Breaking news
According to bu jili employees, although the retired gong lao said that he would not interject, he often couldn't help but point fingers at the works being produced, except for "Marnie in Memory", because this is not the story of boys and girls that Gong Lao is good at, and Suzuki, a Ghibli employee, laughed and said that it was all within his calculations.
However, Miyazaki's grandfather still highly recognized the director Mibayashi Hiromasa, and Takada praised the director as the leader of Studio Ghibli after the old man.
depression
At the beginning of the film, Asano is painting alone in the corner, with a melancholy look, obviously out of place with the atmosphere of playing around her.
"What is your dream?" Be an ordinary person", this is the voice in Xingna's heart, and people's hearts sink.
The teacher came to communicate with her, but suddenly there was a child crying next to her, and the teacher turned to comfort her. And here, Xingna, who had only plucked up the courage to answer for half a day, felt that she was ignored, and suddenly her depression broke out and she fainted on the ground.
Intense emotions lead to asthma attacks
Turning
After waking up, Asuna heard the doctor talking to her "aunt" about her condition, and she didn't know which sentence she heard made her expression more and more disgusted.
In the end, the doctor suggested that Asano go to the countryside for a period of recuperation, and the plot began to turn from here, and the scene cut to the countryside of Hokkaido.
You will be greeted by rolling woods, country roads, cozy wooden houses, the winding bays of the North Sea...... It is said that in order to restore the pearl-colored sky in the original, the director team deliberately went to Hokkaido to shoot, and I have to say that the picture of the Ghibli movie is too healing!
meet
While wandering around the countryside, Apricot Blossom Na stumbled upon a large mansion, which was in a wetland, apparently uninhabited for a long time, and the house was covered with cobwebs, but the place gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
After returning to her relatives' house, she asked about the wetland mansion, and they told her that it was best not to go near, and joked that it was haunted.
I really can't help but nag, that night Because of some things depression attack, the mood ran out of control to the wetland, ignorant and unconscious rowing to the side of the house, the young girl Mani also seemed to know that she was coming, as if she had known her for a long time, Xingnai was full of curiosity about her, but full of trust, they naturally talked.
In the next few times, there were people in the apricot narai wetland mansion, and once a grand party was held. And Marnie also told her that she could only be found here after the afternoon, which was a secret for the two of them and could not be told to anyone else.
My girlfriend and I are actually quite scared here, but we can't contain our curiosity. Spoilers a little, the wetland mansion is the main plot line of this film, there is no haunting, just the time and space interlacing technique commonly used in Japanese comic movies, similar to "5 centimeters per second" and "Your Name".
First meeting
Life
After meeting Marnie, Asuna, who has never had friends, gradually became cheerful, and her heart also had a confession. Asuna is a 12-year-old girl whose parents died since she was a child, and her grandmother died two years after raising her. She tells Marnie that she is a child that no one loves, and that Aunt Laizi adopted her only for government adoption money. Over the years, she carried this stereotype and eventually became depressed.
As an early child, Xingna is indeed very able to touch the hearts of mothers in front of the screen. In the tens of seconds flashed in the film, The apricot in her childhood was raised by her grandmother, and in a small house, her grandmother fed her food and slept, and the picture was both warm and lonely. The two grandchildren who depend on each other for their lives, one is a tooth and teeth, and the other is dying. Relatively speaking, Marnie is happy again, her adoptive parents have always loved her, and the film finally resolves the contradiction.
Childhood Anna
Marni
The overall tone of the film is lonely but not sad, and the healing rice fields and countryside, rustic people, neutralize this atmosphere. The protagonist Asuna's ending is also very beautiful, and the "Miyazaki Hayao-style" inspirational ending.
The only person in the audience's heart that "can't let go" is Marnie, whose life is almost lonely and bitter, only a very short period of sweetness. When Marnie's life is only displayed in front of the screen in three minutes, just a beautiful girl who is ignorant of purity, the camera turns into a vicissitudes and lonely mother-in-law. The only husband who loves him died early, his daughter died in a car accident, and he left his young niece alone, which makes people feel sad and regretful. Can't help but feel that this is a person's life!

Life is like a play, and a play is like life
Looking at life through movies, what touches you is often a similar plot that is mapped to yourself.
Xing Naiyin misunderstood that her adoptive parents were raising her for money, mental depression caused asthma, fortunately, the heart knot was finally solved; Marnie's husband and daughter left her one after another, she made up her mind to raise her granddaughter, but her heart was depressed, and finally she was depressed.
Life is really, very short, and I often think back to what I was doing for ten years. Why have you been so entangled and troubled? In retrospect, my mind was blank, either I was open-minded or I had a bad memory.
But I hope to be open-minded, leaving us with little time to enjoy happiness, one does not pay attention to the half of life, it is good to keep a little blunt feeling, quickly forget the unhappiness, failure continues to challenge.
