It wasn't until I met Hayao Miyazaki that I knew someone was crazier and outspoken than me. But few people don't like Hayao Miyazaki, the kingdom of dreams and fantasies he created. In this kingdom, he guards the most precious things in human nature. At some point, we will all find that the rules have been set, and we continue to assemble our minds according to the rules, saying worldly words, doing worldly things, and dreaming worldly dreams. Hiding in the ignorant boy, hiding in the mother's womb. Haven't I thought about picking the stars and taking the moon? Haven't you ever thought of becoming a bird in an instant and a fish in an instant? Haven't you ever thought that the jujube tree on this bank is holding a lot of fruit, and it is a look back for the willow tree on the other side of Bo? However, the ability to dream that I lost day by day, was deprived of life, or gave up voluntarily, I have long been unable to distinguish.
When my daughter saw the garlic cloves for the first time, she blurted out the moon with a look of joy and fondled it in every possible way. My heart trembled, I couldn't bear to say it, let her Mingyue be in my hand. One day, they will discover the so-called truth; one day, they will be familiar with all the rules. Now, let them be innocent for a while. Their love for Miyazaki is beyond my expectations. Except for the red pig, they never get tired of watching them, and they even ask you and me to answer the lines before going to bed. What does a three-year-old know? Hayao Miyazaki must know that he doesn't like red pigs, and neither does my daughter. I never thought that I watched Totoro once in college, and I will watch it so many times now. With the light of my daughter, I was able to read Hayao Miyazaki again and again, and read the dreams that seemed to be real when I was young. An idea came up quietly and became more and more firm: in any case, take them to the Ghibli Museum next year to see the place where the dream was made. So I found this "The Kingdom of Dreams and Rhapsody".
An old man in his seventies, with white hair and beard, wears a white apron with a bear pattern on his pocket all day long. He goes to work at eight in the morning and puts down his paintbrush at nine in the evening. When passing the kindergarten, he will wait and watch for a long time, waving enthusiastically to the children. In addition to painting, he worked hard to record the details of every major accident, but in the end he found no difference. The financial turmoil and the explosion of a nuclear power plant failed to change people's expressions and footsteps. He admits that his creativity is exhausted, and he can only paint the city in front of him from a different angle. In the secular world, the heart is outside the square, and the oriental wisdom is displayed everywhere in his words and deeds. "Those who design aircraft and machinery, no matter how good their original intentions are, the wind of the times will turn him into a tool of mechanical civilization, never harmless, but a cursed dream. From ancient times to the present, All human dreams are cursed dreams. Animation is the same, isn't it a big hobby? We could make valuable animations before, but now? Our world is full of garbage." Trash makes dreams, and as adults we make dreams into trash. What a strange thing! Ghibli is just a name, and it's a very casual name, Miyazaki foresees that it will fall apart, and his face is light.
It was Toshio Suzuki who was worried, the thin old man who devoted himself to taking care of the company's affairs. Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata are dream masters, and Toshio Suzuki is committed to bringing their dreams to the screen, and he seems to cherish their dreams more than the dreamers. At a discussion meeting, Suzuki took the responsibility on himself: "Don't put everything on the director, "The Wind Rises" and "The Story of Kaguya Princess" are both interesting cases, in fact, the director does not want to do it, but Why did the plan come into being? In the end, it was all driven by me." Suzuki, like a treasure-protecting beast, spared no effort to guard Miyazaki and Takahata. Complaining in mouth, but meticulous in action. After getting along for many years, I already knew the temperament of the two masters very well, and they were very familiar with them.
It is Takahata Isao who is more difficult to deal with. Takahata's low appearance rate in the film may be the reason for his low profile. Suzuki and Miyazaki took the opportunity to keep complaining, and they did not forget to joke at the press conference, vomited bitterly, and rendered a master suffering from procrastination cancer very cute. After watching "My Neighbor Yamada-kun" and "The Story of Kaguya Princess", you can see how cute this master was in his later years.
In this way, three people spent 30 years casting a holy place in the hearts of anime fans all over the world. Rather than being fascinated by anime, it is better to say that you are fascinated by dreams, and fascinated by the emotions that dreams bring to you. Thirty years ago, a dream that I have been unable to reproduce. If I could go back to that spot, I wouldn't be able to fly. However, for my children, they may still have a chance. What I can do is to pick a persimmon with my left hand and a pomegranate with my right hand, and throw both hands together.
