Known as the "successor of Hayao Miyazaki", Hosoda Mamoru's new work, the first work "Future of the Future" to land in mainland theaters, is heart-warming, healing, and tear-jerking, focusing on a reality that is more common in reality, but few people pay attention to The question is, what kind of psychological changes will the first child have when the second child arrives.

The film has a beautiful style and a touching plot. It travels through time and space through a different world, and presents a more macro blood story from a micro perspective.

Many children can't accept that their parents' love for them is separated by their younger siblings. Yet these are only fleeting, initial thoughts. As they grow older, most children will find that their younger siblings are their closest relatives in this world besides their parents, and they are irreplaceable existences.

    There is absolutely no need to make it into an animation. The exaggerated expressions and actions of the characters and the design and presentation of fantasy scenes in the film only have the opposite effect of destroying the daily situation. However, even if it is made into a live-action movie, it is just a creative idea for a hypermarket that packs and sells universal values. The story setting that this kind of family bond makes people grow up overnight is extremely far-fetched.

    The five stars are because I am incapable of resisting the theme of traveling through time and space, and I cannot resist the "present" that is intertwined with the future and the past. The little male protagonist has traveled through time and space several times and met family members from different periods. Because it is impossible to determine which family member will appear, there are surprises everywhere and innocence everywhere. The authenticity of the children made by Hosoda Mamoru is too high. This is the highlight. The Japanese are really good at making small details of characters and trivial life.

Mirai quotes

  • Mirai: You did it again. You tried to hit me with your bullet train even after Mom told you not to.

    Kun: But it wasn't a bullet train!

    Mirai: You aren't supposed to use a bullet train to hit people.

    Kun: It was a Super Azusa.

    Mirai: [angrily] I don't care what kind it was!

    [scoffs]

    Mirai: And why can't you be a little nicer to Mom?

    Kun: I don't know, I just can't.
