summer battle

When I visited acf yesterday, I accidentally saw a little introduction to the look and feel,
it seems that it is not a work that is particularly worth looking forward to.
For the sake of Sadamoto Yoshiyuki x Hosoda Mori, I searched for some resources.
Due to the short screen time, there is no particularly good version released.
I hurriedly hung up a DVDRip version with Korean subtitles and forgot about it.

Since I was going to Hong Kong with my old friend to watch Evangelion The Movie: Broken early in the morning, I was a
little too excited and couldn't sleep, so
I thought about finding something to pass the time before the morning.
Unexpectedly, "Summer Wars", which has not been hanging for a long time, is ready to go.
At the moment when the screening started, he chuckled to himself and mocked himself: I didn't expect it to be quite
popular~

However, I really didn't expect it to be a pretty good film!
Even with the Korean subtitles, which take up nearly one-third of the screen,
I still finished the film in one go without any pause.
——It seems that there has been no such investment in a long time!
(At the same time reimbursed a beggar chicken~囧)

By the way, the last time Sadamoto Yoshiyuki x Hosoda Mori's "The Girl Who Traveled Through Time",
I didn't think it was as good-looking as many comments.
Maybe I'm not so sensitive to topics like "time travel".
In addition, its story narrative is relatively scattered, and the character introduction is not too in-depth.
The feeling of watching the movie that guessed the whole storyline from the beginning is just a constant confirmation.
However, this time, the film gave me too many surprises.

First, let's talk about the characters.
There are many characters in this work, men and women, young and old, good guys, and a big family.
However, each person has different personalities and characteristics, and the film handles it very well in a short period of time.
The outline of the group portrait is precise, and the characteristics of the characters are captured with a few finishing details.
(This can be said to be the uniqueness of Japanese life films.)
So after looking at the whole film, although there are many characters, the weight is just right,
and the different face makeup also plays a very good role in succession, and there is no confusion at all. .

For the main characters, the description is basically in place,
to the point where there is nothing special about it.
It's just that the male third (the best main horse) is relatively weak in functionality.
It may be better if his role can be attributed to the male protagonist.

The relationship between the male protagonist, female protagonist, male second, and female second is basically:
Shinji, Asuka, Kaji, Ritsuko/Naoko... 囧
(neta: Okay, I'm joking.)

The scene where the male protagonist counts and invests in nosebleeds makes I am reminded of "Pi".
As for the various neta in the film, I have endured it.
(I will definitely revisit the BD for this film and find better subtitles~) Then there

is the setting of the game world in the film.
Compared with the real world, the setting of this virtual world is too simple.
However, as a work for the public,
such bluffs are almost as reliable as "The Matrix".
The work only shows the amiable side of the virtual world.
If it turns black into "Ghost in the Shell", it is estimated that the box office will hang.

Overall, this is a pretty sweet work.
Suitable for audiences of all ages and families to watch in groups.

In this summer full of laughter and tears,
the mission of love and peace is in your hands and mine!

PS, at the end of the film, the female protagonist is too cute! That's a foul~*_*

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.
