Director, can we hire a screenwriter?

Director Hosoda Mori's past good works are inseparable from the royal screenwriter Sadoko Okuji. Once he takes the lead as a screenwriter, all kinds of shortcomings immediately appear: thin characters, sloppy plots, unclear themes... The story is fragmented, inexplicable, and lacks continuity.

The title of the film is [Future of the Future]. However, the future sauce did not show up for most of the whole drama. The plot of my mother and great-grandfather was very abrupt and seriously digressed.

What does it have to do with a dog becoming a person?

Is everything the imagination of the protagonist or super power?

What is the significance of the future sauce in the future? ?

Unable to justify it before and after, the protagonist howled + pissed from beginning to end, the mantra: I don't like XX the most! After saying this sentence, I immediately entered the delusional space to receive spiritual education, which made me embarrassed and cancer.

The adults are all preaching, educating the protagonist to accept his sister and caring for the family... Anyway, no matter how boring it is, it can't affect me at all. I thought it was a fantasy movie, but after watching it, I found out that it was a promo for the second child.

The movie started at 6:20, and it had been on for an hour and still had not entered the theme. I was so sleepy that I could only play with my mobile phone. The previous work [Son of the Monster] has exposed the weakness of Hosoda Mori who is not good at screenwriting, and the new work has not improved at all.

The Japanese movie レビュー website scored 2.5/5, and some Japanese commented: [What is this? There is no beginning or end of the story. The characters have no personality. The characters are all based on the delusions of a child, and the stories are like fragments. The character doesn't even step out of the house. Waste of money and time. But Tatsuro Yamashita's music is very good. 】I also think that the picture and music are also brilliant...

I met Director Mamoru Hosoda because of Episode 21 of One of the Gods of Digimon and the theatrical version [Our Game of War]. There is no doubt about your talent as a director, but you are really not suitable for writing stories. Please find a screenwriter next time, please. ?

Anyone who studies screenwriting can watch this work and feel what a failed script is. For family-themed animated movies with passing scripts, please refer to the next door [Dream Hunting Travel Notes].

    This time, Mamoru Hosoda is really disappointing!

    After leaving Okuji Sadoko, Hosoda's story is really indescribable... The end is barely pulled back a little, the front is too scattered and illogical...

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.

    Mirai: It's her one day off from work. She doesn't get many and she has to spend it fighting with you. Come on, try.

    Kun: [sniffling] I know... I'm not cute.

It's the summer you've all been looking forward to. Think of all the happy memories you could be making together. But instead you don't wanna go. Why is that?

    Kun: Uh... how do you know? Who are you?

    Kun (High Schooler): What's more important, the color of your pants or your memories? Well, it's your choice. Just go home and say you're sorry already.

    Kun: Uh...?

    [looks back in hesitation]

    Kun (High Schooler): Stop! Don't get on, 'kay?

    [whistle blows. Kun glowers at high schooler and bounds for train]

    Kun (High Schooler): No! Wait! Wait!

    Kun: [glowers at boy as the train pulls away]

    Kun (High Schooler): [gazing after it in disappointment] Little brat.
