If life is just like first love

Young love is always simple and beautiful.
An emotional smile, the moment of listening intently, the heartbeat passing by.
Hayao Miyazaki's animations are always good at describing such love.

The hazy love between the girl "Hai" and the boy "Jun" was born in Japan, which has just recovered from the heavy blow of World War II. Their love has the purity and youthfulness of their first love. It starts with a crush, and then fate brings them closer and closer. Love grows soft vines in the entanglement of fate and becomes each other's fetters.

In the film, there are two people who work together for their dreams, and two people who mistakenly believe that they are brothers and sisters of each other's pain and struggle. In between, there is joy, sadness, dreams, confusion, expectations, and loss... Huicheng A poem called "Youth".

Just like the ending song sings:
"On the sparkling sea, the shadow of the ship gradually blurs
the sound of the farewell whistle. Go
down the slow ramp
Can you meet the summer wind
? My love is a seagull
. High, low, and flying
If you call
me in the setting sun, will I meet the gentle you
Walking on the path, the swaying shadows of trees
quietly drop the shadows of farewell
old churches, whether the pointer of the wind vane
can see the summer street
The love of yesterday is like tears
that will dry up and pass away
tomorrow Love is a chorus that
never ends
If we meet again in the sunset,
will you hold me in your arms?"

    "The Hillside with Poppies in Bloom" Why is there no poppies in bloom? I deliberately checked the information and tested it: There is a restaurant called "Yu Poppies" on a ramp in Bunkyo District, Tokyo. Before the original comics were published, the author and Kodansha editors often discussed matters here. After the comics were booked, there was "Yu The name "Beauty Poe". The animation just keeps the original name. As for "blooming", it is the play of Chinese translation. After Wu Lang finished filming this film, he finally got the approval of the old man Gong. This is the era of rapid economic take-off in Japan after the war, the era of vigorous awakening of all kinds of thoughts, the era of vigorous struggles of the All-Academic Federation and all-community, and the era of the upcoming Tokyo Olympics. The entire film is full of vitality and freedom and rebellious spirit. The orange lights of Shitamachi at dusk and the bustling city atmosphere, the bicycles of Kecang clawing down the hill, the girlish skirts and braids, the fried croquettes eaten while walking, the huge ships of Yokohama Port, seagulls and siren, in the night The confession of the girl at the bus stop, the teenagers are defending their own spiritual corner... And in 2020, after a reincarnation, the East Olympics will be cancelled. Looking back at this film, how can you not be embarrassed?
