On September 12th, I believe that Hayao Miyazaki’s fans noticed a heavy news
Ghibli Studio will convert the original film of “My Neighbor Totoro” into digital, released and re-released
The repaired digital version is expected to be introduced at the end of the year.
If it is released, this will be the first work released by Miyazaki in China
毒药君 is really unable to hold the heart of the chicken jelly, you must talk to everyone –
“My Neighbor Totoro”.
Tonari no Totoro.
“My Neighbor Totoro” is not the highest animation of the Ghibli studio box office, nor the highest score
However, it is one of Miyazaki’s most influential works
In the “Top Ten” list of the Century, the ranking of “My Neighbor Totoro” is so high that it is scary. Ranked in the top 20 of the Top 100 list, proper Japanese animation NO.1.
Among the personal top 100 films selected by Akira Kurosawa, Totoro is the only cartoon selected
“The Super Marines” in the role of Dabai’s role design director Jin, said Hayao Miyazaki is his life idol
The source of inspiration for Dabai is the Totoro, and pays tribute to the Totoro in the poster design
“Eggs in Toy Story 3” also has the appearance of “My Neighbor Totoro”
The most important thing is the Totoro, but the “Facade of the Studio” of Ghibli Studio!
As the existence of many people’s childhood, the story of “My Neighbor Totoro” will not be repeated
Today I want to talk about a version of a destructive childhood
Come first and feel the poster
In February 2007, the Internet suddenly became popular
“My Neighbor Totoro” is a horror film
It seems to be a fascinating and fascinating case behind a cruel real-life case
The original version of the case was in 1963 in Sayama City, Saitama Prefecture. A 16-year-old female high school student was kidnapped and blackmailed, and finally the ticket was robbed and killed
The victim’s sister, who committed suicide at home shortly after the incident, is also unknown
After the inexplicable outbreak of the “My Neighbor Totoro” horror, the case evolved into the following:
A little girl went out to find her mother, and the result was missing. After a few days, she found the body in the forest and was cut 16 knives
Going out to find my sister’s sister to see this scene, it was hit hard
While writing a transcript to the police, my sister said a bunch of “cat monsters” and “see a big civet cat monster” and other strange words
As a result, the adapted version of the case has a more pronounced relevance to the “My Neighbor Totoro”
And in order to confirm this correlation, some people have dug up a lot of evidence of the destruction of childhood
For example, the Sayama incident occurred on May 1st during the Showa era
It happens that the names of the two sisters, one is called satuki and the other is May
The former is May in Japanese and the latter is May in English
For example, when the neighbor’s grandmother helped organize things, the box behind them was written with the word “small mountain tea”
For example, the corn that my sister is eager to remember means “killing children” in the homonym of Japanese
In addition, there are many metaphors about death
My Neighbor Totoro is one of more than 30 mountain gods and a symbol of death
Death, only early children or people near the end of the week can see
The Chinchilla Bus in the film is a tool to take away the soul of the person
The word “冢森” on the Chinchilla bus refers to the “grave”
When the two sisters play with the Totoro, the instrument played on the tree is 埙
埙 is one of the ancient Chinese musical instruments, the sound is mournful, such as the ghost crying
Therefore, in ancient times, it was mostly used for court sacrifices
Sister finally found her sister
But under the two, there is no shadow
Shadows represent the soul, and no shadow means death
In the shadow of the horror theory, looking back at the “My Neighbor Totoro”, some scenes have become horrified
The black elf, who had just moved into the wall full of walls, was intensively afraid of the patient
My sister met the Totoro for the first time, and there was a sense of sight that was swallowed
The Chinchilla bus’s bloody mouth and evil charm smile
The weak sister went to ask for the Totoro, and was held by the tortoise’s sharp claws
I don’t deny that a movie has multiple interpretations. If everyone sees the same thing in a movie, then the film is boring
For the commentary version of “My Neighbor Totoro”, Ghibli Studio has a rumor in the log.
There are no such settings in the Totoro that the Totoro is a god of death and that Mei has died. As for “the film has no shadow at the end,” it is just because we think it is unnecessary, so it is omitted
In Miyazaki’s own statement, Totoro is inspired by his favorite fairy tale, Acorn and Bobcat
The story tells of a boy who was looking for a bobcat and met a tree with acorns and a waterfall that would play the flute
The Bobcat is a variant of the Totoro, and the acorn has appeared many times in Totoro.The setting of
Chinchilla Bus is also from Japanese legend
When the cat is old enough, it will have the ability to deform and become a “deformed cat.”
The Chinchilla Bus is a “deformed cat” that becomes a bus shape
Other scenes are also the reproduction of Miyazaki’s childhood memories
For me, except for the Totoro, the cat bus, and the coal worm, most of the scenes that have appeared are I have seen. Those landscapes are definitely not from the book, but the real images that are stored in memory. From the house, the land, the water surface to the grass and the wood
There is a saying in the Buddhist scriptures. 诸法唯心造, all the ideals are present.
The general idea is that everything in the world is felt by people with their own feelings. What do you think in your heart, what you will see
Miyazaki has said that he is a pessimist
He believes that “human beings are hopeless”, but choose to show human goodness and beauty in the movie
Even in hate and killing, there are still things worth living for. A beautiful encounter, or for the existence of beautiful things. We portray hatred to describe something more important. We portray the curse in order to describe the joy after liberation
His animations are about the cruelty of war, the greed of humanity, the killing of survival
However, this is not to tell people the darkness of the people, but to comfort the souls that have been fighting in real life
It is precisely because of this, his animation is not limited by age, not only for children, but also for artificial dreams
Hayao Miyazaki creates a childhood dream that is different from real life and can trigger a good wish
In “My Neighbor Totoro”, beautiful and rustic scenery, friendly and kind villagers, running and playing in the countryside, this is the life that people in the fast-paced life yearn for
The sensible sister, the naughty sister, always sticks together, and often makes troubles, which is almost a memory of non-only children
Simple picture, beautiful image, full of happiness that transcends reality…·····.
The scene in which the oak fruit sprouted and grew up, who has never had such a naive and romantic imagination as a child?
The wind-like Totoro bus, did we have no fantasy when we were young?
The Totoro in the film is the patron saint accompanying the child
Under heavy rain, the two sisters came back at the station and waited for Dad to stay with them quietly
Daddy went to the hospital to visit her mother, her sister disappeared, and her sister anxiously sought help from the totoro, revealing her inner feelings
In the days of lack of mothers, the furry Totoro has become a harbor where the sisters can rely on at any time
The Totoro is not a living creature. It is the purity of the child’s heart and the host of all good images
It is a dream of childhood
To make this dream more real, Hayao Miyazaki’s old partner, Hisaishi, also tried to compose music with the ideas of the children
The light and lovely music style adds a fairytale warmth
Most people are in childhood, feel lonely and painful, and longing for warmth requires courage
The Totoro’s warm smile and companionship are healed than anything else in the world
Therefore, although “My Neighbor Totoro” has no plot, the shallow sorrow and faint warmth is the place where the center of the center can be poked
Because, we saw the shadow of our childhood, or that is, we used to be
