Douban 820,000 people scored 9.2 points! After 37 years of return, this style of painting is still unsurpassed

The girl in blue fell from the sky, and you reached out and gently supported her, so light, light as a real fairy.

The light dimmed, and the girl seemed to suddenly grow weight, instantly becoming heavy, and it took a lot of effort to support her.

Do you have such a fantastic picture in your memory?

It comes from early memories and is a beautiful animation that Miyazaki left in the hearts of many people.

As early as 37 years ago, in 1986, Miyazaki completed "Castle in the Sky".

It ranks 48th in the Douban Movie Top250 list.

The high score of 9.2 points on Douban is an evaluation given by more than 820,000 Douban people.

It is a classic among the canons of animated films.

After 37 years, the film has been blessed with new technologies on the basis of the classic original.

This domestic re-screening, on the screen, is more fresh and timeless, dazzling, and also allows many people to relive that sincerity and touching.

Hayao Miyazaki's animation, Hisaishi's music.

This wonderful combination has fascinated many people.

Miyazaki is 82 years old this year, and he has entered his old age,

Jean Hisaishi is already a 72-year-old man.

The years never spare, and the classics never fade.

Even as they age, they continue to be talented and contribute one piece after another.

The old man has a new movie released this year, called "What kind of life do you want to live".

At the age of 82, he continues to produce excellent works.

And when he created this "Sky City", Miyazaki was 45 years old and in the prime of life,

He uses retro and beautiful pictures to pour the youthful feelings in his heart into this moving work.

1. Clear boy

In Miyazaki's works, there is always a clean-looking and clear boy.

He is so kind, brave, sincere, and has the greatest kindness to others and to the world.

With clear eyes, he always has a naïve youthful ambition and can bravely move forward for the ideals in his heart.

Such a clear boy is exactly what Balu looks like, and it is also the appearance of Hida.

Balu and Hida saw each other at first sight.

The family heirloom flying stone that Hida risked her life to recapture was directly removed at the first meeting and put on Balu around his neck.

Not long after Balu met Hilda, he rushed ahead to keep her safe.

They are still simple-minded teenagers, without calculation, without so much scheming, with a sincere way to make friends and do things.

Both of Hilda's parents died, leaving behind a family heirloom flying stone, which allows Hilda to float and not be injured even if she falls from a height.

That day Baru saw Hilda fall from the sky, and it was her flying stone that was at work.

With his guilt, many forces are tracking Hilda, the military, pirates, musca,

Some want to get treasure, some want to get high-tech, and some want to restart Sky City and gain power.

After meeting Hida, Balu is involved in this battle.

Dora, the pirate leader, looks exactly like Granny Tang in "Spirited Away".

With a fierce face, she led her sons to crisscross between the sky and the earth, doing the work of robbers.

But he is innocently saying that we are pirates, and robbing things is a matter of course!

Just because of this sentence, people can't help but make up their minds, maybe being a pirate, free and lawless, is also very good.

Perhaps being a pirate can also be a good pirate, and robbing treasure is just a profession they live on.

Hida, who was hiding here in Balu, was soon discovered by Dora's pirate gang.

To avoid being tracked by the pirates, they jumped on the train and dodged Dora, only to fall into Muska's hands.

Muska threatens Hilda with Balu's life to cooperate with him, and Hilda can only promise to let Balu return to his hometown and stop participating in the matter.

Lost, Baru returns home, only to find that the house is occupied by pirates, eating and drinking.

Balu is awakened by Dora's words: the girl must have been threatened to drive her beloved boy away.

So Balu pleaded with the pirates who were going to track the battleship to take him with him, and he was going to rescue Dora and go to Sky City together.

In Miyazaki's picture, the most touching thing is this youthful ambition, they are like newborn calves, fearless and fearless,

They always believe in something with great devotion, there are loved ones in their hearts, and there is hope when there is love,

So they are vigorous and naïve.

Do whatever comes to mind, regardless of gains and losses, regardless of the consequences,

No worries, no looking ahead, so you can move forward and believe that the road ahead will be bright.

This sense of conviction fills our young heroes with courage, determination, and even wisdom, although they are still young.

It is this youthful spirit that allows Balu and Hida to connect with each other, walk hand in hand, and start their journey into the sky.

2. Sky City

Laputa is an island city suspended in the air.

On the ground, there are legends about Laputa.

But legends, after all, are legends, and no one really believes them.

There is one exception. That was Balu's father.

He believed that Laputa really existed because he had seen the city in the sky with his own eyes.

Balu's father was an explorer who drove an airship through the air vortex,

As he fled, the sky met with light and dark, and he saw the city hidden in the clouds,

In amazement, he photographed a corner of the city.

But no one believed him, and people thought he was crazy and liar.

Where is there any sky city? That's just legend.

People only believe what their eyes can see.

Balu's father died in this misunderstanding.

Only Baru believed that what his father said was true.

Balu believes in the existence of Sky City and dreams of finding it one day to prove his father right.

There is providence in the underworld.

Balu meets Hilda, the princess of the Laputa clan, and a deep friendship develops between boys and girls, and the budding of love is quietly breeding.

The brave and sincere Balu finally flew into the sky, saw the legendary sky city with his own eyes, and truly stepped into this beautiful ruin.

3. Fall and Ascension

This is a beautiful island in the air, and it is empty, except for robots with long hands and feet, still waiting faithfully here.

Its huge machine body is already covered with thick green moss, and birds fly on his shoulders from time to time to accompany him, so it is not alone.

The long-handed robot will meticulously take care of each bird's nest and offer a beautiful little flower to the newly arrived Hida.

It was once a wandering paradise, with a rich ecology and miraculous high technology.

The film does not explain too much about how this magnificent sky city withered.

But the film uses a grand imagination and unparalleled beauty to create such an amazing city.

Along with it, there are surface forces that are eager for the city, some of them covet the huge amount of treasure left by the city,

Some are fascinated by the high technology contained in the city and fantasize about awakening the sky city and becoming the king here.

The castle here is not just a castle, but a high-tech weapon hidden everywhere.

Possessed of these weapons, Muska went on a killing spree, hoping to restore the former glory of the Sky City and rule the earth through the power of high technology.

Hida, the true princess of the Laputa royal family, holds spells that she herself does not know how to use.

When everything is on the verge of spiraling out of control, Hida holds hands with Balu and holds the flying stone, and recite the spell of destruction.

Magnificent palaces collapsed and disintegrated, and horrific weapons were destroyed.

The city in the sky, coveted by countless people, began to fall, stripping off all its embellishments, all the gorgeous hard shell wrapped in high technology.

But at the same time as it fell, the core and innermost part of it, containing a huge glowing flying stone, began to rise.

The Sky City fell apart and ceased to exist, and the giant tree, wrapped in flying stones, rose high in the sky to a place where people could no longer see.

The destructive power contained in Sky City has been fully released, and the technology and wisdom represented by Sky City are still floating in this infinite vast sky, without knowing the end, but always existing.

Director Hayao Miyazaki destroyed the Sky City, which represents wealth and technology, through the hands of Balu and Hida, a pair of boys and girls,

Crushing the swelling ambitions, unsatisfactory greed, and lust for power in the adult world,

But it also leaves seeds of hope, let them float high in the sky, waiting for the day when our teenagers will grow up and have the ability to control their own unknown forces.

The seeds that represent technology and wisdom will be matched with better qualities and open a new era.

The young man with clear eyes and indomitable forward is the hope of the future.
