"Sky Castle"

In 1985, Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata founded an animation production unit together, which later became the famous Studio Ghibli. . Ghibli is the name of a type of cyclone near the Mediterranean Sea. This small studio has the best production staff, but its financial resources are not strong, and it is even a bit anti-commercial. On average, Ghibli cannot produce one animated film a year. However, such an anti-commercial group can achieve commercial success - the box office revenue of each film is enough to make any film company jealous.

In 1986, Ghibli released its first film "Castle in the Sky" (Castle in the Sky). The film revolves around the magical flying stone. The protagonists are Paishu, a boy who works in the mine, and Shida, a girl who falls from the sky. They embark on an adventure to prevent the floating island Leptai Island (a reference to Swift's "Gulliver's Travels") associated with the Flying Stone from being exploited by bad guys. The heroine Shida's lines are thought-provoking: "I finally understand the reason for Leptai's demise: ...even though there are terrible weapons and many, many robots, it can't live without the soil. Don't you think of all these?" Don’t you know? “The floating island with the ability to destroy the world was eventually abandoned by people, but there are always people who want to find it and use it to control the world. This is a fast-paced and colorful work. Although it has the taste of an entertainment film (if you want to get started, this film is indeed the first choice), it also has the depth of thought.

"Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind"

In 1982, Hayao Miyazaki began serializing the comic "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" in Tokuma Shoten's magazine Animage. In 1984, Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata collaborated to bring this work to the screen. The movie "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" tells a fictional story: a huge industrial civilization was destroyed. 1,000 years later, the earth is filled with pollution that can kill people and terrible giant insects (called "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind"). As the "king insect"). There is a small, remote country located in the Nausicaa of the Wind - one of the few pollution-free oases. Nausica?, the princess of a small country, is brave and kind. She is the only healthy child in the family. She is good at using a glider to fly in the wind. She is a bit "rebellious" and is close to the king insect. In order to protect the Valley of the Wind from being polluted, she bravely faced the world of intrigues and intrigues, and discovered the true secrets of the world's guardians and destroyers with a pure heart full of love. The name Nausicaa comes from "The Odyssey". She is a symbol of courage, health and hope created by Hayao Miyazaki.

Nausica? has become the audience’s favorite female animated character, and her charm remains strong after more than 10 years. Hayao Miyazaki also became an influential animation director because of this film. The important theme of "man and nature" in his works was established at this time.

It is worth mentioning that it took Hayao Miyazaki 13 years to complete the comic version of "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind". This comic explores themes such as human beings, nature, civilization, conflict, life and its existence. A deeper discussion than the film version of "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" can be said to be the development process of Hayao Miyazaki's own thoughts. It is called an epic work and a classic among classics

"Princess Mononoke" 》

Since "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind", Hayao Miyazaki has been thinking about the relationship between man and nature. In 1995, he began to produce a long-planned movie, the content of which was precisely to show the conflict between man and nature. This is the famous "Princess Mononoke" (もののけhime). The story takes place in Japan's Muromachi period (14th to 16th century AD). In that turbulent era, people exploited natural resources at will, causing considerable damage to the environment, and conflicts between humans and various gods of nature arose (this is a Japanese pantheistic view that all things are controlled by corresponding gods) ). If humans want to survive, they must cut down forests, and the disappearance of forests leaves animals without a place to live. Young Ashitaka came to western Japan in search of a way to break his own spell, but was accidentally involved in a lose-lose war. He got acquainted with Xiaoshan (known as "Princess Mononoke"), a human girl raised by an Inugami. This film is also a "girl's love story". Should Xiaoshan belong to humans or nature? How can the conflict between man and nature be resolved? Miyazaki felt unable to answer this question. The film ends with the death of the Qilin Beast, which is in charge of all life, in exchange for the restoration of the natural environment.

Xiaoshan said to Ashitaka: "I like you, but I can't forgive humans." The answer she got was: "It doesn't matter, let's live together!" Since there is no solution, she can only continue to exist Go down.

"Porco Rosso".

"I would rather be a pig than join the fascists!" The story of "Porco Rosso" (Red Pig, 1992) takes place twice Italy between the World Wars. Russell Bogo (transliteration of "Porco Rosso" in Italian) used to be an ace pilot, but now makes a living hunting down air bandits on the Adriatic Sea. However, no one knows his true face - because he placed a curse on himself and turned into a pig face.

This film is considered to be Hayao Miyazaki's "autobiographical" work. Bogo, who has a pig face, is the portrayal of Hayao Miyazaki who has entered middle age. Hayao Miyazaki likes flying, Italy, and pigs (!), and these elements are all reflected in the film.

Miyazaki Hayao once said that when you enter middle age, you will become a pig. However, at the end of the film, Bogo finally realized the true meaning of human nature and turned back into a human form - some people say that if that face could be seen, it might be Hayao Miyazaki's own face.

The thirteen-year-old witch Kiki, in One clear full-moon night, I took the black cat Jiji to another city to practice spiritual practice. The protagonist Kiki's Delivery Service (Kiki's Delivery Service), filmed in 1989, is no exception. She came to a seaside town, stayed in a kind-hearted person's home, and made a living by "Witch's Express Delivery" (that is, flying on a broomstick to deliver parcels for others). A person who makes a living alone in a strange city will always encounter setbacks, so Qiqi temporarily lost the ability to fly. Only with the warmth of friendship, can Qiqi regain her confidence and fly into the sky again. Although the flying broom scenes are quite enjoyable to watch, the more important thing in this film is "growth" and the power of friendship.

If "Castle in the Sky" is a boy's adventure film and "My Neighbor Totoro" is a family favorite, then "Kiki's Delivery Service" is a film about girls' growth. Female viewers may be able to appreciate it better.

Grave of the Fireflies

(Grave of Fireflies)

Original work: Nosaka Akiru

Script. Director: Takahata Saki

Music: Mamiya Yoshio

Animation director: Kondo Yoshifumi

Legendary: Momo Yoshiyuki

Art: Yamamoto Ersan

Color design: Michio Yasuda

At the end of World War II, the U.S. military launched violent bombings against Japan, and the city was plunged into a sea of ??flames. Seida and Setsuko's home was burned down, and their mother died as a result. The siblings took refuge with their aunt.

"On September 21, Showa 20, I died." This is the opening line. After their mother died in an air raid, 14-year-old Seita and her younger sister Setsuko escaped from home and depended on each other during the war. Objectively speaking, the final outcome of the story is known from the beginning. Let us look back at their previous lives with two dead people!

The entire film is completely immersed in a dark and sad atmosphere and proceeds quietly. The story tells the story of two brothers and sisters who became war orphans in Japan during World War II. Because they couldn't get along with their distant relatives who were forced to take care of them, they lived in a nearby abandoned air raid shelter. In the end, they could not escape the torture of starvation and died one after another. .

When the brother and sister died, it almost took away the tears of all the audience. Indeed, the whole story is a tragedy. At the beginning of the film, the souls of the two brothers and sisters and the lingering fireflies are brought out in flashbacks. Such a tragic story, the audience's heart immediately sank.

Although it is difficult to recreate the scene at that time, the work still describes the burning fields after the air raid and the life at that time. This is a work that realistically reproduces daily life advocated by Director Takahata Sao. The creators used this film to accuse the cruelty of war and warn people of the scourge of war. I hope we can avoid war as much as possible.

My Neighbor Totoro

There is a magical elf that sows tree seeds on the forest paths and plays the Ocarina flute in the moonlight. Yet only a pure-hearted child can see it. This is "My Neighbor Totoro" (となりのトト口) in 1988. In the film, the two sisters are able to communicate with Totoro without using words. The younger sister gets lost in the countryside to meet her mother who is sick and hospitalized, and Totoro eventually helps them meet her mother. My Neighbor Totoro, which looks a bit like a cross between a cat and a bear, is one of the most popular animated characters for adults and children. "My Neighbor Totoro" is the most heartwarming and touching of Hayao Miyazaki's works. It is suitable for the whole family to watch together. Maybe it can awaken your long-lost childlike innocence. Children and fat chinchillas plant oak trees in the summer night, stand on tops and fly across the fields. There must be a gentle cool breeze accompanying them. Ah, is that a sweet dream?

"Howl's Moving Castle"

Miyazaki Hayao's "Spirited Away" once achieved the highest attendance of 23.4 million people in Japan, and even won an Oscar in the United States. and the Berlin Golden Bear.

Three years later, Hayao Miyazaki released his latest work "Howl's Moving Castle". The story takes place in Europe at the end of the 19th century. The kind and lovely Sophie is cursed by a vicious witch. , from an 18-year-old girl to a 90-year-old mother-in-law. Lonely and helpless, she accidentally walked into the moving castle outside the town. It is said that its owner Hal took pleasure in absorbing the souls of girls, but things were not as popular as people said. The terrifying, eccentric Hal actually took in Sophie, and the two began a wonderful life together in a four-legged moving castle. A love story intertwined with love and pain, joy and sorrow quietly unfolded amidst the flames of war. ...

The story of "Spirited Away" takes place in modern times, but it is a work with a fantasy color. Ten-year-old Chihiro Ogino and her parents stumbled into an incredible town while moving. There, Chihiro's parents mistakenly ate the food given to the gods and turned into pigs. Qianxun was rescued by a young boy, Xiaobai, and worked in a bathhouse in the town. However, her name was taken away by the owner of the bathhouse, Granny Yu, leaving only the word "Qian". If she forgets her original name, Qianxun will never be able to return to the normal world; if her parents are not rescued in time, they will be eaten. Faced with these difficulties that she had never encountered before, Qianxun burst out the "power of life" from the depths of her heart, and finally saved her friends and parents, and left this illusion.

Chihiro is an ordinary girl who cannot be more ordinary. She is in sharp contrast to Nausicaa in "Nausica? of the Valley of the Wind": Chihiro is weak, has never been in danger, and is not interested in the outside world. An expression of indifference and unconcern. However, she showed amazing courage and perseverance in difficult situations. This is not an adventure in the ordinary sense, but a spiritual adventure. Hayao Miyazaki believes that modern children have received too much care and have lost their most precious instincts. This film reflects Chihiro's growth process.
