Chapter 293: Repercussions
Children's Day has passed, and the children are happily returning to class, but the impact of Children's Day is fermenting, especially for "My Neighbor Totoro".
"Audience friends, welcome to this issue of "Film and Television Hot Reviews", I am Xia Zhi, let us welcome the guest of this issue, the well-known film critic - Teacher Zheng Tong..."
Film and Television Hot Review is a very hot film review program, for the most popular movies in recent times, it has been held for a long time, and the response is also very good.
"Children's Day has just passed, recently, there is no doubt that the most popular movie is Teacher Fallen Leaves' new work - "My Neighbor Totoro", what do you think of this, Mr. Zheng?"
"For the master's work, there is no need to introduce it, I believe that the audience and friends have already rolled the melon, in short, this is a masterpiece of the gods, after "My Neighbor Totoro", no one will have an opinion on calling the master now......"
A middle-aged man said with a smile that he was the guest this time, Zheng Tong, who was quite famous in the film critic world.
"Uh... Teacher Zheng, let's talk about digression first, as far as I know, you and Master Ye Luo have a holiday......" Xia Zhi glanced at her small notebook and said with a smile.
"It's not that I had a holiday with the master, but I was self-righteous and hit my head with an iron, and as a result, I was beaten in the face..."
"Oh? Can you tell us more about it? ”
"There's nothing wrong with it, I was young and vigorous at the beginning, and I won the audience's recognition by relying on relatively negative film reviews, and I was a little complacent, and then "Robot Cat" was born, and I bumped into it, and as a result..."Zheng Tong smiled bitterly, and then became serious, "Since that time, I know whether film and television works are excellent or not, it is not decided by us opening our mouths, it is always the audience that really works, the master woke me up, made me sink down, and no longer be complacent about brushing up bad reviews, for this, I am very grateful." ......”
"......" Xia Zhi was stunned, originally thought that there was an old grudge, but she didn't expect this topic to change, and she became a brainless fan directly when she saw it like this, and she was still talking endlessly, Xia Zhi came back to her senses and quickly interrupted.
"Ahem, let's get down to business... Mr. Zheng, what do you think of "My Neighbor Totoro" as a whole? ”
"Although the title of the film is "My Neighbor Totoro", 'My Neighbor Totoro' did not appear at the beginning, and it was not until nearly halfway through the film, but even if 'My Neighbor Totoro' is not mentioned, there are scenes in the film that need to impress us, maybe that's what the master thinks."
"My Neighbor Totoro" begins with a fresh way of depicting the picture of childhood, as well as the rural scenery of birds and flowers, which makes children yearn for it, and also allows adults to immerse themselves in their own memories and integrate it into this movie."
"Every shot is point-to-point, in fact, this is the childhood we remember, too much rendering will be counterproductive."
Zheng Tong said, and Xia Zhi nodded.
"My Neighbor Totoro depicts not a story, but a life, and it is precisely because of such a realistic depiction that we are deeply moved by our mature age, and the family affection in it is even more so..."
"That's right, the family affection in "My Neighbor Totoro" is like a spring breeze and drizzle, 'sneaking into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently', there is no life and death, no sharp contradictions, but our hearts have been captured by "My Neighbor Totoro" unconsciously. In the story, the sisters sometimes have some little awkwardness, but after a while, the two are entangled together, no one cares, and the sisters and their parents have not been awkward at all, such warmth, this is desirable. ”
This kind of life of interdependence and soul connection is the life that everyone who is still full of hope for life in their hearts wants to have. Although the house is simple, just a simple wooden house, and even leaks, it is enough to live happily with the people you love. ”
"Mr. Zheng, you said so, "My Neighbor Totoro" has no shortcomings?" Xia Zhi is ready to do something.
"The only drawback is the plot, however, this is a warm and everyday movie, and the plot is daily life, and there is nothing to criticize..."
Xia Zhi: "......" Who wants you to say this?
"This has nothing to do with the fact that I'm Ye Luo's brainless fan, of course, My Neighbor Totoro has a deeper meaning..."
Zheng Tong glanced at the host, paused, and continued,
"Everyone's opinion of "My Neighbor Totoro" is generally warm, like, and healing, which is of course no problem, which is also what the master wants the children to see, but for this movie, my mood is not only so, after watching it several times, I was depressed to find that life is really not good."
"Sad? When I watched "My Neighbor Totoro", I also felt that time cannot be reversed, and when we grow up, we can no longer go back to that innocent and pure era, leaving only those memories...... However, these feelings are only the touch of the movie on us, and "My Neighbor Totoro" itself is warm. Xia Zhi disagreed.
"If that's the case, then you're misunderstanding me. Childhood is innocent, but not all happy......" Zheng Tong shook his head.
"The first is waiting, and the reason why My Neighbor Totoro evokes memories is its realistic description. Just like in the story, waiting for my dad at the station, maybe I didn't go to the station, but I waited at home, maybe not my father, but my mother. You've probably all had this experience, right? The rain outside the house changed from small to heavy, lightning and thunder, the sky became dark, and from time to time there was a terrifying roar, when we were children, we hid in the house and shivered, looking out of the house longingly, or looking at the side of the road, but we never saw the figure of our parents. ”
"That kind of loneliness, loneliness, confusion, fear, it is these emotions that will make us deeply impressed by the scene of waiting for the bus, maybe when we finally see our parents, these emotions will be washed away by joy, but in the process of waiting, it will definitely not be happy."
The second is loneliness, which is reflected in Xiaomei. Satsuki has a strong personality, wants to go to school, and has friends. But when Xiaomei came here, she didn't have the social circle of the school, and she couldn't make friends to play. The mother is hospitalized, the father goes to work, and for a child, loneliness is very scary. ”
Therefore, in the story, Xiaomei cried and wanted to find her sister. On the way home, there was a sudden heavy rain, and when she ran to avoid the rain, Xiaomei fell, and she said to her sister Xiaoyue, "Xiaomei didn't cry, brave, right?" ’。 She cried with fright when she had no relatives and nothing to do; When you have relatives, even if you fall hard, you have someone to accompany you and you are not afraid. ”
"Loneliness is more frightening than pain."
Finally, there is fear, the children's hearts are sensitive, and the sisters have always had a faint worry, even fear, about their mother's condition, and this deep uneasiness runs through the film. The conflict between the sisters also stems from this. In addition, my sister was also scared half to death because of her sister's disappearance. ”
"Although what Mr. Zheng said has some truth, I always feel that something is wrong, I am not watching this "My Neighbor Totoro"..."Xia Zhi looked cute.
"If My Neighbor Totoro doesn't exist, even if it exists, it never appears, this movie shows what I just said, but that would be too heavy for children, and it can't be called "My Neighbor Totoro", although childhood can't be all happy, but childhood is innocent, so My Neighbor Totoro appeared just right." Zheng Tong smiled, as a top film critic, he always has his own perspective and opinion.
"My Neighbor Totoro appeared four times in the movie, but each appearance softened our hearts."
"My neighbor totoro first appeared after my sister Xiaoyue went to school with her classmates, and my sister Xiaomei was playing alone and lonely, so she saw Totoro, a warm Totoro. My younger sister, who is curious and fresh about everything, is very impressive when she lies on the big belly of a nap Totoro and teases Totoro, and in my opinion, this is the most childlike picture in the whole film.
Maybe it's because Totoro is too soft and kind, and my sister is not afraid of this Totoro who opens his mouth and whistles loudly. She just playfully kept playing with Totoro's nose, and learned Totoro to open his mouth to the maximum, and then howled so loudly that even Totoro was stunned. In the end, my sister was relieved to sleep peacefully on My Totoro's undulating belly. My neighbor totoro dispelled her loneliness. ”
"The second time was the scene of waiting. I think this is one of the most classic scenes in My Neighbor Totoro. My Neighbor Totoro with a lotus leaf on his head, the dim halo under the dilapidated street lamp, the delicate and realistic water droplets dripping, and a series of subtle changes in My Neighbor Totoro's expression all show the master's skill. Especially in the anxiety of the little girl waiting for her father, the sense of fantasy and innocence of companionship is particularly warm. It's good to have someone to accompany you when you're anxious..."Xia Zhi interjected, with a hint of longing in her tone.
"That's right, the second time it was the mischievous Totoro, or rather the cute Totoro, although this time the Totoro didn't seem to be of much help, stayed for a while, and quickly left. But as he left, the rain stopped and Dad returned. The rain stop and Dad's return have nothing to do with Totoro. It used its cute and cute personality to dispel the anxiety of the sisters in waiting, just like the host said, when you are anxious, it is very reassuring to have someone to accompany you..."Zheng Tong nodded, took over the topic, and continued.
The third appearance of Totoro was a sign of his friendship, and that night, with the help of Totoro, the fruit seed that the sisters had been waiting for for a long time finally germinated. In the dream, I saw the planted oak seeds, which grew into large trees in the moonlight, and flew into the sky with My Neighbor Totoro. That sense of romance and fun that can be done to the best represents the childlike fantasy and yearning dreams of children..."
"The last time it appeared, it was the memorable 'My Neighbor Totoro Bus'?"
"That's right, the last time it was Totoro who helped my sister find my sister. After finding their sister, the sisters got on the softest and most exotic 'Totoro bus' in the world, and the bus took them to visit their mother, whom they missed the most. My sister finally got her wish and quietly delivered the freshly picked corn to the windowsill of my mother's ward, although it didn't help my mother's illness, but let the sisters fulfill their wishes and make up for their regrets, which is the most important thing..."
......
"The movie "My Neighbor Totoro", if you pick out My Neighbor Totoro, is a simple and a little heavy story, but it does not affect the fluency of the film, which is why I said that Mr. Fallen Leaves can be called a master, simple stories are everywhere, but only a few strokes of the master, added Totoro, so that the whole story is filled with innocent innocence and full of warmth and friendliness, the effect is completely different."
"My Neighbor Totoro brings the best story to the audience, living with my family, being neighbors with Totoro, this is our innocent childhood. Whenever you stand alone on the platform, trust Totoro to be right next to you, the deity we look up to, and our friend, who is there for you all the time, although it can't help much. ”
"The master uses the most vivid and delicate brushstrokes to portray the crystal-pure world of children. It is precisely because of this that we are fortunate to be able to find the innocence and beauty in "My Neighbor Totoro" that we never want to lose. I think this may be one of the reasons why everyone loves My Neighbor Totoro. Because even though our daily lives tend to be mundane and far from poetic dreams, My Neighbor Totoro can always bring a rainbow after rain to a world that is not always bright. ”
"Finally, let me say one more digression, do you see the 'My Neighbor Totoro Bus' flying in the two-dimensional playground? Hear the children's laughter on it? So, federal government, what are you waiting for? ”
After talking endlessly for more than half an hour, Zheng Tong had no pressure, but his face was ruddy and full of energy, but unfortunately there was not enough time, and the host interjected and concluded.
"Okay, if you haven't seen this movie yet, I highly recommend you to enjoy this rare warmth with your children and parents, this is the end of this issue of "Film and Television Hot Reviews", we'll see you next time..."
……
In the morning, it is the peak time for school and work.
Xiaoyu's mother sent Xiaoyu to school, Xiaoyu turned her head and said to her mother seriously, "Mama, I don't need you to pick me up in the future, I can go home alone, or I can go to school alone..."
“…… Okay..."Xiaoyu's mother was stunned, nodded and agreed.
In Xiaoyu's mother's opinion, her daughter is smart, smart, well-behaved and cute, everything is good, but there is a little, unsociable, very clingy, she has to pick up her own from school, the school is equipped with a school bus and refuses to sit, and the children of single-parent families are more lonely, which is no way.
Suddenly, I heard my daughter say that she wanted to go to and from school by herself, no matter what, this is a good thing, Xiaoyu's mother agreed.
But when it was time for school to get out, Xiaoyu's mother was still not at ease, and quietly hid in the corner, watching her daughter and her friends in the school crowd in the place where they usually wait for the school bus.
Has my daughter changed sex? Xiaoyu's mother was pleasantly surprised, and then she watched a group of children chatting with anticipation.
"It's coming!" The children cheered.
Xiaoyu's mother fixed her eyes and saw a very familiar school bus floating over, yellow, dull, round, and fluffy, isn't this the "My Neighbor Totoro Bus"?
After the broadcast of "My Neighbor Totoro", the federal government reacted quickly, and after Ye Luo authorized it with 1 credit, the school buses of kindergartens and elementary schools in various places were made into "My Neighbor Totoro Bus", and the children cheered.
Seeing the children lining up neatly and getting on the bus one by one, Xiaoyu's mother had a smile on her face, what she didn't say was that she would be Ye Luo's brain-dead fan in the future.
