村上隆さんのインスタグラム写真 - (村上隆Instagram)「No.4 I thought "The Boy and the Heron" was the very essence of art, residing right in the middle of art. Therefore, the film may be extremely enjoyable for elderly people, for example those who go to museums to see Japanese historical art. Old people, with their accumulated culture and experiences, fly through time and space by learning about history, and gradually become free. Of course, this film has implications for young people as well, but once again, for seniors over 60, it is a good idea to go out for two hours to sit in an air-conditioned theater, as you would go to a museum, with the intension of seeing one of the best of Japanese art from the Showa to Reiwa. 2) After realizing that the cover of the book, Wind Sound of the Times, might be part of the image boards and a major theme for the film, I also noted that "The Boy and the Heron” is Hayao Miyazaki's version of Saka no ue no kumo (Clouds above the Hill)l, a book written by Ryotaro Shiba. ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ When I saw the scene with Noah's Ark with Böcklin's “Island of the Death” on it, I realized, "Oh! This looks familiar! Is this the image Hayao-san used as the cover of the art book of his conversation with Ryotaro Shiba and Yoshie Hotta 26 years ago?” That cover image depicted a wooden battleship with two cannons facing the viewer and the flags of all nations fluttering on its mast, heading toward us in a storm. It came out looking like a portrayal of Japan during the economic bubble. And the ark in "The Boy and the Heron” is what it would look like after completing its voyage, and, wow, that's where Kiriko lives.... While Saka no ue no kumo tells the story of the Russo-Japanese War up to the defeat of the Baltic Fleet (I only have an impression of the NHK version...), "The Boy and the Heron" is a story told in children's literature style that covers the period from before the Pacific War, during the war, after the war, and up to the present day.」9月11日 6時43分
