descending from the cloud

This is by no means my conflict with the world, or the silly rules of love versus the world. It's just my own commentary on myself, just like that kind of road movie, I walked and walked all the way, and then with a bang, I was carried away by " have to do it ", and flew into the sky in the sea of ​​Tokyo.

In fact, in my opinion, the kind of stories that say Weathering with the World is against the world for love is the most stupid, and the kind of people who say poor logic and forced a perfect ending are the saddest.

So what about changing the background? How can it be perfect? It's just telling a story about a 16-year-old boy trying to survive, meeting a 15-year-old girl in Tokyo, and then being together against the backdrop of Tokyo's ocean, that's all.

But many people may feel confused after reading this comment of mine, so I prefer to subjectively put this story in the context of Japan. Hodaka is a boy who runs away from home to chase the sun, and Hina is a young girl who can bring sunshine but pretends to be an 18-year-old who works hard to earn money to take care of her younger brother. Both of them are deviating from society in different ways and sticking to their own lives, but what is his sunshine? Hodaka came to Tokyo and felt the warmth at the KA club. As he said, his heart was " no longer disturbed ". He found the so-called happiness in this society, and then he brought Yang Cai to bring sunshine to people. , to make others happy, all the plots are narrated around this prayer magic that brings happiness, and Yang Cai also " had to " feel the so-called happiness of this society, but this happiness is achieved by sacrificing Haruna herself Therefore, in the latter part of the story, Yangna asked Hodaka, " Do you also hope for the sun? "Is it true that everyone in this world is looking forward to sunshine? In this " popular " zone, Qingnu sacrificed herself in exchange for everyone's sunshine and happiness.

But what about Hodaka? He found that the sunshine he was looking forward to was actually hidden in the clouds and rain, just like when he was looking for Yang Cai at the end, he flew into the clouds and found that there was actually sunshine in the clouds. When he tried to save Yang Cai, everything was an obstacle. Although these obstacles were actually completely unrelated to the matter of holding a gun, I think there is a symbolic meaning here . It's nothing to do with itself, but a lot of people stop because of it ."

Of course, the final outcome is perfect. When Hodaka returned to Tokyo to meet Keisuke, I suddenly thought that Keisuke said " the world has been crazy from the beginning ", but what is the madness itself? "You haven't changed the world." When Hodaka heard this sentence, I think he felt comfort from the bottom of his heart, and relieved from his guilt. So on the way he went to see Yang Cai, he kept repeating this sentence, thinking that comforting himself was more about comforting Yang Cai. I thought this was the end, and that was it, and my heart was empty and dull. Thinking of walking out of the movie theater like this. But what hit me hard was the subtitle "We changed the world!!!!" when Hodaka ran to Xiangyangcai. I felt like I almost cried. What does it matter if the world changes or not? We are just pursuing our own happiness, our own sunshine, why do we still need the nonsense of "not changing the world" to comfort ourselves? It's none of our business whether the world changes or not, we're just doing what we " have to " in life and that's all we have to find out about ourselves.

"The world has been crazy since the beginning." The crazy thing is that the world is changing the will of the individual. The crazy thing is that the individual's will is accepting the change. Against the will of the world. " There's no need to fight against the world, it doesn't matter if you whisper, just express yourself and that's all.

Finally, I suddenly thought of what that old grandmother said, "Tokyo is originally a sea", I think everything is returning to the most "original" state for Yangna Hodaka, living for the craziest nature of himself, no longer being restricted by rules and regulations. Bondage, no right or wrong. It's like falling from the cloud " sunshine " to a " rain " field, but there is always its own sunshine, a hug. good luck! .

    The picture and music are full marks, and the rhythm of the plot is still a pain point for Makoto Shinkai. It seems to have caught the public's favorite point for Jun Ming, and then stuffed all the elements into it to densely sensationalize, regardless of the rationality of the characters' logic. The male protagonist walked along the Yamanote Line to Ikebukuro and ran to Yoyogi, and the two-minute sensational skydive was performed by two people. The script may have been written by Qiong Yao. Makoto Shinkai is right, this will indeed be a work with polarized evaluations. While the picture is perfect, the plot seems to have amnesia, catastrophically moving forward for the purpose of sensationalism. Xin Hai still hadn't jumped out of Jun Ming's frame—or he didn't even want to.

    I saw it with great expectations, but I couldn't take in the feelings at all. It looks like a kid who ran away from home is making fun of it. First of all, the reason for leaving home was not explained. The relationship between the hero and the heroine was also very vague. Finally, he came around with a gun. No matter what the reason, holding a gun is wrong, and the reason is just "I'm going to find the heroine!" Please, don’t be selfish to trouble everyone anymore... It’s too old to sacrifice something in exchange for super powers, right?
