"The Future of the Future" is an animated film directed by Mamoru Hosoda and produced by Studio Map. It was released at the Cannes Film Festival in France on May 16, 2018 and in Japan on July 20, 2018. According to Baidu Encyclopedia, the film tells the story of a four-year-old boy who meets his sister "Future" from the future, and grows into a real brother after a magical adventure.
I have to say that this summary is both artistic and heart-warming, with a small and fresh poster with the sky as the background. Before I saw it, I thought it might be a girl who came from the future and met her 4-year-old brother, and then my brother I learned a lot in the process of getting along with my sister, and I also had a deep relationship. The story of the two parting with tears and making an appointment to meet in the future.
After watching it, I found out that it may be that I was too impressed with "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time". This movie is actually a 98-minute promo for the second child. Accepting the education of "family" love and accepting a means and method for the existence of the "future" of my sister, I just want to say "the director's routine is deep, I want to go back to the countryside".

In the corner of a certain city, there is a small family with small trees growing in a small courtyard. This was originally a happy family of three, with a father who is an architect, a beautiful and gentle mother, and a cute train fan boy Xiaojun, and they also raised a yellow puppy Yuko, but one day the family Ushered in a new life, Xiaojun also ushered in his sister.
Just like the vast majority of families with two children, the birth of the second child is often accompanied by changes in the family. The father, who was busy with work and had no time to take care of Xiaojun, returned home and started freelance work. He began to learn a little bit how to take care of babies and do housework. ; The mother who once took Xiaojun full-time at home returned to work and became a professional woman with both hands in the working family; and the first child Xiaojun, who had collected thousands of love all his life, found that the arrival of his sister not only took away the love of his parents. , and also took away the attention of relatives, so Xiaojun changed from being curious about the baby at the beginning to refusing to accept and hating his sister. The specific performance is that he makes a lot of noise when he is unhappy, plays pranks on his sister, and tries to hit him with toys. My sister, refuses to be obedient and littering, is reluctant to learn new skills, and even "runs away from home".
Parents have nothing to do with Xiaojun's attitude, and like many parents, they emphasize "you are a big brother" when educating their children, but their energy is limited and time is limited. Besides work, they have to take care of the newborn, and they are already exhausted. They don't pay enough attention to the older children, but Xiaojun's parents don't seem to be aware of Xiaojun's emotional changes. It is not an ordinary tree. Every time Xiaojun runs into the courtyard in anger, there will always be adventures, and these adventures are the so-called time-travel, which taught Xiaojun how to accept the second child and become a real brother.

On the first adventure, Xiaojun met a mysterious uncle. The uncle directly pointed out Xiaojun's inner jealousy for his sister, and made Xiaojun face his dissatisfaction because he was ignored by his parents and saw his parents take care of his sister. angry emotions. When Xiaojun saw the dog toy on the ground, he pranked the uncle's tail and stuck it on him. It turns out that this mysterious uncle is actually Xiaojun's dog - Youzi, if I knew that our dog looked like this, I probably wouldn't Touch him again.
In the second adventure, Xiaojun met his younger sister "Future" from the future, and was accused and taught a lesson by her sister. The two worked together with Yuko, and under the premise of not being discovered by the father who worked at home, he used the person who prayed for blessings. Occasionally put it away, because it is said that one day late, the girl in the family will marry a year later. During this process, it was unexpectedly discovered that Xiaojun was actually a trembling M. In the future, he wanted to threaten Xiaojun to help collect the dolls by tickling, but Xiaojun enjoyed it very much, and asked to come again after the dolls were put away. . . It seems that growing up is estimated to be a sister control.
On the third adventure, Xiaojun met his mother when he was a child who was writing letters and crying with emotion on the side of the road. He stepped forward to comfort him, and went home with his mother. The two of them made a mess of things in the house together. When grandma came back, his mother asked Xiaojun to leave through the back door, and he was scolded by Xiaojun's grandmother very badly, but after returning home, Xiaojun learned from his mother how to write a letter and put it in his mother's shoes, and asked his mother to buy him a wanted A bike, but probably a dislike of tidying up and a tendency to mess things up, which is mostly hereditary. .
On the fourth adventure, Xiaojun met his great-grandfather in his youth. The great-grandfather took him on a horse and a motorcycle, and told him that everything is difficult at the beginning, whether it is riding a horse, riding a bicycle or flying a plane, as long as he learns the same and other things It's all figured out. People have to look forward, not just their feet. This gave Xiaojun courage. With these Xiaojun, he learned to ride a bicycle alone, and his parents are proud of him. But the grandfather is too handsome, and he has to compete with the girl he likes when he hurts his leg. If he wins, he has to marry him. .
On the fifth adventure, Xiaojun wanted to run away from home. Not only did he meet his grown-up self in the hut, but he also took the Shinkansen to Tokyo, which will be the largest station in Tokyo in the future. There are many strangers coming and going. Jun got lost and went to the Lost and Found Office, and was asked the names of his parents, but Xiaojun didn't remember, nor did he remember the names of his grandparents. Jun escaped from the car and saved the future who was almost sucked into the car, and admitted that he was the brother of the future. The people at the Lost and Found Office found the future "Future", and the future took his brother into the magical tree. It turned out that the tree was like a collection hall, and their whole family's affairs were stored there like cards, Xiaojun There I saw my father who learned to bike when I was a child, my mother holding a swallow who was bitten by a cat, Yuko who was still beside her mother dog, my grandma who agreed to my grandfather's proposal, my grandfather who was injured by a bomb, and the future when she grew up. The self and the future, Xiaojun returned home and shared bananas with the future who was still a baby. The parents were packing up the things for the outing and lamented that they did not expect them to become what they are now. .

This movie is still very heartwarming in terms of the simple daily depiction of a family, but the whole plot looks inexplicably embarrassing. Saying that it is a promo for a second child is really a rant, but after watching it, you will not have any thoughts of yearning for siblings or wanting to have a second child. , During the whole process, parents basically did not play any role. Xiaojun seems to be inexplicably sensible in time travel. He grows up once every adventure, but in reality, this kind of second child problem is not so easy to solve. If time travel really exists, I will I think it might be an important means for parents to make their children accept that they are going to have a second child.
It is said that the sister's name "Mirai" in the movie is the name of the director Hosoda Mori's own daughter. The reason why the male protagonist is set as a 4-year-old boy is because Hosoda Mori's son was only 4 years old when he conceived the story. In his view, age 4 is the age where seriousness meets hedonism. On the Shiraishi Mengge originally auditioned for the role of "Future", but eventually dubbed the 4-year-old boy in the film, but the girl's voice was quite dramatic. In general, the idea of the story is not bad, but unfortunately the script is a bit lackluster, and the overall main line is a little confusing. The most embarrassing thing is Xiaojun's acceptance of the second child. Personally, I don't like this movie very much. I don't know if people who have seen it have the same idea. Those who haven't seen it can decide whether to watch it or not.
