Three years of sharpening a sword - the future of the future

Friedrich 2022-04-19 09:03:16

Hosoda Mamoru's works are all three years of sharpening a sword, whether it is long or short, and the time is long, like Evangelion, and the scalp is numb, and the time is short, like Marvel's one a year. I like this rhythm very much. In 2006, I was still a primary school student. I remember that it was in 2009 that I had the opportunity to see the girl who traveled through time and space. Not long after the same year, I watched Summer Wars. In 2009, I was already a junior high school student. When I was 12 years old, I had Wolf's Children Rain and Snow. When I was 12 years old, I was still in high school, so I didn't watch it until the summer vacation. When I was in college in 2015, I gave birth to a monster child, but I didn't watch it until the first half of 2016. When I was in college in 2018, the future of the future was born, and I didn't watch it for the first time, but only recently.

I hope next time, in 2021, I can have the opportunity to see the new works for the first time.

All of Hosoda Mori's works will add a touch of unrealistic color. Unlike the pure fairy tales of Hayao Miyazaki, there are no chinchillas, no white dragons, no moving castles and scarecrows. Hosoda Mori just adds a little fairy tale to reality, just like eating a little bit of wasabi dipped in sashimi, Brings a feeling different from reality.

In 2006, the girl who traveled through time and space joined "Future" and "Traveling". The main stage is still campus life.

In 2009, the summer battle, joined the "virtual reality". It's not AR, it's just the kind of unrestrained combat, high school students manipulating MSI (Japanese high school students: ???), and all kinds of unrealistic factors that make it feel like a fairy tale. The main stage is still to celebrate the birthday of the great-grandmother.

In 12 years, the children of the wolf, Rain and Snow, joined the "Yokai". The main stage is the comfortable life of raising children in the countryside.

In 15 years, the children of monsters also joined the "Yokai". The main stage of this part is divided into the world and the demon world. Although it is a bit far-fetched, the world is still not left behind.

18 years, the future of the future, joined "travel" and "resonance". The main stage is still the life of the family.

In 21 years, what kind of surprise will Mamoru Hosoda bring us? It may not be a surprise, but it will always make people's eyes shine.

The protagonist's name is Xiaoxun, and the sister's name is the future. In addition, it seems that the dog's name is Xiaoyou, and the great-grandmother's name is Xiaohui. But when it comes to my great-grandmother, I am a little envious. I envy my great-grandfather. I can get my great-grandmother in a run, although I understand that the main reason is that she is handsome!

Timeline is a very important element of this game. If the great-grandfather didn't scream and escape after the plane bombed; if the great-grandmother didn't agree to race with the great-grandfather on that hot summer day; if the mother still liked cats so much; if the father didn't learn to ride a bicycle by himself... It's all a coincidence. If one of these coincidences doesn't happen, then Xiaoxun and the future will never meet. Xiaoxun may be someone else's brother, the future may be someone else's sister, and his father may be someone else's Dad and mom may also be other people's mothers, and Xiaoyou may be adopted by others... At the end of the film, tell the children that being together as a family is the most important thing. It doesn't mean that parents don't love them when they have a sister. But because there is a new member in the family, parents just have to carve out time to take care of their sister.

My favorite part of the film is probably their home. Sure enough, there is an architect's father who is different. It is too warm to live in such a house! Although the floor area is not large, and the courtyard is only a small part, it is a very narrow space compared with the neighbors. However, the house on this slope increases the sense of transparency. Think about it, if this kind of When a long house is placed on the flat ground, there is no aesthetic feeling at all. This kind of long ramp house can only have a feeling of "wow, my house has four or five floors" when it is built on the ramp. On the contrary, if I forcibly build a flat house on the ramp, I feel that it is a waste of this unique condition. Of course, the premise is that there is an architect father or mother, or someone who specializes in designing. But it doesn't seem to be in line with my country's national conditions, hahaha.

Xiao Xun's reaction to his sister's arrival is similar to that of many children, jealous, hateful, and unable to like it. After all, someone suddenly came to share his original exclusive love from his parents, and 100% suddenly became 50% even because of his sister. When you are younger, 50% of yourself will shrink to 40%. Who can accept it? A month's salary was originally 5,000 yuan and suddenly 2,500 yuan was cut off for you and then 2,000 yuan was given to you, and the 3,000 yuan was deducted because of a colleague in the same position, who can accept it?

Every time Xiaoxun is sad, he will encounter novel things in the courtyard. The humanized Xiaoyou, the future, the mother in the past, the great-grandfather in the past, and the self in the future are all new to the four-year-old, and it is these things that give him the opportunity to change. For example, I don't like the new born sister, but suddenly I see that the future sister has become a cute little sister, and she will poke her in the waist to make herself laugh like a silly X, it doesn't seem to be so annoying anymore. Poor male protagonist, did you suddenly wake up to something incredible? Anyway, I feel uncomfortable every time I get squeaked by others. Why do you actually like this feeling, Xiaoxun? (manual dog head)

Mothers who are not good at organizing, and fathers who are not good at taking care of children, are all slowly changing themselves in life. No one in this world is ready to be a parent. It is not necessary to have basic parenting books to become a qualified parent. Everyone takes it step by step. Maybe some people still don’t know how to get along with their children after they become adults. But the child has grown up.

I've always liked Mamoru Hosoda's work, so I give it five points. Although many people think that this work is not good, but what Hosoda Mamoru wanted to show to the audience, he told us one by one through the screen, the detail processing is very good, this is enough. Although I didn't know until after reading it that Mamoru Hosoda had a second daughter, maybe I just wanted to express my feelings through this work. In fact, this work is not very personal. Although it is said that the father in the work may be Mamoru Hosoda who is talking about himself and will not take care of the children, or that the future will be the name of his daughter directly, but if it is purely to tell the world that he has If you have a second child, it would be too flamboyant to do so. Audience: Why did the director tell the world that he had a second child by producing an animation of acceptable quality in three years? You must know that if it is someone else, tens of thousands of retweets on Weibo are enough, and in just a few days, the entertainment news will be known all over the world. In fact, the process of making this work is also a process of getting along with the family. All the scenes and all the ideas can't be decided by taking a head. Maybe they have been together for a long time, and they have been deleted and modified for a long time. a scene. For example, the house on the ramp, such as the story of each crossing, is shown in front of us, but the production team may have dozens of ideas, and there are still 10 or 20 left in the screening, and these 20 are in Some were abandoned during the production process, and some may be abandoned at the final release. The workload behind it is far beyond the imagination of the audience.

I hope that in a certain sunset, I can also run a race with a girl, and then fall under a tree to confess.
