The film itself is not to preach science and technology, but to connect dreams, love, and friendship with sci-fi themes. The new works pay attention to details, no matter their age or science and technology, they are just the background for both dreams and love, and they can't tell you what dreams and love are right away. I don't think people will read comics like this. Actually, I want to say two points. One is that they started dreaming in high school to make a plane to go to the tower. In this regard, it tells us that there are The dream has to work hard to realize, pay attention to one detail, the error of the version check, the assembly 3 years ago. This shows that their dreams have been working hard, and the affection for the heroine highlights the subtle changes in their relationship. Pay attention to the scene of playing the piano before the plane takes off, which shows that both have love for girls, but the former is more profound. In fact, it is nothing more than two themes: dreams and love. Start with the details, don't get entangled in everything other than the scene, including the era, technology is actually a foil.

Sayuri Sawatari: This might sound weird, but... do you promise not to laugh?
Takuya Shirakawa: What is it? I won't laugh.
Sayuri Sawatari: Then I'll tell you. It's... about this dream I've been having lately.
Takuya Shirakawa: [after some time in the train] Big towers? Like the Union's?
Sayuri Sawatari: No... they're distorted, and have this weird shape. There are lots of other towers around the one I'm on. I don't know how, but I know that each of those towers is another world, different dreams that this world has. I can't move from that place, and I'm all alone and so lonely. And when I think that my heart is going to disappear... I see a white plane in the sky
Takuya Shirakawa: A white plane?
Sayuri Sawatari: Yeah.
Takuya Shirakawa: Then...
Sayuri Sawatari: That's where my dream ends.

Tomizawa: For the past twenty-five years... that tower has been a part of the scenery, and has been symbolic of many things. Symbolic of the state, war, people, or even despair and admiration. How someone interprets the tower depends on which generation they're from. But we all see it as something we can't reach or change... and as long as we see it that way, this world will not change.
