After watching a Japanese #animated movie #"Jose and the Tiger and the Fish" that has just been launched, Man Man realizes that this is the best story told in Japanese animated movies in recent years, and the logic is the most clear work of youth healing, and more importantly, the ending HE, is very happy.
Many people say that the story is too simple, and some of the plot is too old-fashioned, which is also true, but it is good to be able to express the story clearly, the main theme line is clear, and there are fewer ambiguous abstract philosophies. Although Douban scores only 7 points, it is highly recommended to everyone and is a good animated movie not to be missed.
Jose and the Tiger and the Fish is a realistic work that was shortlisted for the 2021 Japanese Oscar for Best Animated Film, directed by Kotaro Tamura, director of "#Noriyoshi#", produced by BoneShare, and has been adapted into a live-action film and television drama.

Another failure of "Jose and the Tiger and the Fish" is actually in the title of the work, and I don't know the meaning behind it without looking at the content. Jose (hereinafter referred to as "Joseph") is the name Chinese of the heroine, who has a wheelchair for her legs disabled, her parents have died, and her grandmother takes care of her alone. Grandma told her that there were a lot of beasts out there, don't go out. Only at night when there are few people on the road, two people go out for a walk. Her encounter with the male protagonist Hengfu was one night, on the way to walk. Grandma did not pay attention, and she was pushed downhill in a wheelchair. Seeing that he was about to hit the wall, the male protagonist appeared as a cushion.
Here we need to mention the age of the male and female protagonists, the female protagonist is twenty-four, the male protagonist is twenty-two, or a student, working multiple jobs to earn living expenses and study abroad expenses. Because there was no money to eat, the heroine's grandmother saw that the two were angry with each other, so she hired the male protagonist Hengfu to take care of the female protagonist Joseph, and the story of the servant and the master officially began from here.
Tiger is the collective name of the heroine's fear of things, on the one hand, the female protagonist longs to swim freely like a fish, not bound by the disability of the legs; on the other hand, the fish refers to the orange lamp fish, which is to accompany the male protagonist's childhood and longing for the existence, guiding him step by step to pursue his dream - to study in Mexico, diving to see the orange lamp fish again.
The tiger is fear, the fish is freedom and dreams. Both people long for the sea, longing for the future, longing for beauty. I still remember the picture when Joseph first saw the sea, the pink sea, the warm atmosphere, so beautiful.
So this is also the meaning of the title of the work with "we". Tigers and fish also run through the entire work, accompanied by the ups and downs of the male and female protagonists and the progress of their lives that heal positive energy.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > are tigers outside, and the heroine bravely steps out of the house</h1>
Although Joseph is two years older than the male protagonist, he is more childish than Hengfu, and he has a sharp temper, an unforgiving mouth, and is very arrogant. When they first met, they beat a rake and said that the male protagonist "touched her chest", so that the bullet screen said that she was "poorly set up". After taking care of her, it was also a torture man who changed the method, and let Hengfu "kneel" in order to experiment with the limit of human kneeling time, let him count the mesh number on the tatami, let him find four-leaf clover in a large grass, and the "servant" and "pervert" in his mouth have never stopped.
Thanks to the man for the high commission endured, and again and again to take Joseph out, the first time to take the train, the first time to eat the crepe, the first time to take the Ferris wheel... I also saw the sea that I had always wanted to see, the salty sea.
The tiger is the animal that Joseph fears, not only the real tiger, the strange person, the unfamiliar environment, to her are all "tigers". The first time she went out, because of her disability and inability to move, when she was disliked by passers-by, she collapsed and shouted "There are tigers outside", almost giving up the first step that was difficult to take.
From staying at home and not coming out, to the first time the heroine took the first step in the physiological sense, because her bravery came from the support and encouragement and companionship of Hengfu, and saw the tiger still naturally grab the clothes of the "servant" and hide behind her.
This is the first stage of the heroine's growth, Heng Fu is more like a teacher, leading her to the place she wants to go, the sense of participation in the life of the heroine is still just getting along, the psychological infection is not enough, but has a dependence on the male protagonist. Seeing the girls around Hengfu will be jealous and inferior.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" > meet new people and pursue their dreams bravely</h1>
During the outings, Joseph meets a girl who works in the library, who is also a loyal reader of an author and shares common preferences. Joseph would often go to the library to read books, and once he was selected by a child to tell stories.
The familiar story of "The Little Mermaid" is a big problem for Joseph, who has little contact with people, but it can't resist the children's eyes of anticipation and longing. The story is very boring, and the children gradually disperse, except for the first child, who asks expectantly, "What does the little mermaid's castle look like?" "Professionally, Joseph, who has been drawing, painted the castle for the little girl, which was affirmed by all the children and recognized by his friends.
She found her dream of becoming an illustrator. Since getting along with Hengfu, Joseph has matured a lot, and has made obvious progress from dress to psychological behavior. Her fear of the outside faded, and she even had dreams she wanted to pursue. This was a question she had never thought about before.
"Healthy people don't understand, I don't fantasize about being able to get to them anymore." This is what Joseph said to Hengfu after the male and female protagonists quarreled. Just as we in the audience can't empathize with Joseph's determination, for her, how hard this step was and how much courage it took. "I want to try, like you". From Joseph, who depends on what Hengfu wants to see through the fear, this time he has to look at Hengfu and face unknown and difficult challenges.
Grandma died, and Joseph's world became gray. Her world is left with only Hengfu, and her dream needs Hengfu's support.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="19" > fish lost their freedom and the courage to pursue their dreams</h1>
After her grandmother's death, the twenty-four-year-old, unemployed and disabled, was remembered by her well-meaning neighbors and helped her find social assistance that could help her get a job and a stable income. As mentioned earlier, Joseph had to pluck up the courage to pursue her dreams independently like a normal person, so she declined assistance and showed that she wanted to be an illustrator, not only was not encouraged, but was ridiculed as "whimsical, idiotic dreams", And Joseph's self-confidence was hit.
Henfu got a scholarship to study abroad, and studying abroad was also put on the agenda, because his grandmother died unexpectedly and he had time to inform Joseph. Sometimes, this kind of poor information will really kill people, and the so-called female second takes advantage of the void, comes to the door to ask "why does Joseph drag Hengfu's hind legs", and boldly shows his love for Hengfu. The groundless accusation stabbed Joseph in the heart, and she chose to back down.
On the day of hengfu's dismissal, Joseph asked him to go to the beach again. The color treatment of the picture here is very subtle, compared with the pink harmony of the first seashore, this time the seaside is full of desolation, depression and sadness, and the tone is gray and dark, which makes people breathless. Joseph let go of Hengfu, and Hengfu worried about Joseph, and then the two of them quarreled, and the phrase "healthy people don't understand" comes from here. The story behind is a little bit of dog blood, the male protagonist had a car accident, the bone was seriously injured, the rehabilitation was not successful, and he could not even walk or run like a normal person, not to mention diving, and the study abroad was also occupied by others.
Now both fish have lost their dreams and are forced to lose. The male protagonist who injured his leg was like the original female protagonist, becoming depressed and lifeless, and a decadent life that was over. In order to achieve the plot of "empathy" with the heroine, Heng Fu was arranged in this way, you can say that it is a routine, you can also say that it is life, after all, "the plot story is fictional, if there is a similarity, it is purely coincidental." The plot develops here, and the ending is already obvious, the two fish have to heal each other and grow each other.
Remember the story of the Little Mermaid? To cheer up Hence, Joseph rewrote the story with illustrations.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="32" > really grow up, is independent bravery</h1>
The work is a typical total writing pattern, and the final story is that Joseph compares Hengfu to himself to the Little Mermaid and the Prince, inspiring Hemp through an adapted version of the Story of the Little Mermaid. HengFu perked up and actively recovered, and continued to pursue her dreams, and Joseph finally fully realized that she needed to be brave, not hiding in her own disguised shell, but also hiding behind Hengfu, she realized that she needed to be independent and truly self-reliant, so she chose to leave and bravely pursue her dreams.
She said to herself, "Don't be spoiled," she said to Hjung, "Most importantly, they are indestructible," and she said to the second woman, "He will never forget the fish, let alone give up his dreams." As the line in the play says, "Don't be trapped by life, it's just life in the eyes of others." Don't be trapped by love, trapped by your own strengths and weaknesses, and become a breath of the moment, even if it is only a billionth of a nebula. The two fish, Joseph and Hemp, finally found themselves and finally found each other.
I don't know why, I was very excited after watching this work, especially when I saw this line, I always felt full of strength. Although the experience of both of them is quite bumpy, but they have not given up life, did not give up hope, did not give up dreams and each other, this is probably the "small luck" of life, even if it is a glimmer, they also feel that they have all the happiness.
If you pay attention to Japanese animation films in recent years, you can actually find a trend: the theme is lifelike, the theme is socialized, and the protagonist becomes adult, which is a huge difference from the Miyazaki Hayao and Shinkai Makoto era. In the early years, "The Shape of Sound", "The Little Boss Lady of the Hot Spring Restaurant", "Fireworks", etc. all focused on social topics, such as campus bullying, the inheritance and innovation of traditional culture under the change of new and old cultures, and "If I can ride the waves with you", it is also a story about the growth of firefighters and surf girls.
What does this mean? Animated films have gradually transitioned from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, putting aside the virtual overhead story, the reduction of girly elements is the audience's aesthetic requirements for content, and it is also a manifestation of social responsibility in the animation industry. Works that are close to the audience's life and have resonance, although not as profound as some of the themes of the overhead universe, it also affects the audience's thinking about real life and reflection on self-life step by step. Traffic is important, as is deep social content.
