The rhythm of "Summer Wars" is so brisk that there is no point of fatigue at all. You can sit in front of the screen and watch the director throw out the bridges in a happy mood, without thinking, without getting tired, and watching it comfortably. to the end. I think it's justified that the box office has a bumper harvest.
Speaking of this film carefully, every bridge segment is old. The summer job pretending to be a fiancé, the contradictions and warmth of the big family, the match between the royal sister and Zhengtai, and even the hacker crisis that relies too much on the virtual society, all of them are used and used. But when rubbed by the hand of God, it turns decay into magic, and emits a new light.
There are a lot of flaws in the way that artificial intelligence invades the network, but it is cleverly shrouded in the atmosphere of "family comedy", so that you are a little embarrassed to correct mistakes. People are not talking about hard science fiction. Such a lively family, the seven aunts and eight aunts got together for the grandmother's 90th birthday, which is a drama in itself. The rebellious uncle, the girl who pretended to be her fiancé and was secretly in love with her uncle, and the male protagonist who cheated on him, is another ancient and subtle love triangle. In this way, the originally successful family comedy changed its direction because of the crisis brought about by the theft of network management rights in a famous community. It first showed the danger of human beings over-reliant on the Internet in a virtual society, then it was the World Destruction War, and finally it changed its direction. It has become a family rescue battle, but behind the twists and turns is still the traditional Japanese theme of family affection and inspiration. Grandma is a figure of the last century. She doesn't understand the young online world, but the principle of uniting and never giving up in difficult situations has never changed. My uncle is back, everyone is going to have a lively meal together, what a Japanese inspiration.
The character design made by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto is still very comfortable. In online terms, the proportions of his characters are always accurate, so that a few strokes can clearly show the character's character. Compared with the rigorous digital sense of Production IG, the online world in "Summer" is more interesting. The characters and scenes in it are cute and clean in a gentle manner, which is harmonious with the overall pastoral style. It can be said that as a commercial animation, it does what it should. If there is a shortcoming, it is that it still lacks a little something that makes people shine, but as a summer healing blockbuster, it is enough.
