"My Neighbor Totoro": Use the beautiful innocence in children's hearts to illustrate the harmony between man and nature
Because of her mother's illness and hospitalization, Xiaomei and Satsuki's father decided to take their two children to live in the countryside for a while.
The two kind and innocent children also saw many elves here that adults could not see, and Xiaomei even found a large, honest and cute chinchilla in the hollow of a big tree.
But when Xiaomei told her father and sister Xiaoyue about this, her father did not question Xiaomei because he didn't see Totoro, on the contrary, he gave Xiaomei a lot of encouragement, telling Xiaomei that only people who are very lucky can see Totoro.
Xiaomei and Xiaoyue's father should be the father of countless children's dreams, and in the face of innocent children, he is not in a hurry to deny the child's discovery, but encourages the child step by step.
From this point can lead to many parents about the problems encountered in their children's education, parents should be more patient with their children, rather than rushing to deny their children's discoveries or achievements.
Later, when Xiaoyue was waiting for her father with her sister Xiaomei on her back, Totoro appeared next to the two again, and seeing that Totoro had no umbrella, Xiaomei borrowed an umbrella for Totoro without saying a word.
This friendship also made it so that in the future, when Xiaomei couldn't find Xiaoyue, Totoro showed up to help the two sisters.
Not only that, but the chubby chinchilla also gave a bag of seeds to the two sisters, and seeing that the seeds did not germinate for a long time, Totoro showed up to help Xiaomei and Xiaoyue, so that the seeds they planted took root and germinated smoothly.
But soon after, the hospital suddenly broke the news that her mother was seriously ill, and the sad Xiaomei decided to visit her mother in the hospital, while Xiaoyue didn't want her sister to cause trouble to everyone and went home.
After calming down, Satsuki realized that she couldn't find her sister Xiaomei, and in her anxiety, she came to the tree hole to find the big Totoro for help.
Seeing that Xiaoyue was in a hurry, Totoro also hurriedly called Totoro bus to help Xiaoyue find Xiaomei, but fortunately, after some searching, he successfully found the lost Xiaomei.
After that, the Totoro bus also sent the two to the hospital, secretly visited their mother, and then sent the two back to the countryside.
My neighbor totoro is defined in the play more like a representation of the forest and the environment, and he seems to symbolize the creator of nature protecting his home and the things around him.
And in the play, only Xiaomei and Xiaoyue, two innocent and kind-hearted children, can see the so-called Totoro, and people can't help but wonder if Totoro is a beautiful product of the two children's fantasies or is it real?
But without exception, as long as it is good for Totoro, then Totoro will also appear to help the two sisters when they are in trouble.
For example, Satsuki lent Totoro an umbrella, and Totoro looked for Satsuki's sister later, all of which reflect the mutual help between the two.
And this harmonious relationship is also the meaning that the author wants to express, using Totoro as a metaphor for nature, implying that only by living in harmony with nature will nature be rewarded.
At the same time, it is also using Totoro to show the beauty of children's hearts, fully allowing people to experience the wonderful imagination from the depths of children's hearts.
The film is heartwarming in its positive role in promoting how to be a good parent, caring for your children, and having respect and love for nature.
