The girl Meilu and her younger sister, whose father was killed in a naval battle, and whose mother traveled across the ocean, live with some lovely tenants. One of the things Meru has to do every day is to raise the signal flag. In the past, she hoped to show her father the direction when she came home, but now she has developed a habit, because this is her hope. Although modern society no longer needs to use such a primitive way to guide the direction, for Mei Lu, this is a kind of expectation and a continuation of the previous feelings. In the age of high technology, we still need the power of tradition. Slow down and get back to the original heart, this is the eternal theme of Ghibli animation.
I like the Latin Building the most - it is looming in the trees, like another world in a parallel space.
"What did you research?" the lovely boss asked the students of the Astronomy Club.
"Because our lives are limited, there is no result yet. 』
This simple love heart, the heart of a scholar, simple but attractive. They are lovely: happy to put in a lot of time and enjoy the process without knowing the outcome.
Before I went to college, I used to want to do something like this, in a group, with a group of good friends to do something I thought was a great thing, and then toast and drink after the event was completed, chatting and driving the road all night, Singing your favorite songs loudly on an empty road; or walking around a certain continent in groups of three or five, and every place you go is a new world... I have lived like this for several lifetimes, and I have also I hope so. Although there is still one year left at the university, my tenacious and passionate dream still seems to have not been dried out. When I watched the hero and heroine and classmates work so hard for the Latin Building, I suddenly became enthusiastic. Big ideas start with the smallest things and slowly realize. Do it step by step, and one day you will find that fantasy is fantasy only because it is not done.
Meilu and Kazama are trying their best to keep something traditional. This story takes the era of rapid economic development in Japan as the background. Through the children's efforts to protect the Latin House, the love of Meilu and Kaze, and the deep friendship with the children's parents, the director's hope is expressed: I hope people will not forget the former Japan. , don't forget the most precious side of human nature.
Even though modern people have become increasingly indifferent due to high-pressure work and fast pace, everyone will yearn for that era in their hearts: fighting side by side means living and dying together, regardless of you and me; Can help drive to the market; see how cheap the fish is today so I can buy more for my neighbors... everything is so natural and orderly. That warm age is disappearing.
Will there be a day when the Latin House will be razed? Will there be a day when Meru no longer raises that old flag with hope? I just hope that on this day, as in the movie, with the efforts of those who still have warmth, it can be postponed a little more...
