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.

    Yoshida's soundtrack is really good. It can be used as the material for my "On the Use of Polyphonic Works in Soundtracks". Beautiful and fresh picture, clean soundtrack. If it is made into a movie, the heroine may be Gui Lunmei again. Hehe~ After watching this red pepper, it is really comfortable.

    80/100, it is true that there are various shortcomings in the play. The setting of time travel cannot stand up to scrutiny when it comes to details. It would be better if a complete system could be built. However, the youthful atmosphere exuding from the inside out and the "instant sense" of the gorgeous summer day in the whole work are really fascinating. The heroine draws and enters the painting while running in quite a Japanese drama, not only traveling through the time and space of the text, but also A romantic dance in the space and time of the image. The structure is quite enticing, and the viewing process is a progressive pleasure. Although the ending was sensational, I still shed tears in desperation. How can the phrase "I'll be waiting for you in the future" + touching the head to kill is enough to describe it~

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time quotes

  • Kazuko Yoshiyama: It's a mysterious painting. If you look at it for a long time, you feel completely at peace. We don't know its artist, or whether it even has any artistic value. But... we learned one thing during the restoration. This painting was drawn hundreds years ago in a time of war and famine.

    Makoto Konno: Why did someone draw this painting when the world was on the verge of destruction?

  • Makoto Konno: Why did you use it? Shouldn't it have been saved for the right time?

    Chiaki Mamiya: It was the right time. You don't remember, but Kousuke and that girl died once at that crossing. A certain someone was crying with guilt, so I had no choice. I had to go back, but before I noticed, it was summer. Being with you two... was too much fun. It was the first time I ever saw a running river on the surface. It was the first time I ever rode a bike. It was the first time I ever knew how vast the sky was. And above all... it was the first time I'd ever seen so many people in one place.
