The ending theme song of Firefly Forest is "Summer を見ていた", which means looking at summer.
If we say that the main part of the movie accounts for only 70% of the entire story, the remaining 30% of the story is supplemented by the ending song.
For me, this movie felt a bit of a problem with the pacing of the story - the events that followed were caught off guard, and the whole summer passed so quickly that it didn't even have time to reminisce.
Even if the moment the silver disappeared, I sighed that the picture was too beautiful and too sad, that feeling was soon blurred by the progress of the movie.
However, as long as the more than five minutes of the ending twisted the eye.
"Cicadas sing with laughter/The setting sun reflects the dark color/Detour and go home/Meet again tomorrow/Xia Sewei sneaks in/Afterglow in this life"
Long tune, clean voice. When I opened it, I recalled the many, many summers that the girl and Yin had been with each other since they were 6 years old. The same dazzling and dazzling sunshine, dull and bright green, quiet and dazzling lake and hot wind.
It's just that the past summer is gone with the disappearance of silver.
"In the endless story / I only realized it at the beginning / The flying crow / I don't know where to go / Summer is coming / Like an unknown treasure / I miss it all the time / The gold of that time / Lights up the corners of the inactive years"
The girl is no longer looking forward to summer, nor is she looking forward to stepping into that forest. Those ignorant feelings are like a dream, silenced in the past. I miss it, just miss it.
I was looking forward to their reunion until the end, only to find that all that was left was the girl who spread her legs and walked forward without looking back.
Silver, it seems to have really disappeared completely.
"Summer will come / To keep that promise / Xia Sewei sneaks in / Fang Yuhui in this life"
Together with his sentence "It's okay to forget me", it slowly disappeared into the wind.
The story came to an end.
The reason why this story includes this ending song, I think, in fact, we all had a summer without knowing it, loaded with those impulsive, peaceful and shy moments.
It was not until many years later, in retrospect, that I realized that some people or things had brought us an unforgettable summer.
The ending song seems to give us a space to recall the forest of fireflies. It is only in memory that we will discover the beauty and capture the beauty that has passed away.
It's just, looking at the shady words at the end of the film, and the reunion without easter eggs, we also know deeply and realistically that those memories of shaking tree shadows with the sound of cicadas are stuck in the past - time will never come back.
Such a realistic summer, such a summer full of regrets, heat, beauty and disappearance, is the forest of fireflies that we most want to see.
Summer を見ていた, just look at summer like this.
