again, again

I really want to watch it again, this is my first reaction at the end of the film. From the first time to the fifth time, this work may have been familiar to me by heart, but maybe the ending song really sings the hearts of many people, such as me, whether it is in the past or now, all in my heart Silently reciting: one more time.
Movies can be repeated, but life cannot be repeated. There are times when I want to go back no matter what. Constantly remorse, the words that I couldn't say at the time, the heart that I couldn't express in the past, and the you that I didn't cherish in the past are like a speeding train, disappearing on the horizon. Although I once thought the passage of time would not be so turbulent. Looking at the falling cherry blossoms and the rumbling trams, everything is so slow, calm, full and beautiful. Every second, the next second, thinking about it now, feels like a dream.
Separation is like a rust stain on a bronze statue. At first we thought we could fix everything with persistence, but gradually, we got tired, numb, and obeyed. Nature and reality are nakedly exposed in front of us, like rust on the statue, and there is sadness between the mottles. The poets of later generations wrote infinite beauty and regret on paper, but this is just a commemoration. All the estrangements caused by separation are bound to exist, and may not be able to be reversed.
However, the heart will comfort itself from harm: once good, maybe enough. My heart will doubt myself at the same time: However, is it really enough? Is it really enough? Who will know? Perhaps, in order to protect ourselves, our hearts have not allowed us to think. The heart has compromised with reality, and in front of reality, we only have to breathe. But why do I feel so sorry? Perhaps, the residual nostalgia disturbed the peace in my heart and gave birth to a faint sadness.
The faint sadness in the heart and in the works resonated with each other. This kind of light sadness slowly flows out through the beautiful pictures, the meticulous dialogue, the transition of the camera, and the quiet soundtrack, and slowly penetrates into the heart. This kind of light sadness is irresistible, makes people fascinated, and makes people slowly remember that I used to be a teenager in the muddled adult world.
The missed years gradually faded and disappeared in my memory, leaving some inexplicable sadness in my heart. I don’t know if it was for myself or for time, and it burst out at a certain moment, when this movie was played. It burst out, blurring the world in front of him.
Flickering short shots, like images from the past that cannot be erased in my mind. The turbulent memories broke through the locks of the heart from the memories that had been sealed for a long time, and burst out. People feel surprised for themselves, open their mouths and want to express their heartfelt second, the melody of the ending song suddenly appeared in a snowy sky, one more time one more chance, heart and mouth are both. A smile could not help but emerge: it would be great if we could do it all over again.
Life is very sad because it cannot be repeated. It is obviously just an ordinary day, but sadness is accumulating everywhere. Time is cruel because it can't be controlled by people. Waiting on the stopped train, I feel the turbulent passage of time. Always looking, always looking. No matter how fast or slow, whether it is falling cherry blossoms or a spaceship heading for the universe, what greets us is always an empty and lonely future.
Again, another life.


Attachment: I secretly think that the lyrics of the ending song is the best movie review of this movie, with the Chinese lyrics of one more time and one more chance,


what do I have to lose before I can be forgiven
and how much pain I have to bear to meet you again I know
one more time, four seasons, don’t change
one more time, go back to the time when I was playing with you,
I always give
up first when arguing, but your willfulness makes me even more obsessed with
one more chance, who is imprisoned by memory, I
can’t choose one more chance A home
, I have been looking for your figure
, the window in the alley of the room opposite
Even though I know you're not there,
if my wish can come true, I'll come to you right away. I'm
no longer afraid of anything.
Even if I give everything, I'll hold you tight.
If it's just to relieve loneliness, anyone can replace
me. But on this starry night, I can no longer deceive myself.
One more time, four seasons, don't change
one more time, go back to the time when I played with you,
I have been searching for your figure
, in the dream of wandering in the bustling streets,
although I know you are not there,
if a miracle can happen, I will meet you immediately Abandoning all the
past on a brand new morning
Saying the long-awaited "I love you"
Summer memories haunt my heart Thinking of the
unintentional disappearing heartbeat I know you're not there, if my wish can come true, I'll come to you right away, I'm no longer afraid of anything , I 'll hold you tight even if I give everything I've been looking for the news of you, the corner of the hotel newspaper where I set off, even though I know it 's a miracle that you're not there If it can happen, I want to meet you right away, throw away all the past in a new morning , say the long-awaited "I love you", I have been looking for your smile , on both sides of the galloping train














Even though I know you're not there,
if life can be reincarnated, no matter how many times I'll be with you,
there's nothing that can make me nostalgic.
As long as I have you, I don't want anything else

  • 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.
