Japanese anime that never forgets anything will actually present the cruel reality and give the audience reasonable and specific guidance. Instead of hiding the gray-black kernel in a warm phenomenon, it makes the heart feel chilly.
Ghibli's animation can be divided into three categories: one is surreal, including the film director's own educational reflection and pronunciation; "The Valley of the Wind" and "The Ghost Princess" mainly show Miyazaki Hayao's animated thinking about man and nature. Even adults can hardly explain the question he left behind: how should man and nature coexist.
This theme is mainly reflected in Gao Tianxun's The Battle of the Beaver in Heisei in another way. "Red Pig" and "The Wind is Blowing" show reflections on war: How can my happiness survive under the fluctuation of war? Similarly, Gao Tianxun's Tomb of Fireflies is the most unforgettable animated film I have ever seen, and there is no one.
The second category is pure broken warm therapy movies, Miyazaki Hayao animated My Neighbor Totoro's "The Witch Family Gang" and "Jin Yuji on the Cliff"; Gao Tianxun's Panda Family, Fairy Tales of the Years and My Neighbor Jun Yamada; Give ear to listen by given Kant; Hiroyuki Morita's Thanksgiving of Cats; Including Goro Miyazaki's Mountains in Bloom. It is the meaning of this healing system.
The third category is between the first two, with complex diversity and thinking, but it also gives people warmth with a satisfactory result. This category is also the most commented category in Ghibli's films, such as Miyazaki Hayao's Animation City in the Sky, Spirited Away's Hal's Moving Castle, Qiuyue Zhichong's Hearing the Waves, and Hiromasa Yonebayashi's Aglietti, a little man who borrows things. Goro Miyazaki also wanted to achieve this goal in the land-sea war, but it was very unsuccessful.
To sum up, Ghibli's films are not without profound reflection. There are many movies about death, disease and war, of course, but their popularity is not very high. If Miyazaki Hayao Animation or Gao Tianxun wants to add their own pronunciation to their works, they can make a movie similar to The Wind and the Tomb of Fireflies.
Why do you want to hide the negative gray-black elements with the aura of death in the warm My Neighbor Totoro? I don't understand the reason for doing that. Today's social platforms seem to have a trend. It seems that the more bizarre a work is expressed, the greater the amount of data, and the more it can reflect the reader's depth and mastery of creation.
"My Neighbor Totoro" and "Tomb of Fireflies" were released at the same time, but the fireflies went too far and praised them, but the good times did not last long. However, my neighbor totoro praised it for a long time, because the warm and healing animation can attract the audience more, and everyone is fed up with setbacks in practice, so naturally they want to go into the cinema to find warmth better.
The gap in box office also promoted the influence of Miyazaki Hayao Animation and Gao Tianxun in Studio Ghibli to some extent, which is naturally not the focus of this paper. After the extraordinary success in My Neighbor Totoro, Studio Ghibli's logo was included in My Neighbor Totoro, and its influence was equivalent to Pixar's little jumping lamp. It has also become a very good doll brand image sold by Ghibli. This shows that it is a lively and lovely soft monster, and it is impossible to be a representative of death.
Is Kaonashi in Spirited Away a metaphor for his death? Equally unlikely, he is a representative of people's excessive greed. Similarly, Tang's father and mother are all representatives of greed. Spirited Away's theme is kindness, true feelings and sacred friendship. What is resisted is endless greed.
Hebo's part clearly embodies the theme, and people who care about whether the White Dragon will die may not remember this part easily at all. In fact, Bailong still needs to confront Tang, which will naturally be unsuccessful. But this is not the central idea of Spirited Away at all, let alone the shadow of death. Miyazaki Hayao anime's mother does have tuberculosis, but can this be used as proof of black fairy tales? Because of the tragedy of childhood, it is not Miyazaki Hayao's cartoons that cast a shadow of death on children, but the German Nazis.
