John lasseter, the creative director of Disney and Pixar, came to the stage as an award-winning guest and said this:

In the history of world animation, there are two high mountains.

One is Walter Disney, and the other is Miyazaki Hayao.

In this world, Bei Mei selfishly thinks that there are actually three kinds of animated films.

One is warm soup for children to drink; One is adult hot wine.

There is also a very unique one called Spirited Away.

There is really nothing to write about the story of Chihiro.

Time has proved its classics.

It is the best animated feature film in Anne Award, the first foreign language film to win the Oscar for best animated feature film, and the only animated film to win the Golden Bear Award for best film in Berlin Film Festival so far.

Eight years later, its preciousness still cannot be surpassed.

Tomorrow, 2065438+June 2, 20091,Chihiro will officially meet us on the big screen in China for the first time. Although it is late, we have known each other for a long time.

It is worth mentioning that even if most fans have seen it, it can still win the box office championship successfully.

Without the aura of these awards and the hustle and bustle of the market, Miyazaki Hayao's brilliance and story itself would be even more dazzling.

Chihiro, who came into our sight for the first time, was an inexperienced, headstrong and timid little girl who was a little naughty and headstrong. In Tang's words, she "looked dull, spoiled and cried".

On the way to move, she misses her former school and friends, sticks out her tongue at the new school, and expresses her resistance to moving with her little emotions.

Until she broke into the hierarchical demon world, in order to survive, she was taken away by Tang and stayed in the oil mill to work.

From panic to stumbling, from weakness to being forced to grow up.

Here, she met Bailong, Grandpa Boiler, Xiaoling, Qian, Yu Shen, Ju Ying …

We often say that Spirited Away is a classic or masterpiece, but have you ever wondered why it is called God?

Spirited Away's protagonist is a girl of 10 years old, but in essence, this is not a fairy tale.

Miyazaki Hayao is always looking for tolerance or strength in his films. He can empower the good guys and the bad guys equally, and treat destructive monsters and beneficial monsters with tolerance.

Those hideous monsters in the movies are weird, mysterious or fresh, but they all have embarrassing warmth.

What about warmth?

Spirited Away allegorized the so-called adult world with children's language.

In this demon world where Chihiro has gone astray, there is a hidden reality, and the world it depicts is the real world in which most people live.

The world is not perfect.

Broken, confused, noisy and impetuous, materialistic, at the same time, there are rules that belong to adults:

Chihiro's parents overeat and abruptly eat themselves into pigs. Lost in materialism and greed, they are easily knocked down by temptation.

On the other hand, Kaonashi is taking care of lonely beings, who are devoured by desires and eager to be purified by love.

Of course, his essence is not bad, he is just too lonely and empty, and those false revelry completely lost him and turned him into a completely different look.

Grandpa Boiler and Xiaoling are both cold but kind-hearted. Their hard work and strong optimism made Chihiro understand the significance and value of work.

Although Tang and Qian, who are dictatorial and mercenary, are twin sisters, their personalities are quite different. They are more like two sides of human nature, pulling and caring for each other.

We often say that if an animation work wants to achieve the ultimate, it must be integrated into the unique cultural color and exclusive civilization background.

200 1 year, Japan's economy declined.

But magically, Spirited Away set a record of 23.5 million people watching and 30.8 billion yen in income in Japan that year, and still sits firmly on the throne of box office champion in Japanese film history.

Warm and healing stories of courage can always comfort anxious audiences. In the movies, you can see the loss of young people, the greed and madness of society, and the complexity of human nature …

This is Mr. Miyazaki Hayao's reflection after he retired from history and faced the shortcomings and mistakes of young people. It was his embarrassing and deliberate behavior.

"Eating too much will turn you into a pig", "People without jobs will become animals", "Get your name back" …

These settings, which were novel when we were ignorant when we were young, can unexpectedly radiate many shining years of understanding when we grow up.

Therefore, "Spirited Away" is an animation suitable for audiences of all ages, and it is also the most thorough work to release Miyazaki Hayao's imagination.

Its core drama has universal resonance.

It is this resonance that makes it more pure as a beautiful animated story.

A friend once asked me: Why do you like Chihiro best among so many animations?

Because Chihiro squatted on the edge of the grass and stuffed the rice ball handed to her by Xiaobai into her mouth, the string of tears could not stop flowing.

Because when Kaonashi gave Chihiro gold, Chihiro said, "I don't want it. I have something to do. I have to go first. " .

Because when Bailong was injured, Chihiro said to Grandpa Boiler: Xiaobai saved me, and I will save him.

Because, when others regard bad luck as bad luck, she can always find the difference in it.

When the dirty and smelly "rotten God" was rejected by all monsters, Chihiro struggled to get up. Finally, her sincere work was rewarded. The rotten god turned out to be a river god.

Because, in Chihiro, we can see good instinct and brave nature.

There are many gaps in Spirited Away, which are related to environmental protection, death, love and education.

The corrupt god keeps Miyazaki Hayao's consistent concern and humanistic appeal for the ecological environment; That one-way train is quietly watching "life and death" go away and never return, and even savoring its sadness.

Elephants are invisible.

The blank part is deeper than the above part.

Most animated scenes in Spirited Away are hand-painted according to real scenes.

As you can see, in the former Studio Ghibli production department, there were no computers on every desk, only brushes and paper.

It takes at least 1 year for a manuscript to become a huge screen scene frame by frame, and sometimes as short as 4 seconds.

Such sincerity and intention can only be combined with the sound system and large screen of the cinema to show its mystery to the greatest extent in generate.

It suddenly occurred to me that at the end of the movie, Bailong said to Chihiro:

"Well, I can only take you here, the rest of the way you want to go, go, don't look back! 」

Just like 10 you, 20-year-old me, 30-year-old him, said to himself, "Go, remember, don't look back."

For 8 years, Chihiro started our youth with a fairy tale, and we ended it with a whole youth.

Chihiro, hello, you are 8 years late for this appointment; Thank you for picking me up and taking care of me all the way.
