I don't know if this is the first movie written by humans based on the theme song .
After reading it, I want to say, Mr. Makoto Shinkai, you are wrong. How much I want to be a political cadre, how much I want to tell you, your ideas are not high, your story is not positive, you made us - almost all the audience - feel very depressed after reading it.
I know that it is very stupid to evaluate the value of a work by whether it is a big reunion, but I have to say that there are very few animation works like this - the protagonist struggles, gets angry at the last moment, picks up the memories of his friends, The outbreak of the small universe, the defeat of the great devil and the return of the beautiful woman, everyone has seen too much; even if it is a "tragic" ending, and an important character has died, there will always be one or a few people standing in front of their tombstones in the spring scenery , smile and promise to live well, to be happy and so on. The protagonist lives in the dark, and knows what he loves, and even more knows that what he loves will not be available in his life. This is estimated to be the real tragedy - this is also the reason why it is more depressing than the ending of many people dying.
Mr. Makoto Shinkai, the stories in the sea of stars you created tell us that the distance of our hearts can surpass the barriers of space. From beginning to end, all we see is belief, persistence, and transcending that endless distance. Effort; the legend of the cloud that you interpret, let us see the juvenile pride that crosses the impossible for the sake of agreement, and we still see the belief, persistence, and efforts to cross the gap of the world. Tragedy or reunion, separation or hug, you always give us two words, hope.
But now, you actually use your works to show the cruelty of that reality - not in failure, miss or decadence, but in helplessness, abandonment and despair.
I know that being realistic doesn't stop your work from being great, I know. But I always feel that animation should be our dream, the dream of youth. Even if it can't be realized, it should be the wizard that leads us to dream, not the alarm clock that wakes up our dreams.
Maybe you want to explain that it is precisely because of such innocent memories, the feelings of first love that you can't speak, overflowing on the letter paper, and can express with only one word, so life - even if it is a small person is dark and ordinary, helpless And a life of despair - also will have color.
And I feel painfully that it is precisely because of such innocent and distressing memories that every second of my life, every day that is not so beautiful and not so colorful, is so reminiscent of the youth who will never come back. It will become more painful to regret the unspoken intentions.
What you see is the people who pass by, who are so beautiful because they can never get it; what I see is the youth that I have experienced, but because of weakness and abandonment, I regret the pain of a lifetime.
The distance across Japan, the late train in the wilderness, these really hit the hearts of young people, maybe it is because of this pain that they understand how difficult it is to be together forever, and they don't hand over letters to each other, No confession was expressed. But these distances are not insurmountable. They are far from the starry sky several light-years away, nor the world above the clouds. They can go to the same university and work in the same city. What really keeps them apart is the heart.
It has long been said that Makoto Shinkai's works are all about distance, the distance of light years, the distance of the world, this time, the distance of the heart. Although it is almost impossible to be the original intention of Makoto Shinkai, I think that 5 centimeters per second is the speed at which the cherry blossoms fall, and it is also the speed at which the heart, love, and the wind fall.
Combined with the first two works, this time the answer is even more cruel and ironic-he once tried to tell us that the distance between the heart can surpass everything, including light years, including the gap in the world, including life and death-but now he wants to Tell us, sorry, I forgot, there is one thing that cannot be surpassed, and that is the reality of life.
The short intersection in their lives gave them lingering thoughts, but the helpless separation threw them into the torrent of life - no choice, no stop, only non-stop, unable to stop to find, find and meet each other Intersection once again. Yes, it's easy for me to say, they can go to the same university, work in the same city, and settle down. But real life doesn't give you such an opportunity. From the moment they kissed under the withered cherry tree, the young mind has succumbed to the whole helpless and drifting life.
So, flying to the clouds to pursue the dream of a happy teenager, and the first love memories of falling cherry blossoms, which one do you choose? You will definitely choose the former, but Makoto Shinkai sighs and wants to tell us that this is up to you, you have no chance to choose.
Yes, how do we have a chance to choose, things that seem so easy, seem like the answer of "just work hard", in the river of life, how many times will it become when it is about to be realized? Disappointment, even a lifetime of regret. Even dying like Romeo and Juliet -- if such a young child can do it -- doesn't have to be a happy ending.
Therefore, Mr. Makoto Shinkai is not wrong, and I am not wrong. He is telling a truer story, a fact that happens every day, and what I want to say is that I expect him to maintain and describe our dreams. It is what we, who are powerlessly drifting in the torrent of life, want to see - the more we can't do it ourselves, the more we hope that there will be such an immortal role to help us complete it.
Flying to the clouds and falling with the wind is not our choice. Choosing the former does not mean that you must be brave. On the contrary, if you can face the latter, maybe you will have more opportunities to choose by yourself in the path of life.
I wanted to refute Mr. Shinkai Makoto, but I finally refuted myself. But I'm still willing to keep my dreams, and I'm willing to obsess over that stupid belief that if you don't believe that you are the protagonist who can realize your dreams, you will never be the protagonist.
Because you used those lyrics yourself, you beat our hearts over and over again with those lyrics, and you didn't stop until we burst into tears. Or even if you don't admit it, I still insist that you write such a story for such lyrics, you write such a story about missing out so that we can understand such lyrics and continue to have dreams——
If everything can be done again, I will definitely rush to your side.
I have nothing to ask
for.
