The beginning of Spirited Away is not that exciting.
A seemingly ordinary family, a seemingly ordinary lost journey, and those seemingly ordinary scenery. Perhaps the only thing that makes everyone feel strange is the loss and loneliness of the little girl - leaving
Her own friends, but her parents said they didn’t want to talk too much “nonsense” with her.
So there was noise coming from time to time in the theater.
Hanhan, who is lively by nature, was also a little impatient. While eating sweet popcorn, he asked Zhao Zhihuo next to him: "Dad, I still like those English cartoons. The people in them can't seem to stand up!"
"Well, let's take a look, let's take a look."
Knowing that his daughter was talking about three-dimensional animation, Zhao Zhihuo quickly coaxed her with a smile.
However, after reading this ordinary beginning, Lao Zhao also felt a little guilty. He didn't understand that Lao Bai had written several sets of wonderful picture books. I heard that the sales were very good, and "Frozen" also sold well.
The Americans were given the opportunity to adapt the animation, so why did they collaborate with the Japanese on "Spirited Away: The Hidden God"? Is it really just as he said, a whim while traveling to Kyoto, Japan?
The start was mediocre and didn’t seem interesting!
"Okay, let me watch the movie!"
Compared to the father and daughter, Li Ran was much quieter now. She glared at them and scolded them in a low voice. Li Ran was very patient, and she felt that she seemed to like this kind of picture and style, so she kind of hated her husband and her husband.
My daughter was chirping next to me.
"Shh..."
After blinking at his daughter, Zhao Zhihuo also looked at her carefully.
Then……
"Ouch!"
When Qianxun discovered the weirdness of this amusement park and saw scenes that were a bit scary, Zhao Zhihuo couldn't help but let out a low cry and began to look at it seriously.
"Ah, pig!!!"
When Qianxun desperately ran back to where she left and saw her parents turned into pigs, Hanhan was so frightened that she screamed and got into her mother's arms. Her favorite popcorn was scattered all over the floor.
…
…
"Xiaopeng, do you want to invite some friends over?"
When leaving the hotel, the eldest aunt discussed with Sun Peng: "They will call a group of relatives when the time comes, and there will only be a few of us...it won't look good!"
"What's not to like? This is Xiaopeng and Jiajia's engagement ceremony. It's not more than anyone else!"
Sun Qicheng obviously disapproved of his wife's proposal.
"Haha, I don't think it matters either."
Blinking her eyes, her sister-in-law Sun Yanling also chuckled and said: "And no matter how many people come from the Zheng family, who can compare with our Xiaopeng... Oops! Speaking of which, today is the day when Qianxun is released, right?
"
"Ahem, yes, it will be released today."
Originally not interested in the topic of his aunt, Sun Peng quickly smiled and nodded.
"You guys..."
Seeing that everyone else seemed to be disapproving of this, the eldest aunt could only shake her head and stop mentioning the topic. However, when she thought of Sun Peng's current achievements and status, she was still a little worried.
It has also dissipated a lot - just like Sun Qicheng said, these two people getting married are not more important than who has more family members. In the future, whoever speaks louder at home will be more important. What matters most is how the two young people relate to each other.
get along……
"Buzz..."
Just when Sun Peng was accompanying Smiley and about to say a few words, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
When he saw the number, Sun Peng's heart suddenly moved.
After answering the call from Japan, I had just said hello when Yamada Ichiro's voice came over: "Sunsan, the first day's box office is out! The first day's box office of "Spirited Away: The Hidden God" is very good.
…”
…
As the plot of the movie progresses, Zhao Zhihuo's family of three are slowly immersed in it.
Characters such as Xiaobai, Granny Tang, Grandpa Boiler, Faceless Man, and Xiaoling appeared one after another, showing their own charm. In order to survive, Qianxun began to work hard and showed the qualities of the heroine.
Strong side outside...
The story that originally seemed dull began to sparkle.
For Hanhan, what she saw was a story that made her a little confused: there were strange characters everywhere. Apart from the cute soot, paper people and interesting street lamps, the most important thing was to watch the excitement.
That's all; but for Zhao Zhihuo, what he saw was Lao Bai's super rich imagination - the river god and garbage; gold and greed, as well as the two sides of Granny Qian and Granny Tang, etc.
As for Li Ran...
To be honest, she loved the lines in it!
"Life is like a train bound for the grave. There will be many stops on the way. It is difficult for someone to accompany you from beginning to end. When the person accompanying you gets off the train, you should be grateful even if you are reluctant to leave, and then wave goodbye.
"
"No matter how hard the road ahead is, as long as you go in the right direction, no matter how bumpy it is, you will be closer to happiness than standing still."
"You never know when someone accidentally says goodbye to you, and then they really never see you again."
"Because I met you, I knew that I could also have beautiful memories. Therefore, no matter how you treat me, I will forgive your hatred with my heart and remember your kindness with my heart."
…
So when the song "Forever Together" sung by Kasumi Aoki played at the end of the movie, Li Ran knew that she had been fascinated. In the next few days, she would definitely not be able to help but walk into the cinema again,
Watch cartoons she'd never want to watch a second time...
…
"A classic and one of the best animations I've ever seen!"
A little later, film critic Xiaochong published his own review of the film, saying with emotion: "The reason why I released it so late is because I watched it three times today, and I finally understood a lot of the details in it.
A detailed review will be posted later, but before that I have to say it once: this is one of the best animes I have ever seen and highly recommended!"
Compared with Xiaochong, Yiye Zhiqiu's comments are much more "unobjective".
"The entire animation is filled with the shadow of Lao Bai!"
In Yiye Zhiqiu's Weibo, he continued to advocate Lao Bai's excellence: "From animation planning to screenwriting, from assistant director to soundtrack, the name Lao Bai filled almost every aspect of "Spirited Away: The Hidden God".
A corner! In my opinion, this may be the reason for its success - I really can't imagine how Lao Bai created such an animation with such a strong Japanese flavor and made it so perfect..."
Among the three blockbusters released on the same day, Spirited Away’s reputation undoubtedly ranks first!
