The director seeks the field he is good at - time travel, telling the story that after the family gave birth to the second child, the parents are more concerned about the younger sister, while ignoring the brother's need for love. From this point as an introduction, on the one hand, it shows that the problem of the need for love of two children can not be estimated by contemporary second children, and the use of fantastic dogs to transform into human beings is used to explain and express and solve them. But Director Hosoda Mori sublimated the theme by combining the complex emotions that were indispensable before the siblings. The title of the film "Future of the Future" actually refers not only to the future of one person in the future, but also to the future and past of the entire family. This is a major breakthrough for the director, and he describes the theme with the time-travel theme that he is very good at.

This is evident in the depiction of a family in "Summer Wars", but the themes expressed in the two films are different.

This time, the director uses the wonderful ability of "travel" to travel from the future future and his childhood brother to the childhood of his parents and grandfather. It is really interesting to experience it through the perspective of intervention or inspection.

As the story as a whole is relatively loose, there is even Caton (the two stories are basically not connected), but as a film depicting things in the family, we don't have to look at "Future of the Future" with too many serious judgments. The audience can't help letting go of their inherent critical thinking as an adult, immersed in it and experience the story in the movie with the thinking mode of the male protagonist (brother), and you will find out how interesting it is. Or outline the childhood memories that belong to Guan Zhong himself.

For those who are embarrassed or afraid to face this film, try watching this film from a different angle, and you will find that the emotional granularity of this film is terrifyingly delicate and very real.
