Before watching, I saw a lot of people commented that the male protagonist shot people selfishly and caused flooding in Tokyo emmmmm I just want to say
The first point is that in the whole play, there are only two parts of the male protagonist who shoot at people. The first time is to save the female protagonist while being beaten (I think it arouses the fear of domestic violence in the past) and the second time. It is also to save the heroine, but the hero did not shoot because he also knew that there was no reason to raise a gun. It was more a manifestation of threat and helplessness
The second point is that the flooding of Tokyo is naturally the weather, not caused by the heroine and the hero. Sacrificing the heroine can indeed be sunny, but the heroine is not obliged to sacrifice voluntarily.
In the end, the male protagonist chooses to save the female protagonist and let Tokyo continue to rain, which is also the difference between a romantic teenager and a realistic adult that Makoto Shinkai wants to express
And at the end of the film, it also praises the tenacious ability of human beings to adapt and enjoy flowers even in rainy days. People's daily life is still going on constantly. People should adapt to nature instead of sacrificing one person to change nature.
