Jump on, have a good time

"The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" is strictly the first Japanese animation film I watched, and I only heard about or watched a little brief introduction to Hayao Miyazaki's work, which was very popular before. However, I didn't expect to see it this time, and I had a great impression of Japanese animation movies.
In terms of picture processing alone, Japanese animation is clean and bright, and the characters' expressions, movements, and dubbing are all in place. Compared with the somewhat three-dimensional images of the United States, Japanese animations are more like cartoons presented on paper, and the color matching also gives people a bright and comfortable feeling. Therefore, Japanese cartoons are more inclined to the comic style, which does not have a strong visual impact, but strongly shocks our hearts.
What's more, the Japanese animation's soundtrack is light and bright, which is more moving than the attention-grabbing suspenseful music of American blockbusters.

The plot of "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" is actually not simple, because the girl Makoto repeatedly jumps from time and space, from the present to the past before something happened, and then re-leads her own future. In my opinion, such repeated jumps would inevitably cause a certain amount of spatial confusion, but the logical processing of the film simplifies these details.
It's still the same slope, the child waiting to see the time doll appear on time at 4 o'clock, and his pungent housewife mother, and accelerating down is the speeding train; it's still the confession of the back seat of the bicycle on the hillside Scenes, those topics that have been pulled apart and tough words to finish; it is still the laboratory that has changed many things, the girl who fell to the ground and those scattered books, the energy that travels through time and space in walnuts hidden in the corners undiscovered .
The same scene, the same person, but the same thing happened many times over and over again.
In the beginning, as Aunt Witch said, Makoto only used this ability in some small things, just for her own happiness and her own happiness. So some things happened that shouldn't have happened, like Gongsuke rejecting Koho-san because her grades were not as good as Makoto; and Takase caused a lot of trouble for frying shrimp instead of Makoto. Makoto is not a bad-hearted girl, and she feels really sad in her heart.
At this time, Makoto no longer wastes the ability to jump in time and space like that, or, in other words, she no longer jumps for herself. She began to jump in time and space for the happiness of others, just to make her friends happy too.
And in this short period of time, Makoto, who had deliberately tried to prevent her friend Qian Zhao from confessing to her, gradually realized her feelings for him after avoiding many times but feeling his warmth many times. Feelings, he turned to look forward to Qian Zhao's confession, but Qian Zhao never said the words Makoto wanted to hear.
I thought that would be the last. But fate is something that is unclear.
So, time goes back again and again.
The Qianzhao who came from the future world, the Qianzhao who gave Makoto these magical powers, the Qianzhao who made Makoto unforgettable, the Qianzhao who brought a lot of happiness to Makoto, the Qianzhao who should have disappeared, appeared in front of Makoto again.
Makoto, I will wait for you in the future.
The naughty and noisy Qian Zhao earnestly and firmly made a promise in Makoto's ear. There are no words to express, but it is the most sincere love for Makoto.
How to wait in the future? What does the painting mean to Qian Zhao?
We don't need answers for many things.
Only when this process is happening, we have uncontrollable love, we discover love, we confess our love, and we come together because of love.
Even though we are separated in time and space, our hearts are still together.
Such pure and pure love happened when Makoto was seventeen.
A past that can never be returned.


After watching the video, I was also thinking, if I had the ability to travel through time and space like this, would I sing karaoke repeatedly in the k-room like a real piano until my voice was hoarse but only paid for an hour, would I be like a real piano? Makoto kept preventing that cute big boy from making persistent and firm confessions?
I think I will also be very profligate. I may turn the time back if I am a little unhappy, and re-brew everything that is not good.
I even want to restart my high school, listen to every class carefully and carefully, spend every day in the library with my friends, then pass every test, collect all the information about the boy I have a crush on like a little girl, ride a bicycle get out of school and leave school, talk about a pure and beautiful love... Let me go back a few times with everything!
But then I'd be so tired, I'd keep everything in order, and I wouldn't allow the slightest bit of unpleasant things to happen. Then my memory will be complete and without regrets, but this is more like an irreparable defect.
We cannot repeat our time again and again.
We cannot use repeated repetitions to test our feelings and complete our lives.
Time is only once.
The summer of seventeen.
Where will that be left behind.

Just jump.
good times.
We relive you with memories.
