#千与千寻 #
Have you noticed that in the plot, Grandma Tang has been busy with work and busy, while Grandma Qian has been enjoying a leisurely life. Wasn't the original setting "Everyone has to have a job or they'll be eliminated by the world?" In addition, why did Grandma Tang want to steal the seal of Grandma Qian? What kind of existence is a faceless man? What is the final ending of the White Dragon... This article will "root out these questions" and let you have a new understanding of Grandma Tang and Grandma Qian.
"Spirited Away" is indeed a very happy movie to watch. Since it is a work after "Princess Mononoke", the whole work has this kind of catharsis of human and natural reaction, with a sense of liberation, a sense of ease and light pleasure. Probably exhausted by the cruelty of war and the cruelty of god killing, Miyazaki wanted to make a story that would make everyone easy.
In "Princess Mononoke", the "gods of the land" who have been driven out of the world by human civilization and development - the mountain beast god, the B lord, and the white wolf god, where did they go after they died? The same is true of the river that was buried in Spirited Away, Xiao Bai. They lost their place in this world, and the gods went to another world, the otherworld, the ghost, the other shore, and that was the place.
Chihiro and their parents went to such a place at that time, but chihiro went to a hot spring shop where eight million gods healed their fatigue. There, the Mountain Beast God and the Lord of the Othello also took a bath, drank wine, and slept in their yukata robes, eliminating the sorrow in their hearts. The Casgars and Lord Mithira are worshipped gods, so they have to cross the river on the painting boat, going back and forth between this bank and the other. The gods who are no longer worshipped, the ancient gods who have been forgotten, will probably go to the other side of the railway tracks before the bathhouse.
<h1>The setting of Hayao Miyazaki's witch</h1>
The hostess of that bathhouse is a witch, which I think is a very interesting unique setting for Hayao Miyazaki. Witch, this setting can be told through Miyazaki's works.
From the point of view of making the demon, Tang Mother's magic is interesting. The waiters in the bathhouse are frog men and slugs women. They are the equivalent of the witch's dependents—these little creatures in the dark.
From the perspective of the witch's mascot, Grandma Tang should only have crows and no cats, because in any case, the mascot (talisman) of the witch is the cat, followed by the crow. In "Witch House Rush", Kiki uses the black cat Gigi as the mascot. Then, look at Grandma Tang, only crows and no cats. Grandma Tang does not have the company of cats, and as a witch, she is not quite like her in many ways.
The theme color of the witch is red and black, and although Grandma Tang also wears red gems and black ribbons, her clothes are basically blue, and her hair is also white.
Then there is Grandma Qian, although she is a twin sister, but the clothes and decorations are the same, in general, that is a characteristic of the same person, probably schizophrenic.
In The way of life of Grandma Tang, his costume and ring are strange and out of proportion. Grandma Qian's family has a field, whether it is cotton or hemp is not clear, the fibers are woven into threads, dyed, and then woven with looms, we can see a whole set of processing processes. If you lived in that house, you should wear more modest clothes and tie an apron, rather than wearing a ring with a gemstone to hinder the work.
<h1>The relationship between Grandma Tang and Grandma Qian is also interesting. </h1>
Why does Grandma Tang want to steal the contract seal from Grandma Qian? If the sisters have signed an improper contract and she wants to overturn the contract, it will work.
At a glance, I know that Grandma Tang is overworked, busy making money every day, and has no life of her own, so why should she desperately make money? When you think of this seal, do you have a reasonable explanation?
She takes care of all kinds of work, morning and evening, of course, her main job is to be the supervisor of the "soup house", running the bathhouse.
On the top floor of the bathhouse she has a working study, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a children's room.
There is no picture of the bedroom here. Although I don't know if there is a bedroom, the impression given should be that the bathhouse does not rest, so there is no description of the place of rest, and it feels like Grandma Tang never sleeps.
Moreover, her supervision of the staff and the reception of guests are actually carried out in the church.
Seeing that she had been keeping accounts, patrolling and collecting money, she always felt that there were many mistakes in the accounts about money, given her personality.
When receiving the guests of the bathhouse, she was a highly professional boss lady.
Do you remember that the fake money that the faceless man took out was dizzying.
At the time of the faceless male chapter, you can see Tang Mother's cashier book, account book and gold coins piled together in a disorderly manner.
When she returned from patrolling as a soup bird, we saw her carrying a bag that made a clicking sound, presumably to raise money.
She gives the impression that she is not very good at management and financial management, and is very busy, always busy with doing things.
And her sister Grandma Qian? She had been enjoying a slow life in the countryside that had nothing to do with money. Although my sister's name sounds richer, where does my sister's money come from?
Can we speculate that Grandma Tang is working for Grandma Qian? That is to say, the content of that agreement is that Grandma Tang did the job of Grandma Qian together? For some reason, Grandma Tang was forced to sign an agreement and work for Grandma Qian, so Grandma Qian was very idle, Grandma Tang was very busy, and Grandma Tang was also casting spells on those who came to work in the bathhouse, signing agreements, also to vent her dissatisfaction.
Did Grandma Tang even do the job of Grandma Qian? Was he forced to work? There is such a feeling.
<h1>There is a hypothesis that Grandma Tang and Grandma Qian are split off from the same person</h1>
Originally, Grandma Tang and Grandma Qian were a witch named Grandma Oil, and then, the operation of the bathhouse was very busy, and she wanted the cat to help take care of it, but found that she did not have a cat.
So she thought of turning herself into two people.
The skills of bookkeeping, bookkeeping, and handling items were all handed over to my sister Qian's mother-in-law.
Assigning, hospitality, and human-related skills were all given to his sister, Uncle Thomas.
So becoming two people, logically, should go well.
But the two people she split off had two diametrically opposed ideas, one "wanting to make more money" and the other "wanting to spend a leisurely life in the country," an idea that diverged between the two characters and eventually upset the balance.
Sister Qian's mother-in-law deceived her sister Tang Through some means, and signed a contract that even her own job.
Do you remember that there is a line that says, "That's the rule," which means paying attention to oaths and contracts, because witches know the horror of breaking contracts, and that's the attitude of witches and magicians.
From this point of view, I feel that Grandma Qian is so terrible.
<h1> Grandma Qian, another explanation for Grandma Tang</h1>
Or, we can make another explanation, the sister pursues worldly interests, money, luxury decoration and other material riches,
The sister pursues spiritual prosperity.
This is the difference between the two attitudes towards the world.
As a witch, her duty should be to pursue spiritual prosperity.
After all, the witch is a person who studies the way of magic, and is a researcher.
In Qian's mother-in-law's home, everything from dyeing and spinning threads to processing plants into fabrics is readily available.
By confirming these processes one by one, I feel that this is a very serious way of practicing.
Magic is the same in civilization and science.
Now, just unscrew the faucet, or raise the lever or put your hand on the sensor to get out of the water.
If people in the Heisei era looked at it, they would definitely think it was magic.
Too advanced science and magic are inseparable, and this is Clarke's Law.
Let's think about it, as long as we put our hands out, we can have a lot of clean water flowing out.
This actually requires quite a bit of technology. Water treatment, water purification, metalworking, civil engineering, pipes...
From a personal point of view, start by digging a well....
The level of knowledge and skill required to drive a car and to build a car is completely different.
Using smartphones and computers is completely different from the construction of whether you understand them or not.
Magic is the same, and the degree of proficiency and proficiency is not the same.
Grandma Qian is a person who pursues the level of self-made cars and computers.
<h1>The relationship between Grandma Qian and the Faceless Man</h1>
Chihiro takes the faceless man to do a water train with him to find Grandma Qian.
Through this plot, we can see that in fact, The qian mother-in-law and the faceless man are the best partners.
The next hal, Sulliman and the blonde boy are in this relationship.
In other words, one person controls, one person seeks asylum.
The faceless man has no opinions, wills, and opinions of his own, nor does he have his own language.
He didn't start talking until he ate the frog and imitated what others did.
In fact, he himself has nothing inside, only wants instructions and peace of mind from the outside, and the faceless man is a symbol of the immature way of spiritual existence.
Later, the faceless man spit out all the frogs and what he ate, but the faceless man could not have digested by eating, nor could he grow up by food.
So questions like "Where did you come from, or would it be better to go back to where you came from?" becomes key.
Come and go, their own life indicators.
The faceless man is reluctant to consider this kind of thing, and he is still in the stage of "naked son".
Those in the bathhouse, if they want the faceless man to pay, just simply order him.
Patting is a bad means, even if it is held, the faceless man will not be happy.
Because I didn't have the desired recognition of myself, I gradually felt uneasy.
Grandma Tang didn't understand this, but Grandma Qian seemed to understand this, and sure enough, her sister was skilled.
The dispute between the sisters is quite beneficial to Grandma Qian,
<h1>After the end of the story, what will happen to the relationship between Grandma Tang and Grandma Qian?</h1>
The two sisters are two sides of the same person, two sides of yin and yang, two wings.
This is what the Witches call Joy and Ursula. Joy who deals with people on the street, and Ursula who paints alone in the forest.
It is hoped that these two people can properly dialogue, communicate and become one.
Just like dealing with others during the day and working quietly at night, one needs both aspects.
It is not unreasonable to have a bad temper, but if you blame each other, both sides will eventually be finished. Confrontation and reunification will one day be necessary.
Who do you think is better, Grandma Qian or Grandma Tang? Are they split off from the same witch? What kind of secret does the faceless man have? Welcome to exchange discussions, continuous updates, follow me, do not get lost.
