memory

One day in mid-April last year, I was sitting on the Shinkansen going to Tokyo to meet a Japanese boy I liked at the time. It was still a little cold in April in the early spring. I wore a denim skirt that went above the knees, and I bought new colored canvas shoes. For the first time, I did light makeup. I walked through the mist in the morning and bought a seaweed rice ball at the station. Canned hot coffee, set off from Kyoto. I listened to the song and looked at the houses, rivers and Mount Fuji that passed by, and my heart was disturbed. When I got out of the station, he was already waiting for me at the station. I recognized him at a glance, and when he saw me, he smiled and said that I seem to have changed. We had two days, he took me through Sensoji Temple, Shinjuku, Harajuku, Ueno Park, Omotesando, Tokyo Tower, Sky Tree, Roppongi, Akihabara, Ginza... Had sushi, grilled beef tongue and his neighborhood was good The set meal set meal I ate... I sat on the subway one after another, feeling the freshness, panic, curiosity, envy, amazement, and the heartbeat of the people I liked being around me from an international metropolis like Tokyo. I remember in the movie, Mitsuha came out of Taki’s house for the first time and saw the ecstasy in Tokyo’s high-rise buildings, the excitement of taking pictures of the cake, the exhaustion of being caught in the crowd of the commuter tram, and the ecstasy of the guests from the part-time work place. The panic that she didn't know how to deal with the blame, and the anxiety and anticipation she felt when she was determined to meet Taki, everything was as real as experiencing it again. Saving the town in the second half of the movie can be said to be a prominent part of the plot. The excellent soundtrack pushes the story to a climax. Yotsuba and Taki finally meet, shout each other's names, and then lose their memory. Until the end of the movie, Mitsuha and Taki did not forget each other buried deep in their memories. They were lucky to meet each other, and it must be a happy ending in the future. In addition to the exquisite pictures, Makoto Shinkai's work brings people beyond the throbbing of a girl, but also the inextinguishable enthusiasm in his heart when he grows up and matures, insists on his dreams, and is persistent in his original intention. In my opinion, it is better than his previous works. Human memory is not something that can be easily lost. When the story takes place, your body will be deeply engraved before the brain, and then reawakened at a certain node in the future, then you will find that no matter how long it is, this memory will always be fresh and bright. At that time, you must have been able to ask each other with a generous smile, "お元気ですか."
