At night, Mitsuha began to tangle ropes at home with her grandmother and younger sister. It turned out that the Mitsuba family was the important heir to the Shouzhen Shrine. Every year, they used their own knotted ropes and some tributes to worship the local gods. Later in the day, Sanye and her younger sister will worship and make tributes, which are not ordinary chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep. But a kind of rice wine called mouth chewing wine, chewing is the chewing that chews slowly. How to do this kind of wine is to take a mouthful of rice from Sanye, and then chew it slowly in your mouth, let the rice and your saliva ferment naturally in your mouth, and then spit it out. It becomes a mouthful of wine. Wow, I feel a little disgusting myself at this point.
Mitsuha's grandmother said that chewing wine is equivalent to dedicating half of your own soul to the gods, so that the gods can bless them in another world. While these rituals may seem sacred and solemn, they are certainly strange. But for San Ye, who just entered high school, all of this seemed very strange. In such a small town without even a coffee shop, she couldn't stand it. Finally, on her way home from the sacrifice, she couldn't help it. Shout out your heart's desire to the night sky, I'm going to Tokyo! I want to be a handsome guy in Tokyo!
Just after the shouting, it was the turn of the film's male lead, Taki, who also woke up on a sunny morning. The male protagonist's name is just one word, Taki, three o'clock water and a dragon that dances with flying phoenixes. Taki is a high school boy living in the big city of Tokyo. When he woke up, everything around him felt very strange. It turned out that in Taki's body, it was not Taki, but Mitsuha. That is to say, Mitsuha, a high school girl from Shishou Town, and Taki, a high school boy from Tokyo, exchanged bodies, and this exchange of bodies is not something that can't be changed back after the exchange. Rather, it is full of random variables. Then they gradually found out. They may exchange bodies 2 to 3 times a week, in order not to affect each other's normal life and social circle. They agreed to Fado chapters, for example, after exchanging bodies, they could not touch their sensitive parts, and then they had to pay attention to their sitting postures. Also, don't waste money, and don't change your social circle. And in order to prevent the other party from forgetting what they did when they changed their bodies the day before, they should write diaries on their mobile phones and read them for the other party who changed their bodies to avoid unnecessary troubles. They also exchanged phone numbers that they could call each other in an emergency.
So, have their contracts with many chapters come to fruition? Of course it's impossible. As long as Taki changed to Mitsuha's body, he started to touch his chest in the morning, and he couldn't stop. After all, it's an adolescent boy, understandable. Moreover, relying on his character as a boy, Taki has made rapid progress in basketball and various sports, and has also attracted the love of girls, and there are even girls who write love letters to Mitsuha. Of course, there are also many boys who started chasing Mitsuha. But these are all thanks to Taki after the body swap. This credit should be called double quotes. And Mitsuha, who changed to Taki's body, found that Taki had a crush on a girl he met during his part-time job. So Mitsuha successfully attracted the girl's attention by relying on her gentle and lovely actions, and they still dated from time to time. This credit is also attributed to the three leaves after the body exchange.
Na Taki and Mitsuha are of course dissatisfied themselves. After switching bodies, they actually began to change their social circles and even began to change their life trajectory, which was more and more different from what they thought before. But the most important thing is that they gradually began to have feelings for each other. Taki began to find that he liked this girl from Shishou Town, and Mitsuha also felt that Taki began to become a very important person in his life.
So, one lonely night, Taki called Mitsuha. At this time, Mitsuha, who was guarding the town, also called Taki.
But how could things go so smoothly? The phone numbers on both sides are empty. This adds to the mystery of the matter itself. And on the night when they couldn't get through on the phone, Taki and Mitsuha never exchanged bodies again. In order to solve the mystery of everything, and in order to really meet Mitsuha, Taki decided to find Mitsuha himself. With the memory of his body swapping, Taki drew the scenery of Shishou Town, and then used Google Maps and other information. In this way, he began to search for Mitsuha's hometown, which he did not know the exact address. After all kinds of setbacks and repetitions, Taki finally found Mitsuha's hometown, Shoujin. But what surprised him was that as early as three years ago, the fragments of a once-in-1200-year comet that had passed through the earth just fell into the town of Shishou. In other words, Shishouzhen was razed to the ground three years ago because of the fall of the comet fragments. More than 500 people died. The news and reports were very sensational at the time. At this time, Taki also remembered the news from three years ago. But the exchange of bodies with Mitsuha only happened in the past few weeks. What Taki saw after he swapped Mitsuha's body was the same as before. Then Taki went to the archives to find the death list of more than 500 people in Shishou Town. It was found that Sanye, who had exchanged bodies with him, was also on the death list. Taki felt a chill down his back and goosebumps all over the floor. What has actually happened! ?
Just when Taki was confused and couldn't find the answer, he began to notice that his hand was tied with a red knot. This knot was the red knot used to tie his hair, and the magic was that this knot was It was given to Taki by a mysterious person three years ago, but Taki couldn't remember who gave it to him. He also suddenly recalled a clue at this time. It is the chewing wine made by Sanye, that chewing wine, if it really stores half of Sanye's soul, maybe if you find that chewing wine, you can find the answer to the question.
So on the next morning, Taki relied on his memory of exchanging his body before, went over the mountains and over the mountains, and found the shrine where Mitsuha was stored. Finally, I found the chewing wine stored in the three leaves, and the bottle of the chewing wine was already covered with moss. This proves one point, the Mitsuha that Taki exchanged bodies with was indeed Mitsuha three years ago, and the Taki that Mitsuha exchanged bodies was Taki three years later. That is to say, they not only exchanged bodies, but exchanged bodies in staggered time and space. So I can't understand why they call each other with empty numbers, why they often can't remember what happened when they exchanged bodies, and they feel like they were dreaming when they exchanged bodies, because there is a memory logic of happening and happening in time and space. For example, what happened three years ago can only exist in Taki's memory three years later after the exchange of bodies. This question has a certain philosophical nature, that is, which came first, the chicken or the egg. So here's the best part of the movie. So Taki carefully picked up Mitsuba's chewing wine, opened the bottle, presented a glass, and drank it all in one go.
Something magical happened. Taki began to enter the hallucination, Mitsuha's life began to unfold in Taki's mind, including Mitsuha's birth, Mitsuha's mother died of illness, his father was sad and desperate because of Mitsuba's mother's death, gave up family traditions, and embarked on a journey. Political path, and finally became the mayor of the department. And most importantly, Taki learned the cause of Mitsuha's death through an illusion. It was because the night the comet fragment fell, there was an event in Shishou Town, and the whole town gathered at the place where the comet fragment fell, including three leaf.
And because they drank Mitsuha's mouth-chewing wine, they staggered time and space again and exchanged bodies. What's even more amazing is that the day Taki switched to Mitsuha's body was the morning of the comet fragment falling. In other words, Taki can change history and change the tragedy by knowing the disaster that will happen in the future. So Taki begins to conceive a risky evacuation plan. He asked Mitsuha's good friends one to blow up the power plant in Shishou Town, and the other to broadcast, telling everyone that the explosion of the power plant would cause a forest fire, so everyone should rush to the shelter for temporary shelter, so as to avoid the casualties caused by the falling of comet fragments . But Taki too young too sample. Everyone didn't listen to his words. After all, it was very unconvincing. Everyone should eat, drink, and play. At this time, Taki, who was in Mitsuha's body, was thinking that if the real Mitsuha knew about this disaster and implemented an evacuation plan, he would definitely be able to convince everyone. When he thought of this, he suddenly realized that since Sanye and I have exchanged bodies now, then Sanye should be in my body now, and my body happens to be in Shishouzhen, which was destroyed three years later, so wait for me. After his body woke up, didn't Mitsuha see the destruction of Shishou Town three years later?
So Taki, that is, Mitsuha's body quickly ran to the shrine where the wine was being chewed, trying to see if the two could meet. At the same time, Mitsuha did wake up on Taki's body three years later. As expected, Mitsuha saw through Taki's body the appearance of the shattered appearance of Shishou-jin three years later. She instantly understood another myth that she had been perplexing herself. As we said before, Taki couldn't get through by calling Mitsuha, and Mitsuha couldn't get through when he called Taki, so Mitsuha decided to go from Shishou Town to Tokyo to find Taki three years ago. The day before the comet came, Mitsuha went to Tokyo to find Taki. But that was three years ago, Taki was still a junior high school student and didn't know Mitsuha at all. When Mitsuha introduced herself to Taki, she thought Taki would recognize her, but she didn't, so when she left in embarrassment, Mitsuha left Taki with the red knot that Taki had tied her hair, so the red knot that Taki had been wearing on his hand three years ago was what Mitsuha left for him when he went to Tokyo to find Taki.
Just when the confusion on both sides was resolved, Taki finally came to the location of the shrine, but the two could only hear the voice and couldn't see each other, because Taki was three years later, and Mitsuha was three years ago. Although the location is the same, the time is different. You can't abuse it, the farthest distance in the world, but that's it.
As mentioned earlier in the film, at dusk, when it is neither day nor night, it is also the time of reincarnation. At that moment, their bodies switched back, Taki was Taki, Mitsuha was Mitsuha. They finally met beyond time, beyond time and space.
But how short the twilight is, they also know that this time they have exchanged bodies, there should be no next time, and because of the confusion of time and space, what they experience in exchanging bodies will become more and more blurred like a dream. As for forgetting each other. So they decided to write their names on each other's hands so as not to forget. And Taki brushed a little cleverness at this critical moment. He didn't write his name on Mitsuha's hand, but wrote that he likes you. And when Mitsuha was about to write his name on Taki's hand, the dusk was over. They are separated again in time and space. This time, they have no way to contact each other anymore.
For Sanye, who returned to three years ago, the most important thing is to change the history and save the people in the town before the comet fragments hit, so she frantically ran to her father, the mayor of the town, and let her Father does an evacuation drill. escaped this disaster.
But as time passed, Taki and Mitsuha began to uncontrollably forget everything that happened when they switched bodies, and even forgot each other's names. I just vaguely feel that there was a certain period of time, a certain thing, I felt that I had done it, that it had happened around me, but I couldn't remember it. The most important thing is that they always feel that they are looking for someone, someone they can't forget and don't want to forget.
After five years, Taki graduated from University and became an office worker, and Mitsuha, who also became an office worker, came to Tokyo. They are looking for each other in the crowded Tokyo, and every time they meet inadvertently, they accidentally miss it.
But finally one day, they saw each other, and Taki summoned the courage to ask Mitsuha, have we met before? ! After saying this, the two of them burst into tears, and finally tossed and turned, and the two met in the crowded Tokyo. Although each other has lost all the memories of exchanging bodies, when I see each other, I feel that you are someone who must exist in my life.
Well, Makoto Shinkai's "Your Name" is finished, and I will talk about my feelings in the same way later. Because I didn't say the plot of the film in the order of the cartoon "Your Name". And when I said it, I also added some easy-to-understand explanations to make it easier for everyone to understand the logic of the complex plot behind. Many people will say that there are many loopholes in the back. For example, when the time is out of order, the hero and heroine should have known it long ago. Don't they have mobile phones? Don't they even show the year they are in after switching bodies? Even if the mobile phone does not show what happened around Don't they know everything about it? Yes, if you want to be entangled in these places, of course you can give countless examples to overthrow all the plot logic. But after all, this is not a hard science fiction film, and as long as the elements of time, space and space are involved, there will naturally be causal contradictions. It will not be expanded here. But one thing worth discussing is why I think it is set as the two sides starting to lose their memory and forget. According to the interview with director Shinkai Makoto, his original intention was to tell the confused and confused modern people, no matter what era you live in , they all doubted themselves and the authenticity of the world during their youth, so at that time, everyone experienced more or less strange things that they could not remember, so as to find their true self , but also to create the happiness you want.
So having said so much about the advantages of this film, of course, I also complained a little. It is the characteristic song of Director Makoto Shinkai to foreshadow the narrative technique. What does it mean, it is to play a song and then edit various scenes to bring the plot, and in this movie, it was used twice. I think it is frequent. After all, the plot of the film is better to develop the plot by relying on the impact of precipitation events on the characters. In terms of editing, there are some places that seem a bit abrupt. Especially in the precipitation of mutual liking between Mitsuha and Taki, there is no good precipitation. It felt like they were suddenly on good terms with each other. It may be because the narrative technique of the mv makes people feel that the plot is drifting by rather than events that affect the emotional direction of the other party.
So is this animation worth watching? Of course, the answer is to be sure and definitely not to miss this latest work of Makoto Shinkai.
