Just an art film

Impeccable picture,
melodious and ethereal violin,
in very curious accompanied by heavy fictional world

── This is the "other side of the clouds, the constraints of place" to our first impression

, however, in this a winning look Next, it’s just an empty story:
"Bound" (the meaning of agreement)

1. If you have studied a little Japanese, or watched Japanese film and television works for a few years,
you can see it at a glance: the whole article expresses an originally abstract word. Repeated narration, foreshadowing, and fiction (even the "parallel world" that does not hesitate to use soil to scum) until you accept his idea ─ ─ This kind of technique is a rotten method used in Japanese movies.
Maybe tonight you were moved by "binding" is the word, maybe the next morning felt somehow

this little wrist fact, with Nazi propaganda, MLM seminar is a reason ── ── parties often instill the idea that only in retrospect did he realize: " Is this something so remarkable?!"

2. The logic of the story narration is disappointing ─── Although logic is not a necessary condition for the success of a film (especially for animation works), it should not allow the audience to be unconstrained There is a sense of panic that "the story line is broken to pieces". Xinhaicheng's control at this point is far from the masters of storytelling such as Jinmin and Otomo.

Regardless of the plot and theme, this is an amazing art film-
after all, as long as the audience has something to

do , this film will be a success. But how long can an art film be moved?

    To be honest, not for anything else, but for Xin Haicheng's unique and excellent style of painting, I should also give a good review

The Place Promised in Our Early Days quotes

  • 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.
