Your Lie in April

The story begins with the encounter of a violinist and a pianist, and then the two know each other, depend on each other, fall in love, and finally live and die. The emotional description of the whole episode is relatively delicate, and there are a lot of memory descriptions. Although the overall plot is a little bit routine and a little procrastinated, the flaws are not concealed . It is a large number of classical music performances that give people an excellent experience. In particular, the small reversal of the plot at the end not only takes care of the title, but also deducts the word lie, so that the whole plot has a foothold (otherwise, the special attention of many female protagonists to the male protagonist will be confusing). The sad atmosphere and the tears of the audience were earned. (But for me, it is a tearful smile. Although it is a little sad, the undertone is warm.)

I have to say that the setting at the end is very characteristic. The first half is Arima's solo, the fantasy violin and piano ensemble (this one is the best) accompanied by melodious music, and the picturesque background (all wallpapers) ?) Xun ended her perfect performance, gradually feathering in the beams of the sky, and finally leaving a sentence of Sayanara by Arima. This clip has mixed reviews. Some people think that it may be a direct transition from this to Xun's death. It would be too abrupt to have a horse to visit. After that, many related plots can be added, which will earn the audience's tears. But I think this is the conscience of the production team. The setting of this segment has a poetic beauty that is sad but not sad. The smoke disappears in the light and shadow, which weakens the sad color of the whole play and increases its beauty, making parting and death. It's not as scary as I imagined, and it can better reflect the beauty of Xun and the healing properties of the whole series (depression).

And the second half is the content of the letter, which I think is the most emotional part of the whole play. The monologues and the emergent scenes give a reasonable explanation for everything before, not ambiguous, but the heroine's lie, the heroine's choice to bloom her life. When all the truth came out, the image of the heroine was sublimated again, and of course, the audience's tear ducts were completely out of control. With the two familiar eds, the plot ushered in the ending, and at the same time, the first three people achieved growth, and Arima was given a new life. The three of them set their own goals and ran with courage! Go face the future! It's just that every year after that there is an April without you.

Overall, the first 11 episodes were cured , mainly showing that the male protagonist got out of the shadow of his mother and the fear of the piano with the help of the female protagonist, and won a new life; then the next 11 episodes were depressed , due to the deterioration of the female protagonist's condition, the whole drama The atmosphere is inevitably full of sadness, and it also increases the direct expression and expression of more emotions. But there is no doubt that it is the advancement of the follow-up plot that increases the emotional depth of the whole play, allowing people to empathize with the characters in the play more, and obtain an excellent emotional experience and taste of life.

In the limited plot capacity, the whole series provides relatively complete emotional clues and story clues, and at the same time shows the thought-provoking value orientation from multiple angles:

1. Attitude towards death: living towards death

Xun is the brightest character in the whole play. She is an excellent violinist. She does not stick to musical scores and plays as she likes. At the same time, she is also lively and optimistic, full of energy every day, giving hope and strength to the male protagonist. . She is almost perfect and even gives the impression of unreality. But the lies of the ending make her image finally full and three-dimensional, rather than appearing too idealized. After knowing her physical condition, she did not choose to feel sorry for herself, but chose to use her last strength to bloom her life and live towards death!

Because she wants to live out herself in the last days, there is no spiritual restraint for her, so she can do whatever she wants in the performance competition. Although she was inevitably eliminated, her performance not only won the applause of the whole house, but also realized the desire of her heart. In the process of accelerating the burning of life, she not only fulfilled her wish to have Arima as her accompaniment, but also used her pure love for music and firm attitude to get Arima out of the predicament. It was this attitude of living towards death that made Xun appear so bright and dazzling. Death was right in front of her eyes, but she only thought about how to live every day well. Just like a shooting star passing through the sky, it shows its beautiful light for the world. It does not take into account that death is just ahead, it just thinks about blooming itself in a limited time, swaying itself, and illuminating others. Maybe the road ahead is forever, but although there are millions of people, I will go.

2. Attitude towards music:

For me, a music novice, I have never heard most of the classical music, but I simply think it sounds good, and try my best to understand the emotions contained in it. However, the attitude of the people in the play towards music is very interesting. The recurring question in the play is for whom or for what . As the story progresses, this question is gradually answered.

At first, Arima just simply loved music and played it in his own way, and at the same time to make his mother happy, but his mother asked him to play strictly according to the score, which led to him getting the "reputation" of the human metronome. However, such a process As a result, Arima lost the initial fun of playing, and became more like a robot. After quarreling with his mother, he lost his love for the piano and became deaf at a critical moment. After that, Xun broke into his life like an angel, using her unique playing style to influence, change, and shock Arima's heart. Let him learn to play with the timbre of his heart.

As said in the play: "As you said, I may not be able to play satisfactory music, but I still have to play it. As long as I have the opportunity to play and people who are willing to listen, I will do my best, for the sake of Those who listened remember me, and to stay in their hearts forever, that's why I play."

At this time, Arima completely changed the reason why he played the piano, in order to let the real music reverberate in the hearts of every listener, but also in his own heart, which returned to his original intention to play the music in his heart freely. The music at this time is alive, full of emotion, able to convey one's heart, and free and sincere. And sincere music can transcend language and use the mind as a medium to spread.

3. Inheritance and Influence

In my opinion, a very important plot is the appearance of Nagi. This is undoubtedly Arima's alchemy stone. The music concept that Kaori passed on to Arima illuminated Arima, who lives in the shadows, and Arima also successfully passed this concept to Aiza Nagi . We believe that although Xun is in heaven, Arima in the world can still live hard and form a "lighthouse effect" to illuminate other confused pianists. At the same time, a performance by young Arima in the initial plot directly lit up the musical path of Kaoru, Samurai, and Igawa, which led to a series of follow-up plots, which made us see the power of influence.

When the last note is played, we finally get out of that beautiful fairy tale, and everyone may be able to find their own shadow from the corresponding character. Mr. Lu Xun once said, "Tragedy is to tear up beautiful things for people to see". When all the dust settles, we may be saddened by Xun's departure; How the three of them carry Xun's expectations and continue to set off, maybe we can better understand the true meaning of this story.
