Our town

On the mountainside, overlooking the town in the Gobi, when Sally told McQueen about the changes of the town with a little sentimental, the background music was Our town.
Do you also feel a trace of sadness when the former glory of the town and the present loss are intertwined in the montage of the movie screen with the memory of the lost Our town?
This sadness may be seen as a kind of nostalgia. It is not a general sigh of the passage of time, the changes of the world, the vicissitudes of life; it has a specific content, which is based on the familiarity and nostalgia for the small town and the people living on this land. McQueen, and Sally, who has been in town for a long time, will feel the same way.
The town is built and prospered because of the road, and it also gradually declines because of the road. Objectively speaking, this is the inevitable law of historical development. Even if there are many reluctance and helplessness, we always have to face and accept it.
However, in a short period of time, the town can allow outsiders like McQueen and Sally to find a sense of belonging, so that they can become part of the town consciously or unconsciously. What is the charm of the town?
However, the appearance of the town is unbelievably attractive. It has no urban high-rise buildings, prosperous shops, or crowds. What it has is only old but well-organized streets and buildings. It is quiet for a long time, or it can be said to be quiet. Yet it has a human touch. Here, the distance between people is very close, or in other words, there is no gap between hearts - the small town is a place where you can rest assured: you can laugh at ease, sing at ease, scold at ease, cry at ease; you can rest assured Make honest and honest friends, and you get to know others, and you get to know yourself. So at some point, a town became Our town.
This song should be Country music.
There are three words for a country in English: Nation (national meaning country), State (political meaning country) and Country (geographic meaning country). When referring to the motherland and hometown, it is often used Country, or Mother Land. As we call it "Mother Earth" and "Homeland", a feeling of respect and nostalgia for the land is clearly and naturally revealed.
The town and its inhabitants are rooted in the land. Here, there is a dialogue and close connection between people and the land, which is an innate natural and humanistic attribute. In the city, when dialogue is blocked and connections are interrupted, simplification and alienation of people inevitably occur. So indifference and selfishness have replaced enthusiasm and tolerance. When people are more and more "efficient" in advancing technology and the economy, and material things bring us great convenience, the world will become a better place and life will become better. Are you happy?

" Back then, cars came across the country a whole different way,
…,
the road didn't cut through the land like that interstate.
It moved with the land, you know? It rose, it fell, it curved.
Cars didn't t drive on it to make great time. They drove on it to have a great time."
Maybe we can find the answer in Sally's telling.
When we reach our destination faster with the help of technology, can we really make great time? Great time for what?
We save time, we increase efficiency; we have purpose, but not meaning. Or that we have forgotten the meaning.

Hayao Miyazaki's "Castle in the Sky" paints a picture for us: in the era of great machinery full of legend and imagination, the core of the system of laputa, which is the crystallization of technology and science, is actually a Kurajian. The author's intentions can be described as good. The metaphor between nature and technology is deep.
Such a city in the sky is worth yearning for. At the end of the film, it is because of the protection of the big tree that it avoids complete disintegration in the devastating blow and continues to float in the air.
Such an ending brings comfort to those who are watching it go away, because it was a dream we pursued, and after a catastrophe, this dream still exists, continues to circulate in the world, and will give people who are still looking forward to and looking for it. People bring a hope, and this hope can be made a lot simpler because the laputa loses its advanced armed system
