You are so accustomed to this world that you will not be surprised by anything. Then try to be a surprised bug - life is infinitely small, but equally infinitely grand.
" Spirited Away " is an animated film directed by Hayao Miyazaki . It was released in 2001. It has received a lot of praise since its release. It won the 75th Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film. piece. It was released again in mainland China in 2019. Some people say that being able to see this movie is a blessing in this era.
No one will really understand "Spirited Away". At different ages, we will have different interpretations of this movie. Everyone's maturity is to constantly look back at the silly self they once were. But a good movie is a gift in life. Every time you watch it, it is like opening a new blind box. You never know what is in the next box.
The background of this movie takes place in Japan during the bubble economy. Hayao Miyazaki also wanted to use this movie to warn people at that time not to lose themselves, and not to let Japan go further down the road of loss.
The film begins with Chihiro's car entering a fork in the road, which means that Japan's economy has begun to change course. Chihiro's parents were also representatives of adults under the Japanese bubble economy of that period. They were driving at high speed on unexplored roads, blindly exploring, greedily exploiting, and knowing that the "food" they should not eat was eaten by Yubaba has become a pig.
Qianxun’s experience represents the theme of this movie - from losing myself to searching for myself and growing up. At the beginning of the film, Qianxun was a timid and ungrateful little girl. She didn't know how to say thank you to the boiler grandpa who helped her, but she didn't know how to be polite to Granny Yu. But as she slowly experienced in the soup house, she learned to be strong and polite. She knew how to board the non-return water train for her friends. What changed her? Maybe it's Bailong 's help without asking for anything in return, maybe it's the kindness of Grandpa Boiler, maybe it's Xiaoling's meticulous care of her. In general, it is love in that illusory world.
Maybe in childhood we needed a friend like Bai Long to accompany us crazy, accompany us to make trouble, stand up when we are in danger, stand in front of us and protect us. Rather than saying that Bailong is the guardian of Qianxun in that world, it is better to say that the appearance of Qianxun allowed Bailong to find himself. In order to learn magic, he was used by Yubaba to do all kinds of bad things. He lost his name and his memory.
If you think about it carefully, he is not who we were when we were lost. As we grow older, we become more and more accustomed to this world and society, learn various routines, and make some choices that we thought were right at the time, but were actually wrong.
The conversation with Qianxun in the air made him retreat his wings, escape from the confinement of Yubaba, and find his former self. The final goodbye to Qianxun made me understand that some goodbyes may mean we will never see each other again.
Did the appearance of the faceless man make you see through the loneliness behind his mask? The first time Qianxun met the faceless man was on the bridge at the soup house. No one paid attention to him at that time, only Qianxun glanced at him. The second time she met Qianxun, she nodded and thanked him. Maybe it was this simple gesture that warmed the faceless man's heart.
Qianxun needed a sign for medicinal bath when bathing the River God. The Faceless Man conjured up a bunch of them for her, but Qianxun refused. The Faceless Man showed a disappointed look. The faceless man saw that the people in the soup house liked gold, so he conjured up a pile of gold and gave it to Qianxun, but he was rejected again.
Chihiro's rejection increased the faceless man's desire, so he kept eating, and kept eating. The more he ate, the more loneliness he felt in the past, and the more desire he had in his heart. many. Money can buy friends, but it can't take away the loneliness in your heart.
faceless man is like a young man who has just entered the society. He is not paid attention to and ignored by others, so he hides a lot of loneliness in his heart. As long as he meets someone who treats him well, he will try his best to express the love that he has nowhere to release. But after being rejected, this love turns into greedy desire.
In the end, Qianxun gave the river god's pill to the faceless man. This pill was exchanged by Qianxun for her kindness and innocence. It is the crystallization of kindness. After the faceless man took the pill, he vomited out all the food (desire) in his stomach. In other words, as a cliché: Greedy desires are worthless in the face of pure kindness.
There are also many educational characters in the film. For example, Granny Tang is a bureaucratic class who is greedy for money and oppresses workers, but her twin sister Granny Qian is completely different from him. Giant babies are children in the greenhouse who are spoiled by their parents. Their parents take great care of them, but forget that what they need most is to make their own way in the world. The working people who were oppressed this time by Boiler Grandpa are still young and have three heads and six arms, and they work hard every day. Xiaoling is one of those young people who work diligently, caring about the outside world, and full of longing for the unknown.
Spirited Away: Thousand Points refers to us who have been lost. Qianxun is searching thousands of times, just to find his former self.
We are not Qianxun, and everyone has never had such a trip. We are searching for ourselves on the road of self-lostness, searching for ourselves on the road of self-insignificance, and we have become brave and strong from the initial weakness. Along the way, we gain family affection, friendship, and love. Our small actions may change others and even help them find their former selves.
Life is like that water train that does not go back and forth. Someone will get off the train in the middle, and someone will ride with you to the end. Growth is always accompanied by loss. Even if you are nostalgic, don't look back, because no road is without wind and waves. There will be loneliness, sadness, and hope.
I hope you understand the chance and nothingness of life and still be willing to go for it.
I hope your eyes will still be clear and bright after seeing all kinds of scenery.
Look forward, keep going, don’t look back!
