Before watching it, I heard that "Children Chasing the Stars" is a "Waterloo" work after "Second Five", and the box office reputation has both hit the streets. Because I like Makoto Shinkai, I did something I wouldn't do before and went to see a movie with bad reviews. This film tells the story of the heroine Asuna and the male teacher Morisaki, who went to Yagotai for the people they wanted to revive. The feeling after reading it is: this is an incomplete work, an immature work. There are a lot of out of place in the film, the narrative is incomplete and immature. The reason why the heroine follows the teacher is to resurrect the young Shun, this reason makes me hard to believe, because there is too little foreshadowing. In addition, the promotion of the plot is too blunt, some places can be said to be directly chaotic, and there are many illogical places, such as the teacher climbing down the cliff with his bare hands. In short, it is an incomplete film structure and immature film skills. Makoto Shinkai said that he was very happy when he made "Fan Xing". I think it was because of his joy in creation and his love for animated films. Step by step, I also saw the growth of Brother Cheng. Maybe "Fan Xing" is the mark of growth. 2017.3.9
