like a metaphor of life

Watching "My Neighbor Totoro" again, it's not like I watched it when I was a child, and I frequently showed the Japanese-style exaggerated expression. When it dripped onto the nose, it still showed a soft look.

There is a very small point that shakes my heart, that is, the dust spirit like the small briquettes in Spirited Away, which adults cannot see; The eyes of the dust elf can only see dust. like a metaphor of life,

Growing up is a process of seeing the world slowly change from two-dimensional to three-dimensional. When I was a child, the dust I saw was a dust sprite, the willow tree I saw was the long hair of the spring girl, and the stars I saw all wore small hats; growing up The dust you see is the dust that needs to wear a mask, the willow tree is the willow tree that needs to wear a mask, and the stars are just stars if they can be seen. They have all gone from abstract to concrete.

Even so, I still liked the part where Xiaoyue Xiaomei and Dad laughed in the bathtub. Dad said that laughing can scare away bad things! I like it very much, I hope it is also a metaphor for life.

    Miyazaki is really a genius with a soft heart. Can give this cruel world so much warmth. My Neighbor Totoro is really like a childhood dream. It seems to have forgotten when he grows up. When he sees its fluffy body, he thinks of all his extravagant hopes. This is probably what we can comfort each other in loneliness. In any case, maturity is a disease, and the only thing that can cure it is probably the warmest yearning for this world.
