Spells in Miyazaki's anime

I answered because I like Miyazaki Hayao's works very much Oh, don't talk nonsense

[Heisei Civet Hopper]

In the Japanese mind, civet cats are a kind of mysterious animal, they will use a kind of illusion similar to blindfolding, their bodies can be changed into any shape, or turn leaves into money or something used to deceive human beings. In this movie, the civet cats are driven out of their residence when a new community construction project is started at Tama NEW TOWN in underground Tokyo. They want to revive the chemistry that has been passed down from ancient times, and they challenge the humans by using this illusion to scare them into putting the project on hold. They recruited the Elder Civets from all over the world and decided to implement the "Demons Don't Fight" program.

In the episode, the civets are deployed at breakneck speed, but before they do so, they transform into a two-legged, upright walking position, which is sure to amuse those who watch. In fact, the atmosphere is dominated by humor, and although there is also an image of a civet cat being run over by a car, it immediately returns to the main tone.

While making the anime, Supervisor Isao Takahata conducted an in-depth and thorough investigation of the relationship between humans and civets, taking into account the habits of civets and legends from around the world, and the inspiration for the creation of this movie came from the civet conservation movement in the Tama Hills area.

While the mood is light, there is still something heavy-handed about watching this movie. For example, at the end of the story, there is a line that you can't forget: "As the TV center said, with the development of the foxes and civets will gradually disappear, can't we make this stop? If foxes and civets disappear, what will happen to rabbits and weasels? They will also gradually disappear, right?"

Yes, if humans are allowed to destroy nature endlessly, then animals will really disappear. Not disappeared, exactly, but "wiped out"!

An absurd war has come to an end, but when will the war between humans and nature stop? Is there not a ****same way to survive? What does the "Heisei Beaver War" tell us?

[The Cat's Favor]

It was an unusual morning. Woken up by his alarm clock, and seeing that he was going to be late for school, Haru rushed to get to school, but the relentless school bell had already rung. The last thing Haru wanted was to make a fool of herself in front of her beloved Machida-kun.

As Haru prepares to skip school under the cover of her best friend Hiromi, a cat is about to be run over by a speeding truck. In the nick of time, Hiromi's polo tennis racket instantly saves the cat from being run over by a speeding truck. The cat bowed to Haru like a human and quickly left, leaving Haru speechless with amazement at the cat's unusual behavior. This was all it took to unveil the beginning of this marvelous story.

That night, a large group of cats gathered out of nowhere in front of Haru's house. Suddenly, a line of cats appeared, surrounded by a cat car, in which sat none other than Elvis Presley. It turns out that the cat Haru saved during the day is the King's son. The King of Cats came to thank Haru for saving his life, gave him a declaration of happiness, and then left in his car.

The next day, a series of strange events began to unfold. Hiromi's house was full of polo tennis rackets, and the yard was full of cats. The shoebox at school was stuffed with gifts from the mice. Just as Haru was stunned by the suddenness of the events, Elvis appeared out of nowhere. He offers to take Haru on a trip to the cat kingdom. In her confused state of mind, Haru unknowingly accepts the promise of becoming the princess of the cat prince, Lune.

An incredible voice suddenly sounded above Haru's head. "Haru, go to the cat office". Seduced by the voice, Haru meets MUTA, a feral cat on the street, and Baron, a humanoid cat in a dollhouse, who transforms into an elegant baron cat.

Haru enters the cat office and listens to Baron's companions, Muta and the big raven, Toto, who tell him what happened, and Baron agrees to go to the cat country for Haru. At this time, there was a knock on the door of the office, because of Baron's words and peace of mind Haru, no doubt opened the door, I did not expect to come to the Elvis Presley! Suddenly, a large group of cats rushes into the house, and Haru is taken to the cat kingdom, followed by Baron, Muta, and Toto.

The cat kingdom is preparing for a grand wedding. As he watched, whiskers began to grow on his face and his ears turned into cat ears as the thought of living in the cat kingdom suddenly crossed his mind. If he doesn't get out of the cat kingdom before dawn, Haru will become a real cat.

Then Baron suddenly appeared. With Elvis constantly in the way, Haru, Baron, MUTA and TOTO desperately run towards the exit. Will Haru make it back to the real world?

[Lupin III - The City of Calliostro]

It is said that when the voice of Lupin passed away several years ago during the Japanese airing of the show, people were saddened by the fact that they would not be able to see or hear Lupin's newest work ever again, but luckily, a master imitator appeared and reproduced Lupin's voice flawlessly, and Lupin's fans were once again revitalized. And thus a great story was made...what a stretch.

Since 1967, when ACTION, a weekly manga magazine from Futaba, was launched, the legend of Lupin III's immortality has been alive and well. What really caused the Lupin whirlwind, however, was the TV version of the anime Lupin III four years later! The staff members involved in this series of animation works are all today's heavyweight animation masters, such as Unity Izaki of "Tennis Girl" and "Black Jack", Kifumi Kondo of "Valley of Hearts", and so on, and the one who deserves the most credit for this work is the production supervisor at the time, Yasuo Otsuka. Even though he was only involved in the production of one TV version and one theatrical version of the Lupin anime, he gave these characters a real soul, and since then almost all the Lupin anime works have followed Mr. Otsuka's Lupin settings, and even the characters who are now in the 'Motion Picture' series are the same.

[Totoro]

Totoro is a calm and heartwarming movie that has made Totoro a household name all over the world. Perfect for families to watch together.

"In our countryside, there are magical little elves who live and frolic and play around us like our neighbors. But they are invisible to ordinary people, and it is said that only the innocent minds of little children can catch their forms. If one listens quietly, the sound of their running can be faintly heard on the wind."

This is the legend that Miyazaki Hayao heard in his hometown when he was a young boy, and as a young man he used to earnestly wait on the trail and look for it among the bushes. When he grew up, he devoted himself to animation production, always remembering the beautiful time he spent in the countryside in his heart, and always remembering this exquisite dream woven for children. It was in this mood that Totoro was born.

May, a young girl, and her younger sister, Ming, move into a new house in the countryside with their father, and the story of Totoro unfolds in a picturesque rural landscape. As their father often has to visit their sick mother in the hospital, the two girls have to get to know their new surroundings by themselves. The sky in the countryside is so blue, the air is so good, there is no hustle and bustle of the traffic, and there are no more high, thick concrete walls. In the embrace of nature, the two children experienced a euphoria they had never felt before.

So they saw the moving chinchillas in the courtyard, the mysterious towering old oak tree, and the litter of chinchillas, big and small, in the tree's hole. Although as fat as a small mountain, but not at all afraid of people, fat chinchillas ah, would you like to make a friend?

In the rain, at the bus stop to see you waiting for the car, still fat, standing in the rain, dad's umbrella is not able to completely cover you? And the whirring cat "bus", sitting on it, flying must feel very good, right?

Mom's condition has changed and she can't come home. When her sister is lost in the woods, the only thing May can do is find the old oak tree and ask Totoro to help her. In the cat "bus" running wild, running through the fields, running over the hill, in this moment the children feel the breath of the trees, hear the wind singing. Just like that first encounter with Totoro, just like the seed that breaks through the ground and becomes a big tree, all of this may just be the innocent dream of a child's heart, which is both real and unreal, reflecting the beautiful sound of the heart.

Hayao Miyazaki loves to depict nature, keen to weave dreams for children, the whole "Totoro" with its usual style of magical realism, the use of some of the natural scenery into the protagonist's stream of consciousness, so that the viewer's heart to get the most genuine **** song. Hayao Miyazaki said:

"Japan is a country blessed with four seasons, full of rich and beautiful natural scenery. And 'Totoro' is to choose the countryside full of nature as the background.

"The clarifying rivers, forests and fields, the people, birds, animals and insects that live in them, the heat and rain of summer, the sudden strong winds and the terrifying darkness of the night ...... are all things that reveal the beauty of Japan. I think it's important to preserve these natural environments where living things can flourish.

"The eccentric creature that appears in the middle of this story, the chinchilla, lived long ago in the depths of the forest in a relaxed manner, never appearing in front of people. "Nature seems to have suffered a great deal of damage over the years, though the flowers, trees, and streams around them all still exist in relation to each other. Flowers, small rocks, insects, etc., some of which are not quite as beautiful in appearance, though it is possible to try to touch them with your hands and observe them carefully."

Get a chance to go to the countryside and watch the wheat dance, listen to the wind sing, sit on the hedgerow and meditate, and maybe you'll be able to hear the chinchilla breathing beside you, too.

<Hear the waves> is a TV MOVIE, relative to the production cost of the movie is a little lower, but this does not affect <Hear the waves> the production level, on the contrary, is also a rare classic student love literary drama. The movie is based on the novel of the same name published in "Monthly Animage", which depicts the love and friendship of high school students who can't express their feelings in words. The author, Saeko Komuro, is a popular young girl novelist. The work follows the same path as "Side Ear" and "Fairytale of the Years," but with a twist on the stuidioghibli adventure. Katsutoshi Kondo, who was in charge of the illustrations during the serialization, also served as character designer and artwork supervisor, and the backgrounds in the anime use light-colored undertones, which is very much in line with the overall atmosphere of the work. Supervision was provided by Tomotsuharu Wangetsu, who directed "Orange Road".

[Flying Red Pigman ]

Blue skies, white clouds, and the sea, this is the whole of a pilot's life. In the age of flight, which is full of dreams, there is a bounty-earning flying hunter on the beautiful Adriatic Sea, whose red biplane and superior flying skills are known to the people. He was Poluk Rosso, known as the "Red Pig".

[Ghost Princess]

The original "Ghost Princess" is translated as "Odd Lady of Things".

The word "Ogre-hime" is used to refer to the spirit of nature. Japan is a country that honors the spirits of nature, and they believe that everything in nature is protected by spirits, and that flowers, plants, trees, rivers, mountains, and even rocks have spirits, including the familiar Kappa and Kitsune, etc. In the Tale of Genji, there is a story about a woman who was born in the middle of a river. In the Tale of Genji, there is a story of "Sengoku Sakusho", in which the Japanese believe that even if a person is alive, due to his/her desire or illness, his/her Sengoku will drift away from his/her body and attach to another person, and the person attached will even sound and gesture exactly like the Sengoku Sakusho, which is very impressive, right?

The story takes place in the Muromachi period of Japan, which lasted from 13XX to 15XX, when the society was in the midst of war.

The people of that time fled into the mountains to build their homes to escape the war and harsh government, setting fire to the mountains but destroying the environment for the animals in the forest, and being attacked by fierce beasts led by the boar god and the inu god.

The young warrior Ashitaka, a descendant of the warrior clan, kills a pig god to protect his village and is under a spell. In order to break the spell, he traveled to the western town of Tadara. The people of Tadara were suffering from the evils of the Inu-god there. What is even more unbelievable is that the dog god has raised a young girl who wears a mask and hunts humans together with the dog god, known as the Ghost Princess, Shanshan. The thread of fate binds these two young people together.

The guardian of the forest's canine gods, pig gods, and living creatures is the gryphon, who rules over life and death, and who also holds the means to undo the spell. Tadara's leader, Mirage Hime, believes the villagers will be spared the suffering of the Inu God if they kill the unicorn, and a bloody battle is inevitable.......

Since 1980, Mr. Miyazaki has been planning a movie about a young girl's love story. Mr. Miyazaki had been working on "The Story of a Young Girl's Love" since 1980, and finally went into full production in 1995, at a cost of 2 billion yen. In the last half year, his right hand was overworked and he had to receive massage treatment while continuing to work, and "The Phantom Princess" became the final work of Mr. Miyazaki.

July 12, 1997 release, to the following year, February **** 184 days of release, box office receipts of 17.9 billion yen, an average of "day into the money". It reached 30 million viewers nationwide. The theme song was composed by Jean Hisaishi, with lyrics by Hayao Miyazaki, and sung by Miyoshi Yira. The same single album was released 383,000 copies in that year (that is, the song "929" covered by Su Huilun), and other peripheral products countless, but also drive the sales of animation video of the previous work "Totoro", "Valley of the Wind", "Sideways Listening", "On Your Mark" into the year's top six. Miyazaki then announced his retirement from Studio Ghibli, and in 1998 Disney bought out Ghibli's overseas rights, and "The Phantom Princess" was released in all U.S. and European markets ......

[Goodbye Firefly]

"On the night of September 21st, Showa 20, I died. died."

This is the first line of the animated movie Goodbye Firefly, and it instantly sets a sad tone for the production.

A ragged teenager, his breath dying, lies in a station where people come and go, heading toward the end of his short 14-year-old life, in Japan a month after the defeat of the war.

In a trance, the boy sees his dead sister, and the summer of fireflies.

The brother and sister were happy then, and the small metal box filled with candies, the fireflies flying in the sky, the brother's running through the night holding his sister's hand, and his sister's silver-bell laughter all became a relentless prelude to the tragedy that was about to unfold next.

The air raids began, and his mother died suddenly during the bombing. In front of this sudden blow, all his brother could do was to hide the news of his mother's death from his young sister. On the empty square, the older brother sold for the sister crying to find his mother to perform the bar, the sunset two thin figure looks so thin. Perhaps it was at that moment that the older brother tried to carry all the sadness and decided to hold up a clear sky without rain for his younger sister in the chaotic ruins.

The two siblings went to their relatives, but the war had alienated them, and the lack of material goods had made them even more indifferent to each other. More and more blank stares and fewer and fewer bowls of rice clearly show that they must leave. The brother finally decides to take his sister and move away to build a home of his own. But as he sang his way happily away, could he have predicted their irreversible and tragic fate due to that war?

The fireflies flew again, but the siblings' bad luck kept coming. Hunger and disease became the biggest problems that plagued them. In order for his sister to be able to stop starving, the brother had to steal, and while the airplanes were bombing, and he was overwhelmed every time he found something to eat in the home he had fled. The movie gives more ink to this life, the abandoned home, the desolate wilderness, every detail looks so real, between tranquility and cruelty, indifference and warmth coexist.

(Soundtrack: Brother is caught stealing, and after being severely beaten, he is taken to the police station, where the police are sympathetic to his situation and release him.)

In the darkness of an abandoned cave, the older brother catches fireflies into a mosquito net, which dances brightly in the sweltering summer night. Brother will be sleeping sister held tightly for fear of a loose hand will be lost again. At only 14 years old, he didn't realize that war itself meant loss.

There is only one night in a firefly's life, and everything passes in the smoky summer wind.

(Soundtrack footage: The younger sister gently buries the tiny body of last night's firefly into the small grave she dug, and says to the older brother, "I miss my mommy, and my mommy's in the grave too." The brother looked at his sister with wide-eyed surprise.)

It turned out that her sister had already known that her mother was gone and understood the meaning of death and the grave at such a young age. A handful of the tiny bodies of fireflies fell from Setsuna's hands, mixing with the dirt and turning to dust, and it was as if the older brother saw his mother's equally fragile flesh burning to ashes. Death struck his brother's young, strong heart once more, and the tears that rolled down his cheeks at that moment may have been for his mom, or for the firefly, or maybe just for the unbearable fragility of life.

The firefly, can only live one night. In the beautiful night, it shows its beauty to the fullest, and then falls quietly in the darkness. The harsh environment made Setsuko with eczema, but they had no money to go to the doctor, not to mention the money to buy the medicine ...... Finally, the young sister did not escape the double torture of hunger and disease, and died tragically.

The day Setsuna died was also in a night full of fireflies, she contained a smile, in the most beautiful scenery to find that only in the dream can live a happy life.

When the fireflies lit up again, the small metal box containing candy, the little girl named Setsuko with her silver-bell-like laughter, the air-raid shelter at the foot of the mountain with a swing at the entrance, and the fireflies flying all over the sky,......, all of these shots make people feel a kind of suffocating sadness.

(Soundtrack footage: Brother calmly lights the small bamboo basket holding his sister's body on fire, blood-red flames flickering in the bottom of his no-longer-clear eyes.)

Everything is so cruel, everything is so insensitive, everything is so futile in the face of war. The older brother had fought as hard as he could for his sister and himself to survive, but he still couldn't keep the only loved one. Despair comes with the night, when the flame gradually extinguished, the ghost of the fireflies for the lonely brother sang the most touching melody, one after another rising glow in the farthest sky into a warm smile. That was all that the war had taken from his life, all his loved ones.

"Goodbye Firefly", a seemingly simple anti-war theme, a series of slightly bland plot, however, there are few animated films that can make so many viewers in tears, knuckle, the film that love candy little girl, her knitted brows and smile, a cry, and even the sound of each breath is so real, heartbreaking.

Some of the names may not be the same, but I bought the CD-ROM on this name, I wrote it clearly, huh
