I have to say that the Japanese animators are amazing.
They not only have Naruto and Doraemon,
Jun Miyazaki of Castle in the Sky, Toshi Kon of Red Chili Pepper,
and violent pessimism like Cat Soup, as well as Building Block House Memories" such a soft sadness.
The old man touched the past because of a pipe,
so he dived into the building
layer by layer, opening up the dusty memories layer by layer.
In this small town where the water level is rising day by day,
they build up their own houses day by day,
and the past is gradually left under their feet.
The old man is smoking a pipe and staring at the scattered huts on the water from the window.
This strange scene makes people feel wide and alienated.
The loneliness and tranquility are magnified into the whole time and space, and they permeate everywhere
. In the building block house.
When the elderly fall asleep every day, do they think that they are sleeping on top of memories?
Memories of building blocks, memories are flooded by the tide of time.
So moving, I cried.
