Miyazaki Goro
The family atmosphere from childhood to adulthood is such that children's interests and hobbies are beyond their control. Although the dragon begets the dragon and the phoenix begets the phoenix, genes are only one aspect of interest. Parents are athletes, and children are likely to be gifted. With a father like Hayao Miyazaki, Goro Miyazaki must have the gene for painting, which he was born with, but what about the gene for being an animated film director? He was indeed so interested in this profession that he gave up the work of park design. But interests and achievements are not the same. Just like the father is a chef, the son can of course enter the kitchen for a living when he grows up, open a shop and hire people to support the family, but is the child interested in the cooking industry and can be happy in it?
Miyazaki Goro has been fascinated by his eyes and ears since he was a child. The animation film director industry is broad and profound, and his father is Taishan Beidou. Hayao Miyazaki opened a small stove for his son at home. Over time, it is inevitable that the child will be interested. When he becomes an adult, he wants to do a knife once and become a second director, which is the only way to go, because of his interest. But I don't have the talent to be an animated film director, which is an achievement.
The first film directed by Goro Miyazaki, The Earth-Sea Battle, was a disaster-level performance. From the beginning to the end, I don't know what to say, the only gain may be the singer Aoi Teshima. He wants to express the essence of the novel, but the form is rigid and monotonous, which is an educational indoctrination for the audience, and it feels uncomfortable, not to mention that some pictures frighten the children.
He is under pressure, given by his career and given by his father. He was very depressed and wanted to show his own things. This is my Goro Miyazaki movie, why can't I express my own thoughts. Yaren in the Earth-Sea War has such a perfect father, and he has to be designed as a sad character who kills his father. It is conceivable that Xiaohai without his father, Miyazaki Goro believes that his heart is gray. It is a pity that the inspiration of young people is not master-level. If he really expresses his own things, Ghibli will face another failure.
He finally compromised. He turned, changed, gave up his own ideas and agreed with his father's ideas. But whether Miyazaki Goro finally compromised in his heart and believed that his father's ability was much higher than himself, it is unknown.
Miyazaki
Hayao Miyazaki loves Goro Miyazaki more than anything. He did not hesitate to offend Ms. Ursula for his son's maiden work, Battle of the Seas; for the sake of his son's self-respect, he went to the studio late at night to leave inspiring pictures, rather than face his son directly, causing a deeper conflict between father and son. The old man looks hard as a stone, but his heart is like water. As long as his son can achieve career achievements in his own interests, Miyazaki is willing to take responsibility for the world and use his lifelong wisdom to stimulate his son's creativity.
Matsuzaki Sea
Xiaohai is not the head of the family, but shoulders the responsibility of taking care of the family. In Ghibli's films, Japanese boys and girls show an astonishing sense of autonomy and responsibility. Like poppies, she listens carefully based on girl comics. Tsukishima Wen insists on delivering lunch boxes to her father who works far away. Her sister also goes home to do housework whenever she has time. Hearing the hero in the sound of the waves Du Qituo, the pocket money earned by working part-time makes him worry about spending. Compared with the other two protagonists, Xiaohai's responsibilities are heavier. She has to study and take care of her family and tenants. Her mother is far away in a foreign country, and her father died long ago in the Korean War. Grandma couldn't help worrying about whether Xiao Hai, who was just a middle school student, could always maintain this kind of endurance and sense of balance in her heart.
The heroine is a human being, not a god, not to mention that she is only a high school girl. She needs to rely on her heart, just like the signal flag raised every day, not only to pray for the safe navigation of ships, but also to hope that the signal flag raised by ships at sea echoes her. Hayao Miyazaki boldly adapted the original work, believing that such women with a sense of responsibility would have a good impression on men who act impulsive. Therefore, Jun Kazama's diving and speeches made Xiao Hai's heart beat. The script adapted by the old man even wrote the dialogue "You are the gift in place of Dad". Could it be that a girl like Matsuzaki Hai, who shoulders the responsibility of the whole family and lacks fatherly love, will not have more love for a mature and stable man? Although Kazuma Jun's buddy Shirou Mizunuma is far from stable, isn't he more suitable for the heroine than the impulsive Xiaojun?
Kazama Jun
Xiaojun's foster family was not wealthy. The adoptive father is a tugboat employee, and the adoptive mother is a housewife. The male protagonist has to go to school by boat and bike every day, which is as hard as the female protagonist. The family environment as a whole is very depressing, mainly from the father. It may be that his biological son died a decade ago and he was in financial constraints. The atmosphere under this roof was obviously not as relaxed as that on the Poppy Hillside, at least it looked. Children who grow up under this background, especially boys, are generally gloomy, bitter and grieving, and will never give up if they don't go to a prestigious school. However, Xiaojun is a self-confident type, he is not wrong with learning clubs, he likes to show off, and he is a well-known figure in the school. Even so, this person has a rational side, knows the family's economic factors, learns to give up, does not put pressure on parents, and knows how to take responsibility.
Mizunuma Shiro
Shiro Mizunuma is a natural leader, a high-achieving student, the Minister of Information, and the President of the Student Council. In the comics, his relatives are also mostly successful people, which shows that the genes of the Mizunuma family are superhuman.
Mizuho is mature and even greasy, and behaves well beyond his age. For example, in the news department of the Latin Building, Matsuzaki Hana and her elder sister came to ask for Kazama Jun's autograph. Upon seeing this, the minister immediately took Xiaohua away with a few words, and his arm was naturally placed on the shoulder of the junior girl. This match is definitely not meant to seduce or even seduce the little girl, but to let the person asking for the autograph not meet the demand, but also get something, it is worthwhile.
Talking with the chairman, the planned itinerary was all designed by Mizunuma, and he planned it with Xiaohai. This trick succeeded in one fell swoop, won the chairman, and kept the Latin Building. Mizunuma Shiro observes people's hearts with precision and emotional intelligence, which is unfathomable. There are many scenes in the film that are not repeated one by one.
Latin House
The Latin House is the core element of Miyazaki's adaptation of the original. This is a magical building. Since the establishment of Konan Academy, all interest groups have been active in this building. In fact, after watching the video carefully, you can see that the opinion that the old building should be demolished and building a new building is the majority among the students. The background of the story is that on the eve of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, the left-wing movement of Western students is still in the making. At that time, young people all over the world, including middle school students, were very restless, whether it was left or right, new or old, and where was their country heading? Then, when there is choice, ideas are born, and when there is debate, passion is born. No matter which path was chosen in the end, it was an era that seemed to be very energetic, and everyone lived with a purpose.
Hayao Miyazaki expressed his point of view through the mouth of Xiaojun, "What is the difference between dismantling old things and abandoning memories. You only focus on pursuing new things, but you don't care about history at all, how can there be a future!"
dark blue waves
The Japanese, an island nation, has a deep fascination with the sea and ships. The school song "Dark Blue Waves" was sung by Aoi Tetsuya. The lyrics are simple and unpretentious, indifferent to the world, there is strength in peace, and hope is hidden in adversity.
The sea is the land, and the boat is like family. Family voyages, life and death are uncertain, in order to ensure safety, raising the signal flag, a kind of prayer, but also a kind of sustenance.
"Even if one day a huge wave hits, please don't sink below the horizon." The lyrics written by the father and son together may be the most harmonious and beautiful notes in the film in the voice of Tetsuo Aoi.
