The film tells the story of a boy who has the courage to deviate from the system. During the rainy season, he meets a teacher who has a great influence on his growth. At the same time, he also grew up with his teacher, walked out of the shadows and achieved self-redemption. In the film, the relationship between the male and female protagonists is often viewed from the perspective of a snoop. Through the pillars between the two in this perspective, the embarrassment between the two is always conveyed, and the female protagonist is always in a higher position than the male protagonist. The state of being more relaxed than the male protagonist shows that the initiative of the two is in the hands of the female protagonist. The heroine is a high-school Chinese teacher. She was ostracized and framed by female students at school, which made her stay in a stage for a long time and dare not take that step to grow up. Hiding in the pavilion in the park dare not step out of his own little world. At the same time, she also lost her sense of taste. She was drinking beer and eating chocolate every morning, but she felt the taste in the toilet brought by the male protagonist. Under the condition that the heroine knew the identity of the male protagonist from the beginning, she slowly realized self-redemption, opened her heart and walked out of the shadows through more and more understanding of the male protagonist. At the end of the film, she also explained her growth - moving to Shikoku Island and becoming a Chinese teacher in a new school. The heroine is always in a state of shadow, and her foreground will also have obstructions such as leaves and glass to express her mystery. The male protagonist is a boy who deviates from institutionalization and has dreams, and is willing to work hard for his dreams to work during summer vacations to buy materials and so on. It was in this 15-year-old boy that the heroine saw the courage to pursue her dreams, and finally stepped out of the shadow of the stairs and stepped into the light at the end to achieve self-redemption and growth. The male protagonist expresses his love for the female protagonist, but this is not love. The male protagonist is just a 15-year-old boy with a very vague definition of love. He mistakenly thought that what she had for the female protagonist was love or liking, but it was not. The female protagonist is just a symbol on the male protagonist's growth path. In the early stage of the film, there is a scene where the female protagonist leaves the pavilion, which simulates the male protagonist's child's perspective, which just shows that the male protagonist has an Oedipus complex towards the female teacher. , which reflects that the male protagonist likes primitiveness and does not like modernity and the opposite of industrialization. It also clearly tells the audience that for female teachers, the male protagonist's identity is only a male student and nothing else. The Oedipus complex reflects the male protagonist's desire for growth. This film perfectly shows us that the advantages of animated films compared to live-action films are that the lyrical way is more direct and the emotion is more delicate. The director conveyed his own views on industrial civilization: The distance between people has become very far. Inspire the audience to grow up and pursue the innermost words and leaves. There will be many encounters on the way, but you must take that step with the courage to deviate from the system!
