As the title.

I don't watch movies a lot in Japan, but maybe more than ten times. The Japanese have a very good habit of watching movies, that is, they don't leave until the movie credits are finished. I think it's a respect for the hard work of the production team.

I've never seen a situation like this one where so many people left halfway through.

I can understand them, because the protagonist, who is about four years old, was screaming and screaming all the time. No, it's actually the aunt who dubs the four-year-old boy who is trying to imitate the boy's voice and yell. My head almost exploded halfway through.

But I didn't leave halfway through. After all, I watched pv before. In pv, it said that the younger sister who is less than one year old "future" will grow into jk and then travel back to promote the development of the story. At the beginning, jk played once or twice, but the reason was very confusing, and the things he did were also very confusing. Left before seeing enough jk, sorry for my fare.

And then...and then no more. what about jk? Isn't the title of the movie "Future of the Future"? What about the future? Seeing that the four-year-old boy learned to ride a bicycle, suddenly ran to his uncle's house to ride a motorcycle, suddenly got on a train and got lost at the station. What about future roles?

Looking at it from beginning to end, I feel that this is a story of a bear child gradually learning to take responsibility and take care of his sister. Not to mention that jk didn't show up much in the future, and played little role in this process; how did these changes happen in the bear child? Is it relying on his dreamlike experiences? In other words, he matured only through autosuggestion?

Or if those experiences are not dreams but reality, then the motivations of all the participants are completely irrelevant. What's more, these experiences are still separate pieces, is it so difficult to write a complete story?

Someone mentioned that the picture is beautiful. Okay, is "Future of the Future" more beautiful than "Your Name"? Excuse me, is "Future of the Future" more beautiful than "Spring Night is Short, Let's Go Girls"? Is "Future of the Future" more beautiful than "Shape of Sound"? (I don't even want to mention "Leeds and the Blue Bird")

Someone mentioned the finer details. OK, is "Future of the Future" more detailed than "Your Name"? Is "The Future of the Future" more detailed than "The Spring Night is Short, Girls Go Forward"? Is "Future of the Future" more detailed than "Shape of Sound"? (I don't even want to mention "Leeds and the Blue Bird")

Someone mentioned being imaginative. Okay, this time I don't have to mention anyone else's work. May I ask whether the imagination of "Future of the Future" has improved or regressed compared to "Summer Wars"? The station section is really good, but the plot of that section itself doesn't make sense, and the imagination can't talk about it.

Someone who has mentioned parenting experience will understand. Okay, if that's the case, please don't use jk as a gimmick to promote it, and state "please watch this film after your second child, sir".

Also, I actually don't quite understand why Grandpa (Zeng) was set as a World War II veteran.

After talking for so long, I was actually shocked when I saw the rating of 7.0. The level of this animation is far from the passing line, how can it still have a 7.0 rating. Looking at the comments carefully, I feel that what everyone said is actually very pertinent. The opinions are mainly based on criticism, and they also involve all aspects that make me feel uncomfortable. But after everyone finished criticizing, they all gave three or four stars very kindly, which made me not quite understand.

The Japanese side is also promoting the film with "Your Name"-level announcements.

Everyone is really kind to Supervisor Hosoda Mamoru.

So be it.

    Mamoru Hosoda must be a good parent. In his mind, "growing up" is an experience of mystery and spirituality, a connection between the past and the future. After every setback, the child heals himself in his own way in the courtyard. Grow up, not crawl between your parents' slaps and growls, corporal punishment and cold eyes. The audience's expectations are wrong, right? This time it's not "Summer Wars" or "Monster's Children", there are strong enemies and threats from other worlds that need to be solved, Xiaoxun is facing himself, and what he has to solve is himself and himself. Those hurdles that I can't overcome, the appearance of a second child, learning to ride a bicycle, the color of shorts, etc., of course adults can't understand that these things are villains for children, just like they can't understand why Hosoda Mori made such a private work. . The style of several memory clips is too beautiful, the rainy town where my mother loves the most. It's a pity that the last lineage map was suddenly forced into the kind of network tree representation that Hosoda likes, which is a bit boring.

    There are details, but somehow it doesn't impress me very much, the chicken soup at the end is a bit bland. I don't really understand the plot setting of collecting the doll, can't Xiao Xun take his father to collect it? Can't you get some of the sticky little training yourself? The plot is a bit sloppy.

  • 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.
