From playing the game "The Legend of Heroes 5 Seas: The Threshold Song", I have liked the scene meticulous writing of Director Shinkai. Although I didn't realize that he was a director until I got to college, I undoubtedly admire this director very much. I think He and Jin Min are two types of directors, but they are both hardworking.
"The Voice of the Stars" is undoubtedly a work in which the director is looking for his own position and style. From this work, it can be seen that the prose narrative style of director Shinkai has been very stable, just like "She and Her Cat". In order to find his own style, Director Xin Haicheng began to try the combination of machine warfare and small freshness.
It is still a story that is calmly narrated, it is still an unspoken love, and it is still a touch of sadness. This work affirms: love is not affected by distance. Yeah, what an innovative center. Both the scene and the idea gave high marks.
However, let’s spit it out below, 1, so how can I receive a text message in 8 years? Where is the signal? I think it's acceptable to have advanced technology, but how can someone make a cell tower in a no-man's land? 2. Poor character design. Compared to the scene, the characters are really rough. They have big round faces, crappy eyes, and the proportion of facial features that will be drawn in a few minutes. The character design is very similar to "Evangelion", but not as good as it. 3. There is no mechanical design of any features, neither aliens nor main body. I don't think I need to explain anything. 4. The walking rhythm of the body is really bad!
A 24-minute prose narrative work, director Makoto Shinkai has found his own narrative style in "The Voice of the Stars", he has also tried the fighting style, and the character design is also being explored. When it comes to "Five Centimeters Per Second", the scene is extreme, and the characters are no longer rough. It is a peak work. In "The Other Side of the Cloud", the scene is more refined, and the characters have not changed much. It can only be said that it is a work that continues to stabilize its reputation. In "Children Chasing the Stars", the characters already have their own style. Although they are more popular, they are not very attractive. The excellence of the starry sky and the illusory scenes in the underground are all highlights, but this time, the prose style is not used. This belongs to him. Classic niche style, not like Hollywood popcorn movies, but a bit of Ghibli storytelling, cute girls, discovering magical animals, and starting a magical journey.
To apply the comments of netizens, I feel that I have taken the road of Hayao Miyazaki, but I have not surpassed Goro Miyazaki (son of Hayao Miyazaki).
It's not that I want to blackmail Director Xin Haicheng, because I really like this director. He has already reached the extreme in one aspect, but he has begun to find a new path, much like Director Zhang Yimou. Always dissatisfied, I hope Director Shinkai Makoto can learn the dramatic narrative style through experience. Become a representative of popular culture~
