This work doesn't seem to be the work of Hayao Miyazaki, but a movie work produced by Studio Ghibli.
It depicts youth, the emotions that may or may not exist between students.
The grade group is the third year of junior high, almost the ninth grade.
In my opinion, this film is a little bland, just like a prose poem describing the innocent youth of the past.
The story is about an urban girl who was transferred from a rural junior high school. The monitor likes her, and "I" also had an intersection with her inadvertently. This is a girl with a story. Because her father had an affair and her mother divorced him, the girl had to follow her mother to go to a country school.
Act 1: The first encounter between "me" and the girl started when the girl borrowed money from me while traveling abroad.
Act 2: It turned out that the girl asked me to borrow money to go to Tokyo to find her father, and "I" accompany her to Tokyo because of a certain opportunity.
Act 3: Because the girl bothered "me" by talking about us going to a room together in Tokyo, so I dragged the girl to the corridor to ask, but it turned into a tear in the end.
Act 4: The girl was isolated by the group of girls because she did not participate in group activities due to her personality, etc. "I" saw it but didn't help her out, and was punched by a friend's monitor.
Although the film as a whole seems a little bland, it still contains a lot of elements.
The background of the girl's life experience (due to the divorce of her parents, she came to study abroad, went to Tokyo to find her father, she was withdrawn, and she was isolated by the group of girls)
class leader (with a sense of justice, the anti-stress school was given a trip abroad, had a crush on the girl, and the class leader's confession was cruel by the girl Rejected)
In the beginning, the school did not hold school trips for third-year students (Is this to explain the encounter between "I" and the monitor?) "I" is the only female friend
of the girl who works (life) at a sushi restaurant ...
One of my favorite parts of the film is that the girl went to Tokyo to find her father, and then ran to "me"'s room at night because of her sadness, leaning on "me"'s shoulder and crying.
It feels like a little girl.
There is also a section of "me" and the girl tearing at each other in the corridor, each giving each other a slap. This section is also very cruel, but it is also reasonable!
Overall, it's a bit bland, I hope there are some ups and downs in the story, but that kind of story is not easy to write!
