After the 8.10 first brush, to be honest, the first feeling is that the plot is slightly inferior to "Your Name", but in fact this film has a lot of stamina. After reading it, I went to buy the OST. It basically cycled for a week, making up various pv, comics, and novels. Later, I found out that because the single-day box office of this film in Hong Kong surpassed the rumored rumors, and the IMAX theater in Hong Kong can show non-IMAX source movies, I finally had the opportunity to have a second shot in the IMAX theater on the 21st. After zooming in on the screen, you can see many details that were not visible before. The most influential one is a close-up of the protagonist's instant noodles, and the small characters on it are clearly visible.
Speaking of the film itself, the English translation Weathering With You this time is really amazing. Weathering means "withstand, get through (difficulties)", and it can also be paraphrased as walking with you through wind and rain, which is really a perfect translation. Movie theme.
In Makoto Shinkai's films, there are always various distances between the male protagonists. Second Five Miles is about the distance between hearts, the Garden of Words is about the distance of identity, and your name is about the distance between time and space. I believe that it is difficult for people who have talked about long-distance relationships to not be moved by it. Everyone can see their own shadow more or less in it.
This time, the male and female protagonists spent most of the time together to overcome various difficulties. Indeed, the plot may not be as twisted and bizarre as Jun Ming's. It can be predicted that the score will even continue to drop after the film is released in the mainland. Compared with Jun Ming, the advantages of this work are more beautiful pictures, not weak music, more mature narrative rhythm, and a more mature love story. Although the second half of the plot also has abusive parts, it is not deliberate, and it can't make many people cry like the climax of Junming, but in some scenes, it is easy to move people to tears. The part of the fireworks show with BGM is really beautiful. It should be the part that burns the most money in the whole film. At the end, the part where the male protagonist runs a Japanese drama on the Yamanote line is also very touching.
The final ending should also be hotly debated in the future. Makoto Shinkai wrote in the postscript of the novel that "movies are not teaching in schools". Movies don't have to be correct or exemplary, rather, they should say things that can't be said in textbooks—such as secret desires that can be frowned upon to be known. At least I was moved by the ending of the male protagonist's sentence "I just want to see her again". To sum it up in one sentence, a rainy day with you will also be a sunny day.
Today, the movie broke 10 billion at the box office in Japan, and it is also Hina's birthday, Hina's birthday, おめでとう!!!.
