The 13-year-old little witch, Kiki, took her black cat Jiji and a radio to set off on a broom on a sunny night with a full moon to find her town. Kiki, who dreams of dreams, chose a city near the sea. She enjoyed the horror of the citizens from the sky, and then came the warnings of the traffic police and the indifference of people. One day is about to pass, and even the place where it is settled becomes a problem. Kiki begins to doubt herself - what can be done except the witch who can fly nothing? At this time she met a warm and kind bakery owner, got a small attic, and started her business - flight courier. Kiki experienced the ups and downs of growing up in her work, and she was never tired, but one day she suddenly lost her magic and couldn’t fly anymore. Even the little black cat Jiji from the small intimacy couldn’t understand. Kiki, who is in desperate circumstances, will be depressed. Under the guidance of independent and strong friend Osina, Kiki found a willingness to persevere - even if she lost her magic, she would have to live well - with this attitude, Kiki finally grew up. In the end, although the magic was restored, he could no longer speak with Jiji.
Telling such a dull story requires proper arrangement of the ups and downs of the plot. The "Witch" is doing very well - the wind and rain on the flight, the subtle minds of the girl, the shackles in the forest, the separation between the grandparents and grandchildren... the most praiseworthy It’s the stage of Jiji’s guest toy cat. Every expression of the little black cat shows the psychological activity very well. And the aging dog is really amazing. When Kiki holds it, thank you. At the time, I can evoke a smile that people will know.
In "Witch", you can't find a bad person. The little witch Kiki faces only the storm that grows on the road. I appreciate the comment of a citizen - "The storm in life is the weather forecast of the radio." Unpredictable, the witch is not omnipotent. The coldness of the world is definitely more irresistible than the cold weather." I like Osna’s words to tell Kiki—"When I can’t paint anymore, nothing Painting, going out for a walk, drinking tea, doing something else or doing nothing. One day, there will be more ideas for painting. "I hope everyone who is going to start can see this movie once, and your way will be In the face of hurricane and cold rain, you are willing to keep your own state. If you can't, then let go of your troubles and wait for the inspiration to appear. ?
In the end, I would like to talk about Jiji and Kiki. Jiji and Lily gave birth to a litter of kittens and stopped talking to Kiki. This made the audience of countless "Witches" regret. Some people say that because Jiji is a lighthearted friend, some people say that because Kiki’s magic has not fully recovered, in my opinion, this arrangement of Miyazaki is more like a kind of price for growth. Growth must be abandoned. Things, like growing up, we are no longer innocent, no longer carefree, no endless fantasies, no more intimate playmates. ?
Gigi is no longer talking to Kiki because Kiki loses his mana, but because they have grown up and have their own new life, the rest should be blessing each other, not each other. It is said that the book explains this: a little witch and a black cat grow up together, so they can talk to each other. They can communicate not because of the magic itself, but because they are so intimate. According to Hayao Miyazaki's design, Kiki finally restored her mana, and Jiji still couldn't talk to her - because Kiki really grew up, she no longer needed the "other self." Hayao Miyazaki said: "The most important thing for Kiki is whether she can face all kinds of people independently. As long as she rides her broom on the broom and flies in the sky, she can be free. But live in a city, training means no more brooms, no more Gigi, she has to walk alone on the road of the city, she must talk to people. Kiki and Jiji can build a new personality independent Relationships. They are still friends, but new elements have been added to this relationship (such as Lily, and the children of Jiji)
Thinking of the last scene of Jiji and Kiki - Kiki said to the little black cat on the shoulder: "Gigi, can you hear what I said?"Kiki is As if I understood something, I leaned back on Jiji and looked into the distance.
