The past of love, the lonely story

I don't know how long I haven't suffered such a psychological impact. After watching this film, I couldn't calm down for a long time. I used every frame to confirm the past, and I felt that the world was cold.

The first time that Makoto Shinkai's work ended was the "Five Centimeters Per Second", which was praised as a masterpiece. Now he has become a fat man with a dark complexion who hates talking and has bad breath. Like Makoto Shinkai's scenery porn, it evolves from gorgeous scenes to character lines. The reality is so helpless, the helplessness is mostly caused by distance, and the distance causes evolution. In the end, I can only sigh.

Xiaoxiong, a 15-year-old high school student, has had a foot fetish since he was growing up. In the process of concentrating on his studies, he had to work part-time jobs to earn money. His mother ran away from home, and he and his brother lived a life that could not see ahead. On the day of entering the plum, Takao skipped class and came to the garden. In a quiet pavilion, 27-year-old female teacher Yukino caught Takao's attention by eating chocolate and drinking beer. The two, who seem to know each other, seem to have agreed to escape from worldly troubles every day when it rains, and meet in a quiet corner of this reinforced steel urban jungle that is like a paradise. During the rainy season, their hearts gradually moved closer to each other. Takao, who volunteered to be a handcrafted shoemaker, decided to use Yukino as a model to make a pair of shoes.

The moment Takao and Yukino met, they were doomed to fail. The huge distance in age, the huge distance in identity, and the huge distance in way of life were like a "dome" that both parties could see but couldn't touch. Xueye has a pair of beautiful feet, which naturally aroused the infinite interest in foot control Sao Nian. Although she was reluctant to admit it, when she saw those beautiful feet, everything Sao Nian did in her hobby was for her. For her to go to the garden on time, for her to make bento seriously, for her to work part-time and save money to buy leather. At the beginning, under the effect of the "dome", Xueye didn't have a clear affection for Sao Nian, but when she tasted the "admiration" of Sao Nian with her tongue that had lost her sense of taste, her heart got closer, so she was in A rather unfamiliar man showed his jade feet in front of him, promising to be Sao Nian's shoemaker. Today, in an age where people's hearts are not ancient, I think most women are shy about showing their feet in front of strange men, but the two who have a "dome" have progressed so quickly. The reason is that both of them have. respective distances. The distance between Sao Nian and his family, and the distance between Xueye and his students, as the saying goes, "God closes a door, but opens another window for you", and these distances also have a reaction force, and this reaction force is "predestined". Both parties appear when the other party is most depressed, and the power of the dome will surely slow down.


There is a faint thunder, and the sky is cloudy, but I hope that the wind and rain will come and keep you here.
The faint thunder, the cloudy sky, even if there is no wind or rain, I will stay here.

However, reality is reality. The power of the "dome" cannot be resisted by human beings. Sao Nian is destined to eat a good person card. In the rainy season, the power of the dome can be temporarily weakened by the thunder and lightning of a certain Taoist friend. As soon as the rainy season stopped, there were no passers-by. When the rainy season is about to stop, Sao Nian makes a tactful confession, then politely refuses, bids farewell, and leaves tactfully. In the dome, we must be euphemistic, and too much euphemism will inevitably lead to insufficient emotional capacity. Finally, when Sao Nian left you, Xueye's emotions emerged like a river bursting, and instinctively pursued Xiaoxiong, although love was in the past, destined to be lonely, although it was only a temporary vent, although the dome could not be broken, but at least in the past. At that moment, the distance between their hearts was 0.
