My top 3 Ghibli Movie

这两天参加 giveaway contest而写的文章。好不容易抹出来,就贴在这里了。
写完这片文章发现自己是不适合写影评的,用英文更是弱得不行,很多内容用英文不知道如何表达,所以内容也是寒碜地很,痛苦。写得也很累,回想自己以前写open question的经历,用英文写东西依旧是不够熟练。以后有机会再练习了。


1,Laputa: Castle in the Sky
I could remember the words princess Anna said in Rome holiday when she was asked Which city did she enjoy the most.
Yes.There have been some memories I will cherish as long as I live. Then I'd give you one.

A spring morning, the teacher told us she'll take to see a movie today, We felt very happy, one by one, hand by hand, have a stride forward towards the cinema.It's a warm and sunny day, full of the smell of spring. When the theater curtain opened, the music roused, I was absorbed by the tremendous fantasy movie and the fabulous music, I didn't move as I had been nailed firmly in the seat. I was shocked and what I could do was to open each cell of my body to enjoy the moments I was in the movie.
The film is called "castle in the sky" and I was 7 years old that year. Now the memory is wrapped with a sunlight layer. And I call it as "golden memory".

In fact, I got the movie title after 6 years. During these year, I never stop my steps to find it and finally I got it.

At that time,the movie give me a impression that animation can be like this. It showed me another kind of world, real and hope full of sunshine. To such a little child, too many elements contained in this film. I've seen many movies in primary school, it is the only one still in my mind. Yes, to such a movie, I've devote in comparable love to it. That's one kind of incredible exchange between spirits. Furthermore, this movie changed my life. It confirm my style of enjoying movies and musics.

Even nowdays, the movie still transfer imagination to me constantly. I yearn towards sky and sometimes like a child. That's one wonderful experience that there always been something glitter in your heart.

2.Princess Mononoke
As a classical animation, the film should be listed in top ranks. And people waited for long time and they got "Princess Mononoke". There've been no doubt that it is a masterpiece. And Hayao Miyazaki got his peak in his director career. In addition, Joe Hisaishi's composed his one of his best film scores. And the cooperation of the two masters made this film one of the most successful one among Ghibli works.

Sometimes I think the plot in the movie is so complicated to judge. But one thing is clearly that each of friends put their thumbs up after seeing it. And they really got the movie theme. From this film, I started to learn the importance of our environment from my heart. And I came to know balance and harmony is the key that human being could live in the land together with other creatures.

The movie is a milestone which the simple relationship between good and evil like other common fairy tales. No one is outright evil, just like a real biosphere, any creature has its position in the world. They have right to survive. No life can live forever, when the balance was broken, even god would die. Of course, the movie describes multiple conflicts abound with humans against humans, humans against nature, and even nature against itself and it highlight the contradiction between mankind and nature. And it is the reality.

What impressed me deeply is the end of the film. When Ashitaka and San raised the head of the god, it reminded me the scene that Pazu and Sheeta extend their hands and say the spell. Instead the collapse of Laputa, the got release all the life it swallowed. It is an open end, everything came to the beginning. The director didn't give a clearly ending. But he gave us hope and light.


3.Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind
It's another princess, but not like anyone you read in the book or see in the film.
To me, it's the most moving film of Ghibli movies. And Nausicaa, the girl of the valley of wind become the perfect in my mind. Not for her beauty, but for her kind and innocent mind and i her strong-willed, confident, and full of spirit.

Certainly, as the first heroine, Nausicaa embodies almost every nice personality of a woman. And the movie has good performances to state it. It is she who made the balance between human and Ohmu, the giant insect. And she manage to protect her homeland from pollution.

There are two scenes in the movie I can never forget. One is the scene that young Nausicaa wander in the golden field and in the BGM the girl's humming lalala. I like the golden film colour and the comfortable atmosphere created by the slow flow of time. It's a pure scene that human fully into the nature. And it shows that even in such a brave girl's heart there's still something tender.

Another scene is in the end when the legend became true that Nausicaa revived ,wearing blue standing in a golden field and got way lead the human race to a pure land. With the superb music, everything came back to harmony. At that time I moved into tears like the grannies in the film. I admire such a great human being the girl who could give her life to maintain the bond between humanity and the earth.
Nausicaa is my favourite femail role.

PS: I love movies by Ghibli Studio, for these movies are suitable for everyone to enjoy, young kids and adult, they are for anyone have good hopes and aspirations to the world.
