The wish not to lose is the most distant star.

I finally watched this long-awaited film today.

I thought it would no longer continue the story of the distance trilogy, but although it was changed to a popular style similar to Ghibli, the keynote is still about loss and pursuit.

In fact, contradictions have arisen from the title. The whole story has repeatedly emphasized that life and death have destiny, and the natural order cannot be violated. But in every detail to write a story of people who want to reverse it. However, the stars are far away and can never be approached. In vain battles and struggles, even abandoning the world, in the end, nothing was achieved.

Even if you know this is the end, why are you still so moved when you look at the people who are doing their best to chase after them?
No matter how hard you try, you can only live with loss. This kind of ending is really what you want to express, Brother Cheng. I think, if this is not a public chapter facing the public, if this is still Brother Cheng five years ago... No, it should be said that even now, there must be this "Guardian Sword" hidden in the end. The real ending: the teacher cuts off her heart, Risa is resurrected in Asuna, and Asuna's soul lives with Shun and Mimi in another world...


Asuna is answering why she wants to take her life and come to this other world At the time, I used a sentence: "It turns out that I was just too lonely..."
At the time, I felt a little inexplicable, and at the end I pulled it back and watched this scene several times, the exhausted and scarred Tomorrowica , Asuna who cried because she couldn't climb the abyss because of fear. I suddenly realized how much contradiction and injustice this sentence is full of.

When the feelings that I wanted to recover that I wanted to keep, I found out that it was just something that was out of reach and farther and farther away, and even when I recalled why I did it, I couldn't seem to find a real reason. At such a time, why should we use it? The question of whether it's worth it or not will not get an answer based on correct values ​​at all. In the end, I am afraid it can only be: "People are lonely, so they do this."
However, is this really meaningless? The whole story describes just a meaningless adventure, and finally returns to the ordinary life of reality. story. Obviously not. These three kids who gave up almost everything to fight bravely on camera, how can we not read what they want to chase?

So this story is really not about obeying nature, being content with fate, and learning to compromise. Rather, that description and praise praise those who once looked up and chased the "stars".
Just for the same precious "now", in order not to let it be lost again. We all can't stand still.


The lighting and setting are still Makoto Shinkai style, and the music is still Tianmen style...Is there a little lack of connection.... Sure enough, how can the ending song be black and put on the staff list, bastard!
Although this work is not as shocking as the voice of the stars and the second five, but looking at this film, you will find that Brother Cheng has matured a lot now, and has a whole fascinating story that supports the film, instead of using symbolic characters like before. A film with almost no plot, just relying on the rendering of emotions will kill the Quartet. Therefore, theoretically, a film like this will be more widely accepted and will sell more.


"The wish that I don't want to lose is the most unreachable star..." "I just want to look up..."



Only this ending song is nostalgic,
this song sums up the whole piece, although it sings goodbye & hello all the time, It 's about saying goodbye,
but can you understand what it's trying to say?

Xiami address: http://www.xiami.com/song/1770301036
hello goodbye&hello
encounters are always short-lived at this moment I will say goodbye to you
hello goodbye&hello
and say hello to the world without you on

that day I still don’t know the real parting
gradually Broken hearts have been looking for your shadow

If I can reach your ears
, I still have a lot of things to say to you,
I am willing to give you my heart and soul for your unchanging smile
, and make an oath that I will never give up

hello goodbye&hello
Encounter is always short, I will say goodbye to you at this moment
hello goodbye & hello
And say hello to this world without you The

warm memories of the past are clearly still lingering on you
The futile memories that you keep going back but are empty memories The

wish that you don’t want to lose
is the most unreachable That star
, the vast sky is like a distant tomorrow,
although it is boundless, but I still want to stretch out my hands

hello goodbye&hello
I will always remember your bits and pieces in my heart
hello goodbye&hello
and then follow this road without you

from falling in love with you From the moment
I have walked on this road of no return

hello goodbye&hello
encounter is always short and I will say goodbye to you at this moment
hello goodbye&hello
and say hello to this world without you

hello goodbye&hello
encounter is always short and I will say goodbye to you at this moment
hello goodbye&hello
Then say hello to this world without you
