It's a story about growing up.

The protagonist's family breaks into a fantasy world, after her parents turn into pigs, Chihiro is alone in the face of danger and despair, in the adventure of this fantasy town, she learns to be strong, brave, persistent, and in the face of intricate problems and dangerous situations, she learns to work hard to overcome and make herself independent and mature.

It's a fairy tale, it's educational, and it's perfect for kids, isn't it?

Yes, children are all surprised and fascinated by this bizarre fantasy world, where there are magical, bizarre and funny characters, such as small briquettes that can walk, witches who can fly like owls, or maybe the word "adventure" alone is enough for them to be excited and loved.

But it doesn't stop there, "animation is for children", "the audience is very small" and other remarks are crushed to the scum in this animated movie, in fact, you say that it is more suitable for adults to be right, because you don't have a certain experience, you really can't understand the truth contained in the film and philosophy.

Animation is always indispensable, it must be educational, and movies are always indispensable for satirical and criticism of reality, otherwise it is not profound, and all of them are not left behind in this animated movie, and its operation is simply "heartbreaking"!

The plot of the movie is shallow and deep, it looks like Chihiro's parents become pigs, and Chihiro wants to save them's simple story, but it wants to express much more than that, the director has integrated his in-depth thinking about the real society into it, with a very strong realistic color, or it is simply a reality film dressed in the coat of "fairy tale and magic", worthy of the name "adult fairy tale".

For example, this bizarre town, which is like a dream, seems to be whimsical and boundless, but it is actually a portrayal of reality, and has unshakable operating rules like our real society.

Here, you have to eat the food here, or you'll evaporate, but you can't overeat without moderation, or you'll become a pig.

Here, you have to find a job to prove your existence, and those who seek comfort will become animals and be banished forever.

Here, money is still the supreme existence that everyone wants, and for money, the gods can also fight for their heads and lose their dignity.

At the same time, every character in the movie, whether it is the core protagonist or the supporting role, has an extremely strong realistic symbolic meaning.

Beginning with Chihiro's adventures, the subsequent appearances of Grandpa Boiler, the briquette worker, Granny Tang, Granny Qian, the polluted river god, and the faceless man all allude to certain things that have become too extreme with the development of society, such as power, money, profit, and so on.

This is the animated film "Heartbreak" It blends and interweaves the ugliness and truth and goodness of human nature, so that each strangely shaped character seems so real, and finally presents in front of you a most realistic social ecological map, but it is embedded in a fantasy world full of fairy spirit and mysterious beauty in an obscure and tactful way, and then explores and finds answers through the perspective of Chihiro, which represents the innocence of pure childhood, and uses a beautiful and poetic technique to express the profound dark things, diluting the discomfort and the sharpness of exposure and criticism caused by the direct collision between ideal fairy tales and cruel reality。

There are so many things expressed in the film, in addition to the core themes of self-growth, loss and return, which are also interspersed with the themes of environmental protection between man and nature, the themes of greed and abstinence, etc., so much that you don't know where to start, but the movie can make it perfectly integrated.

You say that looking at the mountains is not mountains, and looking at the water is not water, but you can do it; you say that looking at the mountains is the mountains, and looking at the water is water, and there is no problem at all; there is no blunt preaching, but it is just narrated in the seemingly ordinary, and it contains a ubiquitous and persuasive force to do good, which can make you truly appreciate its charm and rise in the bottom of your heart with a warm touch, isn't this the realm of returning to the basics?

Among the many themes, none is more profound than the growth, loss and return of the human self.

After Chihiro's parents became pigs, when Chihiro had to be independent and strong, wouldn't it be like our parents getting old, and we also grew up to the point where we had to leave our parents' wings and leave the familiar environment?

When we independently enter the big dye vat of society, even if we are afraid, helpless, and crying in the long night with our shoulders crossed, in order to survive, in order to protect them after they grow old and vulnerable, just as our parents sheltered us when we were children, we must finally wipe away our tears and move on.

This is growth, we have to live like this, just like Chihiro must accept a job that is not easy and helpless, or in reality we have more choices from difficult and helpless are not enough to be outsiders, but this is the nature of life, the difference is that some people are domesticated by that rule to a kind of cowardice, while some people always live with a bottom line.

That's why we say that there is only one kind of heroism in life, and that is to love life after recognizing the truth of life.

Another example is the faceless man, the appearance of the faceless man is like an expression: human nature is not good, human nature is not evil, and the beginning of human nature is a spotless blank paper.

As Chihiro said in the movie, this person will become bad in the "bathhouse". The story of the faceless man is like the process of "white paper of human nature" being polluted by the dark side of society, from wandering alone on a rainy night without care, to discovering that the original rules are so vulnerable in front of gold, the faceless man who has no one to care about except Chihiro immediately became the master in the bathhouse, and countless people fought to serve him, even if he became a monster and began to eat the people in the bathhouse, he was still the uncle who could not be offended by the bathhouse.

Perhaps, as people often say, one day, we who are innocent, kind and even cynical, under the reality of life and ruthless polishing, will become what we once hated the most.

This is lost, no matter how many things the faceless man devours, he is still lonely and empty, gold does not bring him satisfaction, and everything gold brings is far less warm than Chihiro's words on a rainy night.

Because Xiaoqian said: "You will never be able to get what I want." The faceless man began to transform, not so much because the river god's pill had an effect, but because the simple and kind Chihiro could move him and make him better.

When the train was moving on the sea, the faceless man who had vomited filth sat quietly next to Chihiro, for some reason, the tears of the audience fell inexplicably.

This is the return, whether it's about humanity or about love, he likes her, she's happy, so he's happy......

"No matter what, don't forget your name. ”

This line in the movie is so profound.

Looking at it, the audience understands why the name of the movie is "Spirited Away" instead of "Chihiro's Adventures in the Fantasy World", and then they can't help but ask themselves in their hearts: "Have we gradually forgotten our names, and gradually forgotten the most important thing?"

Therefore, when Chihiro said the name of the white dragon on the back of the white dragon, the moment the white dragon was awakened in the air, the audience was indescribably moved, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

Well, there is also a faint, seemingly nonexistent sour smell of love, remember each other's names, and then meet, protect each other, wake up each other, like love, and have nothing to do with love.

Don't forget your original intention, you have to always, remember your name, and find your way home. At the end of the story, Chihiro successfully saves her parents and leaves this fantasy town.

Perhaps it is a pity that the faceless man stayed with Granny Qian, and Bailong did not leave with Chihiro, but just told her to go forward and not look back.

I didn't know that the taste of parting was so bleak, I didn't know that saying goodbye had to be so strong, and I didn't know that after someone inadvertently said goodbye to you, they really wouldn't say goodbye.

When I saw Chihiro leave that world, I seemed to forget everything that happened before, and the audience always felt an inexplicable sadness, especially the beautiful and sad melody of BGM "That Summer" is still lingering in your ears.

"Will Chihiro and Hakuryu ever see each other again?"

"Why can't the white dragons leave together?"

"When you get out of this world, Chihiro forgets everything. ”

......

The audience sighed.

Maybe life is like this, there are always people leaving, and there are people constantly intruding, this is the theme of every life story that constantly alternates, the song ends with a broken sound, the picture of the empty ruins cannot be stopped, it is difficult to recover an inch in the passing time, and there is no going back to that summer.

But as the lines in the movie say, it's impossible to forget what happened, it's just that you can't remember it. I always remember.

"The heart is calling to you

I'm going to find you

Although the grief is repeated

But I still believe in it

......

Even if the lens is broken, a new view will be reflected

Even if dreams are shattered, good memories are made

I still believe that I will meet you in my dreams

........”

The ending song "With You" sounded, and all the audience was fascinated by this heavenly singing.

All the answers you want to know are in the song, and the most beautiful ending you can imagine is also in the song.

Listening to the wind and painting dreams, I don't ask how many times I am crazy at the end of the song......
