A
He is both a great director and a great animator (卡通片制作者). He is
Japan’s Walt Disney.
Hayao Miyazaki, the 72-year-old Japanese master of fantasy animation (奇幻动画), one of the most respected animation directors in the world, announced his
retirement on September 6. Here are some key words about his films.
Good and evil (邪恶)
Miyazaki rarely tells stories in simple good and evil. The worlds he creates
tend to be complex (复杂的) and unclear. The bad figures often don’t seem so bad
once you get to know them. Miyazaki has explained that the lack of clear good and
evil is because he sees the 21st century as a complex time, in which old ideas need
to be re-examined, even in children’s films.
Children
The heroes in Miyazaki’s films are usually children or teens, more often young
girls. Sometimes they can see the spirit world; they are curious and friendly, even
to strange creatures. The stories often deal with growing up.
Sky and water
Two of Miyazaki’s great loves are the sky and water, and he uses them in related
ways. Flight is a forever theme — Miyazaki has never done a film without flying
of some kind. His imagination seems to fly and leave behind the pull of gravity (重力), a force and control that he feels a bound (束缚) from setting him free.
Water is another way for Miyazaki to fight gravity. In his films he likes the
unexpected floods with crystal-clear water, and objects floating on the surface seem to be supported by magic.
Peace
Miyazaki’s negative view of the war goes far more than surface deep. Violence
is usually seen as wrong and painful, and Miyazaki’s heroes are often peacemakers.
1. What can we know about good and evil from Miyazaki’s films?
A. The figures cannot be simply judged as good or evil.
B. He uses his films to show good finally defeats evil.
C. The complex time tends to turn good into evil.
D. Children should learn to clearly tell good from evil.
2. According to the article, children in Miyazaki’s films are ______.
A. all little teen-aged girls B. always able to see spirits
C. curious trouble makers D. kind to people and creatures
3. Miyazaki’s love for flight may come from ______.
A. the relation between sky and water
B. his hate for gravity since his childhood
C. his desire to be free from gravity
D. his love for water that can flood the world
4. In Miyazaki’s films we may NOT see ______.
A. the appealing castle in the sky
B. children with the problems of growing up
C. objects magically floating on the water
D. a world left in ruins in the end
B
A few months after we moved to a small city in France, I wanted to meet my husband
for lunch at the university where he worked. I got lost. I had to call him for help.
One of his friends said to him later, “How could she get lost? She just needed to
go straight.”
Well, no. That’s the problem. You never “just go straight”, because France
is the land of roundabouts (弯道). Highways, major streets, little village lanes
