Those touching little details

Raven 2022-04-22 07:01:02

Hayao Miyazaki's animation basically has two characteristics, one is very delicate, there are many details in both characters and stories; the other is that you can always see some very symbolic meanings in his animations, and usually reveal people The plot of the relationship with nature. From the deer god in "Princess Mononoke" and the death and new life he represents, as well as those who yearn for the power of nature, and the relationship between humans and insects in "Nausicaa", to the polluted river god in "Spirited Away" , the filled Amber River, the human beings who eventually turned into pigs, and the faceless people who were brought down by Yu Po Po. . . These seemingly non-existent metaphors always gently touch your nerves when you least expect them, and make people want to think about something. Bit by bit, this kind of caring is raised, but it is not nakedly pointed out. With such a deep theme and such consummate expression skills, it is Hayao Miyazaki's film.


There are many wonderful details in the film, not only in terms of character characterization, but also in the context of the plot, as well as the metaphors mentioned above.

There are a lot of details in the characterization. What impressed me was the many details of the little white dragon. As if finding Chihiro on the shore, she gently supported her shoulders with both hands. It was like giving her a pill and saying that she would not turn into a pig, and then holding her hand with both hands. It's like saying "I have worked hard" when Chihiro was discovered, like comforting Chihiro with one hand on her shoulder. . All these details give a very gentle feeling.

The feeling of Chihiro is that although the surface is dull and expressionless (probably because of the animation), he is a very emotional person and cares about the people and things around him. From the beginning, I held flowers and was gloomy because of parting, and felt distressed because the flowers disappeared, paid attention to the direction of the wind, and was frightened by the stone carvings; later, I watched and cared for the faceless people, wanted to shower the river god, and stayed with the dinner group. tears. . . Chihiro is a very sensitive and emotional person. Although she is almost expressionless, she understands many things in her heart. .

There are actually many details that echo before and after. I was particularly impressed by the moving company that I talked about when I got out of the cave at the end (after seeing the car, I wondered what happened to the house).

There is one more detail. When Chihiro went to see Granny Tang for the first time, she met a fat white man, obviously helping Chihiro. I have been thinking about it.

1. Before Chihiro entered the tunnel, she saw a lot of Shisi, and her mother said: It is the place where the gods live; Chihiro saw the lights on the other side of the river on this side of the river, and the gorgeous boat carried a piece of gods.

2. Before entering the tunnel, Chihiro saw two half-buried frog stone sculptures. Later, when you exit the tunnel, you can also see the stone carvings at the door, but you can no longer see that they are frogs.

3. The scene of exiting the tunnel and entering the tunnel at the end is exactly the same. There is a feeling of passing through in an instant.

4. Chihiro, who wanted to look back, gritted his teeth and still did not return

. 5. Those kind little briquettes. When Chihiro needed a job, they would rather not do it and become ordinary briquettes, and also help Chihiro.

6. The faceless man nodded silently and made a small voice. The shaking hands when Chihiro rejected him. The comparison of big sips when eating people and small sips when drinking coffee.

7. Her tears kept floating upwards, crying and laughing and saying: It's really the name of a god

8. When Chihiro left, Xiao Bailong's hand rested in the same place for a long time.

9. If you forget your name, you will not know how to return to the original world.

10. You can only solve your own affairs by yourself . 11.

There is no way to erase the memory, it is just forgotten.

It was filled, and many houses were built on it. It suddenly occurred to me that many years ago, Amber Chuan-san did everything he could to learn magic.

13. What makes the river god super dirty is household waste. . .

14. The gold that the faceless man gave to others turned into dirt. He said: I will only give the gold to Qianxun alone. . .

15. After Chihiro stepped on the bug with her feet, the baby mouse and briquettes continued to imitate

16. The grandfather who boiled water: "This is love, love!"
