The original novel "The Sound of the Tide"
The mainland translation of "Hearing the Sound of the Wave"
I remember that the first time I watched the movie was probably during the summer vacation of junior high school. I watched the VCD at a relative’s house. Familiar movie fans should know that when the movie entered the mainland, due to time constraints, the entire length of the film was controlled at 72 minutes, which is still fresh in my memory. Only seeing the vague "Rigazi", the film ended in regret. In an era when computers and the Internet were not so popular in families, I thought the director did it on purpose. It was very appetizing, and I discussed it with the female classmates in the class who had seen the film, and I also secretly greeted the director and his family ignorantly. Thinking about it now is a very childish and beautiful memory
Later, I found the complete film on the Internet, and the whole film took more than 70 minutes. The only moving shot at the end makes the encounter between Takuya and Rigazi so miraculous and so natural.
Since the title of the film is "The Sound of the Tide", in the animation, there are very few parts that directly express the "sea". Because of this, Tuo and his friend Feng meet at the seaside in the second half of the film, and the "sea" is so precious.
Continue to watch the film again, but find that the "sea" and "the sound of the waves" run through the whole film and are everywhere. There is the sound of "sea" in bgm, and the character's heart will have ripples of "sea". Even the city of Kochi has the taste of "sea". After seeing this, I realized that it was my heart, and I heard the "sound of youth" in my heart.
Everyone's youth memory is not the same. But in memory, there will always be one she/he (opposite sex), and one or two he/she (best friend). No matter what the current relationship is or where you are, that person and those stories have been deeply imprinted in my heart, and when I think about it occasionally, I still feel very nostalgic.
"That day we stayed at the seaside until the sunset was full of golden light on the sea before we left. The beauty of the sunset and the sea was also something I never imagined. They would be so beautiful because Ligazi was also at the seaside. After all, I once I've seen scenes like that many times, but I've never thought they were so beautiful" - excerpt from a novel
Youth, when you are young, you can't read, and when you understand, you are no longer young.
This may be the best animated film for youth.
