The most important thing in a science fiction work is logic

The Japanese love to cite all sorts of obscure scientific theorems to explain their cartoons, but this refreshing work doesn't do that. This also laid the foundation for his self-confessed soft sci-fi.
From a sci-fi point of view, this movie has too many logical loopholes.
From the perspective of juvenile animation, it can make sense. This can give young girls a romantic solace.
Let's skip the literal science and talk about the movie.
1. The Japanese are still deliberately smoothing out the sexual characteristics of girls.
The protagonist in the film is a high school student who is facing the college entrance examination, so he should be at least 17 years old. But her formal style has been de-feminized, and she is still like a primary school girl, playing with boys and refusing "love" relationships. Then, all of a sudden, bang! She gets a sudden taste of love at the end.
This is very suitable for the Chinese people's appetite, because this is how the Chinese live: in the ignorance of their own to find the outlet of love and sex, and then under the coercion of popular culture and pseudo-morality, they think they choose the goal of kindness first.
2. What is love?
The girls in the film have always been like children, deliberately avoiding the distinction between men and women. As if those things in the real world had nothing to do with her. She only cares about eating, playing, and taking exams. The boy kept expressing his feelings to him, she avoided answering, and finally suddenly, when the boy was rash and stupid for her (she wasted a lot of time travel energy, and the boy from the future never knew These things, what a big loophole) When she gave up her last hope of returning to the future, this girl suddenly fell in love with him without hesitation.
The film uses a series of good memories of their past as a foreshadowing, but please think about it, can't this girl think of these memories before?
The Chinese love to say that people only know how precious they are when they lose something. But the reality I know is that people are more concerned with what they have.
3. Stupid
In recent years, there has only been one kind of girl protagonist in Japanese animation - developed limbs and simple mind. This makes me feel 2 cultural traits. 1. Fear of the growth of women's status; 2. Still despising women's wisdom, and at the same time resolutely defending women's passive position in sexual behavior.

    I also want to travel through time and space...

  • Guiseppe 2022-03-24 09:02:25

    It's a youth movie full of collagen. We in high school are happy, or lost, or overwhelmed for these trivialities. If we have a time cheat, is it to avoid mistakes that even disturb the fate of others, or to return to the original origin. The last run can bring you back to your world, but you will never miss the most sincere confession that you couldn't avoid, at a loss as to what to do. I will try my best to reach the future you.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time quotes

  • [Chiaki just asked out Makoto and to avoid it, she leaps back to a conversation with Kousuke that happened a few minutes before. Upon landing, she clangs her head against a sign]

    Chiaki Mamiya: Uh, what the hell are you doing down there?

    Makoto Konno: Nothing at all.

    Chiaki Mamiya: Don't come crying to me when you change your mind too late about dating that girl.

    Kousuke Tsuda: Can we please just drop it now?

    [Turns and walks away]

    Chiaki Mamiya: See ya!

    Kousuke Tsuda: Later!

    Chiaki Mamiya: Hey where's your bike? Get on, I'll double ya.

    Makoto Konno: [Swallows nervously, remembering what happened before]

    Chiaki Mamiya: [Riding the bike home, with Makoto on the back again] That loser Kousuke, beat me to it.

    Makoto Konno: It's not as if he decided to go out with her.

    Chiaki Mamiya: That's what he says now, but I bet if he got a girlfriend then he'd always pick her over us.

    Makoto Konno: You can't be sure about that.

    Chiaki Mamiya: Oh man, without Kousuke, we'd only be able to toss the ball around.

    Makoto Konno: Why do you give the poor guy some credit and deal with it IF and when Kousuke does start seeing a girl.

    Chiaki Mamiya: Well, there's not much we can do if it happens. Anyway, how about you go out with me?

    Makoto Konno: Like I said, why are we talking about this?

    [Leaps back in time again to avoid being asked out]

    Chiaki Mamiya: [Riding the bike home, with Makoto on the back again] That's what he says now, but I bet if he got a girlfriend then he'd always pick her over us.

    Makoto Konno: Hey, did I ever tell you what a total idiot my little sister is?

    Chiaki Mamiya: Uh, I was talking about Kousuke in case you didn't notice.

    Makoto Konno: Forget him, let's talk about my sister.

    Chiaki Mamiya: So anyway, if Kousuke finds a girlfriend...

    Makoto Konno: LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY SISTER!

    Chiaki Mamiya: DO YOU WANNA GO OUT WITH ME?

    [Makoto leaps back yet again and realizing that Chiaki is going to ask her out despite her trying to change the conversation, she proceeds to walk home to avoid it altogether]

  • Chiaki Mamiya: There was a painting I desperately wanted to see. No matter how far away it was or what sort of place it was in. No matter how dangerous. I wanted to see it. Unfortunately in my time the painting had already been destroyed and before these times its whereabouts were unknown. The only place where there was an accurate record of it was in this present era, in this place. It was here, in this season. All I needed was to see it. I was going to remember it for the rest of my life.
