The Japanese seem to be naturally good at using warm lenses to sneak delicate emotions into people's eyes, such as "My Neighbor Totoro", "Spirited Away", "Ponyo on the Cliff", such as "Fairy Tale of the Years" and "The Villain Who Borrows Things" Arrietty.
Most of the stories are connected by bits and pieces of life details, but we can always feel every tender moment from these real and sensible life events.
The story takes place on a sunny and simple island. Momoko is an 11-year-old sixth grade girl. Because Momoko's father suffered misfortune during a scientific expedition, Momoko's mother, Ikuko, brought Momoko from Tokyo to the Seto Inland Sea. Living in Xishima, facing the sadness of losing her father and all the unfamiliar environments and people, Taozi has an indescribable sadness in her heart. When she first arrived on the island, she did not like to talk, did not want to make friends, and was unhappy all day.
During the time she lived on the island, because Yuzi was often busy with work and had no time to take care of Taozi, Taozi often felt lonely and bored. She kept a letter left by her father in her hand, and often stared at the letter in a daze. But there are only three words "to peach" on the letter. What does Dad want to say to her? She has always been curious.
She still remembers the scene where she and her father met for the last time, but that time ended with a quarrel. Because her father's work often travels, she has very little time to accompany her. This time, just in time for her parents' wedding anniversary, Taozi I prepared a surprise for them. My father agreed, but he couldn't go because of work temporarily. Taozi was very angry, and finally said, "You don't have to come back!"
I never thought about this sentence, but it became a prophecy, and my father never came back. Taozi turned to this unfinished letter while sorting out her father's belongings, and at that moment, she burst into tears.
Maybe it was Dad's unfulfilled wish that disturbed the gods and monsters. God sent three giant and ugly monsters to Taozi's side. At first, Taozi thought that he had hallucinations, and three extremely ugly monsters appeared beside him. everyday.
A Yan, who is rough on the outside and a girl at heart, always looks like A Chuan who is narcissistic and very narcissistic, and A Dou who is gentle, kind, ugly and cute. In this way, in order to help Taozi untie her knot, three monsters with very different personalities do their best to help Taozi adapt to life on the island, encourage her to go diving and make friends.
The climax of the movie is that Yuzi suffers from an asthma attack and his life is in danger, but at this time, a typhoon crosses the border, and the only doctor in the village goes to the next village to see a doctor. Call the doctor. The gods and monsters were very reluctant to help at first, for fear of breaking the rules of God. Later, they were moved by Taozi’s sincerity and mobilized all the ghosts in the forest to open up a magical passage. In the end, Taozi successfully rescued her mother. Peach's heart knot slowly opened.
There are many details of life in the movie that are worth savoring slowly. During the dispute between Peaches and the monster, the only mirror left by his father to his mother was accidentally broken. When the mother saw it, she ran over to ask Peaches as soon as possible to check whether Peaches was injured or not. Go to the mirror. Many people say that Adou is the incarnation of father. He always waits for Taozi and mother unconditionally. When mother goes to work, he always follows behind. He is extremely gentle to Taozi, which is in sharp contrast to his ugly appearance.
In the end, the gods and monsters completed their mission, turned into water droplets, and flew back to the sky. Taozi also received a letter from his father on the worship day of the temple, "You have to work hard!" If so, I understand that she and her mother want to live a good life and face the future life bravely.
