Putting aside the image of Chihiro, the style of painting presented by this anime has already made many anime fans relax and start to enjoy it quietly.
Suddenly, Qianxun's father's car stopped on a forest road. Although he didn't know the road, the car still drove forward until it reached a strange and mysterious tunnel.
The audience didn't realize there was anything unusual about this tunnel. After all, the movie had just begun, and some fans hadn't even sat down yet. In addition, the trailer did not reveal any information about the plot, but when Qianxun and her parents... After walking through the tunnel together, exclamations rang out one after another in major theaters:
"Wow!!"
"Wow!"
"Good looking!"
"What is this place?"
……
In the picture on the screen, waves of grass are constantly blowing in the wind, almost connected to the sky.
Several dilapidated houses are scattered around, and a dry river runs through it. The audience can clearly feel the beautiful air even with the screen resting on it, presenting an extremely beautiful visual picture.
Among old anime fans, a large part of them are fans of good pictures. If the pictures presented in the previous animation movies are shocking, then the picture of "Spirited Away" brings the viewing experience to the fans. enjoy!
Unparalleled enjoyment.
"It's exactly what I thought, this is a theme park!"
"Can't be wrong."
Chihiro's father confidently judged and walked towards the seemingly abandoned "theme park" or "theme town". While talking and laughing, there was a fragrance in the air, which was the fragrance of things.
"Maybe it's still open for business."
Chihiro's father smiled like this.
Not only Qianxun's father thought this way, but all the viewers thought this way.
The plot of "The Old Thief" is as unpredictable as ever. Unexpectedly, from the beginning of the movie, it has entered a stage unknown to the audience.
The town was deserted. Qianxun's family of three searched along the scent and finally found the source of the scent. It was a stall without a stall owner.
"It's okay, just wait until someone comes and pay."
"That's right."
After that, Qianxun's parents started to feast, but Qianxun was very dissatisfied and felt that it was rude for her parents to be such a glutton.
At the same time, the soundtrack of the film suddenly became fast, which sounded inexplicably eerie. Coupled with the appearance of Qianxun's parents feasting and overeating, it was a little scary for adults.
“It’s not a horror anime, right?”
Many movie fans swallowed their saliva and thought this way.
But thinking about it, the old thief and Lin Qiu should not be in this hell.
From the moment she entered this world, Qianxun felt a little uneasy. At the end of the street were steps. Going up the steps, there was a tall soup house. The chimneys around the soup house were smoking and the windows were rustling. It looked like someone was there.
Qianxun was wandering alone on the bridge of the soup house. When he turned around, he saw a young man in white who was surprised. He looked at Qianxun eagerly and said:
"You can't come here! Go back quickly!"
"It's going to get dark soon! Go back before it gets dark!"
As he said that, the lamp in the soup house behind the boy was lit. Seeing this, the boy quickly pushed Qianxun away, saying continuously: "The lamp is already lit, hurry up, I will buy time!"
……
"What's going on?"
"It's not really a horror movie, is it?"
"A little scared, 嘤嘤嘤..."
"Go away, you old man, get away!"
Everyone in the theater was attracted by this sudden plot. In the past, the rhythm of the plot of "Old Thief" was always not fast at the beginning, but "Spirited Away" can be said to be full of suspense.
What surprised movie fans even more was this. When Chihiro returned to the previous restaurant, where could she see her parents?
Instead, there were two pigs! !
Two pigs with fat heads and big ears, eating like crazy!
"Holy crap! What's going on?"
"Chihiro's parents turned into pigs?"
"I'm going...the old thief's wild imagination...is here again."
"This town is so weird..."
"A little fluffy."
"Afraid! Mom is afraid!"
As the movie atmosphere enveloped the theater, there were already fearful looks on the faces of movie fans in the entire theater. Some people leaned their heads sideways, squinted their eyes, and cautiously looked at the big screen.
As night falls, many ghost-like people suddenly appear on the streets of this weird town. They are all black, erratic, seemingly incorporeal, like shadows.
“It can’t really be a horror movie!”
While the audience was thinking this, Qianxun ran around and shouted in horror:
"Dad!"
"Mom!"
Chihiro couldn't imagine that the two pigs just now were her parents, and thought that everything she was experiencing now was a big dream, so she ran with all her strength towards the tunnel where they came from!
But what surprised Qianxun and shocked thousands of Kyushu movie fans was...
changed.
Everything has changed.
The originally dry stream became gurgling, and the tunnel that was so dilapidated that my father thought it was from the last century was now brightly lit. It was obvious that the world behind the tunnel was a magical world.
This gorgeous and weird scene left movie fans stunned. I have to say that the imagination of the old thief's works is really rich!
Under the shocked eyes of the audience and Qianxun, a brightly lit luxury ship slowly approached. After docking, groups of masked weirdos got off the ship, which looked like a hundred ghosts walking in the night!
In Qianxun's eyes, these imaginative scenes were like a nightmare that would never wake up. Chihiro, who was in a panic, ran desperately, hoping to wake up from this nightmare!
But no matter how Chihiro shouted hysterically and called her parents, it didn't help!
At this point in the plot, fans actually have a general understanding of this "Spirited Away". It is most likely Chihiro's adventure in this magical world. Judging from the style of those masked monsters, it should not be too similar to horror movies. Big relationship.
Just when Qianxun was helpless, a familiar figure came to Qianxun's side again.
"It's the boy in white!"
"You should be able to learn some of the secrets of this world from this young man in white."
"Holy crap? Why is Qianxun's body so unreal..."
"It's so transparent, damn it."......
"Don't be afraid! I'm here to help you."
"Come on, eat this quickly. If you don't eat the food of this world, you will disappear."
The young man squatted beside Qianxun and said this.
After Chihiro ate the food handed over by the boy, he did not turn into a pig, but his body gradually returned to normal, which also made movie fans relieved. They were worried that the boy was bad and wanted to harm Chihiro. After all, the old thief "is not a human being" "The image has been deeply imprinted in the minds of the audience and cannot be shaken.
In Lao Zei's works, no plot is surprising, even if the protagonist is changed midway.
Qianxun's parents have actually turned into pigs, so the boy can only take Qianxun back to the soup house to settle down. On the way back to the soup house, there is a bridge, which is the bridge where the boy and Qianxun met before.
The boy gave Qianxun the magic to hide his breath and told Qianxun not to breathe when crossing the bridge.
Just as Qianxun was holding her breath and concentrating, carefully preparing to cross the bridge, all the movie theaters were equally quiet, holding her breath and concentrating, for fear of making the slightest sound.
If there is a barrage, it will definitely be posted at this time: "Reminder from the front row, you can breathe." Such words.
But just when Qianxun was about to cross the bridge, a frog suddenly came to greet the boy. Qianxun was startled and opened his mouth subconsciously. The hearts of the audience were also grabbed in an instant!
Fortunately, the young man reacted too quickly, with sparks and lightning all the way, and managed to forcefully break in with Qianxun.
"Huh..."
“It’s so exciting!”
Unknowingly, the plot of "Spirited Away" has deeply attracted thousands of movie fans, regardless of whether they are adults or children.
The children in the cinema looked more attentive than each other, feeling like they were in this magical world.
The boy was called "Mr. Bai" and told Qianxun that he was going to find Grandpa Boiler and Granny Yu. In this world, one must get a job in order not to be transformed into something else by magic.
No matter how difficult it is, you will stay shamelessly.
Before we parted, the young man said to Qianxun, "I've known you since you were a child."
"My name is..."
"White Dragon."
……
"Holy shit?"
"An old thief is still an old thief, brilliant!"
"Baba Yu is a witch, so what is White Dragon? A god?"
"Hakuryuu actually said he knew Qianxun? What's going on?"
The work of an old thief focuses on some plots that are unpredictable and full of suspense.
Usually as soon as a problem is solved, the next question comes, and through these plots, the world view is unfolded step by step.
After Bailong left, Qianxun followed Bailong's words and searched for the boiler room step by step. Although there were still twists and turns in the process, there were still no dangers.
The so-called boiler room is a place that supplies medicinal food and bath water. The boiler grandpa is the supervisor here. On the surface, he looks like an ordinary human grandfather, but he has six arms that can be retracted at will, which is very convenient for removing from the huge medicinal cabinet. Obtaining medicinal materials and working also reflect the differences in this world.
Qian Xun found Grandpa Boiler and asked to stay and work here. As expected, Grandpa Boiler refused.
But then, Qianxun's kindness still impressed Grandpa Boiler, so he asked his granddaughter Xiaoling to take Qianxun to Granny Yu's place.
"This world is so interesting."
"Wonderful fantasy world!"
"A world of monsters?"
On the way to Yubaba, thousands of movie fans saw many strange but cute species in this world, including flocks of ducks, super white carrots, giant toads...
Anyway, there are all kinds of creatures, is it more like a world of monsters?
At this time, Qianxun couldn't help but feel fear when seeing these strange-looking people.
Passing through one floor after another, Qianxun followed Xiaoling to the gorgeous residence of Granny Yu. As soon as the door opened, Qianxun was sucked in by a force and met the legendary Granny Yu!
The appearance of this Yubaba is completely different from the appearance of the kind old lady in all anime. She is covered in jewels, her face is full of wrinkles, and her expression is terrifying.
"Probably greedy for money."
"Generally this kind of image setting makes sense."
Many viewers who were familiar with the old thief muttered silently that the fact was just as they expected. This Granny Yu was the director of the "soup house" and the manager of the town. She was a villain who was feared by everyone and had powerful powers.
He has a cruel personality and is greedy for money. He orders everyone who does not work to turn into pigs and be eaten!
The audience also knew from Yubaba's words that this is a place for bathing for various gods. Once humans come here, they should not think about going back. Just like Chihiro's parents, they eat and prepare food for the gods. The things directly turned into pigs.
But Qianxun kept Bailong's words in mind. No matter what Yubaba said, he just wanted to stay here and get a job. Coincidentally, Qianxun was lucky enough to get this job when Yubaba was worried about taking care of her children. Odd jobs!
And as Yubaba cast her magical spell, Qianxun suddenly couldn't remember her real name, only remembering that she was called "Xiaoqian".
The story of "Spirited Away" unfolds slowly like this.
……
In the theater, the fans were very attentive.
Even though Chihiro is only a child of about 10 years old, they don't feel naive at all. Instead, they feel that the pictures, soundtrack, and story of "Spirited Away" are really beautiful.
The pressure from the real world that was burdened on them disappeared without a trace five minutes after the movie was played. They smiled, forgot all their worries, and enjoyed this magical world full of gods.
This may be the greatest meaning of animation.
With Bailong's help, Qianxun settled down for the time being, but the next day, Bailong took Qianxun to the pig pen to see that she had turned into a pig, and she fell asleep soundly, completely forgetting whose father she was. When she was a mother, Qianxun still collapsed and ran out crying all the way!
For a 10-year-old child, everything in front of him is really unbearable.
When the old thief portrayed Qianxun, he did not portray Qianxun as a "traditional protagonist", but as an ordinary little girl next door. The characteristics of ordinary girls can be found in Qianxun. Found it.
I don’t know why, but maybe it’s because of this girl-next-door affinity that thousands of movie fans feel that this anime movie has an inexplicable sense of reality, rather than the illusion that it looks like a two-dimensional paper man at first glance.
The bright sunshine makes the tone of the entire anime quite warm. In this way, even if Chihiro is in trouble, fans can still enjoy the plot smoothly.
Qianxun cried, and Xiaobai accompanied her.
I don't know why, just this picture makes everyone smile involuntarily.
This is the charm of "Spirited Away".
