What I want to share with you today is 1997 The movie " Princess Mononoke".
You may not believe it, this is a classic movie of the same age as " Titanic ". I only watched it for the first time in 2019.
It turns out that the protagonist of "Princess Mononoke" is not Princess Mononoke.
With a sense of misplacement that mistakenly believes the protagonist is Princess Mononoke, watching the entire movie is also a wonderful trip.
"Princess Mononoke" is one of the few works directed by Hayao Miyazaki featuring a male protagonist. Actor Asidaka is also one of the most popular male characters in Hayao Miyazaki's works.
I don’t know if someone has the same feeling as me. When I see the movie halfway, I can’t help but think of the Hollywood science fiction blockbuster directed by Cameron ten years ago-" Avatar_ span14span.
Beautiful unicorn forest, fantastic creatures, and some people struggle with the characters of Cao Yingxin, who really like Japanese anime. Director Cameron was not inspired by "Princess Mononoke", I don't believe it. Regardless of the scene or the storyline, the shadows of each other can be seen more or less in these two movies.
But after watching the whole movie of "Princess Mononoke,"I found that they are still two different movies, because in the depth of thought, "Avatar" is indeed worse than the former by more than an order of magnitude.
What is the difference? Half a cat will take everyone to an in-depth analysis.
Many people said that they did not understand "Mononoke Hime". I think it is necessary to sort out the world view of the movie in order to understand what kind of world it is for " to live". The word becomes so heavy.
Roughly speaking, the world of "Princess Mononoke" is divided into two factions, the forest faction and the human faction . Of course, the world is not so simple. When we adjust to the next precision, we can see different forces separated by different values.
The white wolf tribe represented by Princess Mononoke. They are few in number, brave and good at fighting, and have been fighting against human forces for many years. They are radicals who act steadily in the forest. Although they will even take the initiative when they see the hatred of human beings, they only want to protect the forest, and they don't have the idea of killing all human beings.
are also radicals, and the wild boar clan is holding the banner of protecting the homeland to expand their sphere of influence.
The white pig god who appeared in the second half of the film originally came from "Jianxi".The pig god Nagge, who became the evil god at the beginning, is not the same family, but he brought heavy soldiers to the Qilin Forest. Their arrival is itself a kind of trampling on the forest.
The orangutan clan , who hides under the shadow, grumbles, and wants to eat human flesh and drink human blood, is the so-called "wise man" who has more patience but lacks courage. They dare not confront humans head-on, and will only play tricks once something goes wrong, cursing both the arrogant and domineering humans and the resistance of the wolves into the room. They are the most inactive conservatives in the forest.
There are also bizarre tree elves in the forest. They have terrifying images, but they are harmless. They are fans of the great unicorn beasts and the first batch of unicorn beasts when they are angry. victim. It can be regarded as a harmless neutral in the forest.
On the human side, first is the Ezo represented by the male protagonist Asidaka . Five hundred years ago, he retired after a battle with Yamato The mountains and forests have never recovered since then, living a life of idle clouds and wild cranes, upholding a life attitude of interdependence with nature. They are the neutrals among human beings.
The Dadala tribe outside the forest, maintains their livelihood by operating an iron smelter. They drove the mountains and felled trees, and therefore formed a hatred with the forest faction. Although they have been asking for it from the forest, it was not excessive. The reason for picking up weapons was mostly for their own safety. On the one hand, we must deal with sneak attacks from the forest, on the other hand, we must also guard against the imperial court’s concern about the iron smelter.They are conservatives among humans who dare to head-on and are not easy to provoke.
Luo Umbrella School , they wear red monk robe, hold a red umbrella even if it rains, which is the mysterious force where the knotty monk is, the radical mankind The pie, under its banner, also has the Musketeers stationed in Dadara, and mountain guides who will pretend to be beasts. They loaned the Musketeers to the Dadala tribe to resist the wild beasts, on condition that they strangle the Qilin Beast, the patron saint of the forest. The Luo umbrella faction can be said to be the real murderer of the unicorn beast.
The samurai sent by Houye Asano, they represent the contemporary imperious and greedy court, because the Dardala tribe did not agree to give up half of the iron ore, so The factory launched an encirclement and suppression campaign. Judging from the dress, the film chased the monk at the beginning and burned and killed the samurai who looted the villagers. They were also the minions of the imperial court.
Although the factions are chaotic and the values are disintegrated, it is not difficult to find whether the Forest School or the Human School, they are actually the most familiar beings around us. All are adhering to their own way " live ".
To live is a proposition that every life has to solve, but cannot find a standard formula to solve it. is also the subject of the movie mentioned three times by the actor Asidaka.
Next, I will increase the accuracy again, and specifically analyze how the main characters in the film answer the proposition of "live".
Zhushenyi
Zhushenyi from Zhenxi has lived more than five hundred years old, his eyes are dim, and he has led the people away from home in the Qilin Forest Knowing that mankind has laid a trap, he still chose to attack frontally, rushing to the enemy indefinitely, using the honor of the race as a shield, and consuming precious lives willfully. Then he completely lost himself in front of the humans in wild boar skins, was superstitious, misunderstood the meaning of life, and completed the last part of the journey of life with hatred.
The wild boars also love the forest, but this love is possessive and trampling. They never thought about sharing the forest with humans, or even with other creatures. . That's why the pig herd questioned whether the white wolf god had swallowed the unicorn beast in the center of the forest. If they can win in the end, such a victory is no different from a human victory , in the end, they are just a reflection of human beings in the forest.
Dadala female head magic girl-also translated as black hat adult
magic girl is perhaps the most controversial role in the film. So I will say a few more words. The shot she fired at the wild boar god led to the reincarnation of the evil god and led to the curse of Asidaka.
The tribe she led opened mountains and felled trees in the forest, provoking a dispute between humans and the forest, and forged a bloody feud with the White Wolf tribe. She insisted on going her own way, raising the rock rocket and shooting down the head of the unicorn beast, causing the catastrophe of the forest and the destruction of the iron smelter.
sitting outside the screen,We have 10,000 reasons to spurn the fantasy girl, but if we substitute the perspective of the Dadala tribe, it will be different.
The two armies are facing each other. Either you die or I live. Shooting the pig god is an ordinary self-defense. The reason why Magic Fairy has been able to survive all the time is because of her tough wrists at all costs, letting Magic Fairy put down the weapons in her hand is equivalent to letting the Daddala tribe give up her life. What kind of persuasion is this, it's naked at all. Moral kidnapping.
The disputes between humans and forests that seem to have been provoked by the iron smelter are nothing but the innate game between man and nature, and also the game between heaven and earth and nature. Some people say that the forest is the home of animals, but don’t forget that the forest is also the home of humans. Humans are not born between steel and concrete. Humans were once the children of the forest. Like the animals in the forest, they also enjoy the gifts of nature. The only difference is measurement and measurement. Although the magic girls are mining the resources of the forest, they haven't completely killed the forest, have they?
Magic Ji's most intolerable behavior is to shoot the unicorn beast.
The motivation is to protect the tribe due to an agreement of the Luo Sanpai. But it is also a killer, but Asidaka has not been criticized.
I don't know if you have found out, the author deliberately arranged the beginning and end of a duo pair. Asidaka kills the gods, and Magic Ji also kills the gods. Cthulhu can bring desolation, mountain beast god can bring greater desolation. The killer was met with retribution, so Asidaka's arm was cursed, and Magic Ji's arm was bitten by the white wolf, and they were all right arms.
If Asidaka can be forgiven, then what is wrong with Magic Ji? Human beings win a place in nature by virtue of their hard work and wisdom,What's wrong? This is not above the jungle law of survival of the natural selection of the fittest.
And Magic Ji led Daddara's compatriots to live a better life with wisdom, courage and courage. Even if they lose their arms and their homes, they still inspire the perseverance of the tribe’s comeback. Isn’t it true to "live" these three Is the best word of praise?
Mona the White Wolf God
Mona is the most rebellious character in the whole film. At the beginning, she resisted all opinions and took in the abandoned infants of mankind. Against the resistance from all sides, she insisted on raising Shan to grow up. While she hates humans, she has pity on them.
She is again the most off-topic in the movie. When everyone was thinking about how to live, she had already planned how to die. Her body had the same musket bullet as the Pig God, but the difference was that she was not afraid of death, and faced her own death squarely. He didn't pray to the unicorn beast for help, and was willing to give up this immortal body.
Therefore, Mona is more like the biggest villain in the movie, because her disappointment in the current world is deep-rooted, and she doesn't think the world can get better. So when Asidaka said that she could live with Shan, she frantically laughed at each other's naivety and innocence. With her memory of confronting humans for many years, it is difficult to imagine such a scene. It wasn't until Asidaka exchanged his own trust with actual actions that when the evil god threatened Shan's life, he entrusted the young man with the right to give birth to his daughter.
Mona was satisfied before she died. Not only did she avenge her revenge, she also found the home of her daughter's soul.
heroine Princess Mononoke
Shan who was abandoned by her parents in the baby,She was adopted by the white wolf god Mona in the Qilin Forest when she didn't know how warm the world was. When he grows up, he sees himself as a member of the White Wolf and is determined to coexist and die with the forest.
However, being neither a person nor a wolf is her most miserable and unfair destiny. Shan has his own inner choices, but he is not accepted by the forest and humans. Her way of living since she was young is to habitually show her hatred of human beings, otherwise she would be the object of hatred.
It can be said that at the beginning, Shan and the white wolf god Mona have almost the same thinking form-life is nothing to love. The death squad-style rush is the iconic attack form of the White Wolf clan. The confidence that has already set aside life and death comes from the passion of coexisting and dying with the forest, fighting for the forest, and dying for the forest.
However, this point was changed by Asidaka. It is the words from the bottom of the heart before dying-you are so beautiful. Jean Shan has nostalgia for life again. Before that, Shan was a skin with the wrong soul, and the forest could not recognize her beauty, let alone appreciate her beauty. At the same time, for humans, she is just a dangerous signal, a messenger of death. But after the night when the sneak attack failed, she became a fetter of others. Because someone wants her to live.
Survival may be one of Shan’s least thoughtful questions, but at the end of the film, when she gently nodded and promised Asidaka to live together, I believe it was serious.
actor Asidaka
The young man from the Ezo tribe once said that he wants to "live the world" three times. For hope, even with the torment of cursing voodoo, even if there are so many conflicting values in the world. He still retains this commendable persistence.
Asidaka, the star of the sword eyebrow, carries such a powerful heroic spirit,Be brave to fight for justice, weigh the pros and cons, bear restraint, break through the siege single-handedly, and rush to fate and perish. I have never dared to think more about myself. From the beginning to the end, I am mediating the anger of all parties, always standing in the middle of the scales, and asking questions more than once-can humans and forests not coexist?
Asidaka is preaching to all beings that he was born in the deep-rooted values of the Ezo tribe. However, the most difficult thing in the world is to put the thoughts in one's head into the heads of others.
At the end of the video, I am very thankful that the world has not changed much because of Asidaka's own power. Princess Mononoke still chooses to stay and guard the forest; Magic Princess is determined to reorganize her homeland and is bound to make a big start; Monk Monk hinted that she would make a comeback. So the movie is fortunate not to fall into the stereotypes of superhero movies.
The biggest change is that the curse of Asidaka has been lifted.
It is not difficult to see that the curse means the demon of hatred, hatred can make people powerful, and can also make people lose their minds, and the same is true for gods. Asidaka opened his palm and saw the empty palm that had faded its mark. It seemed that he wanted to show that if you want to live together, you should not think about what to pick up, but what to put down.
Mountain Beast God Qilin Beast
Mountain Beast God Qilin Beast of Qilin Forest, the lord of the forest who maintains the balance of all things, just encompasses everything in silence, watching everything.
The vegetation will grow on the ground the unicorn beast has stepped on, and when it leaves, the vegetation will wither. Each step symbolizes a cycle of natural life.
The unicorn beast is not so much the god of life and death, it is better to say that the unicorn beast is the god of balance.And life and death are nothing but the conservation of energy. When the unicorn beast loses its head, it loses its balance, and death pouring out, until the head is retrieved, the land is barren and green again.
Although Qilin Beast is in the forest, he does not have a real position in his chest. Some are just changing from one to the other. The Pig God B blames the Qilin Beast for not giving help to the wild boars, but saves Asida who is a human being. Ka, he thinks Qilin Beast is his patron saint. In fact, he was wrong, everyone understood it wrong. Qilin Beast is not the patron saint of the forest, nor the patron saint of mankind, he is the patron saint of balance rule .
Tracing back to the root, nature’s laws of survival and competition are inherently cruel. This law regards the survival of the fittest as a natural principle, maintains the balance of all things in a harsh way, and promotes the evolution of life.
balance is absolute and relative. Energy is conserved, but individual differences are also inevitable. All life groups restrict and promote each other in the competition for survival. Although there is also a saying that the weak eats the strong, no one group has an absolute advantage-it is not easy to live, and everyone is digesting their own experiences and misfortunes. .
Therefore, the important thing is not how to live, but to live "together".
Finally, let’s end with the lyrics of the theme song of "Princess Mononoke." It is also a very good song. I suggest you listen to
The full bow is the trembling string
The noise under the moonlight is your heart
The sharp and beautiful blade is like your sharp silhouette_ p1p
hides sadness and anger
only the ghosts in the forest can know your heart
ghosts only
