Popularity ≠ masterpiece

1. This film must be watched on the big screen! The richness of details in the film's painting is shocking, and the rhythm of light and shadow achieves an aesthetic that cannot be matched by a live-action film. I was stunned by several time-lapse photography, which I couldn't understand when I watched it on a small screen.

2. The male and female protagonists use their mobile phones every day but can't see the year. This bug is too big to ignore like other small bugs. The diary is erased, at least it can be explained by miracles. Carelessly cover up.

3. This film is indeed the one with the best story and the most three-dimensional characters in Makoto Shinkai's works. He finally got rid of the dilemma of only prose-style lyricism, unable to tell the plot rhythmically, and the characters are so thin that they have no character.

4. The character of "Your Name." is Masaka Tanaka of "Unknown Flower Name", and the director of the painting is Yaji Ando, ​​who participated in "Spirited Away", who saved Makoto Shinkai's previous works. Much embarrassment.

5. The storytelling of the film is very strong. Although a large montage of the male protagonist after drinking and chewing wine is not new, the effect shocked me. At the same time, it also promotes the plot and strengthens the characterization.

6. The soundtrack of the film is also very strong, especially the BGM with the signature sensational editing, a few "MV" can easily lift the audience's emotions, and the effect is excellent.

7. The rhythm of the comedy part in the first half is better than the tragic part in the second half, and the rhythm drops sharply from the start of taking grandma up the mountain.

8. I like the recurring ultra-low-angle opening shot transitions in the film, which I have never seen before.

9. At the end, the two protagonists are too close to the name or close to each other but pass each other too many times, and some of them are too deliberate. For example, the heroine's name disappears in half, which is far inferior to the "I like you" in the palm of the back. Comes cleverly.

11. The ability of the miracle is completely determined according to the needs of the plot. For example, the male protagonist remembered the encounter with the female protagonist on the train in front of him, but then he forgot the real memory when he did not exchange bodies. It may be that God deliberately Try them both!

10. "Your name." Not bad, but still far from a masterpiece. There is no deep theme, there is not enough artistic value, there is no complete and unprecedented world, but there are bugs that cannot be ignored, all of which make it stay at the level that can only bring temporary emotional fluctuations to the audience. And the level of sales should never be the proof of the level of a movie.

11. I only gave this film three stars for the pirated version of the scumbag quality. I went to the cinema to make up for the ticket. After watching it, I was pleasantly surprised and entertained, so I slapped myself with half a star. Movies belong to the screen, and that is absolutely true.

12. I thought carefully about the reasons why this film is so popular: First, it must be that the Japanese market prefers animated films; second, in recent years, there are not many commercial films in Japan that meet the tastes of the majority of the people; third, from the analysis of group psychology, Japan naturally Disasters occur frequently, and people's subconscious sense of insecurity has led to a great demand for "Your Name." This kind of film that romanticizes natural disasters. Of course, the above is just speculation, and different opinions are welcome.

PS This video should make people in long distance relationships feel a lot.
