      Yunbi-your voice

      The picture is even more beautiful! Makoto Shinkai's first feature-length theatrical work, it is hard to imagine how delicate he handles the picture~ :)

        The heat wave on the road in summer, the cold breath exhaled when skating in winter, the cold air in the train The sun shines into the car from the window, changing patterns on the floor, and the light spots flow along the smooth metal wire of the roof...

        Clouds, wind, mysterious towers in the distance,...

      Your temples, the sky and the cloud this melting world

      The first time I watched this film was because [Second 5], like many others, of
         course I had to admit that this film was just as gorgeous.
       At the same time, I also watched Uncle Gong's "The Girl Who Traveled Through Time and Space". I was very reluctant to compare them
         , but I had to admit that it would take a long process for Makoto Shinkai to surpass this peak.
        At least in terms of ideas.
        
           Makoto Shinkai's works are shrouded in a thick gray tone,...

      A Review of Xinhai City's Works of Light and Shadow Fleeting Years 2 - "The Other Side of the Cloud, the Promised Place"

      This work after "The Voice of the Stars" has not been highly praised in China, and Xinhaicheng continued to continue his faint sadness and peace. When I was a sophomore, I started watching it at one o'clock in the morning in the dormitory. Stories like this kind of music only existed in the late night when no one was disturbing. The length of an hour and a half also seems to be in the taste of a cup of aromatic coffee, the flavor is excellent. Personally, I think this kind of film is only...

      As I study, I find that I don't want to believe it anymore

      The author's style is really from the beginning. The opening monologue of the train is
      dazzling and gentle, the light is beautiful, and the scenery is unreal. The sky at 10 o'clock in the
      summer morning and the sky at dusk
      seem to be the characters who appear only to not become a scenery film.
      In fact, the plot is so bloody that it looks like a parallel universe, hehe
      , the girl who has been dreaming reunites with the boy she has been worrying about in her dream
      is...

      none

      Makoto Shinkai is lonely,
      and then he used loneliness to complete this one-hour light and shadow story
      . Only lonely people can portray every little detail so finely, isn't it?
      The carvings on the floor follow the umbrellas in the rainwater carriage. The changing light and shadow and the silent classroom in the setting sun

      We have all spent ten minutes between classes lying on the table and writing small emotions We
      have all the green years when all eyes are only...

      Sleeping in endless dreams, the youthful time with them is tender and tender. At this moment, the separated boy, walking in the lonely city, was swallowed by the powerful loneliness. At the moment when time and space staggered and touched the middle finger, all the darkness lost its sound and began to be surrounded by light. Use the waiting time of rubbing shoulders, and replace it with "welcome back". The light in the clouds, will it be the appearance of...

      ★★ For Shinkai Makoto, I am powerless to love. This kind of movie is the favorite of little children who pretend to be B, young Wenqing and teenagers who don't know the taste of...

    This work has a gentle and low-key plot on the outside. Even if time goes by, it is necessary to fulfill the promise made when you are young. This potential theme is the same as "ほしのこえ". Although this work is set in a parallel universe instead of a mobile phone, it is actually It is the extended version of "ほしのこえ".
    In addition, in this work, Xin Haicheng avoids using too many action scenes, but instead expresses the scenes and...
