"Ah~ what are you doing? ...... pervert!"
I remember that in elementary school, some of the girls in the class who were just beginning to develop would wear underwear like a bellyband and need to tie a sling around the neck. The boys don't understand, they will be very curious, and the naughty ones will pull the sling from the back, causing the girls to blow their noses and stare, and chase the boys to run around the school. Girls know how to work as a team and flank them from front to back. Boys can’t hide. They will climb trees or hide in the toilet, grimacing and provocative, making people laugh and cry.
There are always some memorable memories in life. Our memories and stories are different, but our feelings are the same. This is what "Fairy Tales of the Years" gave me.
I once introduced this animated film to some friends, and some friends said that the film was too sweet and the story didn't have ups and downs. In the eyes of friends who only like to watch dramatic plots, this is not necessarily a good work worthy of my repeated taste. Well...it's really smooth, but it's a good piece of work.
"The Fairy Tale of the Years" belongs to the story structure of non-dramatic prose narrative type. The plot is warm and pure, simple but full of true feelings, resonating, touching people's inner feelings, clear, simple and warm. It is not the thrill of screams, the arrogance of bullets, the decision of right and wrong, the torture of bizarre nightmares, the joy of structural novelty, the appreciation of visual wonders, what it gives me is a quiet, not only The power of silence, that kind of affinity that is felt when looking up under the stars all night, with one's head to the side, blends in with all the daily details, it is saying:
"Hi, man."
In the experience similar to countless hearts, it is Show me your unique charm.
I watched this film when I was in my third year of high school, and I watched it several times over and over again. It really touched me. At that time, I couldn't figure out the real tenderness it brought me - I haven't really figured it out yet, but I just like it. As a female identity, although there are not many similar events as in the film, this step-by-step mental journey is very similar to that of the protagonist. The background of the story takes place in the 1960s, but the story does not fade due to different years, and it does not make it difficult for the audience to resonate with different events. It just has the simplicity and authenticity after washing away the splendor.
The film is not just for nostalgia, it is more about how a woman transforms in memory. At the same time, the director did not forget to convey his thoughts in the film, adding the colors belonging to the whole team. The methods of coexisting in harmony with nature and human beings, people's attitudes towards cities and villages, and descriptions of the hearts of elderly leftover women are all displayed one by one, which arouses our attention and thinking.
I really like the style of painting inside. The color of memories is not the warm yellow or black and white that the movie is used to. It makes full use of the characteristics of animation to make the memories fit the theme, full of warm fairy tale flavor, pink and white and tender, that is Taeko's tenderness The colors of childhood! When I was in my teens, my life had just started, and what was drawn on the white paper might be just a few light and tranquil colors, but it was very lively and vivid.
When she was young, Taeko was cute, kind, naughty, and curious about new things. When she grew up, Taeko was industrious, considerate, and still maintains her love and awe of nature. The film depicts Taeko's character and characterization very well. It is said that each expression and action of Taeko is copied by carefully observing the expressions of real people. It makes people feel very real and kind.
The most moving part of the whole film is the scene where Taeko and Hirota are in the alley. The faded background is like a simple pencil sketch with clear black and white. In the afterglow of the setting sun, it seems to be colorful and makes people unable to open their eyes and focus. Looking at it, a familiar figure blocked the dazzling light. The outlines of the flowers and trees in the alley are blurred like water, and the dream of teaching people to fall into memory cannot wake up, but every movement and every sentence of the figure clearly teaches people that they still blush and heartbeat after many years.
"Rainy day, cloudy day and sunny day, which kind of weather do you like best?"
"Cloudy day."
"Me too."
The mood of the deer's random collision suddenly turned into the joy of hitting a ball, as if it were the sky gap with the ground. That was Tiaozi's first throbbing. The film turned Tiaozi after seeing Hirota into a light fish swimming in the sky and the earth, and visualized Tiaozi's excited and excited mood. This metaphor is very vivid.
The coherence of the film's picture is very good, whether it is between pictures and pictures, or in space conversion. What impresses me most is that the film uses a transition technique similar to a stage play, so that the two spaces of Taeko as a child and Taeko grow up very smoothly.
The childhood Taeko experienced many things that made her feel fresh and unforgettable, about mathematics, about picky eating, about a performance close to a dream, the first menstrual period, being liked or being "hated" by others, and being beaten by her father for the first time. ......The little girl wearing a red skirt, with a red hairpin and showing a high forehead, with such a naughty willful but kind and lovely face, walked back and forth on the 27-year-old train of Taeko.. ....
"If the caterpillar didn't experience the embarrassment of becoming a chrysalis, it would not have been possible to turn into a beautiful butterfly..."
"I think of those memories again and again, could it be that I am embarrassed to become a chrysalis again? .. ....but now that I think about it, we may just stay in a stage of desperately flapping our wings. If we are entangled with the fifth-grade self, maybe I want to tell myself, let's try to fly high!"
In my memory, What you found was not the shy guy who looked back then, but the ignorant girl. No matter how ordinary people are, as the protagonists in their own lives, those trivial matters that are not comparable to the financial turmoil of the World War and the Cosmic Controversy are enough to blow up a hurricane.
We are busy galloping forward towards different goals, modifying, discarding, correcting, and laughing at our past self. Taeko, now an adult, traces back her past self and finds the life she really wanted. Having lived in Tokyo since she was a child, she likes the countryside. When she really chooses between the countryside and the city, she hesitates. It's not that she doesn't love the pastoral style built together by man and nature; it's not that she doesn't love the simple and pious faces of the villagers when they wait for the first ray of morning light, and the old women with folded hands are better than the monks in gold and silver. appear more pious. She is doubting herself, is she inconsistent again?
"Do I really love this kind of life, or is it just pretending?" she asked herself.
When she was confused, the fifth grade of elementary school appeared in front of her eyes again. She thought of Abu, who once hated her. He was her deskmate, and his clothes and conversation were always disgusting. Despite this, she seldom showed disgust for him, but every day she wished not to be at the same table with Abu. When Abu was about to change schools, Abu shook hands with the whole class, but did not shake hands with her.
She thought that Abu would not shake hands with the hypocritical her because Abu knew about her inconsistency. She also didn't like herself like this, so when Minxiong's grandmother asked her if she would marry Minxiong and stay in the village, she hesitated, she was questioning whether she was still like this - she didn't like it very much, but Pretend to like it. In the end, Minxiong helped her solve her doubts about Abu. At the end of the film, she also clarified her true thoughts and flew into Minxiong's arms.
Some memories are more than just memories, and they may lead you to the next stop. Sometimes, I don't know myself very well. I do things that I think I like. I have the taste of Ye Gong and the dragon. Every time I doubt myself and deny myself, I will always run to find the little girl I forgot in the corner, longing for it. The answer she gave.
