.
Commenting on his work, Hayao Miyazaki said: "Many things happened in the era where Jiro Horikoshi lived, but people are still alive. Earthquakes will happen, and nuclear power plants have not disappeared. How to survive in such an environment has become a question for everyone. But I don’t think you need to feel lost. As long as you have people you like, eat well, and take care of your children, you can live in this way.” This is the final realization of a 72-year-old who almost abandoned his wife and children to pursue his animation dream. He has been achieving himself all his life, and he accepts the sacrifices of his lover and family with peace of mind. I think it is because he always believes that there is always life waiting-when I am satisfied, when I succeed, I can repay this Everything, I can give myself back to you - but there is little left in life, and what is missed is fault.
When Kuiyue faced Nahoko who was passing away with the wind, how many of the heartbroken expressions at that time were sad for the departure of his lover? How much is the regret for not paying enough for yourself?
There is always life waiting for you, and every day you live is life.
According to viewers who have watched the movie in Japan: "The child in the front row was bored from beginning to end, but the mother who brought him was moved to tears."
It is impossible for someone who has truly loved to not cry. .
The most unforgettable is when Naoko crossed the snow field, through the fields, through the city, and the reunion with Erlang at the station. They finally caught each other in the middle, and it was a lifetime to miss; they hugged and hugged, and they almost merged into one and hugged each other tightly, as if all they got were flukes, and what they lost was life.
Life is too short, parting is too long, the future you gave is too far and too vague, I wish I could just fight for the day and night.
However, no matter what, there is always a life ahead waiting for you. When we meet again after a long absence, please hug me tightly.
