Cool animation is still suitable for watching in summer

"Summer Wars" was a feature-length animation that was released in Japan last August. Think about the neon country house across the sea. People can watch it in an air-conditioned cinema with cheaper movie tickets than us in the sweltering summer of August. A cool movie is very cool. The people of this dynasty can only download and watch this animation called "Summer Wars" in November when the winter is cold. It is already almost winter... So I wisely waited until I only downloaded the 1080P version in July this year. Although I watched it a little late, it was high-definition and I watched it in summer, which made up for some regrets.

The beautiful and cheerful heroine Xia Xi is obviously the object of the otaku people's longing, and the hero Kenji is a shy and shy technical nerd. The personal relationship has developed from the unrequited love of Kenji tram to a couple who are in love with each other. The scene of the story starts with them and ends with them. Obviously, this is a main line...

The setting of OZ is also very interesting in the animation. An existence that is similar to the current SNS website, but it is obviously an SNS website used by all people on earth, and it has been enlarged to a large extent. By stealing the account, you can obtain the corresponding permissions of the characters in the real world. From the setting, the world of OZ is almost a microcosm of this world. Everything that you can dare to think and do is replicated in the world of OZ. It is also because of this setting that Kenji can be saved as a technical nerd. The chance of the world, in the Jinnai family mansion, staged a thrilling self-defense counterattack of the earthlings, but the setting of stealing the president's account to launch a nuclear bomb is really... If the authority of the nuclear button depends on this The level of security protection is too much, there is no general order, at least you can give a security card!

Everyone on the animated poster is a member of the big family in the Zhennai, including doctors, self-defense forces, firefighters, police, government officials... It can be said that it covers all areas of social life. If 500 years ago, They will be the samurai warriors who fought in the Ueda War during the Warring States Period, but 500 years later, they are also the warriors who bravely fought against artificial intelligence under the leadership of their grandmother.

"In the beginning, our Jinnai family was the right hand of the strongest Takeda army, but because of the demise of the Takeda clan, the retainer group was also torn apart. In the 13th year of Tianzheng, facing the 7,000 elite troops of the Tokugawa army, the ancestors only led 2,000 troops to confront the enemy. But I we won, this is the first Ueda battle." Jinnai Wansuke was thinking about the glorious history of the Jinnai family. In the summer of 2009, he was also very proud of this family with a glorious history.

"In the fifth year of Changqing, Tokugawa Hidetada led 38,000 troops to attack the small county of Ueda. In contrast, our army only had 2,000 men and horses deliberately provoked the enemy to lead them to the castle, then closed the door, then set up a fence in the castle town to lock them up, and then When the men of the Tokugawa family lost their minds, they were defeated. This was the second Ueda War.” When the men of the Jinnai family decided to carry the banner of their ancestors’ bravery, and used battle to complete their condolences to the grandmother, Wansuke spoke again. The story of the second Ueda battle, so the men of the Jinnai family relied on the tactics of their ancestors in the cold weapon era to move forward step by step to eliminate artificial intelligence in the world of OZ, but because of the fact that the cousin who was not on the road put the ice cubes They all moved out, so the plan failed, 囧.

"Changqing fought against the 150,000 troops of Tokugawa in the Osaka Summer Battle in the 20th year. Although they lost, they did not escape." The story of the ancestors of the Jinnai family was still a little sad at the end, but it also inspired All the Jintians fought to the death, and the final ending felt a bit paler than the previous one. The scene where the people of the world gave their power to Xanai reminded me of the Rock Paper Scissors Superman I watched when I was a child, using the power of everyone Rock Paper Scissors to defeat the villain. It’s just that the punches here have turned into flower prints. Although there is a setting that the nuclear facility will be attacked before the decisive battle, there is no pressure at all, because no matter how you look at it, it must be a film that will end with a happy end, which may be too much love for grandma. More, I always feel that after the death of the old grandmother, the story is a little more conventional.

The grandmother, Zhen Neirong, must be the most outstanding character in "Summer Wars", a real warrior woman, in the current relaxed and comfortable social environment, she still retains the spirit of the warrior family in the Warring States period, meticulous, treats her children severely, and pays attention to her children. The spirit is light on material things, but she is also a kind old man. She and Kenji played with the flower bouquet is quite touching. What a good grandmother, and also entrust her beloved granddaughter to a trustworthy young man without a gorgeous appearance, she When he died, many people should have been touched, and they would all think of the grandmother or grandmother who was gentle, considerate and considerate to him in the process of growing up. The part where she called her relatives and friends to motivate them was the most outstanding part. It was for the sake of being a former Takeda official. Although you are retired now, I heard that you are now working in the Ministry of Homeland Defense... These are from my grandmother's mouth. Her greetings seemed to carry a lot of weight. She was inspiring the entire Japanese society almost by herself. The women of the warrior family are really strong. At this time, I thought of Atsuhime, and I thought of the Tokugawa family and said to Atsuhime, where there is your place, It is the city of the Tokugawa family, and Jinnai Rong is also such an existence. The old man Izumi knows that, he must be very pleased.

The length of the animation is not long, but because the characters are full of personalities, the supporting characters are also very full. The pitcher of Jinnai, who rises and falls with Jinnai's world, has always enthusiastically supported his mother and played against Jinnai Wansuke, who knows the history of the inner family well, is a good master horse who competes in the virtual world because he is frustrated in reality, and Wabisuke who wants to be recognized by his grandmother but goes further and further down the wrong road... Their existence is also very good. Support this summer battle.

Although the part where Xanai and Kenji hold hands is a bit bleak due to the warm-blooded style of the whole film, it is actually quite touching. Seeing Kenji's trembling hands and not daring to touch Xanai is still quite embarrassing, Kenji classmate, you He is really a good person, if there is a bad guy like Wabisuke next to Xanai, I would probably hug him directly! ! It's just that not all good people can have the ability and the opportunity to prove themselves like Kenji. Most people should still fail in front of the goddess Xana... Hey,

I feel that "Summer Wars" is not a classic, But it is indeed a very cool work. It is not boring and very happy, but there are also touching scenes, which are very suitable for the sultry summer pastime.

Summer Wars quotes

  • Sakae Jinnouchi: [a letter in an envelope reading: To the family - read when the time comes, from passed away granny Sakae Jinnouchi, read in her voice] To my family. // First, take yourselves a deep breath. Crying and carrying on doesn't help anything. Make my funeral arrangement a simple affair, just our close friends, and then go back to your day-to-day lives. I don't have anything to leave you in a way of an inheritance. That said, I'm sure my old acquaintances will keep an eye on Jin'nôchi family. No need to worry, my dears. You've always been hard workers, and I know you'll keep it up. And grant me this. If Wabisuke should ever make his way back home... He's been gone ten years and counting now, so who's to say if that day will ever come... But if he does, I'm sure he'll be hungry. He never took proper care of himself and probably weren't even eating right. So, let him have as many vegetables from the fields as he wants. And the grapes and peaches, too, he always loved those the best. I remember the day we first met. Even now it's clear as a bell, his little ears look just like my husband's. Definitely, his father's son. We walked through the field of morning glories and I told him he would be our child from that day forward. He didn't say a single word, but his hand wrapped all the tighter around my finger. I was so happy to be giving him the family he needed. I like to think he could feel the happiness radiating off of me. Never turn your back on family, even when they hurt you. Never let life get the better of you. And if you remember nothing else, remember to find time to eat together as a family, even when times are rough; especially when times are rough. There's no lack of painful things in this world, but hunger and loneliness must surely be two of the worst. Thanks to you, my precious family, I didn't know a moment of either of those the last ninety years. // Love you all. Good bye.

  • Ri'ichi Jin'nôchi: ...You have to protect others in order to protect yourself.

    Tasuke Jin'nôchi: At the Self-Defence Force motto?

    Ri'ichi Jin'nôchi: Not exactly. I just lifted it from Seven Samurai.
