Before watching "April Is Your Lie", my impression of this film was the similar style and character to "Honey and Clover" (I have been misunderstanding "April Is Your Lie" for a while Yu Haiye Chihua's new work, I remembered later that it was "Lion in March", which is too easy to remember. It has a name that does not seem to be grammatically familiar but very literary, and it seems to be a school film of youthful love, sadness and lingering like "Honey and Clover" or "The Flower".
When I first watched it, I felt that the whole work always had a subtle sense of inconsistency, and the positioning was a little distorted. The style of painting is super otome-oriented, but the author has a pseudonym that cannot be changed to a man (after reading it, it can be basically determined that this is a female author, there is a lesson from Arakawa, and the gender of Naoji Shinkawa is not difficult to guess), but published in Kodansha The Shonen Manga Magazine, won the Shonen Manga Award in 2013. That is to say, this is a manga in love for teenagers dressed in an otome's coat. The feeling of being in love with a young man is strange and cute, and the contrast is cute? The kingship of juvenile manga is blood, isn't it? .
The production company is A-1, who is biting my finger every year and waiting for the third season of "Dazheng". Since the establishment of the company, it has independently produced "Dazheng", my favorite hot-blooded film, "Dazheng". It is the first animation produced independently by A-1. It can be said that A-1 made "Dazheng", and "Dazheng" also made A-1. In recent years, A-1 has become even more popular in the madhouse. It is an old animation production company like P Club. The style of the work does not have the obvious self-characteristics of the madhouse, Bone Club, and Jingani. It feels closer to JC and Sunrise. It is hard to imagine that this year A young company that just turned 10 years old (you must know that when Jingani was established 15 years ago, it has been starting to lay hands on other companies). The film "Your Lie in April" is produced by A-1. First of all, it can ensure that the picture will not collapse. Although the fixed picture of the fingers when playing the piano is suspected of being lazy and saving money, the overall production is very sincere. Beautiful to die for, OP and ED are even brighter. No matter the music or the picture, I was attracted by the OP when I opened the film for the first time until I watched it until the end.
In terms of content, "Your Lie in April" is not a youth romance film like "Honey and Clover", "That Flower", "Journey of Youth", but it feels more like "Piano Forest" or "Youth". Symphonic Lover's Dream", a youth inspirational musical, mixed with some youthful love and confusion. It's just that the original work is inferior to "Piano Forest" and "Symphonic Lover's Dream". Strictly speaking, I can only give 60 points to the plot of this film. I just passed it, and the character picture adds 20 points and the music adds 10 points. Overall it is a high-quality work. The dog blood in the plot is not stingy, and it is impossible to look directly at it. Fortunately, although the character modeling is very serious, it is not too out of shape. However, the selling point of youth films is not originally in the plot, but in resonating with the audience, burying the frivolous and youthful love in the hearts of audiences of all ages in their hearts. In the picture scroll of "Nostalgia", when it is brought into the audience's sight, it brings the physiological reaction of tears, which is the victory of the youth film. Although everyone has experienced their own differences in their youth, the frequency of emotional feelings drawn by that age is surprisingly similar to everyone. As long as you find the right frequency band, you can easily resonate.
In that third year of junior high school, who had never thought about everything in the future, envied the sports all around, who was popular with girls, a violent girl who trusted in tomboy-like childhood sweethearts, secretly in love with a beautiful and eye-catching girl who liked other people, I have a slight inferiority complex that others can't see for myself, who can't learn sports at all. While looking forward to the plot that I can shine and attract people's attention, I keep telling myself that I'm just playing friend A in a movie where others are the protagonists. . Nothing resonates more easily than a story like this. Those sensitive and weak who are easily at a low point because of something, but the optimism and tenacity that can easily be revived by someone's encouragement are the privileges of that age, which makes people want to make these angels as beautiful The young and young girls embraced in their arms, embracing their weakness and strength, as if taking care of their fourteen-year-old.
In the end, the girl exposed her biggest lie.
"Arima Gongsheng-
kun , ok, ok,
ok, ok,
ok, ok"
The girl who always shines like a star in the night sky has disappeared into friend A's world.
And my ears always sounded the girl's questioning over and over again, "Jun は forget れ ら れ る の?" Traces, watching her constant and urgent questioning over and over again, like a fool holding the computer and crying uncontrollably, she wasted a bunch of tissue paper.
How can a friend who has been lost forever be forgotten?
From the acquaintance, acquaintance, reunion, separation, and farewell that began in the autumn of nineteen, to the nostalgia seduced by a certain moment, before I knew it, time has run for ten years. We have lived together for four years in college, we have eaten together in the cafeteria, we have washed in the bathhouse together, we have robbed the study room together, we have laughed and cried together and the dull and exciting day after day, our own journeys started after graduation, and the joy we shared together. , troubles, confusion, and each other's encouragement when moving towards their respective goals, how can we forget all of this.
"Forget れない."
"Die んでも forget it."
