Your name travels through time and space

"Your Name", the biggest feeling after watching it is that Brother Cheng is still the same Brother Cheng. Iconic elements such as urban street scenes with blurred boundaries with reality, overlapping changes of light and shadow, and gorgeous Yunshu Yunjuan are still displayed the most in this film, which infinitely fits the soothing and remoteness of the characters' hearts. Different from showing the conflict of love from reality before, this story is based on time. Through the interlaced depiction of multiple time and space, supplemented by the narrative depiction of traditional Japanese culture, it tells a huge and delicate story. A love story across time and space. The first half of the film presents the absurdity of swapping bodies in a witty way. Mitsuha, a girl who has infinite longing for Tokyo but is helpless trapped in the countryside, and Taki Taki, a rebellious boy who lives in Tokyo but is wary. Wonderful life, the promises made with each other are not kept by the other party, which leads to embarrassment and conflict caused by the disharmony between the soul and the body. Mitsuha's soul is parasitic on Taki's body, and the girl's natural dexterity makes Ossen-senpai admire Taki, and gradually closes the relationship between the two, and facilitates the first date between Taki and Ossen-senpai. While Taki privately abused Mitsuha's body as a host in the deep mountains to fight for his injustice, the seemingly impulsive and irritable boy's heart was moved when he sacrificed to the gods. The narrative perspective of the first half mainly revolves around Sanye. In the monotonous but exciting exchange of life day after day, the girl's naturally delicate and sensitive nerves are used to imply the slow warming of the relationship between the two. Before heading to Tokyo, Mitsuha said everything in front of the mirror with unidentified tears. When she first set foot in Tokyo with Mitsuha's body and realized that the two met for the first time, facing Taki's stranger, she was extremely frustrated, and at the same time, the enchantment between the two was officially formed by the red ribbon. At this time, Brother Cheng's big game of chess began to emerge. The audience understands at this time that the two were originally in different time dimensions, and such time is not a pure relationship between the past and the present: Taki's time is normally forward and linearly extended, while Mitsuha's time is scattered Without chapters, it was established on the basis of "now". Therefore, we can see Taki entering the time tunnel as a real person and tampering with history later. The theme of "knot" runs through the film all the time. Taki's bracelet and Mitsuha's headband are all woven from knots. As said in the film, the "knot" is the work of God, and in the form of one head leading the other, it also symbolizes the fetters of the two people connected by the knot rope. And "knot" is the embodiment of the flow of time,"

At this time, the fragmentation time mentioned above has been confirmed here. Taki enters Mitsuha's body again and tries to save the town by himself, which contradicts "history that happened before". In "Last History", Mitsuha died while wearing a kimono while watching meteors on the hillside, but in "This Time History", she and her friends tried to create riots against the public. The meeting between the two on the top of the mountain should be the most romantic segment in the film, and this has already been foreshadowed in the previous teacher's "who is the etymology of dusk, and can see inhuman things at this time". . And Xin Haicheng's handling of the ending is obviously much gentler this time. Unlike the passing by in "Five Centimeters Per Second", the two meet again on the tram that they missed on the track, and then try their best to make the encounter, but they are shy and reserved in front of the stairs and overwhelmed. There is a full sense of substitution of reality, and the audience will burst into tears when they are anxious for them. In the interview, Brother Cheng also said that this is a warm story, and took this as a message that all lonely souls can find true love. This time, Brother Cheng's big game in "Your Name" actually appeared in his previous works. The protagonist always makes initial contact by phone, followed by a long-distance meeting. "Five Centimeters Per Second" has a saying, "The falling speed of cherry blossoms is about five centimeters per second". There are too many things that can be changed in the passage of one minute and one second. The meeting of boys and girls is blocked by the whistling tram, and the throbbing of youth is also Then it slowly turned into helplessness. In "Your Name", the falling of the meteor seems to be practicing the agreement that the cherry blossoms are five centimeters per second, and the destruction also has a sense of aestheticism. The connection between Mitsuha and Taki is closer than the two in "Five Centimeters Per Second". They are familiar with the intimacy of each other's bodies. Working hard in the name of the king is like grasping the motivation of life-saving straws. Even if they fall, they don't want to forget it. The original intention is still no match for the eyes of time. Fortunately, the telepathy of the red ribbon has a kind of original power like the umbilical cord, so that the two people who met for a short time can die peacefully. In addition, the theme song, interlude and ending song in the film are really warm, everyone can listen to it, just reminisce carefully, it will inadvertently evoke the hidden thoughts of the once young Xiaobao-kun, um... ready list The song loops, that's it~
