Therefore, this article will use Hayao Miyazaki’s work as the most adult animated film "Porco Rosso" as an example to study the profound themes of war and peace, nature and survival that are customary in Miyazaki’s works. , To see the era penetration of national tradition from the audiovisual language of Hayao Miyazaki's animation films; understand how Hayao Miyazaki, as an animation master, interprets the reflection of real life with unique animation images through the reference to symbols in animation works, The understanding of world culture and the exploration of life in the universe.
Chapter 1 Hayao Miyazaki and "Porco Rosso"
Japan is known as the "Animation Kingdom" and is the world's largest animation production and export country. At present, more than 60% of the animation works broadcast worldwide are from Japan. [[1]] With his unique film and television creative style, Hayao Miyazaki has become a leader in the Japanese animation industry. He has produced many well-known film and television masterpieces, which are deeply loved by the audience. For the audienceIn other words, Hayao Miyazaki entered the attention of most people with the comic "Nausicaa" serialized on "Animage", and what really made Miyazaki's reputation was the release of the animated film "Kiki's Delivery Service". At this point, Hayao Miyazaki has begun his journey of creating a "fairy tale kingdom" animation works.
The first section Hayao Miyazaki
A great animation director, or a great artist, is a person who creates his own world. He digs deep into his heart, finds his own unique way of seeing the world, and then perseveres in creating, until he builds another world parallel to this real world. [[2]] From the original "Kiki's Delivery Service" to "Spirited Away" to "Howl's Moving Castle", in many popular film and television works, although they have completely different creative themes and storylines, they Throughout the unique Miyazaki-style creative style and distinctive humanitarian spirit, these creative ideas are closely related to Miyazaki's teenage life and growth experience. During the production of "Space City", due to Hayao Miyazaki's extreme seriousness in his work, many animation studios did not dare to cooperate easily with it. The hindrance of this work made Miyazaki aware of the establishment of his own studio. The necessity. Together with his business friend Yasushi Tokama, an exclusive studio-Studio Ghibli was born.
Studio Ghibli provides them with an excellent stage, so that they are not limited by the work environment, and at the same time opens a new chapter in the creation of animation master Hayao Miyazaki. The success of "My Neighbor Totoro" and "Tomb of Fireflies" has made Studio Ghibli become synonymous with Hayao Miyazaki's animation, and also synonymous with Japanese animation in the eyes of the world. [[3]] And Hayao Miyazaki has become synonymous with Japanese animation, and the start of each of his films will attract great attention, just like Zhang Yimou and China, Spielberg and the United States. [[4]] His animation movie box office is beyond the reach of either Japanese live-action movies or Hollywood commercials. Hayao Miyazaki created the myth of Japanese animation movies, raised animation works to the height of humanity, and truly pushed Japanese animation to the world, winning worldwide recognition. Disney called it the "Kurosawa Akira of animation industry". Hayao Miyazaki is a legend in the Japanese animation industry, and he is also the spiritual pillar of the three generations of Japanese animators. [[5]]
Section 2 "Porco Rosso" summary
In Miyazaki Hayao’s fairy tale kingdom, few works can overlap with the real world so highly, and its worldview is also established. In fact. The background of the story takes place in Italy during World War II. The protagonist Poluck Rosso is an Italian air force hero who galloped over the Adriatic Sea during World War I. After witnessing the deaths of his best friends and other comrades in arms, he decided to escape the shackles of the world. , Cast a magic on himself to turn his face into a pig, and become a maverick "pig" in the crowd.
It can be said that the world in "Porco Rosso" is the ideal country that Miyazaki’s incarnation protagonist Poluk Rosso aspires to. Under the influence of the war, the world has been changed, and only Poluk stands by. I am ideal, so I cast a spell on myself and become a "pig", and I insist on distinguishing myself from the world.
The second chapter looks at the formation of Hayao Miyazaki’s "author-director" style from his work "Porco Rosso"
"Author-director" refers to a creative proposition that appeared in the Western film industry after the Second World War. A director’s creative style. [[6]] Hayao Miyazaki, who experienced the war firsthand, reproduced the ruins and scenes of war in his memory in the cartoons "Nausicaa", "Princess Mononoke", and "Castle in the Sky". Miyazaki portrays his vision of the flying world in his works such as "Porco Rosso" and "The Wind Rises". Expressing oneself through animation works and integrating life experience into creation is the unique creative personality of Hayao Miyazaki as an animation master.
The identity under the role mapping of "Porco Rosso" in the first section overlaps.
With the construction of Studio Ghibli's "Fairytale Kingdom", Hayao Miyazaki's vision has changed from freedom and growth to environmental protection and peace. At the peak of his creation, Hayao Miyazaki chose to create a romantic magical work like "Porco Rosso" (1992), and presented his true life experience as the protagonist "Porco Poruk". This is A very special one in the Hayao Miyazaki animation series. It is the only adult-themed work shot entirely from the perspective of an adult. It is the most autobiographical.A work is also the most "author and director" style.
mentioned in Hayao Miyazaki's "The Return of the Wind: The Trail from Nausicaa to Chihiro"-"When I decided to call this work "Porco", I expected it The meaning of this word, why should I use "When the Cherry Rises" as an interlude in the movie? Some people may say that it represents utopian socialism. In my opinion, the "Paris Commune" can reflect "the purest ideal"". This is closely related to the aircraft factory, a military enterprise run by his family. In order to survive the war, the war wealth that the family depends on made Hayao Miyazaki feel susceptible to this, which triggered his suspicion of life. Thinking of war. It is also because of the influence of aircraft manufacturers since childhood that Hayao Miyazaki is full of longing for flying and the sky. When the Porco Rosso soars in the sky under the brush, it is also Miyazaki's satisfaction with his flying dream. This is also revealed in the later work "The Wind Is Up".
The theme of fusion with reality in the second section of the work
"Porco Rosso" is the film with the most anti-war sentiment in Hayao Miyazaki's works. Above the blue sky and under the ruins, it expresses Hayao Miyazaki in this differentiated contrast. A firm belief in world peace. Although it is a full-length animation, the original "Airship Age" is only 15 pages of content. In Miyazaki's original plan, Porco Rosso wanted to be an animated short film because it can be expressed. The content is really limited, so when the first draft was made, it was voted for Japanese airlines, in order to be able to broadcast about 30 minutes of animated short films on the flight, just in the studio Ghibli staff for the aerial combat footage When worrying about whether the civil aviation company can pass, the socialist country Yugoslavia was in a civil war and fell apart. The story of the original work took place in Yugoslavia. This change caused a huge blow to Hayao Miyazaki. This war is considered to be In Europe’s most tragic war since World War II, the nations are opposed to each other and the casualties are also very heavy. After seeing the news reports, Miyazaki was shocked and changed his original thoughts on the first draft, intending to use more serious and richer Content to express their views on war. This is also the theme that Hayao Miyazaki has always wanted to express in his animation creation, which is "anti-war".
Chapter 3 Visual Semiotics The Metaphorical Philosophy of "Porco Rosso"
In Miyazaki's mind, there are two peach blossoms: one is the ancient forest, and the other is the utopia of "work first". These beliefs are also presented differently in his works. "Nausicaa" is the first work of Hayao Miyazaki to explore the reconciliation of man and nature. The subsequent "My Neighbor Totoro," "Princess Mononoke," and "Castle in the Sky" all reflect Miyazaki's attitude towards nature and environmental protection. Persevere, in "Porco Rosso", "The Great Adventure of the Sun Prince Halls" and other works, the psychological picture of socialist utopia is further discussed. This is the inner world that Miyazaki has constructed as an "author and director". The references to symbols in Miyazaki's works interpret the reflection of real life, the understanding of world culture, and the exploration of life in the universe with unique animated images.
The image of the first section of the visual symbol refers to the external form of the
visual symbol is composed of visual elements such as lines, light, color, material, etc. It has strong expressive characteristics, which can surpass the limitation of the meaning of text information and make the audience follow I interpret the meaning of information through my own visual experience, directly reflect the real world through perceptual experience, and play the role of visual imagination through visual imagery to achieve metaphorical reference. [[7]] Metaphor is a basic narrative method of film color art. It uses concrete and tangible objects to express abstract and intangible philosophy, making its meaning greater than the symbol itself. Hayao Miyazaki uses the metaphorical features of color to create images for the movie, depicting many classic characters with pure colors, and expressing rich psychological feelings with abstract elements. [[8]] The protagonist of the
movie "Porco Rosso" is a red pig living in the crowd---Poluk Rosso, and Poluk Rosso is translated as "red" in Italian The pig". This pun coincidence is used in the movie just right. "Red" is the name given to socialists, which coincides with the proletarianism that Hayao Miyazaki insisted in his early days. From then on, I can see the autobiographical elements of Hayao Miyazaki in the movie "Porco Rosso". Turn your own life experience and unique understanding of the world into a brush, depicting the vision of the ideal country in your heart. The red plane in "Porco Rosso"It is also an image designation. Red is a symbol of passion, anger and danger. Poluk’s red airplane represents his passion for life, his dislike and dislike of war, and a red airplane passing in the blue sky and flying over the village. The red here is a kind of for the villagers. The warning of danger conveys the coming of war.
The impact of color on people's vision is the most direct and rapid. Color, as the first visual language, plays a role in design that cannot be replaced by words and graphics. In his animation creation, Hayao Miyazaki is good at using color to express the symbolism of the spirit of the picture and the rhetorical function of language. These functions are completed through a special visual language ideographic system. In the context of no clear plot narrative, simple The symbol of color transcends the external image of the color itself, giving it a deeper connotation and extending the meaning of the creation itself.
Section 2 The image of the character symbol refers to
In Hayao Miyazaki's "Fairy Tale Kingdom", the impressive character design is a major feature of his unconstrained animation works. From the psychic girl Kiki in "Witch's Delivery Service" to the heroic Ashan in "Princess Mononoke", the weird and curious grandma and the faceless man in "Spirited Away" to the healing Totoro in "My Neighbor Totoro" As well as the pig-shaped person Poluk in "Porco Rosso", they fully reflect Hayao Miyazaki's unconstrained imagination for character creation. Behind these symbolic characters also refer to unique animation images.
The pig that lives in human society in "Red Pig" has a unique meaning in it. Miyazaki believes that only the image of a pig can express Paul's stubborn character: "If I want to become a fascist, I would rather become a pig". Therefore, behind the appearance, Hayao Miyazaki used "pig" as a symbol to refer to the character of the character when he created the character, making the work show a unique and unconventional style. The image of a "pig" is stupid in the eyes of the world. It refers to people who don't know how to adapt to the times, and people who insist on flying even if they know that the government has cancelled the legality of their own aircraft. It also reflects the image of a pure idealist in the eyes of the world, maverick and helpless.
In Miyazaki Hayao’s works, in addition to visual symbols and character symbols, there are many classic symbols that can be analyzed. For example, the characters in "Nausicaa" wear protective masks that cover the entire face, which greatly affects the audience's Sensory experience. Behind the symbol of the protective mask means nature’s rejection, isolation, and revenge against humans. Because of humans’ wanton destruction of the environment, they lose the right to breathe freely. The symbol of "name" in "Spirited Away" is also very meaningful. In the film, Tang Po Po can take away people's names and control them. The name symbolizes the self, and losing the memory of the name means losing the self. The character Bailong in the film is controlled by Granny Tang, forgets his name and loses himself. The workers in Tangchi were all those who had forgotten their names for money and lost themselves. Only Qianxun maintained the original innocence and firm belief in not losing themselves, and saved the parents who became pigs because of gluttony.
Conclusion
As the first animation master to raise film and television works to the height of humanities, Hayao Miyazaki integrated the reflective elements of dreams, environmental protection, life, survival, pacifism, and feminism into the film. [[9]] Through the reference to symbols in the animation works, it interprets the thinking about real life with unique animation images. The opportunity to complete this thesis by investigating relevant materials allowed me to understand the life story behind a well-known animation master and the deep philosophies and metaphors expressed in his creation. This is a "fairy tale world" parallel to reality constructed by Hayao Miyazaki as an "author and director". As a leader in the animation industry, Hayao Miyazaki also just as he said, "I hope to use more in-depth works again to save the fallen soul of mankind." Although he announced his retirement from the public, he is a master character. , Can still assist in creation as a behind-the-scenes worker, influence the world through animation works, and give deep meaning to animation.
