Why "Your Name. "A tragedy?

Meteor itself has the meaning of "split"

I haven't remembered the names of the hero and heroine clearly until now, I'm very sorry... ========================================================================================================================= ============================= "Your name. ” is by no means outstanding in the private movie viewing experience, but the personal evaluation process of it is unique in the private movie history so far. After watching the movie around 1:00 a.m. on December 4th, I marked it with two stars, and sternly added, "I'm not good enough to think that the story is too messy, and I can't understand the story. My personal impression is not as good as "Fish Pond"" (Note: "Big Fish" Begonia", gave it three and a half stars with an encouraging meaning). At about 2:15 in the morning, I realized that I had made a mistake in a detail and the whole story could not be straightened out. I changed it to Samsung, but I still felt that it was "not as good as "Fish Pond". At around 3:30 in the morning, after a series of questions to myself about "why "Yah Who" is not as good as "Fish Pond", I came to the opposite conclusion that ""Yah Who" is obviously better than "Fish Pond", and changed it. Four stars (three and a half stars not included). So this article can also be called: Why I think "Your Name. is a tragedy and why did I go from failing to good to it in three hours? =========================== Nonsense ends dividing line ===================== =========== Why "Your Name. "A tragedy? In short, it is a story of rural and religious loss. At the beginning of the film, the focus is on rural towns: the scenery of the countryside, the people of the countryside, the traditions of the countryside, and so on. The image-shaping pens that can be reached like a small town "border town" are accurate and successful. When it comes to the heroine, the backward rural environment is just her restraint, and what she longs for is the life of a developed city like Tokyo. This town has no cafes, no long-term convenience stores, not even enough light. Her attitude to tradition is still shrouded in the eyes of her grandparents. Religious stories rubbed cocoons in her ears, and the innuendo of classmates kept her from focusing on traditional rituals.

When the exchange of bodies occurs, the antagonistic relationship between the city and the countryside is further unfolded. The urban landscape of Tokyo is in full bloom in Makoto Shinkai's writings. The rural elements are drastically reduced here, and some of the only ones have even become the unconscious admonitions of the urban cultural collective, such as the prohibition of dialect accents. Xin Haicheng throws out the concept of "generating spirit" in the following rural writing. "Spirit production" runs through almost everything in the world, defining the possibility of bending and folding time and space - and it has also become the final explanation for all the unreasonable plot developments in the future. It is the first real climax of the religious meaning in the film (the previous wine-making activities were more contradictory due to the discussion of classmates and the rejection of the heroine). The spirit-producing figurative core (or window through which revelation is communicated) is attached to a crater (perhaps not?) with a temple-like cave in the center. In addition to giving the audience a sense of grandeur in religious ceremonies, the circular shots presented many times are a figurative expression of the retrospective desire of human beings to the (circular) womb in Freud's writings. Although the significance of nature and religion is indescribable, the cave as an entity is still known to the ancestors and the heroine at this time, and also to the hero after the exchange.

The male protagonist is an energetic high school student in adolescence in the city. He is busy with studies and part-time work. The solace in life is the occasional gathering with friends in his spare time and his pure love fantasy for the female seniors during part-time work (personally, I think this is the life state of the male protagonist.) There is no more complete and centralized expression). At this moment, it has a longing for such a "divine" traditional culture. When visiting the exhibition on a date with a female senior, the word "nostalgia" and the pictures of the town add to the melancholy. In the process of "Metamorphosis", the male protagonist has a faint affection for the female protagonist. And this kind of emotion not only has the meaning of pure love, but also the city's attachment to the countryside after the symbolization and hopelessness. On the other hand, the female protagonist's affection for the male protagonist is still the approach of the countryside to the city in the modern sense, but lacks reflection on the meaning of tradition. Especially before the festival and temple fair, the heroine shortened the long hair she had always kept, and was closer to the appearance of the hero. This is the heroine's nostalgia for the hero, but it is also the "country" after a round of "city" parade. Submission and obedience to the modern trend.

The mutual pursuit of male and female protagonists has twists and turns due to the scattered time and space. Xin Haicheng pays a lot of attention to the male protagonist's "root-seeking" process here. The male protagonist crossed the mountain and returned to the crater remembered in the heroine's body. In the cave, he was guided by a clue-like red ribbon and the oracle of a mysterious mural, running through the heroine's life (this section must be directed to Xin Haicheng. I gave my knee, although it felt like a tribute to Jin Min). In the end, he discovered the truth that the heroine was far away in time and space, and the fruitless backtracking in the confusion of the urbanites reached its peak here. At this point supernatural forces are the only way to keep the story going. The male protagonist and the female protagonist swap bodies again, and finally save the villagers (10,000 words are omitted here). Then they met again in a corner of the city, telling us the pure love belief that "everything we meet is a long-awaited reunion".

However, after scrutinizing this process in detail, I am afraid that the ending will not be as memorable as the beautiful plot presented in the film. Taki's inner Mitsuha's rescue of the village after learning about the history is not the self-rescue of the village, but the external rescue of the village by the urbanites. Even in the process of rescue, the villagers are still in a state of ignorance, passivity, and the "political" force of urban tendencies. In short, in the process of salvation, apart from the confrontation between man and divine power, the rest is nothing but the wrestling of two different forces inclined towards the "city". And what is the result of salvation? First, the country's buildings (or traditional symbols) are still being destroyed. Second, rural teenagers still flock to towns (two women and two men choose to live in Tokyo). Third, after completing this series of rescues, the hero left only the remnants of his dreams. Even this remnant gradually faded in the following urban life. Time flies, and urban life is still hurried and peaceful. The male protagonist returns to the tired, filled and forever empty image of an urbanite at the beginning of the story. The film also faintly transitioned from the previous bright style to bleak and bizarre. Does anyone in the new generation of young people know about that temple-like crater? Is there anyone who can restore those ancient buildings that are already in ruins? Does anyone else recreate the ancient wine-making ritual and dedicate it to the gods? Can anyone else kneel in a temple and realize the soul and destiny of the village? (Maybe there is one hope left, that is Mitsuha's younger sister, Yotsuba. But Yotsuba has already begun to imagine the commercialization of divine wine in the previous story, so it is basically hopeless.) The hero and heroine are like the bizarre encounters in the girl's comics. , in front of the steps, all the "destined" emotions are concentrated in a few awkward and tender minutes, and then "your name", to the final period.

So, what is "your name"? Perhaps it is the original self that urbanites can no longer find, and this original self may be the village, so what is the name of the village? What are the religious beliefs in those village traditions? I am afraid that it has been gradually forgotten by the urbanites, leaving only a vague impression. Even if you say "your name", it still doesn't make sense. Ultimately we still have to go back to the mysterious religious force to re-examine this question. The "spirit" is the ultimate driving force of all the surreal possibilities of this story, and it is there from beginning to end - even if it is eventually forgotten, it still plays a role in the operation of everything. In this way, the coming of the meteor, the split of the meteor, and the encounter between the hero and heroine are all just fate, and even the hero and heroine will inevitably forget gradually after the whole "dream", which are all arranged by the gods. However, the ending of all "psychic" people before contacting the Gongshui family, regardless of the attitude of life and death, the ultimate religious tradition is preserved. After the three-leaf generation, it finally broke. If this is also the arrangement of the gods, then it will lead to a deeper level of despair-"the spirit of production" has long foreseen the demise of the demise of the village. Its role still exists in reality, but its legend can no longer be passed down. As a result, the "spirit of production" has completed the closure of self-cognition. No new mortal can truly hold a one-to-one and thorough identification. Recalling the setting of the 1200-year reincarnation, in the next reincarnation, will the lost villages and religious traditions be restored under the influence of divine power? The answer remains uncertain. In this way, you may be able to accept "your name" more or less. The tragic core of ", at least it is part of the hesitation outside the touching pure love.

Yet all of the above have a foundation upon which to build. That is the binary opposition between urban and rural symbols, as well as a series of value judgments with strong contrasts, such as the adhering tradition and modernity, emptiness and simplicity. Such a vision may seem limited, narrow and backward in today's artistic creation, and I personally don't appreciate it. But what puzzled me even more was the way the film was handled. In my opinion, those sensational feelings are a bit too blunt and blunt, and some emotional switches are even more confusing - such a way of handling, in this urban-rural contrasting thinking system, is exactly on the opposite side of the appeal of this tragic theme . In my opinion, this is also the most contradictory part of the film. Overall, this is my first Shinkai Makoto, and it's an unexpected, but very interesting experience to have experienced such twists and turns in its evaluation. I still look forward to him in the future. ===============Found it?
