Behind the happy ending is the ruthless impact of reality

This is the middle step of Makoto Shinkai's trilogy, and it should be said that it is the middle stage of this personality genius's understanding of his first love. His animation dictates a depressingly sentimental style. The agreed place beyond the cloud is no exception. Under the gorgeousness of Happy Ending, there are bursts of sadness: Sayuri wakes up at the cost of his own feelings for Hiroki and the memories of the three of them, and returns to Fujisawa's side. Although Fujisawa likes Sayuri, but it is not as vigorous as the stars and seconds. It is difficult to say that such a youthful sprouting mixed with friendship is a lasting emotion. Under the deep shot at the beginning of the movie, Fujisawa is more like waking up from a dream, just like Sayuri's waking up. Outside the camera, it is not difficult to imagine that the maintenance between him and Sayuri is like that of the tower, which achieved a climax through the tower, and gradually faded as the tower collapsed.
From the voice of the stars to the speed 5 inside. The main line of the relationship is:
Xing: The spiritual relationship is still full and beautiful, but the body is separated in time and space---" Cloud: The two were able to reunite and stay together, but the love of the heroine and the memories and friendship agreed upon by the three were not. What was left in the parallel world and returned to reality was nothing but an illusory shell. --- "Seconds: The sudden reunion after 13 years left only the various fetters of childhood and the longing for the beauty of nothingness.

Three stories, three different first loves, three different endings. Xin Haicheng's view of feelings may become more and more profound, or it may be gradually numb by the hasty society, vows and eternity are not shaken by the time and space of life and death, but will perish with the erosion of a long life, and finally only the invisible remains. Bit by bit, buried deep in my heart.

Makoto Shinkai's animations and beautiful longings are all drafts for the lonely ending. No matter how vigorous, it will eventually return to the original point, which is embarrassing.
