In all fairness, it is a good film, but the narrative pace of the Japanese is always too slow, and the previous director dug too much resistance, and finally had to swallow the ending, which affected the effect.

What impressed me the most was the giant tower, which divided the sky, the nation, the world, the dream, and the promise into two halves. The hasty destruction of the tower in the end is far less profound than keeping it.

The biggest idea of ​​the whole film lies in the conjecture that "the world can dream, so there are parallel worlds".

  • Hiroki Fujisawa: [about Sayuri] She always said she felt like she was losing something. At the time... I was in middle school, and couldn't understand what she meant. But... those words had a strange effect on me.

  • Hiroki Fujisawa: [Narrating] At the time, we were drawn by two things: One was our classmate, Sawatari Sayuri... The other was the giant tower across the Tsugaru Strait. I was always looking up at that tower, I felt that something very precious waited there, I yearned to go there... One day... One day... I will go there.
