Ghosts-Gentle and Summer Complex in Japan

I have always felt that the core of Japanese ghost culture is to remove awe, respect for life, and gentleness to the world. In the play, his father was killed in a nautical accident, and the same bad luck has happened to many families who died in natural disasters in Japan. The frequent occurrence of natural disasters has allowed this nation to join in the suffering and be accompanied by thoughts. The issue of life and death that cannot be touched by rational thinking has been the domain of religion and philosophy since ancient times. Gods and ghosts are nothing more than a bridge between the world and heaven. "Father will always look at you in the sky. If you miss it, just write a letter." The gap between life and death is broken, and emotions are conveyed in the connection of letter paper and faith, which is an important cause and meaning of ghost culture. At the festival, people push straw boats carrying Kongming lanterns into the sea to convey their thoughts to their loved ones who have passed away. The three water droplets transformed by the three monsters seem to reappear in the waves at the edge of the lens. The ultimate destination of the gods and ghosts is nature. From the perspective of materialism, human beings are material and will eventually return to nature in the form of atoms through various cycles. Ghosts are somewhere between materialism and idealism. It supports the existence of the soul to a certain extent, and insists on the materialist view to connect man and nature. No, it is animism. . . In the play, Yangtai and Taozi’s delicate emotional interaction was moved! She was introverted and withdrawn, and she couldn't integrate into country life when her father had just passed away. Yangtai took the initiative to talk to her and asked her sister to talk to her, saying that she could go diving together when the boys were not there. It's really delicate and kind. It is only now that I understand why children’s friendships are much more sincere. I think it’s impossible for me to have such friends in my entire life. Over the past few years, I have experienced more and more, and I really understand Taozi's regret. The last typhoon of the summer passed quietly, and the childhood in my memory also stagnated in that summer with the disappearance of ghosts. The stalled old clocks began to turn, and the family life that came out of grief had just begun.

    The biggest highlight of the film is the dubbing of Uncle Nishida, you can hear it as soon as you speak! In addition, I deeply feel that the persona of that monster is based on Uncle Nishida~

    I like these kinds of movies, summer battles, unexpected lucky draws, and fairy tales of the years, which are plain and plain, and don't say much, and then you are moved. The ending credits of each movie are great. @白小白 asked to summon Pikachu,
