There is a very classic scene at the beginning: Tomoya narrates his pale and boring life. At this time, the world is dark and there are no beautiful colors. On the way to school, Tomoya passed a cherry tree and heard Nagisa under the tree's worried monologue. Tomoya's nosy nerves became active, so he took the initiative to talk to Nagisa next to her, telling her that nothing would change if she didn't do anything. Nagisa turned his eyes to Tomoya, and at that moment, the world was instantly filled with color. Seeing this scene, I remembered the end of "Schindler's List", the Jews walked out from the other side of the horizon together, the color of the film gradually filled with color from gray, black and white, the shock of that moment. There are a lot of movies that imitate this bridge segment. I can't cite an example, but I have an impression, and in general: imitating without feeling. There is no doubt that the opening paragraph of Clannad is also imitating "The List", but unlike the list, this bridge is arranged in the opening credits. There is no such violent and shocking feeling, and even the effects are quite different, it is a gentle and relaxed feeling: Tomoya's pale narrative and depressing tone at the beginning were swept away in an instant. At this time, Tomoya was still a high school student. Darkness does not prevent good stories from happening. I read it several times, and I don't think this scene is worse than "The List" at all, and I don't even feel like imitating it. Once again such a bridge appears, it is the end of Clannad. Perhaps watching Peng Ye go wild, meddling with his own business, and even suspected of opening a harem, the audience almost forgot that this man lost his mother in his early years, and lost his wife a year after getting married at the age of 18 or 19. Before the age of 25 He lost his only daughter. The three most important people in his life left him one after another, and he hadn't even reached his thirties. Friends who have lost their daughter will naturally have this idea: it would be better if they hadn't met her in the first place. She will not feel inferior for not being able to give her happiness, she will meet a better one; in this way, she will not lose, and her life will not completely lose the meaning of living. Once again, Tomoya passed the blooming cherry tree on the way to school. Nagisa under the tree was worried about the life of the school as before. Tomoya heard it, but he didn't have the idea to talk to him. He couldn't see his eyes and lowered his head. Walked by her side. Nagisa gave up the idea of going to school and turned to go home, and she passed him. In fact, no dark gray lens is used here, but the whole picture looks pale and powerless. Tomoya faced a choice again, this time, although he didn't talk to Nagisa right away, he turned around in hindsight, stopped her in hindsight, ran to Nagisa in hindsight, and even more in hindsight. Hug her tightly. He didn't know if he was happy or sad after the ordeal, tears streaming down his face. quilt Nagisa, who hugged and left the ground, smiled softly and said, "I'm really afraid that you will ignore me. No matter what happens, please don't regret our encounter." At that moment, the film was brilliant. Without adding more brilliant colors, it makes the picture appear brighter. Just as the world in the opening credits has changed from gray, white and black to colorful, the scene at the end of the credits uses a similar technique, imitating it, but it is undoubtedly very successful. Spielberg tapped the audience's soul in a shocking way; KyoAni used the most gentle hand to create one lovely world after another. No matter what happens, please don't regret our encounter.
