"Beyond the Cloud, The Promised Land" is an early work of Makoto Shinkai, which was released in 2004. In this period, Makoto Shinkai's works are far from mature, and there are great problems in the narrative of this film. The painting style of this film is beautiful, the story is poetic, and it is uniquely imaginative. It can be said to be a good display of vision and literature, and it is also very powerful in emotional portrayal. There is a lack of control. Many times, the lack of story information is ignored for the beauty of the picture. There are many scenes and more information needs to be explained, but Makoto Shinkai will give up these opportunities to tell a good story for the beauty of the picture. It is also the reason why many people say that this film is unwatchable and difficult to understand. The structure of this film is actually very full, but if the information given is insufficient, the audience will not be able to understand the whole story at all. Many people say that reading the novel will better understand the whole film, but if a film and television work needs to read the original work Understand, there is no doubt that it is a film and television work with a big problem in narrative. But overall, the film is really good. 8 points.
