I'm just an ordinary person who will forget, I won't remember to ask your name

Yesterday, I went to see the recent "Internet celebrity" movie "Your Name", which can be regarded as making up for the movie tickets that I have always owed to Makoto Shinkai. Perhaps because the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment, I feel that there is still a certain distance between this film and the reputation of "a masterpiece". The stories inside the movie don't need to be said, but outside the movie, there are some stories that have to be told. 1. Regarding memories, I will watch Makoto Shinkai because of the recommendation of my high school classmate. A big boy who likes to play basketball, with his pink mp4, took me to watch most of Makoto Shinkai's movies at that time during class time. I can't remember the plots of those movies, but there are only two pictures that are imprinted in my heart, one is the classic scene of "Five Centimeters Per Second", and the other is the scene of flying with a plane in "Beyond the Clouds". In fact, the two of us watched a lot of movies during class time, but Makoto Shinkai was the only one who recommended him to me, so this has become an exclusive memory of him. Whenever Makoto Shinkai is mentioned, I will think of him. There may be a very strange fate at the same table. We magically got the same score in the final college entrance examination. However, he went to read finance, and I read mechanics. Since then, we have not seen each other once a year. Some people just become memories like this, and even slowly fade out of your memories. 2. A very important concept in the movie about dreams is "dream". Two people who have exchanged their lives with each other will forget each other like a dream, which is why such a story is drawn. I sometimes confuse dreams with reality and go after the memories in my dreams. The first time was when I was in elementary school. Maybe I saw a favorite dress in the window of a shopping mall in my dream. Yes, I can only say maybe, because I still can’t tell whether it happened in a dream or real. happened. Only later I went to that store to ask about the dress, but the owner said that there was never any such item. Another time was recently, a place always popped up in my mind. There was a small river crossing the city. There was a building with about four or five stories next to it, and the shop downstairs was still being renovated. But the arcade on the top floor was already flashing with neon lights. It was about evening. I got lost and turned back halfway there. But I've never been to a place like that, never. Because it happens all the time, I often wonder if my memories are forgotten or if they don't exist at all. Taki and Mitsuha probably encountered such troubles often. 3. Another important setting in time and space movies is time. The development of today's world is enough for people to come to each other through geographical restrictions, but time is still an unsolved issue. I am on the journey There is often a kind of regret that you are born and I have not been born. When you step on the ruins and look at the fallen leaves, the saddest thing is not that you can't see a certain beauty, but that you know it exists, but it exists. There will never be you. Time is a cruel medicine. If the comet hadn't come that night, Taki and Mitsuha would have been just passersby in the crowd. But time does not allow them to pass through the barriers and come to each other. 4. I am just an ordinary person who will forget. I have to say that "Your Name" is a movie full of ritual and fate. Drinking wine and knotting ropes, comets flying from the sky, two worlds connected by the precipitation of emotions in time, you have me and I have your two souls. Every thing is a traction. Tokyo is the most populous city in the world. People drag their tired bodies to get off work every day on the way to and from work. Compatible people? How many stories in our life can be called adventures? Which of the few can start well rather than die without a hitch? I am just an ordinary person who will forget, I have never met an opportunity to ask your name back, but time still passes, life is incomplete and beautiful.
