250CM. "It seems, it's not that good."
This is my direct impression when I was 250cm away from Xinhaicheng. Both "Your Name" and "Miss Pei's Fantasy Castle", which were released on December 2 at the same time, seemed to be both green and environmentally friendly movies that were suitable for bringing children into the theater. But just like Miss Pei’s dark style, "Your Name" sets a card age group, starting from puberty and continuing to thirty or fifty years old, those innocent guys who have a youthful tail. It's just that I don't know whether I changed as an audience or as a creator he is always immersed in his own world. In the past, Xin Haicheng may be more applicable to the term "innocent". Now, I actually feel that "Your Name" is closer to "childish". The rubbing of chest stalks that have appeared many times is naturally to amuse the two-dimensional audience, but I am afraid that it is not so suitable for precocious children. When people say that "weather is the will of heaven", the body may become a secret.
Aside from Shinkai Makoto's painting style and heartfelt words, aside from the halo of Japanese box office masterpieces and topic movies, "Your Name" is still set as an animation of the house. The actor Taki doesn't know how to confess to a senior who is older than him. The boys and girls in the small town are still shy and red at any time. The film arranges a relationship story of a thousand miles of marriage between Taki and Sanye, who are divided into two time and space, but they have almost no rivals, so naturally they don't have to encounter the love of pure love movies in their hearts. Makoto Xin Haicheng had already settled down and borrowed the stem of the body exchange directly to complete the destined encounter. So don't be fooled by the comet and parallel world of the movie. "Your Name" is still a pure love movie. Some people say it talks about love at first sight, some people say it's you and me who come and go, it's better to know each other than to smile at each other. What it says is that I have already entered your body and are familiar with every corner of each other's body. I don't know your name. It's so naive. With the narration and the picture, this is already Xin Haicheng's production routine. But the theme song was played as soon as "Your Name" came up, and several rounds were sung at the end. I can't remember this kind of weird experience. When was the last time-maybe I was watching an old movie like "Dancing Girl of Izu". The theme song is hanging in the front, and the current audience is undoubtedly unfamiliar with this technique. Nowadays, in Hollywood movies, sometimes even the opening captions are omitted, and a name comes out. The idea of "Your Name" reminds me of a TV series where the theme song is sung every episode. I can't say that I am repulsive, but I am really not used to it in movie-going habits. The broadcast format of the melody with lyrics means that the emotional confession is too direct and quickly mobilized, and the lyrics are almost equivalent to the evaluation of the soundtrack, which is indeed too evasive. When "Your Name" was running, I actually thought of Geum Min. Especially compared to the "Millennium Actress" inspired by music melody, it is a free and holy flower that moves steadily and suddenly blooms. It's also about the theme of searching, and it's also about relying heavily on music. "Your Name" is a loud cry for love, hot and hot lyrics to express love, which is like holding a red rose in your hand. Putting aside the tactics for the time being, I personally would be more accepting of implicit internal show. This is the first point that feels strange, the song is popular, but the technique is too hard. The number of ways the comet hits the earth is Xin Haicheng's usual trick. Even in the commercials he made, a very subtle moment in life (the height of the bar, the back of his father, the road he has seen) will be associated with a major event of the whole world, all mankind and the whole universe. 150 The dream of Turkey in the year, connecting Eurasia, connecting to the world, connecting dreams. If you understand the relationship between small and big, you can read any piece of Xin Haicheng, including "Your Name".
This very "small" thing is often the most consistent with the size of the short film and the capacity of adolescence. It can be longer than the MV, but it's not easy to make a feature feature film. "Your World" has added Xin Haicheng's worldview. The director's intention may be to wake up the young generation through the comet catastrophe. Don't forget the horror of the 311 earthquake. I believe that in the face of disasters, everyone is a community of destiny—that is, we. Should bear, resist and change. However, at the end of "Your Name", we still have to arrange an ending where all encounters in the world are reunion after a long time, but it is more like what mainstream movies need, and the reunion after saving the world. I would understand that it is a cliche, time-taken, and very young youth love story. There is also the biggest selling point of the movie, the high-intensity filter of the Xinhaicheng model, as an animation scene to watch on the big screen, or a reliable attraction, but it is no stranger to an iron fan like me, not to mention this movie has repeatedly paid tribute. Xin Haicheng himself in the past. As for the selling point of popular commercial body swaps, to put it more tacky, it is no different from the male disguise in a Hong Kong comedy. The success of "Your Name" is not Hayao Miyazaki's "Spirited Away", but Disney's "Frozen" that sings and sings, runs and runs, and is beautiful. Its characters are thin, and the interaction between the two time and space is superficial and can't be studied deeply. Therefore, "Your Name" is not a new breakthrough, and Shinkai Makoto is not the successor of Ghibli and Japanese animation. The full stop in the title should be regarded as the full stop Xin Haicheng has explored over the past ten years. He achieved the business success he dreamed of. He finally let Japanese audiences, Chinese audiences, and audiences all over the world know his name. Xin Haicheng.
I've watched Hosoda Mamoru's "Summer Battle" at the Film Academy and "The Sea on the Red Flower Park" at the Shanghai Film Festival, but it is indeed the first time I have seen popular Japanese big-name animations in mainstream theaters.
The Japanese animation films introduced this year are all theatrical series animations except for the "Parasite Beast" which is the standard version of Heyi Dragon. "Your Name" is the only single animation, and it is also the latest work of Makoto Shinkai, who is the main original brand. For a long time, Xin Haicheng is like an artistic talent immersed in the world of partial disciplines. He works with wonderful renderings and rarely improves his inner drama monologue and world-related stories. At one time, Xin Haicheng also targeted the audience who can see the 1080P effect with smartphones and tablets. After trying to make a Ghibli animation blockbuster, the result was a failure of "Children Chasing Lost Voices". This apparently younger, campus-based "Your Name" was successfully released on a large scale with the help of Toho, and it rewritten the record in one fell swoop. This is unimaginable for Xin Haicheng's Chinese fans, and it is equally unimaginable for Japan. On the basis of the world department, "Your Name" adds the worldview settings of time travellers and parallel worlds. It also borrows boys and girls to exchange their bodies, so that they are not allowed to spend money indiscriminately, and are not allowed to change the two dimensions of interpersonal relationships. Little humor. Like an online virtual game, the two parties can read each other's archives and exchange player identities. This kind of setting is common in the story elements of ACG animation, and slowly, like the recent hot time and space, it has also come to an era when it is widely accepted by the public. The movie is filled with the light and colors of Xin Haicheng, rainbows and twilights, the showy thoughts of boys and girls, and inner monologues. Fortunately, the little things in daily life are really helpless. From the crater to the metropolis, from the tram track to the pedestrian bridge, and then the small objects and the painting style that restores the reality to beautify 300%, every frame is filled with the name of Xin Haicheng with an invisible pen. Every magic moment. Who is the other side? I have asked September Lu wet before you wait for you. ——("Many Leaves Collection" Volume 10, No. 2240) Introducing the female teacher of Dusk Etymology (who he is), the character image comes from Xin Haicheng's animated short film "The Garden of Words".
Twilight is called the time of the devil in Japanese, which means that at the turn of day and night, the world is dim and everything is hazy, ghosts and ghosts will appear at this time, and magical things will happen. Dusk is very important in "Your Name", it is the time when two people meet. Taki saw Mitsuba, and Mitsuba saw Taki too. To explain it, it's actually very simple. Dusk is the magical moment Xin Haicheng prefers. The light in this time period is the most magical. Many photographers want to imitate this magical light from the sky in the studio, but they have no choice. The light used by Makoto Shinkai's paintings and spells is often multiple overlaps from reality, such as rainbow light and diffuse light, and direct light from the bright sun on a single screen. And whether it is the starry sky with the Milky Way or the trajectory of comets, they are clearer and more beautiful than visible to the naked eye, and the colors are dazzling and graceful. Then, of course, the magical and endless possibilities of the dusk light cannot be missed. In filming, Twilight is also the director of the art film Malik, and one of the best cinematographers on the planet Lubezki has a common preference for magical moments that he likes. "Day in Heaven" is often shot at dusk, and can only be shot for 20 minutes a day. As for Lubezki, you can see his magical photography in the empty shots of "Birdman." your name. Taki and Mitsuba shouted each other's names loudly and were considered to be a tribute to Iwai Shunji's "Love Letter." This was confirmed in the director's interview. Besides, it is not the first time that Makoto Shinkai pays tribute to Shunji Iwai, an eternal youth film mentor, in his work. "Your Name" is also a post-311 era (ie the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011) film about "what to look for". On the surface, this is an innocent but vulgar love story at first sight. In fact, it is affirming that there is someone who is important to you, and he has been waiting for you to find. Catastrophe means that you may never miss this person, and there will be no miracles in your life. Then, the movie is to help you fulfill this imaginary wish.
Friends from Hong Kong have watched the film in the theater, and cannot tolerate Xin Haicheng's omission. The thumbs of the two parties tease, but they don't know the difference in time and year. For the human beings living in the era of smartphones, suddenly slap the thigh, it seems really unexplainable. However, "Your Name" is a simple taste in many sections. It is better to believe in immortals and psychics than to go back in time. If the laws of the real world must be substituted, this story simply cannot exist. However, if you start with something like this three years ago, the time span forgotten in "Your Name", the protagonist will be "as if nothing happened" trance dream, it is not impossible in reality. "Sometimes, I forget." With more and more information, we can't remember the big explosion last year, the massacre at the train station, the plane crash of Malaysia Airlines, a certain movie director died prematurely... Then, what year is this year. From Akoji Fukada's "Sakuko by the River" and "Goodbye", Sonoko On's "Mediocre" and "Land of Hope", and the old director Yoji Yamada's "Tokyo Family". This unprecedented catastrophe, reflected in Japanese movies, may last longer than the impact of natural and man-made disasters such as the Great Hanshin Earthquake and Aum Shinrikyo at the end of the last century. For Xin Haicheng, although "Your Name" is based on youth and campus, the protagonist has not really entered the society, and survived the illusion of saving the world in the second stage. But the terrible disaster of the comet hitting the earth continues to remind all Japanese people that nature has a beautiful side and a correspondingly terrible side. Whether it is a small waterfront town or a mega city, human beings are temporarily borrowed from the world, just like that dusty can of chewing wine.
The movie is nothing but a dream machine. In the era of "Five Centimeters Per Second", Makoto Shinkai portrays the incomparable characteristics of cherry blossoms to youth, to memories, and to the national character of the Japanese. Cherry blossoms bring happy memories, but also mixed with sadness. The full bloom of cherry blossoms means that there will be new encounters, and it is also a season of encounters and separations. When we are parting each other, when we see the cherry blossoms in bloom, we will think of this separation in front of us, but later, when spring comes again, we will meet again. Thinking of this way, it will bring so many memories, and it seems that I also want to cry a little. This is the cherry blossom. This is the sentimental sentiment from the human body for no reason. It was blown by strong winds from the depths of memory at a "five centimeters per second speed" that was completely impossible in fact, and did not want to fall to the ground. The young girl in the small town has boundless yearning for Tokyo. The scenery in front of you is pleasant, but it's a broken place that doesn't even have a cafe. She went to Tokyo to look for Taki, the tall buildings, trams and crowds at first glance. Everything is so real. It is like changing from the slow life of dial-up Internet to the information flow rate of 100M per second. Because of the strange things in the dream, Taki went to find the beautiful town surrounded by the lake. He drew drawings, and he looked through various materials. It is worth mentioning that Xin Haicheng was dubbed by netizens as the rich second generation of the construction consortium. What Taki did in the movie, in addition to drawing the town, also kept the town.
Similar to "Voice of the Stars" and "The Other Side of the Cloud, the Promise of the Other Side", "Your Name" is a torn space and time with two worlds facing each other. This is also an overhead world, but behind the overhead, it integrates the mutual tolerance between the city and the countryside, modernity and tradition, and continues to identify with it. People in big cities lead a stressful but fulfilling life, accompanied by countless passing between people. The sunny town is a society where people encounter acquaintances on the way to school. It retains shrines and summer festivals, reminding people that everything today is sheltered by the gods. But in my opinion, what really carries Xin Haicheng's superior talents is not the big time and space that has been used too many times, but the visible things and trivial fragments in life: a box of lunch, a can, the moment of waking up, on the playground Distracted. The emergence of social networks has also given everyone an easy opportunity to store tens of billions of themselves, and to record every minute of their life as long as you want. Unlike the trivial content that was overwhelmed by the flow of information, Xin Haicheng took a small view and magnified the dazzling light and charming halo on them. His story is flawed, and his mind is scattered, but he has achieved his advantage.
After all, this is a cartoon world. 【MOViE Wooden Guard】【Published in "Beijing News"】
