Baidu Encyclopedia said: "Millennium Actress" is a blockbuster animation work by the famous Japanese animation master Jin Min. This film has won many awards in the world, and together with animation master Hayao Miyazaki's "Spirited Away" was selected as the best animation of the year by the Multimedia Art Festival of the Japan Cultural Agency. director. "Millennium Actress" is not only highly praised in Japan, but also won the Best Animation Award, the Best Breakthrough Director Award and the Best Asian Film Award at fantasy film festivals in Canada and Spain. In addition to the brilliant record of winning awards, it is also the only animation work invited to this year's Taipei Film Festival, and the audience's overwhelming response is unimaginable.
Compared with emotion, time never stops, cruel and quiet continuous operation, while emotion is fleeting, burning madly and enthusiastically. But the only thing they have in common with humans is that they are immortal, whether humans exist or not.
And Chiyoko, her whole life is almost for that sudden encounter, no matter inside or outside the play, the play is like life or life is like a play, her life, love, and performance are all to chase after that life that has already crossed. phantom. Chiyoko is lonely, and has never been able to stay with the person she loves. But for Chiyoko, she definitely doesn't feel lonely, because even if there is only one moment of meeting in this life, it is enough.
Time is constantly changing. In "Chiyo Actress", the identity of an actor allows Chiyoko to transcend the barriers of time and space just like her own feelings. In the seven films she starred in, from Tokyo, Japan to Northeast China, from the Warring States military chaos to the Showa air raid, the flow of time and the transformation of space further set off her emotional invariance.
I have to sigh the author's ingenious idea. From the planning and production of this film to the completion of the launch, it happened to be when the real world overlapped in the Middle Ages. The millennium in "Millennium Actress" is not only a single-fingered plot, running for love inside and outside the play. With Chiyoko's so-called millennium life, there is also the recollection of the past and the expectations of the future. Speaking of the word "run for love" I can't help but think of the Lola Run that I watched not long ago. Once very spoofed, I told others that this film might be called Chiyoko Run.
Time and feelings are both illusory and real, and it is this duality of illusory and real that constitutes the world of "Millennium Actress". In Chiyoko's life of chasing love, in this 87-minute film, many times you can't tell which is real and which is illusory. Only then did I realize how short life is and how important the meaning of life is to everyone.
When the film ended, when the ending song "Rotation" sounded, there was no trace of sadness or sadness, only joy and emotion. Because the last line of the movie just named everything: "Anyway, what I really love is to chase his journey." The
result is no longer important, the important thing is that you already know what you want.
Blue silk white hair / Red lotus blooming / The golden moon / Rising on thousands of dewdrops /
Only breaking the impending night cage / Can you bloom in your dreams / Launching a thousand-year pursuit
and sailing through parallel fleets / As if ever changing The cloud of measurement / It's all about following your trail.
In the Miyazaki era, seeing a film with a completely different style and theme is really a treasure. Jin Min's main works such as "(Perfect blue", "Tokyo Godfather", "Red Hot Chili Pepper", etc. have become movies I hope to see.
"Perfect blue" and "Tokyo Godfather" have never been able to find good seeds to do well After the download, "Red Hot Chili Pepper" made me fall into the strange world created by Jin Min again. If the last "Millennium Actress" was more about emotion and time as the main line, interspersed with a love story. This time, "Red Hot Chili Pepper" is really a completely bizarre world.
"Red Chili Pepper" is a great adult animation. A mixture of dreams and reality. Can we really recognize ourselves? That It's me and it's not me. Light and shadow, first and last, are only fleeting events. A line is separated, life and death.
Many people have told me that "Red Pepper" and "Ghost in the Shell" are somewhat similar.
Maybe, but I've watched too few movies seriously. The picky on the name directly determines the result of this film. For example, "Ghost in the Shell", which looks like a sci-fi comic, is really not acceptable to me. Therefore, the so-called similarity between the two films will not be evaluated.
The story begins with the dream of the detective Fan Chuan. In fact, Fan Chuan's dream has been interspersed from the beginning to the end. Perhaps his self-redemption is one of the main lines.
Starting from looking for criminals in the circus, to being forced into a cage, a group of people exactly like him rushed down from the audience, and fell into another stage under their feet, and a woman in animal skin hugged him like Tarzan in the jungle After whizzing past, the train was driven to a desperate situation. The appearance of the red-haired woman saved him, and it suddenly became the filming scene of the movie. Then, he entered the repeated scene again. When chasing the suspect, he was in the hotel room. The victim was shot and fell in the hallway, and the suspect fled.
Xiao Chili analyzed Fanchuan's dream from a few words. The origin of Fanchuan's anxiety and neurosis was exposed at the back of the film, his childhood friend, and his dream. He chose to give up and became a police officer. So this psychological shadow was buried in Fan Chuan's heart.
Speaking of Chiba, although she should be Chiba's avatar, I have been thinking about whether Chiba has schizophrenia, or that Chiba is actually a symbol of Chiba's schizophrenia. On the one hand she is a calm and a little cold Dr. Chiba, and at other times she is a sexy and distinctive little pepper. On the eve of the final battle of the film, the dialogue between Chiba and Chili Pepper is a self-monologue of Chiba.
---How will you be here? ---In extraordinary times, extraordinary means should be used.
---Little Pepper, don't surpass yourself! ---Don't think you're always right.
---Let's go! Chiba. ---I want to help Tokita!
---Leave that irresponsible fat man! ---Why don't you listen to me? you are part of me.
---Have you ever thought that maybe, you are part of me? ---Do as I say!
---To think that you can control yourself and others, just like some old bald guy I know.
---Come on, we're going to stop the old bald, and his experiments. Now.
---Do not! I can't leave Tokita because... ---Because of what?
---She is being sincere to herself now.
When the picture shows Shitian's robot avatar in the dream world getting stuck in the building, just like when the movie starts, he is stuck in the elevator. The constant switching of these two pictures, the flashback is almost the most exciting part of the whole film for me. This can almost be said to show Tokita's dilemma in his own research world, he completely indulged himself in the research of DC MINI, he said, I am in a dilemma.
When Chiba said: You are fat, slow, sloppy... Appearance is not important, but there must be a limit, but who would have thought that you are a rare genius in the world... I know, you are very interesting. When she abandoned all concerns, she only held the fat man lovingly. So it turns out that the unhappiness of so many people is just because they conform to reality and cannot be sincere to themselves.
In the film, Jin Min reflects the spiritual status, great mental pressure and social problems of the Japanese with a large number of pictures. In addition to the appearance of various delusional patients in the film, the climax also shows a lot of Japanese social diseases in a colorful way: office workers standing in a row jumped from the roof in a classic scene in "Furong from Water", their faces She still maintains a professional smile; the head of a high school girl in a school uniform and skirt turns into a huge mobile phone, the boys with the same mobile phone knelt down under their skirts, the camera of the mobile phone is aimed at the girl's legs and the shutter bangs wildly... Simple Said: The limit of repression is destruction, and the limit of indulgence is also destruction... Like those people in the film, after walking to the top of a tall building, delusionally thinking that he can fly, rushing out of the edge of the house, and throwing into the blue sky, after the momentary sense of detachment, there is no doubt that Facing a heavy death.
I have to say, the music in this movie is fantastic, perfect. It's so emotional to watch this movie! To be able to watch this movie seriously, the role of music in it is really too great. In fact, I have said the same thing before, and it is fine to say it again. What Hirazawa Jin did to Toshiyuki is what Hisaishi did to Hayao Miyazaki.
In fact, there are many things in the middle, we can not pay too much attention to them. Just be true to your heart. Red pepper is the girl of dreams, and one day I will meet again in my dreams.
