The glass heart is the cure

Since Miyazaki's retirement, there have been rumors of Studio Ghibli disbanding. I heard before that Ghibli's latest animated film "Marnie in Memories" is not very well rated in Japan. I saw it on station B the other day, so I looked it up, but after reading one third of it, I gave up. I really can't stand that lady.
The author seems to want to shape the growth process of a sensitive and introverted girl. However, there are also two types of sensitive introverts. One is to pay attention to other people's feelings and to bear the pressure silently. There are many such characters in Japanese comics. , to speculate on others with the greatest malice, in a word, it is impossible to get along. The heroine is the latter. People around, from teachers to classmates to adoptive mother, no one treats her badly, but the heroine completely turns a blind eye, and treats the kindness of others to her as a donkey, and not only speaks ill of people behind her back (scolding the adoptive mother who sent her to a relative's house in the countryside to recuperate) , scolding people face to face without hesitation (calling the country girl who took the initiative to approach her is a fat pig), completely lacking even basic courtesy. After scolding someone, the person being scolded is not angry yet, she seems to have suffered a great grievance, and runs to the side to complain about herself and hate herself. It's really contrived. If there is such a glass-hearted person around, everyone should hurry up and hide.
In general, broken hearts always have some valid reasons. The most common is childhood trauma. But the heroine of this work has nothing to do with her, except for the little things she did when she was a child—the parents died early and the family was left behind. Later, I found out that this may be the legendary princess disease: I thought that I was also a child of a wealthy family, and I was reduced to an adopted daughter of an ordinary family. It was really "poor gold and jade, and I ended up in the mud". Even this person's soul can only be completed by a deceased grandmother of a noble family. What other people have treated her well over the years is all air! Don't you see our autistic heroine when she saw the ghost (phantom) of her grandmother when she was young, even her heart was sprouted (what the hell are you blushing), I really don't know what kind of lily love the producer did! As far as I know many BL characters, even if they are brainless, they are still cute. The characterization is almost hilarious if it weren't for those authors who couldn't hold back the idea of ​​doing bad things.
I read a report before quoting a Japanese film critic: "For works like "Marnie in Memories", I estimate that I have watched it no less than 12 times in the famous animation theater. "Frozen" can be in the 4-minute song "" Let It Go shows the growth of the characters, but Marnie doesn't. As a result, the growth of the characters is very unnatural, and the story ends." This is polite. Originally, this kind of growth theme is bad street, but whether the theme of bad street can be written well depends on the skill. At least it can be done to make people feel happy and empathetic, at least the characters must have a cute point. But the heroine of this work has nothing to shine except for the pretentious glass heart and the feeling of self-pity and self-pity. Sensitive for the sake of sensitivity, autism for the sake of autism, such a poor characterization has the same plot as the boiled water, and some small freshmen in China pay the bill. Such people have always been regardless of the rationality and touchingness of the characters in the plot, as long as they meet the six words "small and fresh, beautiful and picturesque", they will praise them in droves. And what about Ghibli's signature?
