I walked by holding your hand, the hillside where poppies bloomed.

I have always liked the title of "The Hillside of Poppy Bloom", but I never watched this film when I heard that Goro Miyazaki was not good enough. After watching it, I feel that he really has a long way to go. Ghibli is such a good artist, soundtrack, and so many excellent seniors to escort him, and then I feel that he has done nothing. If you don't make progress and don't produce high-quality works, you will really ruin this golden signboard.

If you don’t want to live in the shadow of your father all your life, Goro Miyazaki can either shoot Miyazaki-style works, which is obviously quite difficult, and Goro’s talent is a little mediocre, he is almost fifty years old, and there is limited room for improvement; either he chooses to go To break through and innovate, to open up his own world, the "Legend of the Earth Sea" many years ago was an attempt. Although it failed, I hope he will not lose his courage and carry the banner of Ghibli. After all, the Ghibli talent is now withered, and there is no successor, so Wulang can toss at will. If he can open up a new position, it will be considered a great achievement.

This film is very bland, but it has a little bit of blood. When combined, it will only make people feel that the director's skills are insufficient. If it is Hayao Miyazaki, how can there be such a feeling of "not enough blood" . What is more outstanding is that the nostalgic atmosphere is well grasped, projecting the post-war atmosphere of the whole country in a small home. Ma Jiang's voice is very sweet, light and agile like a girl, and can hear Xiao Haiyin taking care of his family for a long time, the maturity and calmness in his voice that exceeds his peers.

Also, I really like the title of the film. Although I know that the translation is not accurate, it is very beautiful to read. When I first saw the name "Slope of Poppies in Bloom", the sentence of the title of this article came to my mind instantly, I walked by holding your hand, the hillside with blooming poppies, and then I made up all kinds of things. romantic scene. Although it is a pity that there is no such scene in the film, and there is not even a scene of poppies, but I believe that Xiaohai and Kazama-kun will definitely hold hands and walk on the hillside together. Maybe Xiaohai's sister will draw a picture of this The painting of the theme.

It seems that I have been criticizing Miyazaki Goro all the time. In fact, the interlude of Miyazaki Goro's lyrics is quite good, especially when the students chorus, they listened to it several times.

Attached lyrics (pure hand type):

Even if one day,

it will be swallowed by the dark blue waves,

please don't sink in the horizontal line,

We will be the peaks of the mountains, holding our

heads high to meet the wind from the future.
