do you remember? That impassioned youth

In "The God of Sushi" before, food critics said that people's evaluation of the eldest son Zhenichi is unfair, and everyone only recognizes Erlang. Even though Zhenichi's cooking skills are comparable to his father's, people still consider him to be under Erlang. Zhenichi has to do better than Erlang, a lot better, to be seen, which is difficult.
Nowadays, Jun Miyazaki's son, Goro Miyazaki, is in charge of "Yu Meiren". His son is the director and his father is the screenwriter. People are inevitably comparing the two. In fact, it is not necessary. It is better to be different than to be superior.
Most of Miyazaki Jun's films are about environmental protection, talking about the relationship between man and nature, and his emotions are implicit, restrained, and unexpressed. The relationship between Qianxun and Xiaobai in "Spirited Away" is a metaphor that runs through the play. In "Hall's Moving Castle", Hall's frivolity when he appeared, made me and the little witch scream excitedly at the same time, "Wow, is it an idol drama?
"Yu Meiren" actually began to talk about youth, saying that high school students were brave and impassioned in order to protect the community after World War II. There is also Mei Lu's confession to Kazama under the bus: "I like Kazama classmates, even if they are related by blood, even if they are brothers and sisters, I will always like you." This kind of bridge, in the past Miyazaki Jun It seems that it has never appeared in the novel. It seems that the cooperation between father and son has collided and influenced each other in terms of the theme and the performance of the characters' personalities, creating new sparks.
Speaking of youth, this Tokumaru chairman is simply the savior of education. Several astronomical clubs that have been observing sunspots for ten years without any results, and philosophy clubs advocating barrel philosophers, when they heard a classmate report that Mei Lu and Feng Jian had left with a major life-related event, the chairman laughed happily, "Are you truancy? Youth? what". People, they just like to put all the rules into a frame to abide by, but they are less tolerant of that point.
Three students went to Tokyo to plead for the people. Reminds me of my second year of high school. The first time I formally dealt with the bandits was because the female teacher everyone liked was dismissed from the school because her class was too free and casual. One day between classes, RK called me out of the classroom, and a group of boys had been waiting in the corridor for a long time, quietly. The class elders Meng and RK, as representatives, formally asked me to draft a petition, intending to jointly sign the whole class and request the school to keep this teacher. I said yes. I have no reason not to agree. So I used A3 white paper and a pen to write down the content neatly, and the whole class voluntarily signed. It will be sent to the principal by Lao Meng and RK.
Unfortunately, the teacher was still fired, and the school didn't give us any answer.
Every time I recall the scene of that day, the serious and serious expressions on the faces of the boys, and the sincerity when they asked me, I still feel moved in my heart. This is the reason why I like them. But every time they talk about it, they always complain that I'm too gentle, and they don't dare to approach me in the first year of high school, especially Zhang Bin and RK most often say, "I never dared to talk to you before, and only after I get to know you. I found out how the fuck you are so virtuous..." Hahaha.
The protagonists of Miyazaki's films are always women, who look delicate and weak, but are actually firm, brave, hard-working, and fearless girls. I don't think this is a preference for women, but to use women as representatives to represent the precious qualities that human beings have in their hearts, both men and women. For example, SARS and the Wenchuan earthquake have allowed us to see the most beautiful and warm side of human nature. We should believe and persevere.
Everyone has the right to try, even if the attempt is not good enough, not perfect, we should try to break the stereotype. I like "The Hillside Poppy Blooming", I like Meilu, I like Kazama, I like Chairman Tokumaru, and I am looking forward to the next movie of Miyazaki Goro and Ghibli.
