Sasha watches the 102nd episode of the movie series
Sasha takes an in-depth look at Hayao Miyazaki's "What kind of life do you want to live": an obscure and beautiful comic
Sasha personally believes that "What kind of life do you want to live" is Miyazaki's autobiography and may be his last work.
Hayao Miyazaki, who is in his 80s, said in an interview with the media that he would not live long, and that his old friends had died recently, and the number of funerals attending was so large that he still collapsed. Instead of waiting for death with nothing to do, he still took a paintbrush and greeted death while doing what he liked.
Therefore, "What kind of life do you want to live" can be seen as the pinnacle of Miyazaki's manga in all aspects, except for the story itself.
However, Miyazaki has integrated his own life and thoughts into this manga, and it seems to us that the story is not strong, obscure, and even incomprehensible.
Sasha does not recommend that children watch "What kind of life do you want to live", basically they can't understand it.
I will talk about my own understanding, and I may be able to help everyone understand this comic movie.
The movie is actually divided into three layers, which is also the fundamental reason why it is difficult to understand.
The first layer, roughly an autobiography of Hayao Miyazaki, tells the story of his life, especially his childhood;
The second layer is Miyazaki's reflection on Japan's modern and modern history, revealing the essence of society beneath the surface.
The third layer is Miyazaki's vision of the present and future of Japan and the world, and it also tells young people how to face the future.
Suffice it to say, this film is really Miyazaki's posthumous work, similar to an old man on the verge of death, muttering about life and the future.
In general, the life of the male protagonist Mu Zhenren before entering the other world is a description of Miyazaki's childhood life, but it is slightly different.
In the movie, Mu Zhenren is the son of a young entrepreneur. This is a family business that manufactures fighter plane parts for Japanese militarism in World War II, and it can be regarded as an accomplice in the war. Makijin's parents were both members of the upper class, and his father's family was an entrepreneur, who was supposed to be a new aristocratic capitalist who developed after the Meiji Restoration.
Her mother was a member of the traditional local aristocracy and even the imperial family, and through the clothes of his maternal uncle, who was the uncle of his mother's mother, we can confirm that he was a Chinese Japanese at that time, and he was related to the Imperial family.
Even in the difficult times of the war, ordinary Japanese families could not even eat coarse rice, and the corpses of starving homeless children were poured on the streets, but real people still lived the life of young masters.
His father was able to drive a private car, which was extremely rare at the time, and take a real person to school.
My father could donate a huge sum of 300 yen at a time to a rural school where a real person was borrowing, which scared the principal stupid. These are fathers who show off their wealth to the outside world, so that society respects and treats them well.
And the group of elderly maids in the mother's family were stunned by the various canned meat and sugar brought by real people as gifts. They also said that they originally thought that these things were extinct, but it turned out that there were still people who could easily get them, and this was the privilege of high society.
In addition to being rich, the family is also very powerful. After the disappearance of Zhenren and his stepmother Natsuko, in addition to the nearby villagers looking for them everywhere, even the local garrison, that is, the Japanese army that cooperated with his father's military factory, also came to help find people.
In Japanese society during World War II, the status of the military was heavenly, almost equivalent to the samurai class in ancient Japan (if the common people did not respect the samurai, the samurai could legally draw their swords and kill them).
They want to take the initiative to help, which shows the status of the real family.
It is a pity that the privileged position and affluent life of the family did not bring the joy of childhood to the Muzhen.
During the U.S. bombing in the early days of World War II, a real mother who worked in a hospital was burned alive by an incendiary bomb. The real person never saw his mother's body, and the only explanation was that the body had long been burned to char. In the days before DNA technology, such bodies could not be identified. The real person doesn't even know where his mother's body is buried, which is very miserable.
And although Mu Zhenren's father has a loving side, he obviously doesn't take his son too seriously. He believes that his son is just a part of life, and that career, love, and other children are just as important.
The father's care for real people is relatively superficial, and it can even be said that he doesn't care too much, and he will only appear when something happens.
And the father's thought act of helping his son actually helped.
The father drove the real person to school in order to show off his wealth and try to gain respect for his son. Unexpectedly, other classmates from poor backgrounds isolated real people because of this, and even went on to fight, and lost.
Just think about the husband in "Robot Cat". A noble young master who is not strong enough is often helpless and bullied in the face of tough low-level poor children like Fat Tiger. In such a situation, the father flaunts his wealth, which only leads to more violence for his son.
For another example, after discovering that a real person was hit by a stone on the head, the father stubbornly believed that he was injured despite his son's explanation that he had fallen and was injured. As a result, my father went to the school to make a fuss and donated money (probably a euphemism for bribery). It can be expected that the principal will definitely toss around the school for the sake of the real person.
The father thought that this would solve the problem, but in fact it only made the real person more isolated.
In order to avoid going to school and being isolated and hostile, the son chose to hit himself on the head with a stone, so as to avoid going to school and make his father pay attention to him. In fact, when fighting with classmates, the other party just pushes down the real person, at best, it is just a small fight, and it is nothing.
Of course, real self-harm also has the meaning of causing trouble for his stepmother Natsuko, causing problems in the relationship between his father and his stepmother, which has some evil purposes.
In addition, not long after Zhenren's mother died, his father soon married his sister-in-law Natsuko. By the time Muzhen escaped the air raid and went to the countryside, his stepmother, Natsuko, was pregnant.
It can be seen that the father's continuation is very fast. Upper-class men of that era wouldn't be single for long, but this seamless transition was also too fast. This makes the real person question his father, thinking that he doesn't love his mother enough and is not a competent husband and father.
At this time, the real person is still immersed in the grief of his mother's death, and often wakes up crying in nightmares, but his father has begun to enjoy the love with another woman, and even impregnated his stepmother.
From the father's point of view, according to Japanese social tradition, it is understandable to marry a sister-in-law.
In the past, in large Japanese families, it was common for men to marry their sisters-in-law after losing their wives for fear that their children would be abused by their stepmothers, especially in order to maintain family property and blood relations.
In fact, my father may not want to marry my sister-in-law Natsuko, and the two may not have much affection.
Stepmother Natsuko once told Majin that she had only seen him when Majin was a baby.
And Xia Zi is the mother's younger sister, it seems that the mother has not moved around with her mother's family since she got married, and the father should have very little contact with the sister-in-law, and there must have been no ambiguous relationship before.
With his father's status at that time, he could have many choices for marrying his wife, and he could marry any kind of beautiful lady and any kind of beautiful woman, so why bother choosing his sister-in-law? It seems that my father's choice of my sister-in-law was probably due to the fact that his son was a real person.
It is impossible for the sister-in-law to abuse her sister's son, and in the eyes of her father, she is the best candidate for a stepmother.
It's just that the real person is a child after all, and he can't understand his father's good intentions.
The way the real person fights is the same as other children.,In addition to being very cold to Natsuko.,Will also find some ways to cause trouble for the stepmother.。 For a long time, whatever his stepmother Meizi said to him, the real person either ignored it or did it.
It's just that he is not the kind of person with a violent personality, at least on the surface, there is no verbal confrontation and swearing, but he is polite.
Although the movie doesn't say that after the real person's injury may leave a lifelong scar, the father should have complained about Natsuko and blamed him for not taking good care of the child.
The pregnant Natsuko had words of suffering, and she felt sorry for her sister, and finally fell ill in bed. You know, Natsuko was in good health, and she could even pick up the real person from the station alone with her stomach up.
Now Natsuko is sick in bed, still very haggard, and the only explanation is mood problems.
Naturally, Zhenren is not that kind of vicious person, and after seeing the sick appearance of his stepmother or aunt, he also felt deep remorse, and his attitude towards her changed greatly.
Discovering that his stepmother Natsuko is missing in the forest, the real person enters a different world under the guidance of the heron man, and the movie enters the abstract autobiography from the memories of the image.
The above is basically Miyazaki's experience. He was born into a family of capitalists, and the family business relied on the manufacture of aircraft, and during the war, he assisted in the manufacture of fighter parts, and gained fame and fortune in Japanese society. Even in times of war, when conditions were difficult, the Miyazaki family had a high status. His father was the owner of a military-industrial complex, and he did not have to join the army to fight at all, and he also received a lot of political and material preferential treatment.
Miyazaki, on the other hand, was born in 1941 and was a child throughout the war, making it impossible to make any resistance.
As the United States began a full-scale bombing of Tokyo, Miyazaki followed his family to live in the countryside, where he was still very well materially rich.
Being in the upper class, even a child Miyazaki can see some truths about the world.
His father had secretly told him that the military needed too much and that the family business could not produce enough to meet the orders, so it had to use some inferior parts to make them shoddy. For ordinary Japanese people, this kind of behavior will definitely be classified as treason and directly sentenced to death.
But they are upper-class society, they will not be oppressed like ordinary people, just by paying bribes to some officials, they can easily hide this matter, and they can also make a lot of profits and make war money. More importantly, it is not that the top brass of the Japanese military is unaware of this kind of thing, but everyone tacitly understands that these soldiers have also gained a lot of benefits from it.
As for "sacrificing everything for the sake of the Japanese Empire," "betraying the country for personal gain," and "sacrificing the lives of the whole family for the sake of the emperor," my father saw it as just a clumsy trick by the ruling class to fool the common people, and they would never do it themselves.
The father's position is very high, and he can see a lot of the essence of Japanese society.
In the case of Hideki Tojo, the leader of Japanese militarism in World War II, under his instigation, countless Japanese parents sent their sons to the battlefield of aggression and finally gave up their lives. Hideki Tojo's own three sons were all uninjured in the war, and two of them never joined the army at all. Although the eldest son was forced to join the army, he was placed in the safest rear of the puppet state of Manchukuo.
At the same time, people in the upper class of society basically have contempt for the middle and lower class Japanese people.
During the war, Tokyo was suddenly bombed by the Allies, and Miyazaki's family immediately fled to the countryside in a truck.
At that time, trucks and gasoline were not available to the ordinary Japanese middle class. And although Miyazaki is young, he still remembers one thing and has never forgotten it for the rest of his life.
As soon as the vehicle started, a woman who lived nearby with a child begged Miyazaki's father to take the mother and son with her, because it was too dangerous.
At that time, there was still some space in the truck, and Miyazaki even took the initiative to move to the side, trying to give up a seat for the woman.
However, Miyazaki's father stopped his son, coldly said to the woman, "I'm sorry, the car is full," and then ordered the driver to drive away.
Hayao Miyazaki couldn't understand this, thinking that it was just a gesture that could save two lives, why would his father refuse?
Years later, Miyazaki understood his father's indifference. The Japanese upper class of society regarded the middle and lower classes as just tools of ignorance and ignorance, objects of enslavement by them, no different from cattle, horses, pigs and sheep.
If the upper class wants to maintain its arrogance and indulgence, it must treat the bottom badly. The total amount of wealth is limited, and the upper class of society has divided the vast majority, and the bottom can only live a difficult life, which is the simple logic.
Since everyone is in a relationship of oppression and enslavement, where is there any sympathy.
In addition to the conceptual shock, Miyazaki had two big problems as a child.
One is that his father has been busy with his career for a long time and is rarely at home, and Miyazaki's closest person is his mother.
Not long after her mother gave birth to Miyazaki, she contracted a very severe form of tuberculosis, and at one point she was in a dying state, and she couldn't even turn over on her own. The mother fell ill and was bedridden for nearly 10 years, basically covering the entire childhood of her son. During his illness, he was in great pain, his mother ignored Miyazaki, and even his son's crying and request for a hug was rejected (Miyazaki recalled that he had not hugged his mother since). The absence of father's love, the lack of the originally strong maternal love, led to Miyazaki's serious desire for love.
This lack of maternal love in his early childhood affected Miyazaki's life.
As an adult, Miyazaki's sincere pursuit of love can be seen as making up for the lack of maternal love!
In his animations, there are many scenes that depict the mother's illness or absence, and the children are at a loss and in their hearts.
Second, Miyazaki is not in good health.
Despite the high status of the family, Miyazaki is only the second son in the family. According to Japanese tradition, only the eldest son, the elder brother Arata Miyazaki, would inherit the family business, and Miyazaki's status in the family was not high. What's worse is that Miyazaki was in poor health as a child, frail and sickly, often bedridden, and many doctors say that he will not live to be 20 years old. For a child, knowing that he or she is likely to die in a few years, how can he have a happy childhood?
Brother Miyazaki Shin once said that what he was most afraid of before was that his second brother Miyazaki would die suddenly, and he definitely didn't expect that the second brother could work 10 hours a day for 50 years.
Until high school, Miyazaki was still unable to attend physical education classes, and was always the object of ridicule and isolation by his classmates, thinking that he was a cripple. This has caused Miyazaki's withdrawn and introverted personality, just like the real people in the comics, who usually prefer to walk alone in silence.
The first half of the manga is a realistic projection of Miyazaki's children's life.
After entering another world, it is a hidden reflection of the old Miyazaki's perception of life.
Sasha doesn't spread out, says some points.
This otherworld is a world built by his uncle (Hayao Miyazaki's lifelong friend and mentor Takahata) with the help of a magical stone (a meteorite).
Uncle Tai only established this world, but did not create life in the world. These beings are basically the products of natural development from the real world to another world.
And with the help of three partners, Heron Man (Hayao Miyazaki's friend and important partner Toshio Suzuki), Kiriko (Hayao Miyazaki's important assistant and color designer Michiyo Hoda) and Homi (Miyazaki's mother), finally found his stepmother Natsuko, met his uncle, and knew the nature of this world.
Here are a few main points:
First, the other world is the world of the undead.
The other world is a projection of the real world. The creatures that really belong to the other world are only all kinds of undead, and the rest are alien creatures from the real world.
The real person first fell into the other world and landed outside the cemetery.
Later, I followed Kiriko to see a lot of undead piloting ships, and cute creatures "Wow Wow Wow" will go to the world above to be reincarnated, all of which show that this is the world of the undead, and other creatures are outsiders.
There is a tunnel before the real person enters the tower, and the door of the tunnel has Latin written on it, which translates to "Gate of Hell" in the Divine Comedy of Dante.
Second, the undead passengers of another world are victims of wars.
Aunt Kiriko and Majin caught the fish and sold it to some undead passengers who were piloting the boat.
Kiriko explained that these undead cannot be killed, and can only buy fish and meat from me.
Note that these undead passengers were apparently on a Chinese-style sailing ship and were wearing hats that were not Japanese.
The undead are the victims of the war in China and other countries, they have never killed at all, they are good by nature, and they are not immune to the fate of war.
Third, Wala-Wah is a victim of Japan's own war, Daigo is a coerced war participant, and Homi is an allied army.
Kiriko said that when she grows up, she will fly into the sky and enter the real world to reincarnate as a new person.
Wow wah wah is cute and not a threat to anyone.
However, when they lifted off, they were devoured by the Daigos. If it weren't for Homi's use of fire magic to attack, Wa-la-Wow-la would have been eaten by Daigo.
The badly injured old Daigo tells the real people that the sea where the Daigo live is hell. The number of Daigo is increasing, but there are not enough fish in this sea to survive. Daigo couldn't leave the sea no matter how he flew, and in order to survive, he had to devour the weaker Wala-wa-la-la, and as a result, he was attacked by Homi and had to die in pain.
In fact, Daigo is a low-level Japanese soldier in World War II.
The Japanese upper ruling class is insatiable, taking away the country's main wealth and wanting more, so it fools the low-level civilians to launch a war of aggression.
The reason why Daigo doesn't have fish to eat is not that there are no fish in the sea, but that Uncle Tai has established an unreasonable otherworld, so that they can't eat enough fish.
In World War II, the Japanese ruling class plundered the country, making life difficult for the common people at the bottom, and inducing them to invade other countries, divert social contradictions, and expand their own interests.
The funny thing is that Daigo's main target of harm is actually Japan's own civilians, that is, the harmless people and animals.
The final result is that the greedy hunters were attacked by Huomei, who represented the righteous side, and suffered many casualties, and they were burned to death a lot, but not all of them were devoured and died.
Daigo is a killer and cannon fodder under the rules of evil, and in the end they end up in a miserable end, and only real people have a little sympathy for them.
The most unfortunate were the Wala-Wra-la, who were implicated by the Daigo, either by the devouring of Daigo (Japanese civilians who died during the invasion) or by the attack of Homi (Japanese civilians who died as a result of the attack by the Allies).
As for Huomei, it was the allies who defeated Japan in World War II.
They represent justice, but during the attack there is no way to distinguish between Daigo and Wow La Wow who are mixed together. In order to ensure that Wa La Wow La will not be eaten up, Huo Mei can only launch an attack and kill some Wa La Wow with her own hands to save the majority.
Fourth, Uncle Tai represents the modern Japanese Restoration, and the black stone represents Western civilization.
In ancient times, Japan was much more backward than China, and in the 19th century, Japan was on the verge of collapse in the face of an invasion by powerful Western powers.
However, a character like Uncle Tai appeared, and he used that black stone to establish a different world.
The so-called black stone is the advanced civilization brought by the Western powers. And the uncle was a group of insightful people in the early Meiji Restoration in Japan, overthrowing the rotten rule of the Japanese feudal shogunate.
Japan adopted a comprehensive Westernization approach, learned from Western civilization in an all-round way, and thus saved itself from national extinction and became one of the great powers.
From the perspective of the time, Uncle Tai was a great man and a hero of the Japanese nation.
Uncle Tai's success is based on the introduction of Western civilization, that is, the black stone.
It's just that although Uncle Tai wants to build a perfect world, there are many problems and unreasonableness in the other world he has established due to selfish desires and prejudices, and the core is the 13 crumbling building blocks. Uncle Tai tried his best to maintain it, but he could only let the other world exist for one more day.
For example, as Daigo's numbers increase, there is a lack of enough fish in the sea, so Daigo can only hunt the weak Wala-Wah-wa-la-la, and even try to devour the real people who have just fallen into another world.
These unreasonable systems have led to the beautiful world turning into a terrifying place, and the best manifestation is the parrot group.
Fifth, the parrot group represents the Japanese militarists.
The parrot that fell into another world was originally just a clever and nimble bird.
However, the rules of the other world have led them to develop into a strong, belligerent, well-organized, and well-disciplined but greedy and ambitious group.
From the beginning to the end, the parrot wants to eat meat at any cost, and wants to eat Natsuko, Zhenren and even Huomei.
Strangely, it seems that parrots are not short of food in the movie, and we see that they can produce a lot of delicacies, just without meat.
Why is it that you can eat enough, but now you have to do whatever it takes to eat a few pieces of meat?
To make matters worse, in addition to eating their owners, parrots take possession of everything they have.
For example, in the blacksmith's house, the real person did not see the blacksmith, but found that the parrot lived in the blacksmith's house.
It can be seen that the blacksmith has been eaten by parrots, and the home is still completely occupied by them, this is the naked invader.
The parrot is, the Japanese militarist in World War II!
Japan's militarism did not take shape overnight!
After the Meiji Restoration, power was mainly in the hands of politicians and chaebols.
However, when politicians and chaebols soon discovered that it was easier to acquire wealth by foreign aggression than by plundering at home, they began to advocate militaristic ideas and establish militarist blocs.
After the war, Japan gained huge economic benefits through a series of military operations, such as the annexation of the Ryukyus by force, the annexation of Taiwan, the annexation of Korea, and the invasion of northeastern China.
In this way, the militarist clique established its dominance and became a force no less powerful than the chaebols and politicians.
And the characteristic of the militarists is that even if they eat like a parrot, they cannot stop eating meat, that is, the pace of aggression, and in the end they either destroy others or themselves.
Sixth, the negotiation between the Parrot Group and the Great Uncle.
It can be seen that although the other world was created by his uncle, he has been unable to control the parrot group, and is even forced to give up a lot of power and agree to some of their unreasonable demands.
Originally, this system was established as a well-organized parrot group layer by layer, and the one at the top was still Uncle Tai.
In other words, the parrot group is for the great uncle and is the servant of the great uncle.
After the Parrot Group grew, it was unwilling to obey anyone's orders.
The leader of the parrot group, the parrot king, negotiates with his uncle almost on an equal footing, and can even use the threat of force.
This is like the militarists of World War II, once they have established their own powerful forces, the traditional political forces that created the glory of the Meiji Restoration in the early days, that is, the Taishu Gong and others, have difficulty controlling them.
Everyone's attention, when the parrot king messed together the building block tower and broke the block tower with one knife, Uncle Tai did not stop it at all, and he couldn't stop it.
During World War II, many high-ranking non-military officials in Japan knew that if they continued to fight like this, they would definitely lose the country, but they could not control the militarist clique that they had single-handedly established and helped to grow, just like their uncle.
Seventh, black stones can't solve everything.
The black stone is the foundation of another world and cannot solve everything.
There is no such thing as good or bad black stone, because the other world was not created by stone, but by my uncle.
The Meiji Restoration Japan used Western civilization to build a modern state, and again, it did not make too many distinctions, and also copied the dross of these civilizations.
The parrot group is clearly learning from the Germany of Europe, the militaristic Prussian Germany of the time.
Although this learning led to Japan's rapid growth, it eventually perished like the martial dictatorship of Germany in World War I and Germany in World War II.
Obviously, simply copying Western civilization without thinking and making choices will not work.
Eighth, the end of a war does not mean that everything is innocent.
With the destruction of the other world, the parrots and Daigo who fled to the real world have become harmless birds of humans and animals, and seem to have gotten rid of the ugly image of the previous hideous killing.
Even the violent and arrogant Parrot King has turned into a beautiful red parrot.
After the end of World War II, many Japanese chose to forget their atrocities and crimes, and instead presented themselves as victims of war.
In those days, he raped and burned Japanese soldiers all over the world, and after returning to China, he once again pretended to be kind and gentle ordinary people.
Even if there is an objective institutional impetus for the evil done in the war, the atrocities of Daigo and Parrot themselves cannot be shirked, and they cannot just pretend to be innocent.
When the writer Fang Jun was working in Japan, he once saw some old Japanese people who seemed to be very kind and kind. In fact, they have wantonly raped and even raped and killed women and girls from other countries in World War II, not to mention indiscriminate killing, torture and killing of civilians, and even ate human flesh.
However, except for the Tongfang Army, these Japanese veterans never told anyone, especially family and friends, about these experiences, but chose to forget their evil deeds and blame everything on the war.
Ninth, why did the real person refuse the building block tower?
Uncle Tai hopes that the real person will inherit his throne and continue to create and sustain the world by building a building block tower.
And the real person flatly refused, but the uncle praised him for doing the right thing.
Power and ambition have a negative impact on the establishment of a state system!
In my uncle's ideal of establishing the capital of the United States, there should be no selfishness, and everything should be done for the sake of building a beautiful country.
However, Uncle Tai himself is unreasonable because of worldly ambition and greed.
It's easy to understand.
In order to build a tower in the real world and enter the other world, Uncle Tai did not hesitate to kill and injure many workers.
He has selfish desires and ambitions, so it is impossible to build a perfect world.
The reason for the refusal was that he did not believe that he was qualified to build such a perfect system.
He once did ugly and harmful things for his selfish desires, that is, he deliberately self-harmed to affect the feelings of his father and stepmother.
Uncle Tai understands that there can be no perfect world, and would rather sit back and watch this ugly other world collapse directly.
This paragraph is also, Miyazaki's perception of life!
In the mind of any person, there is a perfect world, and many people have pursued this perfect world all their lives.
When Miyazaki is on the verge of death, everyone will know that there is no such thing as a perfect world.
Instead of indulging in the fantasy of a perfect world, it is better to be like a real person and bravely return to the imperfect real world.
Ninth, why does the building block tower in another world seem to be ready to collapse at any time?
The other world is very large, but my uncle said that it was built on a fragile building block tower made of 13 blocks.
Once the brick tower collapses, the entire otherworld will be destroyed.
And Uncle Tai tried his best to think and maintain every day, but he could only barely keep the building block tower for one more day.
Isn't that ridiculous? That is, the other world could collapse at any time. And the tough parrot group is still touting its own strength and organization, and wants to seize more power.
The parrot king even claimed to have courage and perseverance, a true emperor, and was unwilling to submit to his uncle.
After hearing the truth, the parrot king felt fooled by his uncle, and forcibly rushed in to build a building block tower and failed, and actually slashed it with a knife.
Actually, this is a mapping of the real world.
Everything we think is as stable as Mount Tai, such as the Great Japanese Empire in World War II, is built on crumbling building blocks.
Japan claims to be a super-empire capable of conquering the world, and the Meiji Restoration alone lasted more than 80 years, and in 1942 it conquered most of Asia and the Pacific. Just two or three years after its heyday, Japan announced its unconditional surrender and the empire collapsed.
All this tells us that in reality, many things are fundamentally built on the beach and can collapse at any time.
In the same way, countless dynasties in ancient China claimed to have survived thousands of years, but in fact very few survived 200 years!
After Qin Shi Huang established the Qin Dynasty, he hoped that his descendants would inherit it from generation to generation, but it perished after only 13 years.
Hayao Miyazaki warns us not to overestimate ourselves because of momentary strength, and that a total collapse may only happen overnight.
Tenth, Is Huo Mei the mother of a real person?
Huo Mei is the mother of a real person, who entered another world when she was a child and met a real person who grew up here.
The other world is a real world that can communicate with different time and space, and only real people can meet their childhood mothers.
It's just that Huomei only has special abilities in the other world, and in the real world, she is just as ordinary as a real person, and she will be killed.
Although through the introduction of a real person, Huomi knew that as long as she returned to the real world, she would die from the Allied bombing, she still made the same choice.
If Huomei doesn't return to the real world, her son Zhenren won't exist. Huomei, who loves her son very much, would rather choose to die when she is young than let a real person be born.
Eleventh, Are Aunt Kiriko and Mother-in-law Kiriko the same person?
It's the same person.
It's just that after Mother-in-law Kiriko entered the other world, she became what she was when she was young.
She did not directly state her identity, but silently guarded and guided the real person.
The best explanation is that there are several old women's dolls in Aunt Kiriko's house, that is, the maid and old ladies that real people see when they grow up, including Granny Kiriko herself.
Although Aunt Kiriko has no magic power, she is only a maid who has been working in a real family for 60 years in the real world, but she is a very important enlightener.
Through Kiriko, the real person who has just entered the other world not only adapts to the environment, but also strengthens his will.
Eleventh, does stepmother Natsuko hate real people very much?
In another world, Natsuko sleeps in the waiting room in pain when she suddenly sees a real person.
Discovering that a real person came to another world, Natsuko became hideous for a while, and even said: What I hate the most is you.
However, the real person uncharacteristically called Natsuko "mother" for the first time?
What's going on?
Does stepmom Natsuko really hate real people?
It can be said that as Natsuko, who has not yet been a mother, it is impossible not to hate real people with eccentric personalities at all.
Even biological parents can hate their children at some point.
However, Natsuko still loves real people in general. In addition to the fact that she is the son of her sister, Natsuko's own kindness and motherhood are also important reasons.
The reason why Natsuko scolded the real person was because he understood that the child was very stubborn, persuaded that education was ineffective for him, and wanted to drive him out of the other world through verbal abuse.
Natsuko is well aware of the dangers of another world, and she is still precarious as an adult, let alone a real child. If a real person stays in another world, it can be said that his life is in danger at any time.
Natsuko understands that it is difficult for him to even move after entering the other world, and it is impossible to escape, so he can only hope that the real person can survive.
The real person also saw through Xia Zi's intention to protect herself, so she was moved to call her "Mom"!
Twelfth, what is that golden gate and the odd cemetery?
The golden gate is so ornate that it seems to be made of gold, and you can't help but want to push the door in.
Strangely, there is a line on the gate that reads, "Death to those who learn from me."
What does that mean?
In that strange cemetery, there is clearly a terrible thing living there. Daigo wants to push the real person to the tomb owner to die, and the brave Aunt Kiriko is also very jealous of it, and she doesn't even dare to leave with her back to the cemetery.
In fact, Miyazaki is alluding to the specter of Japanese militarism and feudalism in the past.
This quirky cemetery, in the shape of an ancient Japanese ruin, has been found in places like Kyushu and has been around for at least a few hundred years.
It symbolizes the terrible thoughts that existed in Japan in the past, which are now buried in the grave, but may be revived at any time. Driven by some ignorant underprivileges (Daigo), they will once again bring great disasters to Japan and the world.
This is not nonsense, and today there are signs of a resurgence of Japanese militarism and the right wing.
Even in Germany, some people supported Nazi ideology even though there was a clear legal prohibition.
During the filming of the comedy "He's Back", the actor who played Hitler won the spontaneous support and cheers of many German people on the streets.
The actor said that he once felt Hitler's mood back then. With the support of these fanatics, he feels that he can do anything, even conquer the world.
Thirteenth, you can't choose the world you live in, but you can choose "What kind of life do you want to live".
also fell into another world, Daigo and Parrot chose to kill, Aunt Kiriko chose to support herself and join forces with different streams, Huomei chose to maintain justice and fight evil, and real people chose to face life positively and at least did not do bad things that actively hurt others.
Many people use the excuse that they are being persecuted by their circumstances and have no other choice.
At all times, people have choices, and you can try to decide what kind of life you want to live.
Miyazaki lived to be in his 80s and should have understood that there is no such thing as an absolutely good or evil person, and that everything depends on the myriad of choices.
For young people, "What kind of life do you want to live" is entirely up to their own choice.
