Chihiro and Chihiro Film Review

Spirited Away-Warming the Reality with Imagination

In 200 1 year, Miyazaki Hayao completed his brand-new animated film Spirited Away, and at the same time set a new box office record in Japanese film history. In the eyes of happy businessmen, the only parameter to evaluate Miyazaki Hayao's creativity is naked material accumulation, and paper money determines everything. Miyazaki Hayao is a cash cow. Does he do business?

In 200 1 year, Miyazaki Hayao still adhered to his own hand-painted principle, silently resisted the rampant machine processing industry and practiced the artistic principle; Never repeat the past story in Spirited Away; Adhere to the creative concept that has never changed. He doubted what human beings had done, and kept introspection in doubt. He tried to complete his mental journey in his creation, so growing up in Spirited Away became his more realistic thinking. There is no doubt that Miyazaki Hayao is an out-and-out artist, but can he find a realistic way out in his own fairy tale world?

In 200 1 year, I stood in the east of Zhujiang New Town and watched the sunset as usual. Simple houses were replaced by noble houses, dirt roads disappeared on straight and wide cement roads, and vegetable fields were decorated with artificial lawns. I feel nothing, but I turn my head like a "civet cat", eager to find back the happiness of the past. Behind him is Joe Hisaishi's symphonic poem for Princess Ghost, and the sadness and lyricism in the East surge, although, on the surface, this is not an era suitable for sadness and lyricism.

In Miyazaki Hayao's animation world, he left innocence to children and attached heavy thoughts to impure adults. So, Miyazaki Hayao, children and adults with fear, used their imagination together.

The story of Spirited Away.

Different from the theme of Miyazaki Hayao's creation in the first 20 years, Spirited Away has no war, and does not focus on the return of the countryside and the confrontation between man and nature. This is a simple story about growing up.

A wayward and delicate little girl accidentally lost herself in the home of Tang, the capital of desire. My parents became pigs because they couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food, and their names were stolen by Tang. She became a Chihiro, wandering outside the world for no reason, so Chihiro wanted to find her original Chihiro and save her parents.

In the hardships that must be experienced, Qian learned to be patient (doing the hard work arranged by Tang without complaint); Learned to respect (help dirty Luo Shen wash away dirt); Be kind to ordinary people (let masked people who have no roots drift have a shelter from the wind and rain); Be honest (help Mr. Bai return his stolen treasures); Find your own love (find a long-lost name for teacher Bai); Fulfill one's promise (to make parents human again).

Miyazaki Hayao completed a strange initiation ceremony with the inherent virtues of the East, and the other two branches extended from the main story of Chihiro.

The story of the masked man-the wandering masked man accidentally walked into the house of desire. He ate greedily. He didn't know that his body would die in the expansion, so he fled this world full of desires with a kind heart.

Don's baby story-if there is no money, the baby will be locked in the cradle forever and can't see the scenery. He has an adult body, an impossible head and an accident. The enchanted baby can take a short trip with the money. He finally understood that there were no terrible germs in the outside world. Growth needs a vast world.

The tracks were out of the water, and the train appeared on time and headed for another well-meaning corner. Thousands of masked men and babies quietly waited for their lights in the dark night, until a faint light came on in the distance.

In such a plot, Miyazaki Hayao began to find a reasonable ending for her story. Qian stood in front of Tang. The problem she faced was to find her parents among a group of identical pigs.

Qian said: They are not here at all.

As a result, the spell attached to Qian disappeared automatically, and Qian got her name again from Tang. She has completed her mental journey and can return to the world.

At this moment, Miyazaki Hayao sublimated mowgli's children's words into proverbs that opened the door to the world. Perhaps this is why Japanese director Yasujirō Ozu wrote the word "nothing" on the epitaph all his life, responded to the original pure world with a pure heart, and made everything calm.

Out of Tang's home, parents have forgotten what happened, because they have too many desires and only left a mark in their lives. In the unknown of parents (symbolizing human beings), the child's mind matures quietly, and the world smiles silently.

In Spirited Away, war is metaphorically regarded as the pain of the soul, which is naturally replaced by innocence. The ancient buildings that have gone far away in the movie are a trace of melancholy for Miyazaki Hayao to return to his rural life, and he can't go back after all.

Everyone cannot avoid growing up. Tired of the confrontation between man and nature, Miyazaki Hayao returned to the real world. He decided to use the theme of growing up to realize his doubts about the world, which is different from expressing the opposition between man and nature in doubt. What he wants to say this time is that if everyone is "thousand", man and nature will be pure and integrated.

And I want to ask, will Miyazaki Hayao feel more helpless and sad at this time than in Peace of the Beaver?

In the world of yin and yang, her names are Chihiro and Chihiro respectively.

Tang is a professional manager. She is a witch. She is very talented in management. Her business is built on the ruins of a Japanese theme park-an ultra-luxurious bathing center: for the immortals to have fun and earn money from them. I didn't expect the fairy to be like this?

Chihiro is a ten-year-old girl. She moved with her parents once, probably because of their job transfer. Dad drove a luxury four-wheel drive Audi car and was confident in taking the mountain road ... so he broke into Tang's sphere of influence, which is a place where humans are not allowed to enter.

Yes, I'm Spirited Away. Because of this, Miyazaki Hayao, a Japanese animation master, really became famous all over the world, although he was also excellent before that. In fact, the story structure itself is very "Hollywood", but the expression is completely oriental. Let's see:

Chihiro and his family circled around the mountain road. They don't know that they have broken into heaven (another world). On the roadside, there stands a stone Buddha: like a smile, like a bulge, with a mysterious omen of the East-all this was noticed by Chihiro sitting in the back seat.

Similarly, in the middle of the entrance to the celestial world, stands a stone Buddha, and it is a double-sided stone Buddha. Because of it, the family abandoned the car and walked. Here, the stone Buddha is a hint or warning: Chihiro repeatedly begged his parents not to move forward, but to no avail.

After entering the fairyland, it is really another world. There is no one in the street. Mottled walls and numerous markets look like an abandoned city, because it is daytime and fairies are still sleeping. On a street, Chihiro's father found a snack street, which was steaming and full of beautiful things, but there were no sellers, so his parents began to help themselves. Dad also said: I have plenty of credit cards and cash. At this time, in Chihiro's eyes, there was tension and crisis everywhere. She repeatedly begged her parents to stop eating and leave quickly. Of course, all this still does not help.

Chihiro was walking alone in an empty city, feeling nervous, and it was getting dark. Suddenly, a boy with lavender hair appeared before him. He said to Chihiro, this is not where you came from. Let's go, we can't get out after dark. Chihiro flew to the snack street, and her parents became two greedy pigs. Panicked Chihiro ran around for a while, but a small river blocked her retreat.

It was completely dark, and Chihiro was isolated from the other world, including her parents who had become fat pigs. It's just that her name is not Chihiro anymore. Her name has been stripped by Don. Her name is Chihiro, and her new friends call him Hanazono Sakura.

Connected with the article, just when Hanazono Sakura was completely desperate, her body began to become transparent. She couldn't help crying. The boy with lavender hair appeared. He is a white dragon and has forgotten his name. Bailong gave Xiaoqian a medicine, and Hanazono Sakura's body became real again.

Nightlife began, and the whole heaven (the underworld) was lit up. A ship landed slowly, brightly lit. It is the gods who come from afar to have fun. At this time, the scene has a strong sense of oriental ceremony: immortals dressed in ancient costumes (like China's Tang suit) float ashore like a court, and it seems that they are still greeting: Have you eaten? The picture is warm and there is no yin at all.

Bailong told Hanazono Sakura that she had to find a job and try to go back slowly. So, with the help of Bailong, Grandpa Boiler and Xiaoling, Hanazono Sakura began to take a bath, which was all dirty work. Some are like the overseas life of international students! During the period, she arranged the funeral for the stinking river god, helped the unscrupulous people to turn over a new leaf, and helped Tang's twin sister Qian and a kind witch find the seal. Of course, more importantly, Hanazono Sakura and Bailong, young men and women, helped each other through many difficulties because of their love.

At the end of the movie, Chihiro (she started calling Chihiro again) and her parents fled the bath center and returned to this world. At the city gate, the double-sided stone buddhas are still there, but their cars are covered with dead leaves and branches. One day in heaven, ten years on earth, who knows how long they have been gone?

Spirited Away was a great success, winning prizes and breaking box office records. Of course, his superb animation skills are indispensable, but more importantly, the world he created is exactly what people yearn for: singing and dancing, happy as a fairy! As human beings, everyone has a better expectation for the afterlife, which is the underworld, isn't it? Don't countless lovers swear to each other like this: we are still husband and wife in the afterlife!

I believe that most people think the same as me: first of all, we are not superstitious, and we can almost say that we believe in science. Since there are "matter" and "antimatter" in the microphysical world, and everything has two sides on the philosophical level, there are "yin" and "yang", why don't we believe that there is no underworld except the dead world in which we live? Even if it is our simple yearning for the afterlife!

For me, the luxurious bath center in Spirited Away is my expectation for the afterlife: every night in another world, there are hot springs, wine and geisha. I hope our ancestors are enjoying it now. Moreover, I also hope that there will be a one-legged lamp to welcome guests in the afterlife: when a friend visits, it can jump over and attract a lovely person, and then hang it in front of the hospital. ...

In addition, Spirited Away gave us a strong evidence to prove this simple yearning: in the underworld, people are smelly and terrible! -just like our ill feelings towards the underworld!

In any case, it is natural that Spirited Away firmly grasps the psychology of the audience and will succeed in art and business. In addition, after the completion of Spirited Away, its shooting scenes and studios will become famous Japanese tourist attractions. Alas, you have to make money in the end!
