I was about to eat.
What do you serve with it?
Fragrant dried plums.
Give me one too!
Whoops, you're so greedy.
I remember in "Red VAN", after the song "Space Oddity" by Brother Wei, the uncle of the tea restaurant said: "Although I don't understand what you are singing at all, I think it is very good"!
I think so too.
Music, or sound, is one of the few things that can cross language barriers. For example, when I failed English in three years of high school, when I opened the player list, there were still piles of English songs. Although I don't know what I'm singing without reading the lyrics (in fact, I don't know if I read the lyrics), but it still doesn't prevent me from brainwashing over and over again.
Although I don't know what the Japanese nursery rhyme is singing at the beginning, I think it's pretty good.
About Toei and Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata:
There is so much to say about Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki that there is no need to say more. Because even if you are not a fan of anime, you know more or less about it. But Toei and Takahata is always ignored by people intentionally or unintentionally.
Toei Animation, one of the longest-running animation production companies in Japan, was established in 1948. "Game King", "Slam Dunk", "Sailor Moon", "Dragon Ball", "Digimon", "Smart Ikkyu" and "Saint Seiya". It can be said that basically the entire post-80s generation and most of the post-90s generation grew up under the works of Toei.
Gao He Gong was born in Toei, and formed Ghibli after quitting. Yoshiaki Nishimura, the producer of "The Story of Kaguya Princess", said: "Without Takahata Isao, there would be no Studio Ghibli. All Ghibli members were brought out by Takahata Isao. It was him who discovered Miyazaki, He was the one who taught Toshio Suzuki how to be a producer." Takahata also discovered Joe Hisaishi, who was unknown when he used him to score Hayao Miyazaki's "The Valley of the Wind", but has since become Iconic figure in Japanese film music.
Literacy is over, please see in the future that not all Ghibli productions are made by Mr. Gong.
About the movie:
I first knew that tanuki would turn into a teaser in Japanese culture, or in "Doraemon", a cat-like robot often called a tanuki because it lost its ears.
Man and nature, traditional Japanese culture and folklore are the two most common themes in Ghibli's works. The film begins in a semi-documentary format, and then enters the storyline with the running of hundreds of raccoons - become raccoons!
Almost all of Ghibli's works have a very comfortable style. This style of painting, like the work itself, gives a pure and natural feeling. It is neither like some inferior brain-dead animations that can be watched on the spot in shadow play, nor is it artificial like some pseudo-3D animations. You can say it is pure, or even simple, but there is often a feeling of complexity in simplicity. In short: it doesn't look exaggerated, it doesn't look monotonous, it's very comfortable.
The theme of the film is very simple, the nature represented by people and tanuki. I don't want to or I don't agree to put it in the word "environmental protection". Because the ultimate goal of environmental protection is not to protect nature, but to maximize the use of nature. Isn't the ultimate goal of sustainable development still development? Whether plants or animals, the most basic and fundamental needs are survival and reproduction, the so-called "eating sex". To eat, to ensure the survival of the individual, to reproduce, to ensure the survival of the population. Just like a raccoon, eat, eat, play and play. Sadly and preciously, it is impossible for us to return to this state. Even if this state is indeed the most suitable for nature, the greenest.
We have hands, a more developed brain and greater "strength" than other species, we are no longer satisfied with adapting to nature, but want to let nature adapt to us; we have richer feelings and more Many desires, simple food and sex can no longer satisfy us. We want more and more, so other species get less and less, until one day the species itself disappears.
Compared with Gong, Gao's works have less spiritual energy and more sincere carving and pondering. There is not too much imagination and escape, just moving forward step by step, slowly infiltrating the entire atrium.
Another feature of Ghibli products is that the young and the old can take it all. I remember coming home during the winter vacation of freshman year and playing "My Neighbor Totoro" to my first-year sister. She could read it from the beginning to the end, even if she couldn't understand the subtitles. It seems easy to make children like it and adults with adult thinking like it, but not many people seem to be able to do it. Use the simplest words to speak the most profound truths, and the most direct words to speak the most complex feelings. This is Ghibli.
"Give me back the mountains, give me back my hometown, and give me back the fields".
