I love Hayao Miyazaki movies, I love them till I get old, and I love them till I die.
If I am overwhelmed with negative energy, I will choose to watch his movies to find courage.
You may laugh at me, how can a person's courage be found in cartoons? I really find courage in cartoons a lot of the time.
In the movie, there are dense fog, spreading green, wanton blue sky, full gray and white clouds... It seems that there is wind in my ears, free and cold.
I want to be born in it, I have had this idea since I was a child.
Seeing Sophie, with a typical palace girl face, she combed her hair obediently to the back and made a three-strand braid.
This style reminds me of the style of adult Taeko in "The Fairy Tale of Time" directed by Isao Takahata. For an eighteen-year-old girl, this was quite normal.
There are all kinds of fancy hats in her hat workshop, but she only chose the most common one, and she lowered the hat and went out the door.
I was really amazed when Howl appeared, and I still think that this is the most beautiful male lead in Hayao Miyazaki's animation.
He has blond hair and blue eyes, a long body and beautiful muscles, like the prince sama with rose background special effects in countless girl comics.
I privately speculate that Howl may be the best-looking male protagonist that Grandpa Gong can draw. In all his original paintings, compared with other male characters, Howl obviously has a taller stature, fairer skin, bigger eyes, more beautiful pupil color, more heroic and emotional eyebrows, and ingenious to give He wore emerald earrings and a sapphire necklace, looking foul.
But Howl is not a prince, he is a man who avoided war, signed a contract with the demon Alphare, and obtained powerful magic in exchange for his heart.
In fact, this setting is not magical. You can see many similar settings on Weibo, such as "If the price is 30 years of life, who would you choose to become?" Use 30 years for a more exciting life.
They built a house, and Alphard used the remaining magic to maintain the operation of the house. As the residence of the magician Howl, the house can connect several spaces, and it became the "moving castle" in people's mouths.
Howl is not an innocent boy either. He will appear in towns and fall in love with girls, and he will also be dumped. He is involved with the witch of the wilderness, which is also the result of playing the world.
He is still very childish, his bedroom is full of children's toys (I want to make the bedroom like that too, go to tm taste, go to tm style)
and also very narcissistic, will be lost because he is no longer blond hair color collapse.
But even with one flaw or another, Howl is much cuter than a prop prince who only fulfills female fantasies, isn't he?
Moreover, these shortcomings clearly point to a sense of youth! For the old aunt, this is simply a crit.
Now that I think about it, it makes sense for the original author, Diana Wynne Jones, to make Sophie grow old. Otherwise, it would be full of disobedience to change to a naive and unruly beautiful girl to fall in love with Hal.
Sophie's character is immersed and stable, and she wants to be a mature adult. Her sisters have all left home to live their own lives, but Sophie chose to inherit the hat shop and make hats day after day, so that she can see her old age at a glance.
If the Witch of the Wasteland hadn't cursed her to be an old woman because of jealousy, I'm afraid she would have stayed in that hat shop for the rest of her life.
With her 90-year-old body stooped, Sophie found the Moving Castle in the wilderness. After entering the room, she lied that she was a cleaner. In fact, I want to say that Hal should have seen that Sophie was cursed at a glance, and knew that she was the one. The girl who was rescued in the alleyway on the day, otherwise, how could she not know that a stranger came to her house?
By the way, Alphard is so cute eating! The fire demon is a small one, like a small persimmon, and its voice is also tenth-level cute. Thinking about it, the picture of it falling as a meteor was also very beautiful.
The combination of the endless water swamp, the young boy, and the slowly falling meteors in the sky, I simply have to admire the author and director's ability to discover and imagine beautiful pictures.
Grandpa Gong's documentary said that when he was determined to go into the animation industry, he saw a beautiful picture one day and was completely shocked. He sighed that it was so beautiful!
If the film is to record the beauty of the real world, then animation is to integrate the reality and the unrestrained beauty. So there is no distinction between these two forms, mature and naive. Because beauty has no distinction between high and low, noble and low. The difference is the aesthetic level and orientation of the viewers themselves.
Expanded, the text and images are the same. So don't think that reading is more meaningful than watching movies. The level of meaning itself depends on the viewer's own choice and level.
When I was a child, I watched this movie, but I didn't really understand it, because it seemed inexplicable that Sophie grew old and young again.
Thinking about it now, probably when Sophie looked directly into her heart and faced the world with confidence, she would become younger, just like a young girl, expressing her heart aloud, but choosing to move forward bravely.
When she expressed her firm belief in Hal to the great magician Sallyman in the palace, she slowly became young, energetic, and a girl again.
After I understood that scene, I cried aloud one night. I always hoped that I would always be full of courage, that I would always dare to love, that I would never flinch or be afraid.
Because no one thinks that "the heart will die at the age of 20, and it will only be buried at the age of 80."
Well, don't doubt, I really watched it many times, as well as "The Witch's Delivery Service" and "The Cat's Repayment" .
In the end, Sophie used her hair to break the contract between Alphare and Howl, and both the demon and the boy were freed.
It gives me great relief that my old woman Sophie has become a Miyazaki Miyazaki in the general sense, with flying silver short ears and short hair, this is the girl written by Grandpa Gong!
The style of the film is very delicate, and there are a lot of detailed descriptions. I only picked the key points to talk about. If you are interested, I recommend watching it. Smile.jpg
