After watching the Ghibli animation "Marnie in Memories", I am touched and sad at the same time. They come from some similar situations that many people have endured in life, such as active or passive isolation from their peers around them. The curiosity and disappointment of the world, the ignorance and despair of the future, gradually become lost, withdrawn, and lost the curiosity and pure happiness that should have been possessed.
Indirectly interspersed before and after the story tells about the growth experiences of two little girls, Anna and Marnie. Lonely Anna takes an imaginary little girl as her only friend in a suitable location, confides her pain and shares her secrets. In such a fantasy, Anna experiences friendship, betrayal, and forgiveness, all of which a child needs to experience gradually as he grows up. And Marnie's unfortunate life was revealed and told that when Anna learned of the deep pain of the little girl in her dream, what she realized in her tears was her concern and understanding for others, and adults would make mistakes and feel sad. Not all the other children were as happy as they seemed.
But these experiences, those cold things that once silently endured, on the final platform of life, may fade into a slight frown on the face when telling the children about their own stories, but they feel helpless and funny? Probably just like how old Marnie felt when she told her story to baby Anna.
