It's not like a birth film, it's more like the reflection of a second child parent

The Japanese are too strict to give a five-star rating of only 2.3. The story is different from the name, and it's not just about the future sauce. Although the male protagonist is very annoying, but the encounters in it are quite good, especially the scene at Tokyo Station, which is simply an animation for adults (a bit scary). On the surface, it looks like a children's education film, but when I think about it carefully, くんちゃん, who was spoiled at the beginning, was neglected by his parents after having a sister. At this time, it was the strange dejavu who took on the responsibility of educating him again and again. , it is even more obvious in the section of learning to ride a bicycle. Facing くんちゃん who couldn't learn to bike, my father could only take care of his crying sister. In fact, he taught him how to ride a bicycle and taught him to look far away from the great grandfather in dejavu. The one who taught him how to find himself was the future Mizu-chan. A child who was once spoiled and very willful suddenly became sensible, and his parents did not feel guilty for ignoring him, but accepted his progress as a matter of course. No matter how you look at it, it should be the parents' fault.

So this film is actually for adults to watch, let them reflect on not neglecting the care and education of the first child. Although Hosoda Mori failed to tell the story well, the reflection he wanted to express was much more than the story.

Once again, I will praise the storyboard, which is very well done. I will mention the scene of Tokyo Station again. It is very immersive from the gate to the accelerated dive from the escalator.
