It can be said that humans and hominins are similar but also dissimilar. The relationship between the two is complex yet simple - hominins rely on humans, while humans rely on nature.
I'm glad to have found an article like this, and sad that it took so long for me to see it.
The following is my humble opinion.
Arrietty's family "borrowed" in the owner's house without the owner's knowledge. As the article says, "In fact, the "borrowing" of small humans is stealing from a human perspective." Although the amount they took is not worth mentioning, stealing is stealing, which is an irrefutable fact. Arrietty's father adheres to the principle of not "borrowing" valuable things, and teaches his children this way, but it is undeniable that the borrowing people are in an environment with lack of supervision. As time goes by, they are passed down from generation to generation. If any borrowing villain fails to do it and wants to "borrow" valuable and valuable things, then how innocent are the humans living in the house?
Take a closer look at the decorative items in Arrietty's house, including bullet casings, buttons, small glass bottles, safety pins, pins, etc. Although these things are not valuable, for children, these are also childhood treasures. I remember when I was a kid, these were my precious treasures. So the little borrower chose a house in the countryside where an old man lived alone. It was old, had a regular life, and had no children. If Xiang hadn't appeared, they would have continued to exist like this.
So what did Xiang do wrong?
Because of his illness, he went to his aunt's house in the suburbs to recuperate. He couldn't sleep at night and did not disturb anyone. He just lay in bed and saw the villains who came to borrow things, which "disturbed" their lives. He gave sugar cubes to the villains out of kindness, and was secretly criticized and complained. Although he had a condescending and compassionate attitude, but who caused this condescension?
It's the little people themselves.
They depend on humans for survival and live by stealing and picking up human supplies. They also want humans to respect them, understand them, and not disturb them. Do humans owe them anything?
If the savage boy Spiller made such a request, it would be okay, because he belongs to an outdoor tribe and has always relied on hunting bugs and collecting plants to survive. They rely on themselves and it is understandable to demand respect for peace and equality. However, those little humans who live indoors rely on humans and at the same time be wary of humans. They also want humans to respect them as an independent tribe. This is so unfair to humans.
When you depend on others for survival, your dignity has been handed over.
I like the saying that you can see whatever you want to see. The works of masters are just mirrors that reflect the entire world from one angle, and then we see the world we can see.
Deep into my heart (Moved QAQ)
I think Lietti's home is very beautiful, and it is the scene that resonates most deeply with me. Ah! ! ! ! , I don't know how to put it~, I like to read its derivatives, but I don't like the love stories the most. I like to see other people living there as villains.
Come on QAQ!
