The colors of ukiyo-e, the paper-style patterns, the unusual and appropriate editing, and the sound actors are enough to make the seemingly bizarre mononoke (also known as “Weird Cats”) a distinctive and memorable piece of non-mainstream work. However, what is rarer is that this animation is not satisfied with the short visual pleasure. Although the content is strange talk (that is, demon stories), behind the creation of limited horror atmosphere, or behind the destroyed things, we can see the hope of new life. Perhaps it is the gentleness of the creators that flows through this animation.
A compress boy: The so-called gentle, is the birth of life thanks.
This is my favorite story in mononoke.
You’d think this story would fall into a rut, because we know so many of them, even before jobs are mentioned. What are the grievances of children who were strangled before they were born? What is the destructive effect of fighting against the resentment of young people who cannot choose to be born in the cruel adult world?
But while my head was still churning with dark speculation, I heard “how gentle, how gentle”… Word after word of thanks; let my heart churned out a burst of moving, and guilty. Is it really the beginning of man, nature is good?
I used to think that women like the heroine in this story were stupid and naive. Now there is a sense of admiration. Because choosing the path of interdependence requires enough tenderness… And strong
Two Haiphong master: The so-called gentle, is unrequited love.
Aside from the cliché comparison and satire of many villains, the core of Haiphong Lord is actually a deformed unrequited love. When an innocent heart touches a heart eager for quick success, the former heart fearlessly paid, sank to the sea, calm the whole sea; Then one heart but fear, to survive in the world, attracting ghosts and monsters. The loveless heart cannot measure the lover’s heart, because it cannot understand that the lover’s heart only wants to make the other person happy, without considering itself.
Finally, however, the benevolent scriptwriter gives us this sentence: “But that’s me… I know the joy of being loved…” When the heart of 50 years of fear was finally removed and restored to the original pure heart, from that smile, we once again saw the hope of people.
Three no face: the so-called gentle, is to face their sincerity.
To live to satisfy the desires of others and to lose one’s own face is the end of being a “decent” wife. Telling myself that I was willing to be bound, but looking at the sky beyond the railings, I had a terrible idea…
But the so-called unbreakable prison does not exist. The rusty lock, in fact, as long as you are willing to open it, you will find that it has never been locked.
Finally, true to his name, flying out of prison, leaving behind everything, including false masks, including cold words. As long as you are true to yourself, it is enough.
Four nude: the so-called gentle, is in front of the desire.
The devil doesn’t exist in this world is from the heart, nude is a good example. People’s greed created it, people’s stupidity and nourishes it, so people will be their own greed and stupidity play, and even pays a heavy price. Behind the elegance, human naked desire, like the spread of toxic aroma, and finally let people suffocate themselves.
Oh, it’s just a rotten piece of wood. See, at last the snow flies down and washes away all the illusion.
Five cats: The so-called gentle, is to stand in the perspective of others.
This is the scariest story of the five, and the most common. In short, a revenge story when both witnesses and criminals committed “suicide” for their own reasons, they were accused of retrial.
What I like is that in the end, the people who accuse each other come together to send their blessings to the dead and show a gentle smile. The so-called gentle, originally should be standing in the perspective of others to consider others. The same principle applies to the above story, if we can be more considerate, maybe people will not be so lonely, also not so obsessed.
Finally, we saw the side face of the medicine dealer, which had always been cold and a gentle smile appeared…
