suddenly I saw-"My Neighbor Totoro" directed by Hayao Miyazaki has been released in China.
"My Neighbor Totoro" is a childhood dream. It seems to be forgotten slowly when I grow up. Suddenly seeing its furry and warm belly in the poster, I am awakened by all my dreams about beauty.
When Uncle Zhai first watched "My Neighbor Totoro", it dates back to nearly 30 years ago. In that era, people had 6 working days a week. Hunan Satellite TV had not yet been born, and there was no hip-hop and street dance in China. People are the most mainstream. The way of entertainment is to watch CCTV in front of the TV.
Therefore, the children in the 1980s, like Xiaomei Xiaoyue in "My Neighbor Totoro", were all grown up outdoors. When
is at home, every corner can develop endless fun. When going outside, there is no edge, one leg straddles the parents' permanent bicycle and walks the streets and lanes, and the speed makes the current SF brother willing to go downhill.
Therefore, when the audience at that time watched "My Neighbor Totoro" for the first time, they rushed towards each other. There was no such thing as the island country's chrysanthemum butterfly. Every picture was a breath of life, and people could easily relate to the characters in the movie. Complete emotional substitution.
Later, the times have progressed and life has become boring. After watching "My Neighbor Totoro" again more than ten years later, I suddenly felt that the world in the film was so innocent and interesting, but it was a thousand miles away from my current life.
recalled the situation when I first watched "My Neighbor Totoro" when I was a child, and my nose suddenly became sour...
Until today, "My Neighbor Totoro" was finally released in China. There was an old Lai who used to play big and small, and went to the United States after the company got bigger. He sent two circles of friends to talk about Hayao Miyazaki. The second one said:
of our generation, we need two people to enlighten. One is Jack Ma and the other is Hayao Miyazaki. The former teaches you to get rich and the latter teaches you to love with your heart.
With a monthly salary of 3500, I can only agree to half of it.

People born after 1980, basically everyone can tell a story about themselves and Hayao Miyazaki's movies. If these stories are told, they will become a trilogy that connects childhood, youth and adulthood in life.
Among them, "My Neighbor Totoro" and "Spirited Away" are destined to be the two most well-known and sought-after films.
Someone said: "Who is Hayao Miyazaki? I haven't seen his movie." I will get a response from others immediately:
really envy you, there are so many wonderful experiences waiting for you.
The first Hayao Miyazaki movie I watched was at a friend's house. The father of
, the neighbor of the carriage, used to squat at the busiest crossroads in Xidan all year round. He has long clothes and long sleeves all year round. Between his seemingly bloated body and wide clothes, there are countless CDs hidden. Big data shows that the most popular among customers is Hayao Miyazaki's "My Neighbor Totoro," except for Jack's derailed love that killed Ross and sunk the ship. When I was in the second grade of
, I received the baptism of "My Neighbor Totoro" on the 21-inch Konka color TV of the carriage house. What impressed
most was the understanding of sister Satsuki. I remember that she circled around the collapsing column, rolled upside down on the soft green cattails, crawled across a grid of tatami with her feet up, and the red petticoat that was blown by a gust of wind while helping her father pick up firewood was even more handsome. Short hair.
is like when Hayao Miyazaki saw Japan's first color animation "The Legend of the White Snake" in high school, he was deeply attracted by Bai Suzhen. Zhai's first dream girl was Kusabiyuki.
was only 8 years old at the time. I couldn’t understand the subject of parting and searching in the second half of the film, but I remember the beginning. When I first came to the new home like a haunted house, Xiaoyue told my timid sister Xiaomei:
we Laugh out loud together, all the terrible things ran away!
later discovered that the illusory sufferings imposed on oneself in life are actually not worth mentioning. In the face of optimistic laughter, there are no real problems in life.
, a childish line, gave how many people the courage to face loss and loneliness.

After attending middle school, I saw "JUMP" and "Weekly Boy". Under the lure of pirates who did not know the true face of copyright, such as Hainan Publishing House, I met Sakuragi Flower Road, Seven Dragon Balls, Xia Tanhan Yuliang, Beidou Shenquan, etc. Unbelievable cartoon characters. The dream of
is not found on NamekTo find Dragon Ball is to participate in a tournament in the dark underworld.
After the gunpowder cleared, I went through Hayao Miyazaki and "My Neighbor Totoro" again. Suddenly discovered that this animation is simply flawless to the ultimate simplicity.
has no distress to save the earth, no ambition to dominate the country, no science fiction to travel through the future, or even a villain who creates a crisis. What Miyazaki showed was just the unrestrained play of the two children in nature and the longing for the sick and hospitalized mother to return home soon.
Xiaomei and Xiaoyue have fun in their home in disrepair. Today's children only complain about the shabby houses. The older sister carried her sister on her back in the late night rain waiting for his father's bus to go home. Now the children don't care what time their parents leave work. After my sister was lost, my sister anxiously took off her shoes and went to find her barefoot. Now the child’s first reaction is to tell you "You can’t report the case if you have been missing for less than 24 hours."...
Dreams, in the face of this simple and simple life and true and touching emotions, were defeated and vanished. As soon as
opened his eyes, he woke up from his youth poured by fierce wine. It was only when he got older that he understood that there is no shortage of stories about fighting and fighting. The mountains are high and the rivers are long, and there are rivers and lakes everywhere. After the ending of Vanity Fair in the anime story, the wind is light, but the hearts of the people are always invisible.
In the end, only the innocent world of "My Neighbor Totoro" can accommodate the restlessness and melancholy that we had nowhere to put in our youth.
has now stepped into the society, and watching "My Neighbor Totoro" is even more emotional.
There is a scene in which the father of an intellectual but a very warm man takes two sisters to the back mountain to look for chinchillas. When the family faces a huge tree with a hundred years of roots in the ground, he seems to be talking to himself Say:
dad likes this home so much because of seeing this tree. At that time,
couldn't understand what his father meant when he saw Shu's love home. Many years later, but suddenly moved by this, only after seeing yourself, seeing the world and seeing all beings, can you know how to love a tree in the forest, a flower by the side of the road, all the things that bring you good life, And look at nature and life with awe and gratitude.
Only in this way, you will truly cherish life, cherish the family you love. These philosophies of
, Hayao Miyazaki has long told the world through "My Neighbor Totoro".
saw through a movie, understood a line, and suddenly seemed to be rewarded with double the value of life experience.
Many people grow up like this overnight.

Chinese textbooks for high school include Qian Zhongshu's "On Happiness". After reading it, almost all the dreams of the motherland's flowers for the future have been destroyed. The
article pointedly pointed out that happiness is the perception of contrast from unhappiness. Happiness in life is always short. A few minutes or days of happiness earns us a lifetime and endures a lot of pain.
After reading this article, Uncle Zhai felt that it was not worthwhile to see through the world. After that, he has been abandoning himself until now.
uses the same principle of life, but Hayao Miyazaki uses the opposite way to give people hope.
When his mother was suffering from tuberculosis, he could not accompany the young Hayao Miyazaki to grow up for a long time. He painted this loneliness in life in "My Neighbor Totoro", but let Xiaomei, Satsuki and My Neighbor Totoro without their parents. Meet.
They used dancing magic with Totoro in the middle of the night to let the oak seeds germinate into the sky, and then hold the belly of the Totoro and fly to the sky. This is the clip of Miyazaki Hayao using the most romantic fantasy and solitude. The resistance . The dream of
, like an oak seed, is planted in everyone's heart, and it has not faded after 30 years. And "My Neighbor Totoro" is the memory we can comfort each other in solitude.
30 years later, when Qin Lan, who participated in the dubbing of "My Neighbor Totoro", visited Hayao Miyazaki at the Japanese Studio Ghibli, Miyazaki himself frankly "due to the changes of the times, many plants and flowers in movies have disappeared, so it is difficult now. Then create a film that shows innocence like "My Neighbor Totoro"."
In 2018, Hayao Miyazaki's wife published a picture book about "My Neighbor Totoro", which explained in detail the flowers and trees in Saitama Prefecture, Japan in the filming. The album was printed twice in Japan within half a month.
Times have changed, and people's hearts have also changed.
No one now makes movies like Hayao Miyazaki, one by one, computerThe CG template can draw an animation in batches. The wheels of society are too fierce, people are following in fast pace, and everyone is suffering from a mature and sophisticated disease.
's ever-changing material upgrades have increased the cost of obtaining happiness. It is difficult for people to enjoy spiritual pleasure in the ordinary. Many people, like Uncle Zhai, become numb in their lives over and over again.
I want to meet that chinchilla on a rainy night, and use the seeds it handed over to multiply the sky tree, and get away from the unhappiness of reality.
It's a pity that now we may no longer see My Neighbor Totoro.

On July 20, 2013, Hayao Miyazaki's "last" work "The Wind Rises" premiered in Japan. In the previous month, Hayao Miyazaki announced his retirement for the seventh time.
No one really believes him.
Because everyone knows that all the life energy of Hayao Miyazaki is used to create animated movies.
But what no one knows is that he, who works at the desk all the year round, has become ill and sick all over his body.
Hayao Miyazaki became a late bloomer. He started to draw animation when he was young, and he didn't really become famous until the second year after the release of "My Neighbor Totoro". At that time, he had grown gray hair. Therefore, in people's impression, Hayao Miyazaki has always been a silver-haired and kind old man. Every time I see his photos, people always feel that the fairy tale is still there and the years are peaceful.
Actually, this smiling old man is 77 years old this year. People only saw his smiling face in front of the camera, but couldn't see his painful struggle at work.
Since 2016, Hayao Miyazaki will receive calls from time to time and will be told without warning that his peers who used to make anime together have suddenly left the world.
On April 5 this year, Hayao Miyazaki's lifelong close friend and "rival", the "Bo Le" who discovered his talent, and the famous animation director Takahata, who was also one of the three giants of Ghibli, died at the age of 88.
At the funeral commemorating Takahata Hoon, Hayao Miyazaki choked back and recalled:
Toshio Suzuki and I had a serious meeting with Takahata Hoon to persuade him to stop smoking because of his body. I thought I would argue about it, but he did not expect him. But very happily agreed. After that, I deliberately smoked in front of him, but he remained unmoved.
So I always say, "You will live longer than me, and you can live to 95" no problem. The animated characters on the
screen can always live in the sun brightly and beautifully. The creators outside the screen cannot always be as vigorous as the characters in the movie. They exhausted their life energy and gave the character eternal vitality.
Hayao Miyazaki’s movies have been with us for too long and have never left. Hayao Miyazaki himself has always been the white-haired smiling face in his mind, and he seems to be like his movies. He will not leave.
didn’t realize that most of the creators of the generation with Hayao Miyazaki had come to the end of their life journey until I looked back suddenly, and once represented the directors of the golden age of Japanese animation, only Hayao Miyazaki was alive alone.
is really a long live name, lonely behind.
Now, only 77-year-old Hayao Miyazaki still uses 10 hours a day to paint the warmest side of the world. Before he created the latest movie "What kind of life do you want to live", he had prepared for the worst-
greeted his wife, and if he wanted to make another movie, he said he had considered being half of himself. The possibility of death.
has been prepared for such thinking.
Uncle Zhai suddenly remembered a famous Internet saying " time is the killing knife ".
Perhaps, this new film will become the real "last film" of Hayao Miyazaki who is 80 years old by then.
Perhaps, "My Neighbor Totoro", which is now being released in theaters, will make the only and last chance for our generation of Chinese fans to have close contact with Hayao Miyazaki .
's longing for simple happiness, fantasy of the magical world, fascination with the world of love, and the perception of anti-war and environmental protection, the fantasy drifting history of a simple teenager's thoughts, are all found in the images of Hayao Miyazaki's wild horses. .
Now, I finally got an opportunity to relive "My Neighbor Totoro" in the theater. Not to return a movie ticket to Hayao Miyazaki, but to have a unique sense of ceremonyOn the big screen, I cherish my innocence and childishness. When
first watched "My Neighbor Totoro", I was shocked to not speak. Thirty years later, no longer innocent and pure, revisiting "My Neighbor Totoro", feeling a thousand words, still can't speak, have nothing to say.
In the end, I can only say one thing:
time flies, and finally as promised, thanks to "My Neighbor Totoro", the world is worth it.
