What will you encounter when you walk in?
At the end of the passage, it may be birds and flowers, or it may be devastated; There may be huge treasures or huge monsters; It may be full of vitality, or it may be a dead silence; If there is a creature, it may be kind and simple, or it may be vicious. If you go in like this, you may get happiness, and when you come out, you may only get death and never come back.
It is such a passage, and its end is hidden in the invisible darkness. Dare you walk in like this?
Human curiosity is a double-edged sword.
Chihiro and his parents moved to a house built on the top of the mountain. His father drove the wrong way and came to such a passage. Parents are curious, Chihiro has an instinctive fear.
The little girl, whose appearance is not natural beauty and temperament is not very attractive, looks sad, in sharp contrast to her parents who are full of housewarming, and is still struggling to leave the familiar environment and friends.
The wind at the mouth of the passage draws inward, like a dark mouth, trying to swallow it.
However, parents didn't have the imagination and went in without scruple. Chihiro didn't want to be left alone outside, so he had to follow him.
When he walked out of the corridor, Chihiro seemed too worried. Outside, there are birds and flowers, full of green.
Without the glamorous appearance of the traditional heroine in Miyazaki Hayao, Chihiro is just an ordinary little girl. She is timid and loves to cry. When crossing the channel, she will hold her mother's arm tightly, and when crossing the stream, she will be all thumbs. There doesn't seem to be much interest. However, wait a minute, let's take a look at the later development.
Empty streets, silent shops, this place seems abandoned, revealing a desolation. Surprisingly, however, there is a shop full of food, steaming and smelling attractive, but there is no owner.
If you think about it calmly, you will find it a bit strange.
Unfortunately, there will never be a shortage of people who are lazy to think, and laziness and arrogance are even worse. Chihiro's parents think they can do anything they want anywhere with money and credit cards, but they don't know that there are many things that money can't buy.
When I saw my parents sit down and start munching, I believe we all have a helpless resentment like Chihiro.
Many times, we all think that children are weak, naive, inexperienced and like to think, but in fact, children often see the details neglected by their parents and have a sharper intuition about danger. This intuition will gradually deteriorate in the process of our socialization, because adults emphasize validity and evidence.
The chimney began to smoke, the train passed under the bridge, and the sun set. The intersection of day and night is not only the intersection of a certain time, but also represents a profound significance, even deep enough to separate the two worlds.
When fate came, Chihiro was lying on the bridge watching the train. A handsome little boy came up and urged her to run. Chihiro was confused, but he didn't have time to think too much. Time flies, everything that seems ordinary during the day will show another face in the dark; Creatures that sneak in during the day will wander around in the dark. The shops on both sides suddenly came back from the dead in a short time, red lanterns crackled like red eyes, and ghosts appeared in the shops. This is a horrible and complicated world, which is not a normal human scene at all. Chihiro seems to be out of place with her surroundings. She is anxiously looking for her parents.
Finally came to the store before, Chihiro pulled her father's shoulder, but looking back, she was a pig face with a long mouth and big ears. Her body was almost round and shiny under the torn clothes. Two pigs fell to the ground under their master's whip, and Chihiro ran away screaming.
She ran down the steps at the end of the street quickly, only to find that the steps had not been flooded and the way back was cut off. On the newly-formed river, a brightly-lit boat came slowly, the springboard was on the shore, and all the guests in the cabin came out, which looked weird and inhuman.
It's a tense rhythm, treading on thin ice. Niggers suddenly appeared in the street, humans turned into pigs, sudden floods and strange creatures of unknown origin. Even in such an environment, we will feel helpless and desperate, let alone a lonely and helpless little girl. What is even more frightening is that Chihiro finds herself transparent, and she will disappear into a world that does not belong to her! At this time, even we can't help asking Chihiro the same question: What kind of ghost is this? What should Chihiro do?
When doing nothing, the handsome boy appeared again.
I feel cold, it is the chill of layers of invasion. I am helpless in this strange and terrible world. Only your face can give me familiarity, your arms can give me warmth, and your comfort can give me courage.
However, you are a familiar stranger.
When I am sensible, you are ignorant; By the time you were sensible, I had already traveled far away. Interlaced time and space will never meet at the most appropriate point. Your past, my future. Different times, the same situation; Different places, same people. The sadness and reunion of two worlds, I know you, but you don't know me.
Boys are like the saviors of Chihiro. The world around him is crazy, and only this boy looks like the most normal person, as if he is a door to the world he is familiar with. At that time, as long as such a person appeared in the local area, he must also be given complete trust. But the appearance of this savior has deepened our doubts: who is he? Why does he know Chihiro? Why help her again? What the hell is this place? All these questions remain unanswered. The boy guided Chihiro to find Grandpa Boiler and then disappeared from our sight. Oh, his name is Xiao Bai.
Grandpa Boiler is a weirdo with a long beard and many hands. I think his prototype is probably a spider or something. Contrary to his strange appearance, his heart is very kind, which will soon be seen, including Xiaoling, who brought him food. She is also a kind-hearted woman. They helped Chihiro find a job here so that Chihiro would not become an animal. Xiaobai will entrust Chihiro to these two people, not casually. Then Xiaoling signed a contract with the witch Tang here. Only then did I know what this place was: it was originally a bathing place for eight million immortals to relax, and Tang was the owner of the bathing place. At first Tang didn't want to accept it, but at her insistence, she finally had no choice but to sign a contract with her.
After signing a contract with Tang, Tang cast a spell to catch all three words in his signature, leaving only one word "money". After this spell was finished, Chihiro suddenly forgot his name and only knew that he was "Hanazono Sakura".
The setting here is very interesting. Miyazaki Hayao painted all the gods strangely, never being human, not as beautiful or noble as people usually think, but more like monsters in our impression. In the baths where God goes in and out, they are as greedy and snobbish as humans. The boss Tang went down, and everyone smelled of copper. Bath is a microcosm of pragmatism and money worship in the whole society. Money makes the mare go, and the celestial world seems to be unable to avoid customs. The mystery and superiority of the gods were immediately broken, and only a rotten smell filled all the spaces in the sky and underground.
In this suffocating uncomfortable air, Chihiro is like a fresh wind. Her mind is like an unpolluted pure land, pure and beautiful. Only children who are not familiar with the world can keep this feeling of innocence. She doesn't have so many material desires. She works hard and treats everyone equally. Besides my parents, the only thing I care about is Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai's identity is always mysterious. It seems that his position is quite high. After signing the contract, Tang asked him to take it with him. At that time, he was serious and indifferent, calling himself "Mr. Bai." The changes before and after are puzzling, and some even wonder if all this is a trap. He has a close relationship with Don and often goes to see her alone in the middle of the night. The dim light in the distance cast his shadow on the dark wall. Other people in the bath were not impressed by him, so they stayed away from him. The contradiction between these two images is tearing Chihiro apart, which makes her and us more confused.
I feel cold, which is a chill from my heart. In this strange and strange world, I am helpless. If you are my destiny takes a hand's rescuer, why are you so cold and scared me? Please don't abandon me, because you are my only hope.
Fate and identity separate you from me. Time and space crisscross, miss once, miss everything. You are confused and wronged, and I can't help it. Once we were all happy children, now, you are still simple, but my white has been defiled. Be careful, it comes from the dark talons!
People who bathe always sleep during the day and work at night. Early in the morning, Chihiro felt that someone patted her in her sleep, asked her to meet on the bridge and took her to see her parents. Chihiro met Xiaobai on the bridge. Xiaobai took him through the flower stand above his head and came to the pigsty. Her parents have forgotten their old life. They only know how to eat and sleep. Under the flower stand, Xiao Bai brought Chihiro food. Chihiro ate and cried, and big tears fell down. It was a beautiful picture, with towering flower stands and two figures side by side below, giving people a warm but sour feeling.
Xiaobai brought Chihiro the clothes she wore when she came. In her pocket, there is a friend's farewell card with Chihiro's name written on it. Only then did Chihiro remember his real name. Said don took other people's names to control others. He won't leave if he can't remember his name. Xiao Bai can't remember his name.
It seems that it is not the first time to hear the legend of using someone else's name. People whose names are taken away usually become confused and forget who they are. Names represent a person's identity, his self-identity and self-identity. Being robbed of your name means being robbed of yourself. Since then, a person has forgotten his identity and his goal, and has become a lost person without independent consciousness and has to be controlled by others. I think this is the greatest significance of this cartoon. Although it reflects many other things, such as environmental protection, such as social reality, the whole story is about the process of finding oneself. Chihiro, Xiaobai and later faceless people are typical representatives here.
Here, Chihiro represents the weak side, lonely and helpless, without magic and power; Xiaobai appeared as her rescuer, protecting her, taking care of her and helping her find her identity. For Chihiro, Xiao Bai represents a powerful party. As we can see in our daily life, capable people care about a relatively weak person, give her encouragement, give her confidence and strength, and help her stand up on her own.
However, the subsequent development is not so simple. As a strong person, Xiao Bai is actually confusing his own heart while helping others. Xiaobai is actually a river. His real body exists in the form of a white dragon, the river god. The river was filled with human beings, and Xiaobai was displaced before he came to this place. In order to gain strength and learn magic, he became Tang's apprentice and did some illegal activities for her. But behind the great power, he was deprived of himself by Tang. He doesn't know who he is or why he came. Behind power is emptiness. On the other hand, Chihiro showed her advantages and touched people around her with her innocence and kindness. Chihiro has an unshakable and precious quality. In the face of all kinds of temptations, her inner peace is as calm as a calm lake. When Xiao Bai was seriously injured and unconscious, her call evoked Xiao Bai's only survival instinct; She is willing to take risks in unknown places for Xiaobai; Finally, she reminded Xiaobai and helped him find his name. The rescued person became a rescuer again. Chihiro and Xiaobai helped each other find themselves in the process of helping and saving each other. This is why their relationship is so pure and precious.
The faceless man is a very symbolic and difficult role in the play. At first, out of ignorance and goodwill, Chihiro let him in on a rainy night. No one felt her kindness and no one helped to repay her. A faceless person is a shadow-like thing that can't be seen, just like an illusory existence. They only wear masks in the position equivalent to their faces, and they can't even speak at first. I think it represents a state that is neither good nor bad. It has no self, which is manifested in its lack of its own face. Like an empty container. What you put in will be displayed. So later it swallowed the frog, and it became like a frog, talking about the frog's way of speaking and thinking about the frog's greed and enjoyment. The two people who swallowed it later only deepened this degree. That's why Chihiro later said, "It went bad when it came here." When you spit out everything you swallow, it becomes a primitive state without me and desire.
With the analysis of these three people, we can boldly say that the greatest significance of this animation is to explore the process of self, from losing self, looking for self, to finding self. Only when a person clearly knows who he is can he be regarded as a complete person, have complete happiness, be free from the control of others, and be firm in his own way.
Environmental protection is an eternal part of Miyazaki Hayao animation. Most of the most classic animations are related to environmental protection, and this movie is no exception. The bathing of the river god clearly implies the pollution of the river by human beings, from the strongly exaggerated stench at the beginning to the purity and verve of the river god after the pollution is finally removed. Of course, the protagonist is Chihiro who serves the river god in the bath. Little Shenyang was very satisfied with her, so in the end, in addition to leaving many golden sands, he also gave her a precious gift-Little Shenyang is full of flowers. I don't know Japanese culture, and I don't know what Heshen Maruko means in their legend, and it's not explained in the play, but my guess is that it should have a purifying effect. Chihiro wanted to leave it to his parents, but in the end he didn't. Wan Zi, a small Shenyang, finally played two roles: Bai Longguo gave half of it to Xiao Bai, making him spit out the witch's seal and the worm hidden in Tang Yuyan's stomach. Both of them are things that don't belong to his stomach, especially the insects that control and absorb life must belong to the category of filthy things, so Heshen Pill purified Xiaobai's heart. The other half was given to a degenerate faceless person. At that time, it was confused by money and pleasure, and only knew how to take and possess. He Shen meatballs once again played a role, making him spit out the food and people he swallowed until he finally spit out the first frog he swallowed and recovered. Here, greed and pleasure are the filth of faceless people.
Xiaobai accepted the order and stole the witch's seal for Don Popo. Unexpectedly, the witch was ready and put a spell on the seal. A group of paper birds (or paper men? Chase him into the sea and beat him black and blue. Chihiro just saw it and covered him. Those paper birds are extremely powerful to Xiao Bai, and they have to get Chihiro. For Chihiro, they are just ordinary paper. My understanding is that because the residents here are not human beings, in this magical world, the ordinary paper tape on the earth is very powerful after being enchanted, but it is just ordinary paper on the earth, and so is human beings. When Tang saw that he was dying, he abandoned him and planned to kill him. Here, Chihiro broke out for the first time, which was amazing for a little girl like her. She risked her life for Xiao Bai.
I'm afraid it's too late, I want to hold you! Until I'm sure you're in my arms and you're breathing. You are my life and you are my God. For you, I am willing to go through all kinds of difficulties and obstacles!
The witch turned out to be Tang's twin sister Qian, and borrowed a piece of paper to project her own projection. In order to get her seal back from Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai broke the paper, she disappeared, and Xiao Bai fell down with Chihiro. Under the call of Chihiro, Xiaobai mustered his last strength, rushed into the ventilation duct and came to grandpa's boiler. Xiaobai lost consciousness. Decided to find money, return the seal to her, apologize to her, and beg her to let go. She never thought about what money would do to her if she rushed forward like this. She just wants to do something for Xiao Bai. She just wanted to save him.
As the train drifted away, our hearts lifted inch by inch. What a vicious scene it would be to see a witch? What's more, she is Tang's twin sister. However, the development of the situation once again surprised us. Money lives in a humble cabin. The cabin was warm with the oil lamp on. Money makes its own tea, makes snacks and spins with a small spinning wheel, which is warm and peaceful. In sharp contrast to Tang, he is bejeweled and greedy for money and snobbery. Twin witches are another interesting scene in this play. They have the same appearance but opposite temperament, just like a personality split into two extremes, which has a strong satire and comedy effect, and the author's praise and criticism are clear at a glance. Kaonashi finally stayed here and had the best home. Money is given to a headrope, which is an amulet.
When I stayed in money, I woke up. Without the control of the worm, he seems to be much more determined, and he exchanged terms with Tang to let her put his family back into the human world.
I love you very much, so I am willing to help you and return to your original world. It's a miracle that you can come here, but you don't belong here. Only by setting you free can I feel at ease.
Suddenly it was windy outside Qianmen. When I opened the door, I saw people who were waiting anxiously. A brave white dragon was standing in the local area. She burst into tears of joy and rushed to hug him. Xiao Bai and Chihiro fly together. Chihiro remembered a story her mother told her. When she was a child, she once fell into a river. This story not only explains Xiao Bai's life and past, but also explains how they met. This also reminds Xiaobai that his name, Nigihayami Kohakunushi, is actually the river god of Amber River. Amber changed from a dragon to a human being. They were in mid-air, and tears flew out and fell to the ground. Seeing the flying in the air again is undoubtedly the most emotional part of the whole play, which makes people feel surging and their eyes moist.
No matter how long it takes, the sealed memory will never be forgotten. At the right time, facing the right person, everything is aroused.
Even if I forget myself, I haven't forgotten you. It turns out that everything has long been doomed, and the karma planted in previous lives has borne the fruit of this life.
When he arrived, Tang Jean recognized his parents from a group of pigs. Chihiro is keenly aware that there are no parents there. I don't know how she did it, and there is no explanation in the play. I have to take this mystery with me and enjoy it until the end.
Amber took Chihiro's hand and came to the steps when she first came.
"I can't send it here. Chihiro just needs to find his way. But you must remember, don't look back until you get out of the tunnel. "
"Small white? What about Xiaobai? "
"I will discuss with my mother-in-law and stop being his apprentice. It doesn't matter, I have found my original name, and I will return to my original world. "
"Will we meet again?"
"I will!"
"Of course!"
"Of course! Let's leave now. Don't look back. "
Let go of your hand and your heart. Her parents are waiting for her at the foot of the mountain. It is as calm as when I came, but my mood is quite different. Chihiro really didn't look back. He still clung to his mother's arm when crossing the channel.
Out of the passage, I found that the car had disappeared in the dead leaves and weeds, which seemed to have passed for many years. Like a dream, my parents don't remember anything, and everything is back to the original point. Are these all true? Or is this just an illusion after all? Finally, Chihiro finally turned around, and the headrope on his head drew a fleeting light.
We'll meet again, right?
I believe I will.
I transferred this from other places.
