What is popular nowadays is the set of cruel stories of youth. On the one hand, it shows the publicity and wanton vitality of youth in front of you, and on the other end, it is full of scars from its whipping. Demonstrate its sense of reality, and its so-called depth.
When those boys and girls have passed, experienced, and then look back suddenly, they find that they have grown up, everything has become lighter, and the realm is suddenly noble.
I'm sorry, but I can't appreciate it. Not to mention the artificially created disasters that are too blunt, there are endless but not many fancy styles and boring, nothing more than terminal illness, or some psychological defects caused by painful memories, then if youth is so ups and downs, full of After the peaks and troughs, then how do we live and how to feel for the rest of our lives.
Besides, how could the ordinary you and I have so many dramatic lives, apart from the reality and depth of life, it is still empty talk to put it bluntly.
"Hearing the Waves", the origin of the name is probably because most of the events in the story happened in a small seaside town - Kochi Prefecture. The sound of the tide hitting the coast is heard day and night. It is the most unforgettable precious memory in life. It is also a testimony of those days that has never been absent.
The main line of the story can be simply summarized into three words - love triangle. One is the unresponsive, kind and stubborn boy Takuya, the other is Rikako Muto, a pampered and willful girl from the big city Tokyo, and the other is Toyo Matsuno, a four-eyed man who is a bit sullen. It is the common "unlucky man No. 2" in TV dramas.
There are no bright spots or unexpected places in the context of the plot: the first man falls in love with the first woman, the second man loves the first woman, the second man and the first man are iron buddies, and the first man makes love for the second man for the sake of friendship.
Just putting out this gorgeous lineup and main line, I am afraid most people will sneer. Isn't this the best drama that we were bombarded by Aunt Qiongyao when we were young, caught up with the Korean Wave when we grew up, and ravaged Korean dramas again? Close your eyes for three minutes, recall the tortures you have endured in the past, arrange and combine those clichés that have been repeated thousands of times, and then add branches and leaves, and go deep into every misunderstanding, every contradiction, and even every "classic" bloody line, the plot of the story. There is almost no doubt that the development is going in two directions, one is the Korean drama style, the second male is out, and the male and the female are tied. The former is similar, but the style is Leiju, very embarrassing and bloody.
But please note that this is produced by Ghibli, and the works marked with the Ghibli label in the last century are the same as the current Pixar, and belong to high-quality inspection-free products. I talked about those earlier, just to explain that although there are not many new ideas in such stories, there are so many books that follow one after another, which shows that there are indeed many gimmicks that can be used as selling points.
But Ghibli rejects these opportunistic practices. The overall presentation of the film is a straightforward way of telling the story. Although Tuo stopped when love came, he didn't realize that his retreat hurt three people, and he didn't even realize that he was retreating. Rigazi's precocious puberty as a woman made her aware of Takuya's subtle emotions earlier, but she has always been self-centered, and her arrogance and willful eldest-girl style prevented her from taking the first step. Matsuno is the most mature, and is on the outside, but out of self-esteem, he didn't pierce that layer of paper until he graduated from high school. In this way, three people with very different personalities and three young hearts are equally restless in the green summer. But youth is youth after all. Although it lasts for a long time, for people who have only experienced a little in the journey of life, love cannot occupy all their sights. When Matsuno's confession was rejected mercilessly, he might be a little jealous and resentful of Taku, but the most angry thing was probably the humiliation his concession gave him. Although Rigazi was completely disappointed by Takuya's cowardice, "Idiot, you are such a bad person", but after graduation, she still resolutely applied for the university in Tokyo to find "the one who slept in the bathtub".
The two love songs seem to have never started, let alone the climax and final chapter. Everything is plain and hazy, and it does not prevent us from being impressed. This is exactly the youth that you and I have both experienced. We have both loved someone, and we have had such unforgettable heartbeat memories. , dragging her head towards her back in a daze during class, and after school, in order to sneak a few glances, she would rather ride a bicycle around the boss's circle. Amid the laughter of the crowd, she walked in front of her and said, "Hey, please come out. "And these have been rehearsed thousands of times in my heart, and great love is often the same as the hero and heroine in the story. At least, until the end of high school. Although it is plain, it is not tasteless, because it reflects our real life, how life is, it is how it is, there is no vigor, no love, no panic and powerlessness under terminal illness, no dark past unbearable. It is true that we yearn for great love, but it is still the original taste of life that is easiest to find resonance.
From today's point of view, it is indeed a wise move for Lin Mu Minfu to choose to let young people do this film.
If Hayao Miyazaki's animation is a magnificent chapter like an epic, then "Hearing the Wave", based on the youth novel of the same name, is a lyrical poem that records youth.
The girls in Hayao Miyazaki's animations are both beautiful and intelligent, and they are god-like existences. Xida, and Xiao Shan, a stubborn girl who fights for the forest and nature in "Princess Mononoke", are the representatives of perfect women. In "I Heard the Sound of the Waves", Li Jiazi is withdrawn, arrogant, discordant, and has a lot of stinky problems, big and small.
The boys of Miyazaki Animation are sunny and enthusiastic. They always lend a helping hand and protect the flowers when the girls are in distress. After being slapped by Muto, Tuo immediately reciprocated and returned the favor.
As the audience said after the broadcast, the stories that happened to them are exactly the experiences you and I share.
The class reunion reunited happily. At the same time, under the lights, the greenness on each other's faces slowly faded away. The mortal enemy of the student days may just be a little friction, a little dislike, or simply not pleasing to the eye, thinking that they will never get along with each other, but in retrospect in the future, a smile will appear on the corner of his mouth, and the true meaning of "hate will become nostalgia" is only Those who have lived through those days will understand.
The movie is finally fixed at the moment of the reunion. This scene is somewhat similar to "Second Speed", but the ending of the former is undoubtedly complete, while the latter is a different person. Which one is more realistic and which one is more illusory, I still prefer the former in my heart. What Riño's spiritual mentor in "The Hacker" said to his black girlfriend: Some things in this world will change, and some things will never change. I believe that there is such a harbor in everyone's heart. Although the years have passed, the sound of the waves is still the same.
