Miyazaki's successor is still unique, Makoto Shinkai

The first reaction, Brother Cheng really tried to transform, the Ghibli world view Ghibli set up Ghibli props... [Chasing the Stars] is simply a replica of the Ghibli Collection. Brother Cheng really wants to be the successor of the old palace? However, the shortcomings of the feature film narrative, whether it is the other side of the cloud or this film, are so obvious that people complain. Brother Cheng also likes to set up various grand worldviews by himself. The two feature films are full of rich fantasy settings. The progress of the story is inherently difficult, which is really painful. Generally speaking, the characteristics of Cheng Ge’s promotion of feature films are no different from those of short films, the fragmentary rhythm is particularly obvious, the narration is fragmented and fragmented, and then there is a sudden climax (the climax can be judged by listening to the soundtrack, really. laughing and crying). Brother, the plot has not yet been explained, all kinds of incredible things to be explained are fragmented, where does the emotional climax come from?

In this film, the world view combined with myths and legends is already huge, and the motif also involves life and death. As a result, the story and characters are almost subject to a large number of background penetrations and symbolic expressions, the story is dry and boring, the two main characters show a non-three-dimensional mask-like existence, and the other characters are unknown due to inexplicable settings. In the end, the story line is weak, the characters can't stand up, and the emotional penetration is also deformed and broken. There are too many shadows of Ghibli in it, except for a few places such as Nebula, we can't even see the characteristics of the exclusive Brother Cheng.

Now it seems that the tearful [5cm per second] is actually my favorite Brother Cheng. The simple and ordinary character stories have unparalleled realistic emotional resonance. [Voice of the Stars] The unreachable space distance between the two of them, and the growth and isolation of the two of them [Second Speed], both caused the indescribable memory wounds of ordinary people. Even if the narrative fails like [Beyond the Cloud], the reality in the first half of the narrative can still touch the little things in our hearts, and in the second half, the emotional line makes up for the shortcomings of the sci-fi story. This is the greatest charm of Brother Cheng! A wonderful brushstroke that renders a painting that belongs to everyone's emotional memory.

For Brother Cheng, the transformation is of great significance, and it is also a manifestation of his courage. For him, the ability of feature film narrative must be improved. Although he has the capital to closely follow Gong Lao in the creation of the short film, too much injury will affect his future development. As for the successor, as far as the current situation is concerned, Ghibli Faner is really not suitable for him. I still sincerely hope that Brother Cheng will come out of his own sky and return to the world where the pink cherry blossoms are flying all over the sky.
