In the whole movie, Kaonashi appeared nine times, which is one of the most important supporting roles.
It first appeared on the bridge leading to the soup house. He is so lonely, so bored looking at pedestrians coming and going, doing such things day after day. The appearance of Chihiro changed his life. For monsters, the appearance of human beings makes many monsters feel at a loss, just like a plague. Kaonashi's reaction is very strange. When he saw Chihiro, a happy smile appeared on the expressionless mask. Perhaps Chihiro's innocence touched him and made him suddenly have a sense of existence. Since then, he has been following Chihiro, keeping a certain distance wherever he goes, and watching her silently from behind.
The second time was after Chihiro finally got a job in the soup house. It was raining outside and Kaonashi was standing in the rain. Chihiro: It's raining. Aren't you afraid of getting wet? Come on in. Kaonashi remained silent. Chihiro said, then I won't close the door. Perhaps it was neglected for a long time, and Kaonashi was moved by Chihiro's concern. No one knows what he thinks in the rain. I think the most is probably moving. At this time, it also reflects the indifference and opposition between people in the real society, and even a little care can't be done.
The third appearance was in the process of Chihiro's work. At that time, it was necessary to take a bath, but the bath manager didn't give her a medicine card. Without the medicine card, there is no water and no cleaning. After seeing Chihiro's embarrassing situation, Kaonashi secretly took one for her, and Chihiro accepted it happily. Kaonashi thought Chihiro would be happy with medical cards, so he stole a medical card and gave it to Chihiro, but Chihiro no longer accepted them. Kaonashi was moved by Chihiro's concern for him. He decided to do something for Chihiro. He mistakenly thought Chihiro would be happy for this drug brand, so he stole a lot. He doesn't understand that Chihiro is just for work, so he doesn't need so much. At this time, he really looks silly and cute, just like the big boy in Seeds of Love, who thinks that girls will buy a lot of things they like. But at this time, he was more grateful for helping Chihiro.
The fourth time, after the soup house was closed, the patrolling frog found Kaonashi climbing into the bathtub. He stepped forward and stopped him: we have closed. What are you doing here? Get out. Kaonashi made some gold without saying a word, and then said, "Give me water quickly, I want to take a bath." The frog jumped at the gold, and Kaonashi caught it and ate it. I don't quite understand why Kaonashi climbed into the soup house after closing. Maybe it was because he wanted to see Chihiro, or because he felt lonely and wanted someone to accompany him. He ate a frog, which shows that he hates such greedy people.
The fifth time, Kaonashi ate and drank in the soup house as if he didn't have enough to eat. People see that Kaonashi can conjure up countless gold, so they have been trying to please him, hoping that he can conjure up more gold. Don Popo hated this faceless man so much that he tried to drive him away, only to find that he could conjure up piles of gold. Tang Yuyan knew that Kaonashi came to Chihiro, so he asked Chihiro to receive him. Kaonashi, who did not have enough to eat, represented a kind of greed, greed for material life and excessive indulgence. And people's reaction is also the embodiment of greed, so we saw a naked picture of money worship. Kaonashi pours people's food into his mouth plate by plate, without caring about his growing body. People cheered in the gold pile and fought for a few pieces of gold. At this time, Kaonashi, like a powerful emperor, manipulated people's nerves with money desire. Vanity and complacency make him think that money can buy everything he wants.
Appeared for the sixth time, Chihiro and Kaonashi sat opposite each other in the room, and Kaonashi had eaten half to death. "I am lonely", "I am really lonely" and "I will give you gold" Kaonashi said to Chihiro. But Chihiro, eager to save the White Dragon, politely refused Kaonashi and said, "I don't want your gold." . Kaonashi was very sad. Chihiro took out the meatballs given by the river god and let Kaonashi eat them. Kaonashi immediately vomited wildly and began to vomit sadly. "I won't let you go," said Kaonashi. Chasing Chihiro all the way, he left the soup shop. Finally, Kaonashi spat out both the man who ate it and the frog. At this time, Kaonashi is still immersed in the bubble that money can buy everything. He arrogantly thinks that money can touch Chihiro's heart. Chihiro's refusal made Kaonashi feebly realize that Chihiro was not greedy, but pure. He felt very sad. I don't know how Kaonashi felt when he ate the balls of the river god, but I think even if Chihiro gave him poison, he would not hesitate to eat them. Kaonashi kept vomiting, spit out a lot of food and drinks, spit out the people he had eaten, and then returned to his side. It's like a boy whose vanity and complacency are punctured by reality, and he can fight. He thought Chihiro was hurting him and tried to give him a heavy blow.
For the seventh time, in the sea on the grassland, I told Xiaoling: Actually, it's very kind, but he will go bad in Tang's place, so he rowed to the station with Grandpa Boiler's electronic ticket. Kaonashi and the little mouse that the big baby turned into followed closely. Chihiro: Do you want to go to the bottom of the swamp? When getting on the bus, the ticket inspector asked Kaonashi for a ticket. Chihiro: Does he want a ticket, too? So I gave the ticket 40 years ago and got on the tram. This is a classic scene. Two people were sitting on the tram, and Kaonashi looked straight ahead, not talking or doing anything, just like a child who did something wrong. He was afraid of Chihiro leaving, so he had nowhere to go. He thinks Chihiro is the warmest place in the world. Wherever she goes, as long as he follows her, he can get warm. Chihiro was worried about the white dragon at this time. He didn't care about the guy who was playing soy sauce beside him, so he was silent all the way. At this time, Kaonashi fell in love with Chihiro, just like a drowning man grasping at straws. He stubbornly believes that Chihiro will forgive his mistakes and be willing to accept him. He doesn't understand that Chihiro is just an ordinary friend. Like a child who made a mistake, I hope to get Chihiro's pity and forgiveness through this silent begging.
When he appeared at Qian's house for the eighth time, Qian asked everyone to sit down with great concern, especially to Kaonashi: Please sit down, too. Chihiro returned the seal to Qian and apologized to Qian on behalf of Bailong Company. I had a good time knitting sweaters with the mouse from a big baby to money. Qian Popo also said: This is much more useful than using magic. Kaonashi really realized the purpose of Chihiro at this time. The concern of money also made him feel concerned, and made him find a little comfort because he had always lacked a sense of existence. Does Kaonashi work hard to show his Excellence and his understanding? I don't know, boys always make some efforts for the people they love, even if it seems that they are just trying. Kaonashi still wants to be with Chihiro. He can only show his kindness in exchange for Chihiro's attention or praise.
When it appeared for the ninth time, Bailong and Tang's big baby all came back. Qian Yuyan said: Let Kaonashi stay with me as my assistant. Kaonashi said goodbye to her, though she didn't want to go to Chihiro. In fact, it is ok to follow, and money is not unreasonable. However, in the face of Chihiro's favorite White Dragon, although Kaonashi had the ability to fight one of them, he gave up. He saw Chihiro's joy when he saw the White Dragon, which made him choose to give up and let the two lovers have a beautiful and harmonious ending. This is what Chihiro wants and what he can give ... He knows very well that Chihiro likes white dragon, and white dragon can give Chihiro more things that he can't bring. As they say, if you love someone, let her live a better life. Kaonashi is a face-saving person. Although he has spit out all his vanity and greed, he is still a face-saving person. Money discovered Kaonashi's feelings, kept him and broke the embarrassment. Looking at the departed Chihiro and White Dragon, I don't know what it's like to wave to do other things in Kaonashi's heart at this time. Maybe he is sighing sadly, maybe he will feel the joy and happiness of Chihiro. After all, he loves Chihiro very much.
In this era, too many people will feel lonely and at a loss. As Kaonashi told Chihiro, I am lonely and I really need company. In order to get the attention of others, some abnormal means or gimmicks xué tou are used in exchange for more praise and praise from greedy and ignorant people. Chihiro refused his temptation and made him understand that not all people are greedy and ignorant. When the people we love don't care about themselves, we often show resentment and anger. Everyone's heart will refuse loneliness and seek warmth, hoping to get happiness and warmth from others. However, for fear of being hurt, we put on layers of masks, which became our burden and the heaviest protective shell, but this mask to protect us was so fragile. After getting a little warmth, I want to keep all my greed for myself, but after being rejected a little, it is easy to become a deep scar, either hurting others or hurting or conniving at my degeneration, so I am lost in this bustling world full of temptations. As we all know, no amount of money, food and flattery can fill the bottomless pit of desire and loneliness. Finally, when I woke up, I had nothing and nothing.
I tried to take off Kaonashi's mask more than once, but so what? Maybe there is another mask behind the mask, which makes no sense. I am also afraid that others will take off my own mask, which is a naked fear. Perhaps behind the mask, there is a lonely and lost face like Kaonashi. Everyone should wear a mask to live and cover up their inner greed and desire. However, when night falls, do people feel heavy after recalling their day's life? Everyone wants to treat others sincerely, but how many people can shed their desire for protection in front of others? Maybe when you love someone, you will give up resistance and peel off the shell. How much trust is needed? When Kaonashi shines into reality, I seem to see myself crying silently in the corner.
The supporting role of Kaonashi may be just a small ornament in the whole story, but it reflects too many things. Kaonashi's love is insipid. Maybe he is a lovely secret admirer, but he is by no means a successful suitor. He only knows how to give everything for love, but he uses everything in the wrong place. There are many people in the world who are willing to give everything for the people they like, but they still can't get the favor of the people they like. Maybe that's why. However, Kaonashi's exit is still very free and easy, without any shyness and reluctance, just nodded calmly, burying his inner complexity and reluctance under the mask that people can't see through. In fact, he never asked for anything. As long as he seeks happiness, he feels very happy. By replenishing my brain again, I suddenly felt that I knew more about this character and found my own shadow in him. Everyone has such a Kaonashi in his heart. He is cute, hateful, shy and angry. Occasionally greedy and arrogant, occasionally bow their heads and admit their mistakes. Maybe he is still a child in affection, but it is this pursuit of affection and warmth that touched my heart.
