Although this Heisei Tanuki battle is not a work of Hayao Miyazaki, it can be judged from the opening minutes, and it is Ghibli's value-oriented animation of "man and nature" as always. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

From the very beginning of the Valley of the Wind to the later Princess Mononoke, Ghibli is most indispensable for works on this theme.

In terms of the theme of performance, Miyahara Shizune has a general sense of fighting with Heinari Tanuki.

"Man and nature" is a very vague and incomprehensible theme, and the choice of this theme of the film is easy to give the audience a sense of preaching, and it is difficult for people to bring in feelings, let alone deep and immersion, but it is easy to make people feel that the creator is moaning without illness.

Therefore, whether this kind of movie can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people depends on the strength of the supervision.

What's more, Shizune Miyahara has seen Ghibli's pinnacle work on the theme of "man and nature", "Princess Mononoke".

The Chinese translation of the name Princess Mononoke is actually not very suitable, because there is neither a ghost nor a princess in it, its literal translation should be the princess of the monster, this work can basically be said to be the best treatment of the theme of man and nature in the RB animation, Miyazaki Hayao integrates the discussion of the problem into the story of a teenager and a girl who meets, which can make people feel his deep meaning, but not dry reasoning.

But even Miyazaki has no way to give conclusions and answers to such a theme, and at the end of the Princess Mononoke story, the heroine Shan chooses to return to the forest alone after solving the crisis, rather than returning to human society.

She is human, but in the end she hates humans, and we can get a taste of what Miyazaki is trying to express.

In other words, the theme itself is an unsolvable spiral of contradictions, and no one can give a clear answer to how to achieve a balance between human society, industrial activities, and civilization progress in conflict with the natural environment.

In this Heisei Tanuki Battle, the tanuki challenge humans because of the destruction of their living environment, but the final outcome is that they can only choose to integrate into human society, can this be regarded as a harmonious coexistence between the two? Apparently not.

The protagonist of the movie is a group of raccoon cats, this entry point is actually very good, raccoon cats in RB legends and myths, is a kind of creature that is good at change, they are used as a representative of nature, but often or in human form or imitation of humans, it can be said that the raccoon cat is a creature, in RB's literary works often as a carrier and medium to connect nature and humans.

Miyahara was sure that he hadn't seen the work Heisei Tanuki Battle in his previous life, but this work gave him a sense of déjà vu.

It didn't take long for him to understand where this familiarity came from, and he remembered a TV anime he had watched that was also about tanuki and was called the Youdingtian family.

However, if you compare the two works, he prefers the latter, which has nothing to do with the production level of the two works, but in terms of theme, Miyahara Jing prefers the Dingtian family.

The theme of the latter is actually as big and empty as that of man and nature, and this theme is fate. However, the description angle of the work is specific and subtle, not entangled in the depth of the philosophical level, but through the description of a tanuki family, through the description of the different lives of the four tanuki brothers, it involves the process of accepting fate, rebelling against fate, and finally being unable to resist, but what the author wants to express in the work is not the helplessness in the face of fate, but on the contrary, what the author wants to show is: since fate is like this, then accept fate calmly, so that the process of going to fate is more interesting.

Shizune Miyahara herself likes the perspective from which the story is described and the negative and positive attitude towards life that is expressed in the work.

Although Miyazaki has the name of the producer in this Heisei Tanuki battle, in fact, he should not have put too much energy into this work, if Miyahara Shizun is not mistaken, at this time Miyazaki has already begun preparations for Princess Mononoke.

Princess Mononoke was created by Hayao Miyazaki as a "mountain work", so he poured a lot of effort into it, and even suffered from a hand problem in the process of creating Princess Mononoke, and this work did not live up to his expectations, after the release of Princess Mononoke, set a record of 14.2 million viewers, and won the box office championship of RB local films with a score of 19.3 billion yen.

Miyazaki himself is very satisfied that his hard work can get this kind of result, so far he can finish his work, retire at the peak of his life, and then leave a butt of legends.

However, it is important to say that Miyazaki's retirement is actually a story of twists and turns, and there is an important reason here that his little friend Ghibli is actually a pit teammate.

Don't think that Ghibli is very profitable, although they have works such as Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke, etc., but there are also many movies that hit the streets.

After Princess Mononoke, Hayao Miyazaki announced his retirement for the first time, and he withdrew from Studio Ghibli after the Princess Mononoke screening in 1997.

But soon, Yoshifumi Kondo, who was trained by him as his successor, died of overwork, and at the same time, "My Neighbor Yamada-kun" supervised by Isao Takada failed miserably at the box office, and Ghibli faced serious financial pressure, and at this time, Miyazaki had to go out again.

Of course, there is also a factor that Princess Mononoke's box office was surpassed by a Hollywood shipwreck film, and it has to be said that this aroused the ambition of the old man Gong, and with the slogan of returning to the first place, he once again returned to the animated film industry.

So there was Spirited Away in 2001.

As a result, everyone knows that the movie Spirited Away can't help but make Miyazaki regain the RB box office champion, and the award is like Miyazaki's back garden, and his comeback this time is "Tiger Patrol".

Miyazaki was satisfied again, so he waved his sleeves and decided to do Sayanara again and retire for the second time.

However, the following year, the animated film "Cat's Kindness" supervised by Ghibli Morita Hiroyuki hit the box office again, which made Miyazaki break his promise again and re-emerge.

Howl's Moving Castle in 2004 was born.

This time, Miyazaki finally understood the cosmic truth of fire prevention, anti-theft and anti-teamwork, so he silently shut up and worked hard in Ghibli for six years.

In fact, at this time, even if Miyazaki made the most vicious vow, "if you don't retire, you're a puppy", no one will believe him, and no matter how much you don't repeat it.

It wasn't until 2010, after the poppy blooming hillside, that Miyazaki announced his complete retirement due to heart disease.

This time, Ghibli didn't pit Miyazaki again, but Old Man Gong already had a sense of precaution against his teammates at this time, and soon he made a supplementary explanation of his retirement, that is, his retirement is no longer making feature-length animations, and in fact, in 2015, he is still making short animation caterpillar Polo......

It can be seen from here that Hayao Miyazaki's "old man is in the bush", well, can make people feel a kind of red revolutionary spirit of endless struggle in life......
