The small courtyard at home is my time machine. The trees in the small courtyard record all memories with annual rings. I go back to the past to see you, and I also go to the future to see myself. I have seen you in the old days. I also meet you in the future. I will go. The road when you came, has a different scenery, I look into the distance I haven’t come, and I see you beckoning from the other side. I have tasted those unfamiliar joys and sorrows that I don’t know / You whispered that the roots are downward / the branches and leaves are upward and the past is not far / the future is near and I will go to the past to find you / also waiting for you in the future According to the standards of movies, they are more like fairy tales, modern fairy tales suitable for adults. In reality, we don't have a time machine to travel through memory, and we won't encounter the weirdness of another world. But fortunately, we still have movies, such a dream machine, to satisfy those unattainable fantasies in a small way, to comfort our reluctance and regret, and to give us warmth in this reinforced concrete forest. Director Hosoda Mori is a very gentle and delicate person, and for such a gentle person, we should have more tolerance and understanding. PS: Maybe this time the national partner saved the bad original partner of Moeyin Shang Shiraishi?

Mirai quotes

  • Father: This is your baby sister, Kun.

    Kun: Sister?

    Mother: Isn't she precious?

    Kun: [gasping in amazement] She is.

    [pokes his finger against her delicate hand]

    Mother: You have to be gentle with her.

    Kun: [gently takes hold of the baby's hand; she opens her eyes]

    Father: She's awake. I think she's staring at you, Kun.

    Mother: Come on, her eyes can't even focus yet.

    Father: Well she sure looks like she's staring to me.

    Mother: You must always be nice to her, okay?

    Kun: Okay.

    Mother: And you have to protect her no matter what.

    Kun: Yeah.

    Mother: Always.

  • Mirai: You did it again. You tried to hit me with your bullet train even after Mom told you not to.

    Kun: But it wasn't a bullet train!

    Mirai: You aren't supposed to use a bullet train to hit people.

    Kun: It was a Super Azusa.

    Mirai: [angrily] I don't care what kind it was!

    [scoffs]

    Mirai: And why can't you be a little nicer to Mom?

    Kun: I don't know, I just can't.

    Mirai: It's her one day off from work. She doesn't get many and she has to spend it fighting with you. Come on, try.

    Kun: [sniffling] I know... I'm not cute.

    Mirai: Huh?

    Kun: [crying, wipes tear from his eye] Both Baby Mirai and Yukio are really cute. Not me. I know I'm not that cute anymore.

    [continues sobbing]

    Mirai: Oh come on, that's not true. You're very cute!

    Kun: [walking away]

    Mirai: You're the cutest! Adorable!

    Kun: [crying harder; runs away]
