I'm going to write the girl images in Miyazaki Hayao animated films as my graduation thesis. At first, I'm a little confused. I don't know how to write an outline. Please give me some advice! .

Animation, as a unique artistic style with independent aesthetic consciousness, has gained universal development in the world since it was gradually established in the early 20th century, and has made brilliant achievements, resulting in many animated works with distinctive personalities and outstanding animators. However, Miyazaki Hayao, a Japanese animation master, occupies a proud position in this field with his strong poetic and subtle meaning in the eastern world, meaningful dialogue with modern industrial society and simple and touching implicit feelings.

Looking at Miyazaki Hayao's personal works, from 1984 (Valley of the Wind) to his latest masterpiece (Hal's Moving Castle) in 2005, his creative path is a process of development. The continuous diversification of his position makes his view of good and evil complete but not absolute, the continuous growth of his age makes him show profound and broad love, and the continuous investment of his feelings makes his characters fresh and have a strong sense of existence.

Speaking of the characters in Miyazaki Hayao's cartoon works, a series of girl images will naturally emerge. From flawless Nawosika (Valley of the Wind) to Chihiro (Dry Search), from persistent and brave Moon Island (Listen to your ears), to always letting memories control your beauty (Fairy Tales of the Years), from proud, elegant and optimistic glory (Lu Bang III. Miyazaki Hayao's animation works almost contain all kinds of girl images. Just like the great Russian writer Turgenev, he also has a beautiful "girl gallery" belonging to the whole art world.

These "Miyazaki Hayao girls" have vitality of life, innocence that adults don't have, and curious eyes to explore the world. These girls who have not been invaded by secular values are as spotless as the newly opened lilies. They may feel a little scared and depressed when they encounter problems, but they can adjust their mentality quickly. Or rebuild confidence and overcome difficulties; Or face it bravely through the inspiration of others. They have the clearest eyes, they cherish every life, they follow the truest intuition, they don't talk about saving mankind, but they have the greatest wisdom. Perhaps it is precisely because these girls are not divorced from nature that they can blend in with nature, become friends with everything and see places that adults can't see. I have to admit that there are many similarities between Miyazaki Hayao's character modeling and personality modeling, but in my opinion, the significance of this pattern does not mean that his talent is exhausted, because this concept naturally continues in every work and constitutes the overall style of his works. These female characters all have "sincere and unchanging principles of life, kind and firm eyes, strong hometown complex and a desire for adventure", which have integrated Miyazaki Hayao's creative ideas.

Miyazaki Hayao's films are very partial to the image of girls. From an objective point of view, compared with men, women not only have rich external beauty, but also have internal strength, nature and charm. Women's own charm determines that she is more suitable for people's visual appreciation. Therefore, works of art "often use the fate of women to express the artist's thinking. Women occupy an angle for artists to observe society, and also include a unique way for artists to explain society "(Yang's Ten Directors of Films, Zhejiang Photography Publishing House, 2000). Young girls among women are the most beautiful group. Whether it is a developing body or a half-mature soul, it is full of endless fragrance and sweetness. Women at this stage can undoubtedly have any femininity. However, girls in Miyazaki Hayao are placed in a specific time and space background, and often shoulder the pursuit of the world, environment and nature, as well as the philosophical discussion of life, life and dreams. Therefore, they are not destined to exist simply as girls.

In Spirited Away, Chihiro, a young girl, always played the role of the weak at first, with slender limbs and blank eyes. Under the protection of Bailong and Grandpa Boiler, she lives in a different world. Here, she lost her name She is no longer a "Chihiro" protected by her parents' wings, but a "Hanazono Sakura" who needs to save her parents through working life. In the real world, although the name is just a code name, in fact, the two tokens representing identity and value in human society are "name" and "seal". People inherit the names given by their parents at birth. Among them, "surname" is a family emblem handed down from generation to generation, and "name" is a symbol of parents' expectations and self-lifelong efforts, both in China and Japan. The first thing a prisoner does when he enters prison is to lose his name. Replace the "dignity" of a name with a set of numbers. Yes, I lost my name, just a symbol. An agent without personal will represents all the values of natural human rights, which have been deprived by a "symbol" or "agent". In the film, the meaning of the name is even more significant. It represents the independence of the individual. Bailong lost himself because he lost his name. The reason why Tang Popo changed the name of "Gan Xun" to "Hanazono Sakura" was to distort the attribute of his independent personality with general appellation.

But in fact, in a different world, Chihiro is no longer Chihiro, and she needs reasons to grow up quickly. Almost all the girls in Miyazaki Hayao's cartoons have matured after such a "gale". Chihiro, which has both human rationality and natural spirituality, has inspired her strong vitality. Her appearance is still fragile, but her heart is firm. It can be said that there is rigidity in softness. Her simplicity can directly confront other people's hearts through the fog of fear and desire, finally find her own name, find the value of labor and love, restore her vitality, and save herself and others.

When Tang cursed: "You are willful, crying and stupid, so useless, what can you do?" Chihiro resisted all his fears and didn't shed a tear. He just begged again and again, "I want to work here." Finally, even the ferocious Tang nodded helplessly. This is the will and courage to run in the hopeless darkness with the faith in my heart. In our world, young people who have the ability, ideas and dreams need this persistence most. They want to jump ship as soon as their work is not going well, but there is no chance to jump ship anywhere. Those middle-level leaders can't tolerate newcomers being more capable than themselves, and young people dare not stick to their dreams. They dare to resign, but they dare not overstep their ranks. However, Chihiro, a "child" in a large population, persisted and finally got a job opportunity.

When Chihiro put his bloody palm on the doll's face and asked, "Are you afraid? Are you afraid?" At that time, the expression was serious, and it was this sentence that brought the doll who always believed that there was a virus "outside" to the vast world. That chubby doll feels like China's only son born in 1980s. Growing up in the doting of her parents, she was instilled with the idea that "the outside world is terrible, and only the embrace of mom and dad is the eternal home". Pass the buck, evade obligations, and refuse to grow. Or always rely on relatives, or make stupid so-called' rebellious' actions. Only the body will grow forever and remain a doll in the spiritual world. They need to ask, "Are you afraid? What are you afraid of! "

Chihiro refused Kaonashi's gold, specifically; You can't give me what I want! "Kaonashi was confused, but it gave us a heavy problem. A young girl knows her purpose and requirements. What about adults? In a mediocre life, how many people still remember their lofty aspirations and persistent pursuit? Who can shout: "What I want is ..."? Kaonashi has no face, and his strengths and weaknesses come from the guidance and subtle influence of others. But humans are different. God gave human a face, but human beings put on various masks for it, and finally mixed their true selves in a pile of masks and never found them again.

What was changed by Chihiro's words was the purple-haired boy-White Dragon. Chihiro leaned over Bailong's ear and gently read "Your real name is Amber Chuan". At that moment, the scales of the white dragon peeled off and pieces of silvery white were flying in the air. Accompanied by tears of happiness, the background music is clear and pure "island singing" (a folk song form in Okinawa, Japan). Moved, I can't help thinking. In this real world, how many people need this kind of advice! If a person can't find his true self in his life, it is doomed to be forever sad, because losing himself is equivalent to a wandering soul in the world. He only knows his loneliness and loss, but he doesn't know how to enrich the meaning of life. And to know who I really am, from my name to my own value, and then to my accurate position in social life, how I look forward to a definite sentence to point out the direction in this long process!

Where are the other girls? There are also ghost princesses who are willing to live in the forest forever in return for Mother Nature, musical girls who follow the established lifestyle in pursuit of ideals, and messenger witches who continue to fly for friendship and affection. Although in the end, they all deviated more or less from the basic behaviors and emotions of ordinary girls. But their alienation stems from their inner selflessness, kindness and strength, from a heart that protects the world and nature, and from their deep love for the future and dreams.

In fact, Miyazaki Hayao's girls are not complicated. They are as simple as a newborn baby staring at the green grass and the blue sky alone in the bright sunshine. In clear eyes, you can still filter the poetry of this world and still believe in the beauty of this world. But if we think they are simple, then we are wrong again. We always think that girls' hearts are fragile and immature. But when we see their perseverance, calmness and tolerance when facing the world. I have to admit, as adults, how much we want to be those girls-our dreams never die. When adults learn to give up and compromise because of suffering and learn to fight against each other, "the girls in Miyazaki Hayao always stand up silently to save the world. They are always so quiet and simple, naturally like the breeze blowing in the fields in the morning, and they keep gentle and elegant manners under pressure, but they never know how to pose proudly. In fact, they have always been just one person, whether they are little witches riding brooms or female warriors who lay down their lives to protect the Queen Mother, they have always been just the children who never died in Miyazaki Hayao's heart. He used his animation to call him out, and also tried to call out the children in our hearts, so that we could see how much we longed for peace and love in our hearts.
