Below, let's analyze it for everyone:
In the morning when everything was born again, I came to the silent window. After everything returned to zero, I gradually enriched myself and stopped pursuing the other side of the sea. The dazzling treasure has always been here and can be found on me. Spirited Away is a great work dedicated to children by Miyazaki Hayao. Children will grow up eventually. In the face of a bathing society full of black smoke, moisture and desire, can they summon up courage and gain a better life in Don't forget your heart?
"The light I found has always been with me." Miyazaki Hayao said that maybe it was always with me, which gave him the story of Chihiro. This song eventually became the theme song of this movie, just as the lyrics sang: "Every time we fall to the ground and look up at the sky; We are surprised by her blue color, which seems to be the first time in our lives. " The significance of travel and adventure lies in: only by looking for it can we know that the brightest and warmest power comes from the heart.
10. torii
Torii is a Japanese-style building similar to China memorial arch, which stands on the avenue leading to the shrine or at the wooden fence around the shrine. Mainly used to distinguish the sacred realm from the secular world of human life. It is regarded as an enchantment, representing the entrance to the sacred realm, and it can be regarded as a "door". The Japanese believe that birds are the embodiment of human souls, including good souls and dirty souls. Birds can't get close to shrines, so an "open" arch named torii was built about 200 meters in front of the main entrance of each shrine. If birds lived here, they wouldn't fly into the shrine.
Chihiro and his family passed by torii, usually located in the middle of torii, and built by a tree. Torii's unusual position became the first sign that they were about to enter the wizarding world. It is said that "torii" is the difference between the world of God and the world of man. When you step into "torii", it means that you have entered the world of God.
9. Eyes
Speaking of this look, it is actually a detail that can't attract much attention. When Chihiro and his parents walked into the commercial street, there was an advertisement in the shape of eyes, which reminded people of an illustration in Tsuga Shanchun's "ねじ Style". There is another story about the "ねじじじ Style" written by Tsuji Ryoji: Tsuji Ryoji originally had a stable job, drawing illustrations for the cheap book market. Because of the disappearance of this industry, he fell into the army of unemployment, and his paintings which were different from the mainstream aesthetics could not be accepted by the comic book market. When he was depressed, Ji Chunjin dozed off on the roof of his apartment and had a dream, which was "ねじ style".
In Japanese, the word "eye" is pronounced as "め", while the word "dream" is pronounced as "?め" in Japanese. Considering the similarity between Yoshiharu Tsuge's dream story and Kanban, it is doubtful that what happened here is like a dream with his eyes.
8. dusk
When dusk came, all the shops in the town lit up, and all kinds of gods and shadows began to wander in the street. When Chihiro tried to go back along the way he came, he found that the original stone road was flooded at dusk, and a cruise ship came from the other side of the water. The god came down from the ship, and the mask on his face was the appearance of the spring god in the real society.
The word "dusk" comes from "who is there". During the period around sunset, people will say "Who's there" to each other when they pass by because of the dim light, that is, "Who's there?" In order to communicate with each other. Therefore, the sunset time is called "たそがれどき", which later evolved into "たそがれ", that is, when it encounters magic.
7. Bridge
The metaphor of the bridge is also memorable. The train is the carrier of time, and the bridge becomes the transition of space. Bridges have played a great role in the transition from one space to another and from the human world to the spiritual world. When Chihiro and Bailong crossed the bridge together, Bailong reminded that "you can't breathe when crossing the bridge", and there are some taboos in the transition from one world to another. A bridge is a transitional zone between two worlds, in a sense, like a tunnel. The metaphor of bridge often has the same meaning not only in Japan, but also in China. According to China's legend, after death, people have to cross a bridge to complete a life detachment.
6. Tang Wu
"Bathing place" is one of the characteristics of Japanese culture, which means a place to purify the soul. Tang House is a place where you can continue to live after falling into the mysterious world. Tang said that this is the place to wash the gods, and the river god who was mistaken for the corrupt god was washed here. We can see that there is a flag in the soup house with the word oil written on it, and the plaque on it is also the oil house. In fact, the Japanese words "soup house" and "oil house" have similar explanations in He Ying Dictionary, both of which mean "soup house/oil house" means "public bathhouse, bath pool".
The soup house shown to us in Spirited Away is a replica of a traditional bathhouse in the Edo era in Japan. Especially, the clothes of various service personnel working in this bathhouse and the "Japanese gods" patronized here are directly derived from the traditional kimono in heian period, Japan. In ancient Japan, many official buildings and official documents used Chinese characters to express pronunciation and meaning. The word "oil" seen in Spirited Away is actually a phonetic notation, which means the same as "soup house". Many times, this is a way to express a certain pronunciation, and a Chinese character is readily available.
Tang Wu, divorced from reality, is still hierarchical and full of desire for money. On the one hand, the bath is a place to wash the soul, on the other hand, it also shows that these desires are inseparable. People who are deprived of their names must work without regrets so as not to become dust.
5. Little Shenyang meatballs
The meatballs of the river god are a gift from the owner of the river. They are called "bitter dumplings" in Japanese, which have a purifying effect and will purify impurities in the body after eating. Before Hanazono Sakura began to bathe the owner of the river, everyone thought it was a corrupt God. Finally, he pulled out a pile of human garbage and found it was a river god. That meatball is a reward given to Hanazono Sakura by the river god. Speaking of purification, I wanted to give meatballs to my parents who turned into pigs, but I gave them to the white dragon who swallowed money stamps and those who were occupied by desire. In fact, Hanazono Sakura, who was the first to get the meatballs, took a bite, but it was just terrible. He didn't vomit, indicating that Hanazono Sakura's soul was pure and not wrapped in filth. The meatballs of the river god make people return to nature, which is an important element in the film.
4. pigs
His parents were turned into pigs by Tang because they were greedy for food offered to God. The image of a pig appeared here for the first time, and human beings became useless in that world, and their greedy nature was exposed.
In fact, the status of domestic pigs and wild boars in Japan is completely different, and domestic pigs are truly imported. Mr. Wada from the Department of Agriculture of Saga University mentioned in his paper that in ancient Japan, due to religious reasons, there was no habit of eating pork until the end of the shogunate, so it was impossible to raise pigs. Domestic pigs in Japan were introduced from the west at the end of 19. The "Japanese Black Dolphin", known as the excellent breed of Japanese domestic pigs, was successfully bred on 1978. When domestic pigs were introduced, it was the time when Japan yearned for the west. In addition, the imported domestic pigs are far from the local Japanese wild boar in image and pedigree, and the Japanese will naturally think that they are two different animals. The Japanese named this big-eared, lazy and obese animal "Dolphin". In addition to human greed, the behavior of raising pigs can also be manifested, and it is constantly impacted by the outside world in the magical world dominated by soup houses.
3. Trams
The elements of the tram appeared many times in Miyazaki Hayao's Spirited Away, and Chihiro, the hero, finally set foot on the tram without a return trip and resolutely set foot on the road to save Bailong. So why did Miyazaki Hayao join this scene many times? On this issue, Miyazaki Hayao himself once said: "It is better to embark on a hopeful journey than to give up Bailong and Tang, and the tram is the sign of departure, so the tram has appeared many times in Chihiro."
Stepping on the tram, there seems to be a lot of danger ahead, but Chihiro chose this road without hesitation, and even the tram without a return trip could not change her determination. Does this just show the strength of Chihiro? Remember what Grandpa Boiler said? : "This is the power of love." The affection between Chihiro and White Dragon seems to be like Miyazaki Hayao's "sincere friendship", but he himself left this foreshadowing in the animation. How do you explain this? The word love has no boundaries. It can transcend place, time and even age. The love between Bailong and Chihiro seems impossible at Chihiro's age, but Chihiro is only 10 years old, which can reflect the true meaning of love. Adults can't understand! Only this pure love can be considered as the greatest feeling in the world.
2. Kaonashi
Kaonashi is a very special character, symbolizing emptiness and loneliness. It is the most primitive, and there is no distinction between good and bad. When Kaonashi saw Chihiro, what kind of innocence attracted him was also a primitive demand. But at the same time of this demand, a desire to establish relations with others gradually evolved into possessiveness, and he wanted to establish relations through money. Money seems to make this unknown person no longer lonely. However, by devouring others, it is not only his body that expands, but also his emptiness and loneliness. Kaonashi always said that he was lonely, but the relationship between all things could not be maintained by money. Another interesting thing about Kaonashi is that he can't talk before he enters the bath. He ate a frog and spoke like a frog, but when he returned to his original appearance, he lost his language. As mentioned above, Kaonashi yearns for Chihiro's innocence, which cannot be solved by money. Therefore, what Miyazaki Hayao wants to express is probably the opposition between nature and civilized society. People who are lost in civilized society can find themselves only by rethinking the relationship with nature.
1. Name
"Name" is a very important core in the film. A name is a symbol of self-spirit. Chihiro was robbed of his name in the bathing place, so his name should be Chihiro. Therefore, the translation of the film Spirited Away actually refers to the pursuit and struggle between the loss of the soul and the search for the soul. People who work in oil houses must hand over their names and enter into contracts with Tang, which is very similar to the contractual relationship between capitalists and workers under the capitalist system; What Tang often does every day is to count money and keep accounts in his room, just like a stingy capitalist image; Forgetting one's own name implies that workers have lost themselves in the long-term mechanized labor-this is interpreted by Gong Lao as losing his real name by combining the idea of "expressing the spirit" in Japanese mythology. Some people here say that Chihiro has no real name, and Chihiro's real name is Ogino Chihiro, which is wrong. Chihiro did write his real name here. According to the Japanese Dictionary of Chinese Characters, the variant of "Di" is "Huo", and the two characters are common, not a typo, which reminds me inexplicably of the four ways of writing fennel beans (because the word "Huo" is also Chinese mainland's simplification of the word "Huo", which leads to confusion). Bailong told Chihiro not to forget his name, or he couldn't go home. Bailong forgot his name, but he still remembered Chihiro's name. Chihiro also said that he also had a familiar feeling with Bailong. In the movie, Tang's sister Qian has a famous line. She said, "It's impossible to forget what happened, but I just can't remember." Therefore, in the ending, Chihiro evokes the deepest memory of Bailong and remembers his name. Love always works miracles.
Everyone's name is just a synonym, but it is still a unique symbol of everyone. Appearance will change, age will change, and what time can't take away is the name that everyone bears from birth. Only by not forgetting it can we find our way home, no matter how long it is.
Finally, I want to pay tribute to Spirited Away in Miyazaki Hayao, and also to the time we spent watching cartoons.
