The first time I saw this movie was 7 years ago. At that time, I only saw it as an entertainment commercial film, but I was confused after watching it... For some things, you have to experience it before you can feel the same way, which is why some people I feel the vulgarity of the plot without being integrated into it.
From a technical point of view, the film is impeccably refined in terms of storyboards, editing, and music. As for the plot, I think it's a matter of opinion, and at least moved me 7 years later. A thousand-year-old actress, a film without even a male protagonist, do you think it is really just a romance film? Chiyoko Fujiwara spent her whole life chasing after a person, even though that person no longer exists, until the end of the film when her inner monologue: "It doesn't matter whether I find him or not, I like to pursue that person" did she realize that what she was looking for through time and space was actually is love itself.
Perhaps the reason why I am moved by this film now is because it is hard to see such persistent people around, and even if there are, they will be considered stupid. So today, 7 years later, when I see her in her pursuit again, with the constant flashbacks of her memories, I cry. Will we still be as innocent as 7 years ago, whether we will still love someone with sincerity without expecting anything in return, whether we will give up love for the sake of a house... All these have been replaced by the so-called reality and maturity, yes, no need for a thousand years, 7 years , enough to change a person and an era.
Maybe what the world really lacks is the flower language of the lotus in the film—purity
