a little afterthought

Revisiting the city in the sky, I was too young to remember anything when I first watched it, and I liked it again when I watched it again: the last gardener robot guarding the eggs in the castle, picking flowers and placing them neatly on the tombstone, giving them away Flowers are given to the heroine, grass and flowers grow on her shoulders, and birds fly around and land on the huge shoulders. Seeing this picture, I suddenly thought of Hayao Miyazaki saying: The movie shows the beauty of the world, the beauty that has not been noticed, that is what I want to see. In the documentary "No Myth Hayao Miyazaki", a group of people showed Hayao Miyazaki a short film drawn by artificial intelligence. In the picture, a group of monsters with missing heads, hands and limbs, twisted and deformed, moved quickly with their heads and green monsters. They claimed their purpose. It is a machine that makes paintings like people. In this regard, Hayao Miyazaki used "feeling that the world has perished and human beings have lost their self-confidence" to describe his feelings. He said that a disabled friend who visits every morning, the other party has difficulty even high-fives, "He used Stiff palm touching mine, I think about him, can't say I like this, the person who made this didn't think about pain, it's very unpleasant. You can make horrible things if you want, but It's useless to me, it's a blasphemy against life." "Desecrate life", which is probably why I feel a strong sense of watching a group of disgusting oddballs crawling out of the screen with their twisted bodies indifferently struggling. of discomfort. Taking this point of view to review Hayao Miyazaki's films, I can really feel that the stories and pictures are full of innocent, childish, unadorned little beauty, like being caught in a cat and dog walking down the river to fish for shrimp and rice. The ordinary childhood time of the fruit rolling grass, every picture brings the refreshing breeze under the shade of the trees in the midsummer afternoon, comfortable~

    Pazu: Ahh! What's going on?

    [he is thrown into his house; cut to Pazu struggling as Henri ties him up]

    Henri: Stop wriggling, ya little worm!

    Dola: [seated at the dinner table, noisily munching on a steak] Welcome home, sonny!

    Pazu: [as Henri pulls a bound Pazu to the wall] Get out! Get out, or I'll throw you out! This is MY house!

    Dola: [disdainfully] Oh, ya can't scare me! You can't even protect one small girl!

    Pazu: Whaddaya mean?

    Henri: [taking out the gold coins Muska gave Pazu] Hey, Mom! Can I keep this money?

    Dola: Up and sold a little girl, did ya? I know your type!

    Pazu: [protesting] You don't know what you're talking about!

    Dola: They offered ya money, and ya took it, didn't you?

    Pazu: I only left because Sheeta told me to!

    [sighing]

    Pazu: That's why.

    Dola: [spits in disgust] So ya believed her and ya came back here, right? You're just a SCARED LITTLE BOY WHO RUNS AWAY!

    Dola: Now, so when you boys get married, you go find a gal like her!

    Louis: [dumbfounded] Huh? She's gonna end up... like Mama?

    Charles: Good question.

  • Sheeta: [after falling on Pazu from roof] Oh, I'm sorry. Are you all right? Does it hurt much?

    Pazu: Hey, if my head was any harder, you could use it as a cannonball.
