like a metaphor of life

Watching "My Neighbor Totoro" again, it's not like I watched it when I was a child, and I frequently showed the Japanese-style exaggerated expression. When it dripped onto the nose, it still showed a soft look.

There is a very small point that shakes my heart, that is, the dust spirit like the small briquettes in Spirited Away, which adults cannot see; The eyes of the dust elf can only see dust. like a metaphor of life,

Growing up is a process of seeing the world slowly change from two-dimensional to three-dimensional. When I was a child, the dust I saw was a dust sprite, the willow tree I saw was the long hair of the spring girl, and the stars I saw all wore small hats; growing up The dust you see is the dust that needs to wear a mask, the willow tree is the willow tree that needs to wear a mask, and the stars are just stars if they can be seen. They have all gone from abstract to concrete.

Even so, I still liked the part where Xiaoyue Xiaomei and Dad laughed in the bathtub. Dad said that laughing can scare away bad things! I like it very much, I hope it is also a metaphor for life.
