sky is cloudy,
but I hope that the wind and rain will come and
keep you here.
Invisible rain curtain, surrounded by green leaves, deep in the winding path, under the pavilion. A young boy and a young woman who have never known each other meet by chance and observe each other secretly. The boy quietly draws the girl's feet on the scratch paper - this very ambiguous plot seems to be destined for the follow-up of the story.
And Xin Haicheng is never in a hurry to promote the development of the story. Whether it is "The Garden of Words", "Five Centimeters Per Second", or "The Other Side of the Cloud", his narrative is always in a hurry, like a monk in a deep mountain monastery. , squinted his eyes, stroked his beard, and talked. The best part is that even though his eyes are half-squinted, he seems to be oblivious to the things around him, but in fact he has already seen everything. A close-up picture and an inadvertent remark always make the audience secretly hide the deep meaning of the eyebrows.
Animation is the most imaginative creation without boundaries, not limited by shooting conditions, not framed by the appearance of actors, everything is in the mind of the main writer.
Watching Shinkai Makoto's animations is definitely an unstoppable enjoyment every time. On the screen, sometimes it opens and closes, stretching the broad perspective, and sometimes it is meticulous, capturing the petals of flowers. The ultimate romantic beauty! The colors are elegant and refined, not like Hayao Miyazaki's tranquility, but they are very good at creating an atmosphere, and then through the atmosphere of the color of the picture to render the emotion, so that the audience is immersed in it unconsciously.
The subtlety of love lies in its obscurity and subtlety, hidden but not revealed, and secret. Makoto Shinkai's animation works are all about love, and the most unforgettable and unique love under his pictures is secret but profound.
His style of painting is always fresh and splendid; his words are always too ordinary, as if the characters in the play are by our side; his stories have the sadness of separation, the unspeakable repression, and the alienation. Unfamiliar, but also waiting for the silence - but only without the ups and downs of the plot and hysterical contradictions.
I suddenly remembered a well-known poem "I Like You Are Quiet" by the Spanish poet Neruda. Makoto Shinkai's animation works and the artistic conception contained in this poem are the most suitable and moving interpretations of each other.
Compare these two horizontally and cross-fields, one is a poet who is passionate and sexual, and the other is an animation master who is most beautiful. Although the artistic categories are completely different, the emotions conveyed from the deepest part are amazingly consistent. !
Perhaps, this is what human beings and art have in common. Isn't the highest form of art the expression of human love?
