"Poncho on the Cliff" is another masterpiece by the animation master Hayao Miyazaki. The characters can be said to be super cute and lively, especially Zongsuke and Ponyo. The storyline is even more touching, it is a modern version of a romantic story. The event environment is full of Japanese island country characteristics, and the animation style is also bright, concise and romantic. Jinyu Ji is a lively little fish. By chance, she was rushed into a glass bottle at high tide and could not escape. At this time, Zongjie, a boy who happened to be on vacation at the beach, passed by and helped it out of trouble, and the mermaid got to know each other ever since. Zongjie took the goldfish home to feed and play together, and they were very affectionate. Since his sailor father was away at sea all day long, Zongsuke had to depend on his mother. This made him withdrawn and autistic, and he even ignored his elders. However, after meeting Jinyu Ji, Zongsuke gradually changed his indifferent attitude towards life, which also allowed him to slowly repair the flaws in his character. In an unexpected tsunami, Zongsuke injured his body. Jinyu Ji was contaminated with human blood and floated back into the sea. It turns out that there is another world in the ocean, where there is a strange man named Fujimoto who controls the hydrological environment. Because he discovered the ugliness of human pollution of the environment, he created another underwater world. He found that Jinyu Ji was infected with her popularity, and was about to use magic to bring her back to her original form, but things went counterproductive... There are many humanistic and touching plots in the film. First, Zongjie calls his parents by their first names, which is incomprehensible and unforgivable in China. This also reflects the equality between people. Should we also learn from it? ! Second, Zongsuke's father went to sea and could not return home. His mother was very angry. Zongsuke used a signal light to communicate with his father on behalf of his mother. Every sentence was deeply touching. What kind of family affection is this? Seeing this, to be honest, I Tears are coming, and at the same time there is a feeling of warmth like spring. This is the charm of art! ! Third, Sousuke gave the elderly paper-folded goldfish and sailboats to comfort them. As an educator, should we not only instill knowledge in children, but also let them care about the elderly and the people around them? ? ! Of course, the most exciting and classic thing in the film should be the story of Zongsuke and Ponyo. There were twists and turns between them. When Zongsuke and Ponyo passed by the cave, the power of magic began to disappear, and Ponyo became smaller and smaller. Zongsuke panicked and pulled Ponyo to run wildly. I was sweating in my heart. Ponyo turned back into a little goldfish, Zongsuke was sad, and so was I. Fortunately, the ending is perfect. In fact, there are many touching things in the film, which can be explained in just a few words. After reading it, I felt like I was returning to nature and returning to my original simplicity. All the unhappiness in real life disappeared, just like the leaves washed by a spring rain. What a good cartoon!
=---------------------------------------
I have been watching Hayao Miyazaki's new work "Ponyo on the Cliff" for the past two days. After watching it for the first time, I couldn't help but watch it a second time, and then the third and fourth time, just like his previous works. The works are the same.
Here, there is no need to say how simple and bright the painting style of this work is; how lively and lovely the characters are. I just want to talk about a few details and scenes that touched me the most.
Detail 1: Zongsuke and his parents always call each other by their first names. They always ask each other for advice and comfort each other when doing things, which makes me feel that they have equal status in the family. Zongsuke also became a good boy who was innocent, sensible and kind-hearted because of their equal title. This vaguely reveals to us an excellent family education model, which is worthy of Chinese parents’ deep thought.
Detail 2: On the night of the tsunami, in order to comfort the elderly, Sousuke gave them paper-folded goldfish and sailboats. Different personalities and interesting conversations naturally revealed family-like warmth. I hope our children can care about the elderly like Sousuke.
Detail 3: One of the most critical props in the play is the little green bucket that contained Ponyo. Ponyo has been carrying the bucket with her since she came back, like a beloved handbag.
Maybe it was another home for her. As the place where she met Zongsuke, it was the container of her first love, just like a token of love.
There are many other vivid and touching details, such as Zongsuke is very polite; Ponyo's sisters help her escape; Zongsuke's mother volunteers in a nursing home; Ponyo learns to drink tea and eat; Ponyo's love for babies, etc., can't be explained in detail, so I won't go into details. Let’s talk about the most touching scene.
Scene one: Zongsuke’s father went to sea, and his mother was very angry. Zongsuke used a signal light to communicate with his father in the dark night on behalf of his mother. Every sentence was deeply touching. As long as there is love in your heart, I believe everyone can experience it.
Scene 2: This part is the climax of the whole play. Zongsuke and his mother rushed home on the rolling coast, and Ponyo caught up with them on a fish-shaped wave. The red elf jumps and runs wildly in the black waves, full of energy and sparkling. There is no doubt that it is an image of breaking free from restraint and pursuing pure love. Her pure and pure love for Zongsuke made her turn into a human and rush towards him. Even if she caused a tsunami, it wouldn't be a big deal. Her heart was filled with Sousuke! This scene made me burst into tears. well! well! It’s too emotional!
Scene 3: When Zongsuke and Ponyo passed by the cave, the power of magic began to disappear, and Ponyo became smaller and smaller. Zongsuke panicked and ran away with Ponyo. My heart also tightened, and I really wanted to shout, Sousuke, come on! But Ponyo still turned back into a little goldfish, and I was as sad as Sousuke. It's almost the end now, it's pretty good, it's happy and perfect.
In addition to these, there are many things worth recalling. Ponyo's every move is so perfect and cute, and Zongsuke is so simple and strong at all times. The story of the whole film is smooth, the characters are vivid, the love is pure, and it is deeply touching. It retains Hayao Miyazaki's consistent style and characteristics, so I highly recommend it to everyone.
Later, I watched a documentary about the birth of "Poncho on the Cliff". There is a very interesting passage in it. Hayao Miyazaki went to a preview of the first animated film "Legend of the Sea" supervised by his son. Afterwards, he expressed his thoughts after watching it: He said that his son was not mature enough and he was just doing what he could. . I have also watched "Legend of Haiti". Although the painting style and scenery modeling are very close to Hayao Miyazaki's style, the storyline is too vague and the scenes lack the momentum they deserve. It always makes me feel like something is missing. It’s probably the soul of a cartoon.
I also finally understand why Miyazaki Hayao said that the eldest son is not mature enough. In fact, with the realm shown by Hayao Miyazaki, I am afraid that few people can reach that level of maturity in adulthood.
True maturity is not about talking about big principles, but about having a spirituality that returns to nature. This is my understanding.
--------------------------------------------- ---------
After I finished my homework and had nothing to do, my mother said I could watch Hayao Miyazaki's cartoons. Hayao Miyazaki is not only a famous animation director and cartoonist in Japan, but also in the world. He has produced too many cartoons, including "My Neighbor Totoro", "Porco Rosso", "Kiki's Delivery Service" and so on. I chose "Ponyo on the Cliff."
The protagonist of "Ponyo on the Cliff" is a 5-year-old boy named "Sousuke". It tells the story of him and "Ponyo" who changed from a fish to a half-mermaid and finally turned into a human. "The adventures of. The impression left on me by Zongsuke is that he is polite, sensible, kind and independent.
He met the grandparents at "Sunflower House" ("Sunflower House" is an apartment for the elderly) and said hello; he went to the kindergarten by himself, put on his raincoat after school, and went to the place where his mother worked next to the kindergarten to find his mother; When she was discouraged, Zongsuke encouraged her; when he saw a goldfish trapped in a glass bottle on the shore, he tried every means to rescue it. First he pulled the fish's tail hard, but he couldn't pull it out no matter how hard he tried. Pour it outside, but it didn't work. Finally, he smashed it with rocks and finally broke the glass bottle. He took out the little goldfish. He quickly ran home, filled the water with a plastic bucket and put the goldfish in. When "Ponyo" turned into a half-mermaid, she caused a big disaster and overturned the "Water of Life", making the moon very close to the earth, as if you could touch it with your hand. It's not an exaggeration at all. . "Ponyo" is very funny, it will spray water jets at people it hates; it can also use magic to turn toy boats into real boats, and also unblock the blocked areas of the generator; "Ponyo" likes it very much "Sousuke", it turned its siblings into fish, ran on the fish, chased "Sousuke"'s car, and finally jumped on "Sousuke" and gave him a big hug.
"Ponyo on the Cliff" is funny and touching. The part where "Zongsuke" and "Ponyo" went to find his mother moved me very much. In this cartoon, I also saw the beautiful underwater world and the once-extinct underwater creatures. The picture is perfect and the animation is beautiful. No wonder Hayao Miyazaki’s cartoons have won awards at the World Animation Exhibition many times. It is truly worthy of its reputation!
----------------------------------
In color The colorful deep sea, a flash of red pops into view, and a little mermaid escapes on a jellyfish, everything is like a dream. Chased by the weirdo, the little mermaid emerged from the sea. The dreamy seabed has also become a dirty world inhabited by humans. The little mermaid was trapped in a glass bottle by a fishing net and was rescued by a little boy named Sosuke. Unlike the little mermaid in Denmark, this time she became a protected object. A blood bond was formed, and the words "I will protect her" from the child's pure heart became a firm oath.
The fairy tale begins here, but this is not just a simple fairy tale. The turbid waters of the human settlements contrast sharply with the garbage and the deep sea where Ponyo lives. Like "Princess Mononoke", Hayao Miyazaki uses this contrast to accuse humans of destroying nature. "Human beings will take away lives from the sea." "I was once a human being, and how much I paid to no longer be a human being..." Fujimoto's words were even more direct accusations. However, when the clear seawater swimming with ancient creatures floods the land, people embody strength, cooperation, and optimism, as if the world has been evolved by the seawater, and they embody a valuable spirit. "The humblest and greatest creature in the world is human beings." I think this is what the author wants to say.
I think the most touching part of "Ponyo" should be Zongsuke and Ponyo. Whether it's Ponyo chasing Zongsuke on the waves and in the storm, or the happy life of the two children together, or Zongsuke's unchanging "I will protect her" when the Mother of the Ocean seriously asks. It was enough to leave a deep impression on us. "Ponyo likes Sousuke" "I don't care if it's Ponyo who looks like a fish, Ponyo who looks like a half-mermaid, or Ponyo who looks like a human being. I like them all." This time the little mermaid will not turn into a bubble again. After a kiss, they end up happily together. Of course, the child may not understand love yet, but as a human being, Zongsuke accepts Ponyo, which means that man and nature can definitely live in harmony.
Optimism, kindness, tolerance, understanding, mutual help, unity and friendship, fairy tales should show people the warm side of human nature. In addition to the protagonist, this is also reflected in the supporting characters. The warmth of the family reflected in the emotions of Zongsuke's parents, Lisa's concern for the Sunflower House during the storm, Zongsuke's strength when his parents were away, and the rescue team after the storm all have flashes of humanity.
The characterization of characters is also a strong point of this film. Zongsuke, a child born in a sailor family, is smart because he can skillfully send Morse code at the age of five. He is a child because he also wants his father to be safe.
He is kind because he gave his grandma a boat he folded to clear up the misunderstanding between the two. He is also naughty, playfully comforting Ponyo after she wets the little girl's clothes, saying it was the little girl's fault. Ponyo, a naughty little mermaid, she is cute, she will spit out small jets of water for people she doesn't like. She is clever because she cleverly evades her father's capture and helps Sousuke and those in need. She is brave. As a fish, she would not hesitate to become a human without magic in order to be with Zongsuke. She persisted, even at the last moment when she was about to turn back into a fish, she still held on to the small bucket tightly. Fujimoto gave up his original identity as a human being. He was disgusted with human practices, so he lived under the sea. He desperately wanted to turn the world into an ocean. In the end, Zongsuke saved the world and Ponyo. He realized his mistake again and shook hands with Zongsuke. Even the grandmothers in the Sunflower House and the young mothers on the boat have their own distinct characters. Everyone is kind at heart, and this is a fairy tale with no real villains.
In terms of expression techniques, all the images are hand-painted, giving us a soft aesthetic enjoyment. Sousuke's hut under the blue sea and sky, the shining starry sky after the storm, the magical water world under the clear water... all of these make this animation more like a fairy tale. In addition, the collaboration with Joe Hisaishi once again makes the picture more appealing under the beating notes. Ponyo's joy when she grows arms and legs, the moment she meets Zongsuke, and the bright music all make us feel the character's inner joy more deeply. The surging of the sea accompanied by symphonic music made us feel the majesty of the ocean. Accompanied by the rhythm of the low piano music, Sousuke's loss of not seeing his mother also struck our hearts. In addition, the processing of details makes this work more delicate. The shellfish lying in the coral house, the sea cockroaches moving on the reef, and Lisa's surprised face in the car rearview mirror will all bring small surprises to those who watch.
"Ponyo on the Cliff" brings all viewers back to their innocence and good nature. The truth, kindness, and beauty revealed are unforgettable... The mermaid "Ponyo" seems too outdated, without gorgeous pictures, majestic stories, and profound revelations--and this is exactly what Hayao Miyazaki's animation is about The charm lies in helping you find the most beautiful and innocent things you once owned. We modern people seem to have too many new ideas to express, but no one wants to quietly recall the past. Is it because we have nothing to tell about our childhood, or have we forgotten how to recall the past? After watching "Ponyo on the Cliff", I feel that Hayao Miyazaki has regained hope and innocence again! The story of this movie is very simple, so simple that I seemed to just see the beautiful dream of a five-year-old child. But in this dreamlike story, I saw the sincerity, kindness and unconditional love between people. ,
--------------------------------------------- -------------
Because I chose "Film and Television Art Appreciation", I was asked to watch a few love stories and write a 1,500-word review. So, after watching "Yun Shui Yao" and "Daisy" very utilitarianally, but to no avail, I accidentally looked for "Ponyo on the Cliff", and unexpectedly discovered that this is also a very simple love movie!
I used to watch "The Mermaid Princess" and I always felt sorry for the mermaid. I don’t understand why such a princess would give up everything for a human whom she met by chance, run away from home, grow arms and legs, and want to be with that person forever? I think the reason why I don’t understand is because I have a strong attachment to gains and losses, right? Will the dedication and reward not be worth it? Could he have failed the mermaid? Will the mermaid one day turn into a bubble and disappear in the sun? The life we ??promised must be a life, because "a month, a day, or an hour will not be considered a life." Does love hold us together or bind us together?
But "Ponyo on the Cliff" made me start to understand. Love, sometimes really starts to happen at the first sight of him, and this one sight has destined a lifetime of insignificance.
Children’s love is so pure, but it can also be so determined!
Zongsuke, the crew member’s son, is five years old. He calls his parents by their first names and is good at signaling. When my father, who had planned to go home, suddenly called and told his family that he had to change his schedule, my mother, who was busy in the kitchen, immediately got angry and wanted to go on strike and go out to eat. Zongsuke said calmly: No, I want to eat at home. In fact, Zongsuke just wanted to signal his father at the home built on the top of the island and say have a nice journey. The home on the island is a guardian tower for my father. Will this little boy, who is used to disappointment but still cheers up, be like a lighthouse, protecting her - Ponyo? This desperate little mermaid?
Love happens like that, and a vow will be made, whether she is "a fish, a half-mermaid, or a human, I like it all."
Zongsuke and Ponyo have gone through many tests and lived happily together. Will that last a lifetime? How could Zongsuke have been in love with this red-haired, goldfish-eyed mermaid all his life? Could he have a crush on other girls in kindergarten? Kindergarten can’t do it, but what about primary school? What about middle school? What about college? What about any moment in a lifetime? Will Ponyo grow up one day and regret her decision to not look back? Why have so many doubts? If there were so many worries, Ponyo would never have met her Zongsuke, and the fairy tale would never have begun.
