Sentence/Microcosm
Although it has been autumn and summer seems to have passed, I still want to recommend a movie with a summer atmosphere -
Kappa Summer
This is an animated film from 2007, although the painting style is rough and not aesthetic enough, but in the process of revisiting it, it will be unconsciously moved by the details, as if it will be revisited in the summer.
Just like the beginning of all bondage stories, Little Elliott took in E.T., Wang Bao took in Treasure Gourd, and this summer Yasuichi Uehara took in Kappa Kogu.
As summer vacation approached, elementary school student Yasuichi Uehara picked up a large rock on his way home from school. He took the stone home, but when he washed it with water, a small kappa popped out of it.
The little kappa called out to him, so Kang Yi named it "Little Cuckoo".
Xiao Gu speaks in a bit of a tone and can understand people' words, because he is a kappa, he likes to eat cucumbers, fish, insects and other things, and is also good at sumo wrestling and swimming. It also has incredible abilities and keen intuition, so it can feel the breath of monsters and can also talk to animals.
Kang Yi's mother was initially opposed to the adoption of Xiao Gu, and then she also accepted it, and when she walked through the living room sofa, she would say a word with a straight face:
"Don't watch TV so close, it's not good for your eyes."
Moms are always hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and although they are picky, they have always supported us in action and heart.
So Kang Yi soon became good friends with Xiao Gu, and they bathed together, ate together, and slept together.
When the family was eating together, Dad drank beer and wanted Xiaogu to feel the taste of beer, so he poured the beer on the top of Xiaogu's head, and he didn't expect Xiaogu to get drunk in an instant, which was very interesting to watch Xiaogu drunk, especially it danced the dance of praying for rain, shaking.
Other family members also accepted Xiaogu, and the little kappa became the secret of the Uehara family.
However, in the end, the media still found Xiaogu, because Kang Yi's father was ordered by the company to let Kappa on TV, so for the sake of the Uehara family, XiaoGu agreed to participate in the TV show.
However, in the face of terrible scenes, Xiaogu found a murderer who resembled his father in ancient times, who still had his father's arm and said that his father was a rebellious monster.
"My father is not a troublesome monster, very good at catching fish, very kind, a great kappa, he just ran to beg not to open up the Ryujinnuma where we live into a rice field, and your ancestors suddenly drew a knife and hacked my father to death..."
The kappa looks ugly, but it's really kind, and humans are the real monsters in comparison.
So in the face of the terrible human, XiaoGu wanted to flee, and at this time, everyone did not appreciate Xiaogu's fearful heart, at this time, the yellow dog uncle who had always been very docile in the Kang family, did not hesitate at the moment to let Xiaogu ride on its back, and then it showed its teeth to humans without hesitation. Perhaps it had been a meek life looking forward to this day, turning its face with humans, for a little one, rushing into the unknown faraway.
Uncle Yellow Dog was unfortunately hit by a car while leading Xiaogu to avoid humans, and when he knew that he could not accompany Xiaogu, he and Xiaogu recalled the bond between him and his first owner.
"Humans sometimes change suddenly, my former master is also, when I was a child, I had a good relationship, I liked him very much, he also loved me, but soon after he was bullied by his classmates, but the only person he could bully was me, so I was beaten every day, maybe he was too, why he was bullied like this I couldn't figure out at all." I was so sad that I didn't want to be beaten or looked at like that, and I ran away. ”
Uncle Yellow Dog did not understand why its first owner had become like that, why the love for each other had finally become hurt, why humans suddenly became different from the one they first knew, just as Xiao Gu never understood why humans wanted to kill the monsters, why they did not understand why they had taken away the place where they lived.
"Father said that mankind took away the ponds and swamps in which we lived, then the wind, and the sky, and gradually took the places of the gods for themselves, and at the cost of them, they all lost their souls."
Gollum climbed alone to the Tokyo Tower and hugged his father's arm, and then suddenly it rained heavily in the sky, and it was really heartbreaking to see this scene, knowing that it had done nothing wrong, but it was it that wanted to escape.
Children never understand what is called parting, and although the sister hated Xiaogu at first, with a little bit of getting along, like all children, she liked Xiaogu more and more. When it was time for Xiaogu to leave at the end, the sister looked at Xiaogu who was ready to leave and asked: When can we meet again?
Adults know that maybe they can't meet with Gollum anymore, and not meeting is the best way for Him to protect him. However, for the children, she thinks that Xiaogu has only gone to a long distance, but will eventually come back and see her again.
So the sister cried sadly, and the mother and father also felt very sad, but Kang Yi did not cry, he has been restraining himself from crying, but when Xiao Gu really left in the car, Kang Yi followed behind the car transporting the package while crying and running, he really did not want Xiao Gu, and Xiao Gu was also very grateful to Kang Yi for saving it.
Parting words, the most difficult to say, people did not say the words, with two lines of tears to show.
Gollum's devotion to nature will really make a mess of people, when will human beings understand this truth.
"Lord God of this land, my father and I will live here, please forgive us." All we need is the fish we need to survive, please forgive us. ”
The film shows the sadness brought about by such a natural growth, separation, and faint integration into our senses, making people feel just right, very natural, just like at the beginning of seeing Kang Yi take in Xiao Gu, we know that they will eventually be separated, this result is inevitable, just like some things, just like the little kappa finally returned to the forest, will be far away, but the process of getting along with them is beautiful, so the separation will make people sad, but the beauty in getting along is worth remembering for a lifetime.
The film brings us a pure and simple child's heart, let us see the beauty of the friendship bondage, but also through the film to show us the cruelty of the real society, the ugly side of human nature is vividly presented, kappa originally has no hostility to human beings, but human beings for their own interests to kill them all, fortunately, the ending of the movie is good, let people get some comfort.
The human heart is more terrible than the ghost, but please also retain the truth, goodness and beauty in our hearts.
