"The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" is an animated film produced by the Japanese animation company Mad House. The animations produced by this company include "Cardcaptor Sakura", "Death Note", "Parasitic Beast: The Rule of Life", "One Punch Man", etc., which are all popular works. The animated film "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" to be introduced this time is adapted from a novel published by Yasuo Jianchuan in 1967 and directed by Mamoru Hosoda. The story takes place 20 years after the original plot of the novel and tells about a love with science fiction as the core Story - Makoto, a 17-year-old girl, fell on duty while on duty, and inadvertently acquired the ability to travel through time and space, and used this ability to solve problems in her life.

Most of the works directed by Mamoru Hosoda are of high quality. Famous works include "Summer Wars" in 2009 and "Children of Monsters" in 2015. If it goes back to the millennium, it is "Howl's Moving Castle" and Digimon: Our Game of War. The quality of this work is also on the upper side. It won the Best Animation Award of the Japan Film Academy in 2006, and has an excellent reputation. It is still known to people today.

The plot of the movie was originally just an ignorant love story, but after the element of time and space travel was added, the observability and attraction were greatly increased, just like "Forest of Fireflies" added monster elements to bring mystery. . As a solid science fiction concept, time travel requires the screenwriter to spend a lot of effort on the story script, pursues the fluency and logic of the plot, and requires the back-and-forth switching between time and space to be coordinated with the law of causality. Of course, "The Girl Who Traveled Through Time and Space" has done a great job at this point, and used many time and space travel to lay the groundwork. In the final travel, the director made use of the fact that the hero and heroine traveled through each other. The difference makes a beautiful and sad reversal of the ending. Moreover, the time-travel in the movie gives me the feeling that it is more like opening up a new parallel world than going back to the past. The protagonist does not go back to the past, but just goes to the previous time node in the new parallel world to create a new one. s future.

In the production of film images, roughness and fineness coexist. In many cases, human facial features are not shown in the distant view of the picture, and the characters in the distant view are only left with hair and blank faces, and sometimes the characters' walking movements are slightly stiffer than ordinary people, which is probably This is due to the limited production budget. However, sometimes, the movie will show amazing pictures, especially the picture of the heroine Makoto's home, which is delicately portrayed and full of vitality. Whether it is a day scene or a night scene, it gives people a feeling of peace and comfort, as if it were ideal. Decorative illustration of outdoor vegetation.

Apparently, the movie has also put a lot of effort into the soundtrack. Unfortunately, I watched it on the computer and played it on the speakers, and I missed a lot of the emotional episodes that matched the plot.

In terms of character characterization, the film deliberately uses the heroine Makoto's vision to observe and describe, so most of the characters around the heroine are half-covered and not fully displayed. And the portrayal of the heroine itself is also very interesting. The movie uses various small details to express the heroine's lively, cheerful and informal character. She loves to play baseball, can make jokes, and draws a knife to help Lu Jianqiang, just to eat pudding and a hot dinner. Just to sing KTV for free, use the powerful ability to travel through time and space. When faced with the confession of the male protagonist, he was overwhelmed and deeply embarrassed, so he had to constantly travel through time and space to prevent the confession from happening. It was hard to prevent the confession incident from happening, but the male protagonist was with another girl. At this time, he was jealous, and his inner thoughts were extremely plump and changeable. After that, the heroine uses her abilities to help others and save others, which is also to show her concern for her friends.

Obviously, if in other movies, the protagonist would choose to use the superpower of time travel to save the world and defeat the forces of evil, instead of "abusing" the ability to solve the problems of daily life as in "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" . However, this just happens to be the biggest feature of this movie. The ability to be used in daily life, perfectly integrated into the atmosphere of daily life, close to the inner thoughts of the audience, will also make the ability to travel through time and space, which is originally mysterious and dangerous, become Kind and lovely. Just imagine using this ability just to sing a few more hours of KTV, this simple and pure motivation is the core of the movie and the spiritual performance of the protagonist.

The motive of the heroine to travel through time and space is just like the original intention of the hero to travel through time and space, to travel through many years, just to see a picture that has been lost in the future.

Possesses dangerous abilities and has ordinary thoughts.

However, it was these two people who made the illusory promise of "waiting for you in the future". It is a pity that this kind of waiting, which exists forever in the future, is ultimately no match for the power of reality. Whether it is the heroine or the hero, once separated by time and space, no matter how strong the mind is, it still has to embark on its own path.

It's just that this kind of waiting that will always exist in the future is such a romantic story...

ps: In the afternoon after the supplementary test, I watched it with the old driver in the dormitory. I originally watched "The Godfather", but I ended up watching this movie/It's good overall, you can watch it/Oops, the era of male and female protagonists The technology is too far apart, I can tell at a glance that I won't meet for a hundred years, this kind of legendary relationship will be over / To be honest, if I were the male protagonist, I wouldn't go back in this situation Confessing indiscriminately is simply chaotic and abandoned...
