Memories are like wine--Interpretation of the last two minutes of "5 centimeters per second"

A work will express a thought or a concept or some feelings, and where this is deeply expressed in the work, we call it the finishing touch. Undoubtedly, the last scene of the animation of 5 centimeters per second is such a finishing touch.

Xin Haicheng spent more than 50 minutes foreshadowing, and finally released the feelings he wanted to express in the last two minutes by turning around, turning around and smiling.

Maybe there are still people who are obsessed with the ring on Mingli's ring finger, or Takaki and someone else sleeping on the bed in a dimly lit room at fifty-eight minutes and nine seconds, but Makoto Shinkai wants to tell us that no matter how deep the feelings are. Will there be such a view and theme as a day of deterioration? Obviously not!

Let's go back to the last scene:

Akari and Tono pass each other on the rails and recognize each other. When the two walked to both sides of the railroad tracks, they turned their heads in unison. At this time, the speeding train blocked the sight of the two of them on both sides. When the train passed, Tono found that Akari had left. Then, in the rain of cherry blossoms falling at a speed of 5 centimeters per second, Tono turned and left with a smile.

In these short two minutes, the outline of the story of the previous fifty minutes was actually included:

Nari and Tono met when they were children (meeting at the railroad tracks), but in the end, the two went to different places (going to a different place). Both sides of the railroad tracks) Although they miss each other in their hearts (the two turned their heads at the same time), various difficulties lie between the two (the speeding train blocks their sight on both sides) Tono is in the memory Confused, not accepting any new happiness (the ever-changing but unchanged carriage in front of Tono), when the prosperity came to an end, Akari found happiness (Mingri had already left) and Tono finally came out of the confusion (Tono turns away with a slight smile).

What Xin Haicheng wants to express is that the once pure feelings will not disappear with the loss of time. Even if this feeling is not completed for various reasons, it will definitely be a beautiful memory in my heart. And shrinking in the scars of the past, not daring to accept new happiness, will only make the heart grow older and older, and finally die slowly. Memories are like wine, you can feel the sweetness of it when you drink a little, if you drink too much and indulge in it, you are just a delirious drinker.

In the rain of cherry blossoms falling at a speed of 5 centimeters per second, Tono stepped forward in a happy past. The backs of the two drifting farther and farther contain the sadness of being in love and missing, but more of it is the longing for a happy future.

    When you meet, you need to cherish it. After you miss it, don't regret it. When you go forward, don't forget to look back to see if someone is watching you like you are watching the person in front of you.

    Akari Shinohara: Hey... They say it's five centimeters per second.

    Takaki Toono: What do you mean?

    Akari Shinohara: The speed at which the sakura blossom petals fall... Five centimeters per second.

  • Takaki Toono: It must really be a lonelier journey than anyone could imagine. Cutting through absolute darkness, encountering nothing but the occasional hydrogen atom. Flying blindly into the abyss, believing therein lie the answers to the mysteries of the universe.
