How long will it take to get closer to each other?

I watched it again tonight, Makoto Shinkai "5 Centimeters Per Second".

"If the falling speed of cherry blossoms is 5 centimeters per second, how long does it take to get closer to each other?"

A plain but deeply touching work.

The distance from the person you want to see is very far, and
sometimes even if you exhaust your strength and time, and try to get closer,
in front of distance and time,
your firm mood will become very fragile.

Maybe give up one day, like the story.
Then they each lived on a line that did not intersect, and
the people who were familiar with each other gradually became unfamiliar.

But the regret of being close to Yuhuai will continue.
Even after a few years, I will always try to find each other in the sea of ​​people. I
would rather wait for the encounter as a miracle than have the courage to contact each other again.

Is it fate or fate,
apart from pity and helplessness, what else can I do?

So I started to look back on the past, and tried my best to find the reason.
What was hindering each other?
...
is the distance, the time,
or the cowardice of each other.

5 Centimeters per Second quotes

  • Akari ShinoharaTakaki Toono: *Akari and Takaki kiss for the first time*

    Takaki Toono: And right then it felt like I finally understood where everything was, eternity, the heart , the soul. It was like I was sharing every experience I'd ever had in my past 13 years. And then, the next moment, I became unbearably sad. I didn't know what to do with these feeling. Her warmth, her soul. How was I supposed to treat them? That, I did not know. Then right then, I clearly understood that we would never be together. Our lives not yet fully realized, the vast expanse of time. They lay before us and there was nothing we could do. But then, all my worries, all my doubt, started melting away. All that was left were Akari's soft lips on mine.

  • Takaki Toono: On that day... the day she called... Akari must've been so much more jittery and upset than me, yet I couldn't find the words to console her. I felt so ashamed of myself.
