Even if the rain turns the city upside down, I'll hold you in my arms
Let's talk about the advantages first. The biggest advantage is still the advantage of Xin Haicheng - the picture. In the words of the well-known B station up Lex, "Ah, this light! Ah, this water!", I like the picture that the male protagonist flashed when he fell asleep at McDonald's. The sun was shining on the sea, combined with the elegant soundtrack, solemn and sacred. Animated movies should be movies first, and the art of expressing light in movies is very difficult, and there is no natural light source in live-action movies that can be used. In the Indian poetic film "Firefly", I was impressed by the scene where the woman in the shimmering light touches and kisses the man through the gauze. That is art, and this scene in "Weathering With You" is also art.
The second is social performance. A 15-year-old boy went to Tokyo to struggle to survive. The girl who lied about her age was found by the owner and lost her job at McDonald's. The boy and girl helped each other live after they met. Friendship turns into love, and affection. The role of the heroine's younger brother is added to form a classic "family of three" model, where the parents of the boys and girls are absent, and they become fathers and mothers. A good movie is shown by the society. At the beginning, there are various backgrounds in Tokyo, the home "shaking" next to the subway, and the last sentence "The world is out of control anyway". In addition to ridicule, there is also the author's expression. (Maybe it's because I'm in the stage of graduating and looking for a job, so I feel more emotional.)
Another point is that it's both a plus and a minus, and I think for a long time that the pluses outweigh the minuses - the film is full of coincidences. The "winner in life" in the car is the younger brother, who suddenly got the gun. After the hero saves the beauty, he finds out that it is a girl for Hamburg. The male protagonist meets the eldest sister when he escapes. Here, I can only attribute it to "Japan is really small" and The author's laziness. Until the climax of the "one person against the world" escape, my brother appeared and knocked down the police, and I was touched. This is the author's expression of the fate of "destined" and "the whole world helps you".
Xin Haicheng has not changed, he is still paranoid, paranoid about the love of boys and girls, and paranoid about the mixture of light and water, but I can praise this paranoia.
It's been raining, the atmosphere is not harmonious
Only the Shinkai Makoto movies I've seen sorted: Your Name. > The Garden of Words > 5 centimeters per second > The Child of the Weather.
The first disadvantage is that the degree of paranoia is not well grasped. In other words, I am not impressed by this love story. Matsuri also showed paranoia in "You Are You Because You Are", three boys fell madly in love with a girl, they regarded her as a princess, and peeped every day. In the end, after the girl found out, she cut her hair and threw it on the ground for the boy to eat. Only the role played by Ikematsu Soryo ate it. At this moment, I think it reached the pinnacle of love. What can you sacrifice for a person you love, can you do it without dignity, can you do it because you are you, it's not enough to shout "I want to save you" and run Japanese dramas, the emotions are conveyed to the audience You can rely on music to help you feel, but the ability of music is limited after all.
There are moral dilemmas in "Weathering With You". The male protagonist chooses the female protagonist between the heavy rain and the female protagonist. No one should think there is a problem with this. But what if the bridge section was added earlier to say that heavy rain caused traffic jams or even car accidents? Worse yet, what about the flooding of supermarkets and the displacement of most people? "Big Fish and Begonia" touched on this. At that time, I remember that many people were scolding the heroine for sacrificing the lives of the whole village for a fish.
I would like to see the male protagonist choose the female protagonist in the lives of all the people in Tokyo and the lives of the female protagonists, let the city return to the bottom of the sea, and the two become Adam and Eve.
I understand that in order to achieve national character and high box office, it cannot involve unpleasant points. "Weathering With You" may also only want to talk about the process of boys and girls meeting and falling in love, so this shortcoming must be insignificant in the eyes of many people. Xiaoqing and Xiaoai can certainly make audiences cry, but Makoto Shinkai's influence is already great. The word "Successor of Hayao Miyazaki" has come out. "Weathering With You" represents Japan in the Oscars, and Japan was selected for the last movie. The animated film is still Hayao Miyazaki's "Princess Mononoke" in 1998. How do the two films compare in terms of sociality and authorship?
The second disadvantage is the opening of the narration. The picture of Makoto Shinkai's film is so beautiful, but it still relies on the rough narration to narrate, which is simply too wasteful. The third point is the last "salutation" of the "Spirited Away" aerial paragraph. I'm not a big fan of tribute memes, and self salute memes. I understand "Your Name." "The hero and heroine are Easter eggs for fans. I was surprised when I watched it, but at that time the audience's attention would fall on such characters that have nothing to do with the main line. I hope to spend more time showing the feelings between the hero and heroine. detail.
The connection between girls and water, I like it from junior high school to now. The sentence "Daughter is made of water" in "A Dream of Red Mansions" is so beautiful, the passage of the girl entering the underwater world in "Miss Pei's Fantasy Castle" is imaginative, and the underwater kiss in "The Shape of Water". I also like the image of rain. In "The Garden of Words", "the sky is faintly thundering and hazy, but I hope the wind and rain can keep you here", and the rain that brings the joy of victory at the end of the Alabasta chapter of "One Piece". But Weathering With You, with girls and rain, didn't impress me.
"Weathering With You" once strayed me into the raining Macondo, but was just an indifferent bystander.
