The story starts with a cherry blossom ramp. The first episode begins with a gloomy sky, which feels depressing, followed by the monologue of Okazaki Tomiya. At that time, he was still such a young boy with nothing to do. Although he was not as annoying and mischievous as Chunyuan Yangping, he had no passion for life, a town he hated, a home he didn't want to go back to, and bad memories, all of which were destroying this man. Youth's hope and confidence in life. He longed for change, but was at a loss. However, on such an ordinary day, on the ramp where the cherry blossoms were dancing, he met her, the girl who shouted "bean paste bag" to give herself courage, she said "happy things and happy things , all of this, all of this can't remain the same, even so, do you still like this place?" Even though she knew she wasn't talking to him, he still answered her question, "And then Isn't it alright to look for it?" She wondered, and he repeated, "Those happy and joyful things, can't you just look for them again?" The picture instantly turned into color, and everything became clear. Clannad's story starts from here , kicked off. When I first watched it, I just thought this scene was very beautiful, but it was not until I watched AS that I understood the deep meaning of the plot in these few minutes. As can be seen from the episode 23 of AS, he had met her as early as a year before he met, but he didn't know her. He met her twice and made fun of her once. real encounter. She is a lonely girl who can't make friends. She is weak and often sick. He is a lonely boy who hates everything and can't find the hope and meaning of life. It is fate, or fate, that connects these two lonely souls and influences each other, thus starting a new life for each other. At that time, neither he nor she knew that this encounter on the cherry blossom ramp would change their lives forever.
An encounter, let the two slowly get to know each other. He may have seen her loneliness, or he may have seen his own shadow in her. He began to chat with her slowly. Under his guidance, the shy she also slowly began to open up and try to be with her. It was him who got along with others, who gave her the courage to face the outside world when she was most lonely and closed. Then it started with the rebuilding of the drama department, slowly unfolding the story of the Clannad campus. Each character takes up a few episodes. Although there is not much space, at the end of each story, they point to their own topic. The truth behind each story really reflects the good intentions of the screenwriter.
First is Fengzi, one of my favorite characters in the whole play, the ghost of the rumored middle school. Her wish is to get everyone's blessings when her sister Ibuki gets married, but she also understands that others won't go to the son's wedding without any reason, so she simply uses the remaining wood in the art classroom to carve out starfish I just want everyone to go to the wedding and give blessings on the day of my sister's wedding after receiving the gift. Then they met Tomoya and Nagisa. They decided to help this cute little girl fulfill her wish. They carved starfish together at Furukawa's house and helped to give them to all the classmates in the school. During this process, Fengzi also met other people in the school. Friends, everything looks so good. But the plot after that was slowly saddening. Tomoya and Nagisa invited the son to the founder's festival. They planned to let her meet with her sister, but unexpectedly she couldn't see Fengzi at all, and they finally believed that Fengzi was a ghost. fact. The gift-giving is still going on, but Fengzi is slowly being forgotten by friends who don't have deep feelings for it, and those who have received gifts can't remember why they received the wood carving of this starfish. Fortunately, Tomoya and Nagisa still remember that they faced the forgotten facts together with Fengzi, but they also know in their hearts that one day, they will forget Fengzi like everyone else. But, even if you forget, at least when you remember, you must cherish it, and definitely, will accompany her to face it together. Seeing that the wedding was approaching, everyone almost forgot about receiving gifts, and naturally they also forgot about the wedding. After that, Nagisa's parents also forgot about Fengzi, so they had to take her to school. From then on, the first important tear was when Fengzi asked Tomoya and Nagisa to call each other affectionate nicknames. It was that night, because of Fengzi's Encouraged, let Tomoya and Nagisa begin to slowly ignite the spark of love. Still remember the warm scene, the three of them snuggled together under the candlelight, Nagisa said lightly, "It's like a family." At that moment, who could have thought of the next plot and their future destiny?
The next day, the two woke up and wondered why they were sleeping in the classroom. I just realized that they had forgotten Fengzi. Fortunately, at the suggestion of Yukimura-sensei, they finally met Fengzi again, but I already knew that this kind of beauty would not last long. Then came the wedding, and it was the second tear. Everyone who received the gift finally remembered attending the wedding, but they seemed to have forgotten the style. My sister's wedding, as Fengzi hoped, was blessed by everyone. When the young master sensed Fengzi's existence and accepted her gifts and blessings, I couldn't help crying. For Fengzi's persistence Touched, even if everyone will forget her, but at least she has worked hard, she has been known and helped by such a group of lovely friends, and moved everyone with a sincere heart, then, even if it is forgotten, what does it matter? As she said when she appeared again later: "It doesn't matter if you don't remember now, we will meet again at the right time." This sentence actually paved the way for the next few words of AS. In the first season, after Fengzi disappeared The three appearances made me very excited, and in AS, she has never played a role, and when she appeared again, it was Ifuko after being discharged from the hospital. She doesn't remember Tomoya anymore, Tomoya doesn't remember her anymore, but they have reunited in a natural way, and she and Xi became good friends, and it was at this moment that she finally understood the meaning of Fengzi's words. The fate of people and people is sometimes doomed. If there is fate, they will meet even if they have experienced too much. Fengzi and them are destined. Although everyone no longer remembers her in the end, she recovered and got to know everyone again. Everything is a brand new beginning. Although the memory is gone, the inner feelings are still there. Another way to integrate into everyone's life, which in itself, is a kind of happiness.
After spending so much pen and ink on my favorite Fengzi, I will continue to talk about how I feel about the other characters. After the story of Fengzi, it is the story of Qin Mei. As a talented girl at Guangzaka High School, she has an insurmountable gap with ordinary classmates, but it is also because of Tomoya that she slowly begins to accept the outside world, and her closeness to Tomoya is because of a past event. There is not much to say about this plot. The only thing I feel is the thinking that Kotomi’s story gave me, that is, a child’s future and way of doing things are largely related to his childhood experiences. Bearing a great responsibility, like parents, to make their own contribution to this society. The reason why she studied so hard was her self-imposed redemption. The envelope that she burned by mistake was always regarded as her parents' paper. It was because of such remorse and sense of redemption that Qin Mei went on the path of a gifted girl. Said to be a kind of luck, or a kind of misfortune. At the end of Qin Mei's story, she got the relics left by her parents back then, a leather box. There were no papers or academic materials in it, but it was just the bear that her parents bought her. So I finally understood why she felt so cordial when she saw the bear queen played by Tomoyo, because that was a dream that she could not achieve when she was a child! She is just a little girl who longs to be loved by her parents, but even playing with her parents is an extravagant hope. It is also because of such resentment that she has the act of burning papers. It's not that her parents didn't love her, it was just that at the beginning, they were blinded by their career and ignored their love for Qin Mei, but at the last moment of their lives, they chose to give up all the achievements, just to free up the box and send it to their daughter. A desired bear doll. This is what a pair of parents can give to their children. The last bit of love has also taught me to learn to choose between family and career. As a parent, if you can’t even give your children the most basic care and are busy with your career, even if No matter how successful you are, you are a failure as a parent. As parents in the future, we need to contribute to this society, but what we need most is to learn to give children, love and care. Such a life is complete.
After finishing Qin Mei's story, what follows is a few episodes of emotional entanglement. No need to talk about it. The show itself is not too close to love, but more about family and friendship. However, he still sighed with emotion when Nagisa and his friends walked away with the help of Tomoyo's subtle reaction, as well as the hugging and crying of the Fujibayashi sisters. After all, watching a loved one find his own belonging, besides blessing, there will be so much sadness. Those years of time and love are still so young and ignorant, but I just fell in love with them inexplicably, but I had to face the reality. Fortunately, it is all blessings. There is no such absurd contention. Everything is so peaceful. However, after all, it is easy to fall in love with someone, and it is so difficult to really forget it. Those girls' hearts and sorrows, it is estimated that they are only themselves, let's know it cold and warm!
After Nagisa's return from illness, the girls' storyline stagnates, and the main line of Nagisa officially begins. Rebuild the drama department, the subject of dreams. After a lot of things, everyone's friendship has become strong. Everyone has made their own efforts to rebuild the drama club. After that, Tomoyo became the student council president smoothly, and the drama club was rebuilt as wished. Nagisa began to formally compose his own drama, and it was at this time that I learned about the past that was hidden by Sanae and Qiusheng. That part also touched me deeply. Similar to Kotomi's parents, Sanae and Qiusheng also neglected to take care of their daughter because of their work, but compared to the work of Kotomi's parents, Sanae and Qiusheng are more like pursuing their dreams. They are not thinking about how much to contribute to the society, just because they like it. and do it with love. However, Nagisa fell ill due to poor care. At the moment when they thought they were about to lose their daughter, Qiusheng and his wife realized the importance of family love. As long as their daughter can grow up healthy and healthy, what is it to give up their dreams? When you have a family, you have corresponding responsibilities. You can no longer act as willful as you used to. For the happiness of your family, you sometimes have to make some choices. Judging from the life attitude of Qiusheng and his wife, they gave up their dreams and did not become decadent because of it. The two happily opened a bakery, occasionally making noises because of Sanae's unpalatable bread (every time I see this scene, I feel Funny), having a lovely daughter, such a simple life, is also a kind of happiness. While giving up their dreams, they gained a safe and happy family, which is the best thing. So on the stage of the school festival, when Nagisa couldn't perform his own performance because he knew the truth and cried with guilt, the appearance of Qiusheng and those few shouts brought tears to the eyes again. They gave up too much for Nagisa, so Nagisa's dream is their dream, and the happiness of the child is the happiness of the parents. At the same time, the realization of Nagisa's dream is actually the continuation and sustenance of everyone's dream. Because they could not realize it themselves, everyone tried their best to help Nagisa. The process of turning all regrets and regrets into blessings and helping others realize their dreams is also a kind of dream fulfillment of oneself.
After the school festival, Tomoya Okazaki and Nagisa Furukawa also confirmed their romantic relationship, and they happily held hands with sister Mei, and at the same time ushered in the end of the first season. After that is the story of AS. Half of the episodes are still used to tell the respective stories of several supporting characters. The opening few words of Chunyuan Yangping have already foreshadowed the entire theme of AS. If the theme of the first season of CL is "youth and dreams", then the theme of the second season of AS is "growth and responsibility". The love between Shima and Misae makes people relaxed a few words, and the fantasy love fairy tale adds some different colors to AS. The story of the Miyazawa brothers and sisters also touched me. A weak little girl, because of the death of her brother in the underworld, shouldered the heavy responsibility of maintaining the peace of the town. No one asked her to do so, but she relied on her own efforts to get the two sides of the gang. Trust, the enemy and the enemy will take care of them after they fight and get injured. What she longs for is to stop the struggle and restore peace to the town. In the eyes of outsiders, this kind of behavior is futile. How can a weak woman, with her own insignificant efforts, quell the disputes between the two gangs. So I could only hide the fact of my brother's death, trying to use my brother's prestige to make the other party not dare to commit crimes, but secretly, only one person was struggling to maintain it. In the battle of courage in Chapter 8, I saw the role of weak personal power in changing the overall situation. In order to maintain the peace of the town, Tomoya dared to fight against the black boss. Even if he was beaten, he was not afraid. In the end, Miyazawa's disguise is even more admirable. They finally gained the respect of their opponents and the peace of the whole town with their own efforts. Evil forces are a phenomenon that exists everywhere, but people do not do evil for no reason. They also need care, tolerance and understanding. Whenever possible, use love and light to melt such darkness, just like Miyazawa and Tomoya. There must be miracles.
Miyazawa's line is over, and the entire AS has officially returned to the main line. Nagisa falls ill and repeats the grade again, while the others graduate, and soon the plot, those kids grow up like this. The next few episodes were mediocre, but they were the most realistic episodes in the entire CL. I saw Tomoya's growth little by little and Yoshino's narration of his past, and Tomoya gradually understood that as a man, he should take responsibility. Also let friends understand the importance of family. And then his father's change made Tomoya collapse. At this time, Nagisa gave him support and encouragement, and he finally plucked up the courage to give Nagisa happiness. Immediately followed by a few words, marriage, pregnancy, childbirth. I still remember the conversation when they were on the bank of the river. The two named the child together and promised to be happy forever and go to see the sea together next year. That kind of beauty is in stark contrast to the cruelty behind, which is even more touching.
Because I didn't want to see the spoiler before, I knew the result of Nagisa's death, and the dystocia in episode 16 was not unexpected, but I still watched it with tears. Fortunately, the director did not focus on portraying Nagisa's death. At the beginning of episode 17, five years later, Tomoya became decadent because of Nagisa's departure, so Sanae deliberately arranged for him to go on a trip with his daughter Shio, and since then the most tear-jerking words , When I saw Xi desperately looking for the lost robot, facing my father's puzzlement, and said "because that was the first time my father helped me buy and help me choose a gift", I finally couldn't help these episodes. The accumulated sadness, at that moment, I finally understood the child's desire and cherishment for the parent's love, and also understood the importance of the parent's love to the child. When I heard Xi say, "I can't bear it anymore. Sanae said that I can only cry in the toilet and in my father's arms", I was even more moved to cry. It turned out that Xio went to the toilet so many times, just to cry well. In one scene, this cute and strong little girl is the most tear-jerking character in the entire CL. Grandma's remarks made Tomoya finally understand his father's painstaking efforts and understand his father's difficulties, and as a father, he also knew that he should cheer up and let Xi, who lost his mother, stop losing his father's love. Sometimes, the painstaking efforts of the elders can only be experienced when he is a real parent. The death of his wife makes him fall into decadence, while love and responsibility make him stronger again. Back in the town, he was completely transformed, facing life positively and optimistically, and brought Shio back from Sanae and Qiusheng, and began to fulfill his responsibilities as a father, and then he and his father released the plot. , It is also touching, there is no eternal hatred in life, learn to forgive, learn to consider and feel from the perspective of the other party, happiness may be by your side.
However, the beauty could not continue. At the beginning of episode 21, Xi fell ill and fell. It was the same illness as Nagisa, and it was destined to be physically weak. Seeing this, I roughly guessed the ending of Shio Hui's death. Sure enough, under the continuous tear-jerking plot, Tomoya took Xi to fulfill his wish to travel. On the same day with heavy snow, the strong Xi, step by step, walked towards the end of his life. Tears flowed again. Then, at the end of the story, there was a major turning point in the plot, and the story of the ending world was finally explained. Shio was the lonely girl in the ending world, and the robot was Okazaki Tomiya in another time and space. The reason for feeling that world. Because the girl and the robot destroyed that lonely world with faith, a miracle happened, changed the situation of Tomoya's world, and brought Tomoya back to the moment when his wife gave birth five years ago. . All the previous sadness was transformed into joy in this final sentence. Fuzi went to find Shio who was sleeping under the tree, and the main storyline drew a perfect ending under the greenery. The picture at the end also contrasts with the gloomy weather in the first chapter. After experiencing too many things, everyone has found their own belief and hope in life. Without the previous confusion and darkness, life and the future have also become It's full of sunshine like the ending picture, and everything is so beautiful. This also established the status of Clannad's healing animation.
I have roughly introduced the plot of CL, and finally I can write about my comprehensive feelings about this drama. Looking at the whole CL, it is not difficult to find that the whole play describes the relationship between people and groups, people and people, and people and themselves. Although we are all independent individuals, as far as the entire society is concerned, when each independent person is grouped together, people are connected to each other, and they become a circle. When people in the circle help and care for each other, "Home" is formed. Before they met, Tomoya and Nagisa were lonely people. They didn't have any friends, and they couldn't feel the care of the friends around them. If they just blindly lived in their own worlds, if they didn't have that encounter on the cherry blossom road , everything, maybe it's just so plain, the life of the two people will not change. But they met like this, had an intersection, then became friends, met Fuko, and then formed circles with sisters Fujibayashi, Tomoyo, Kotomi, Miyazawa, Haruhara, etc., and everyone helped her realize her dream, because with this The strength, inferiority and weakness of Nagisa also began to slowly become strong and courageous. These strengths were given to her by her friends, but also by herself. With the help and love of these friends, she no longer feels lonely. Although the initial change was given by Peng Ye, in fact, Peng also saw hope in life during this process, even if the family is unsatisfactory, even if the changes in the town are annoying, at least in this small circle, there are so many A group of people worthy of his help and concern, this is what he has and a life worth cherishing. In the process of helping others and facing each other together, Tomoya, Nagisa, Kotomi and many others have found the value of their existence. Since we live in society, we will inevitably intersect with others. No one can live in this world in complete isolation. The only difference is how big or small your circle is. The big family of dumplings, this title perfectly reflects the definition of the whole film, our society is a "home", the circle of life is a "home", and the one who stays with relatives and faces suffering and happiness A place is a real home. These homes together are a "family", and each of us is a member of this family, whether it is a school student, a gangster or a neighbor, in CL's world, everyone gets Reasonable and fair treatment, no intrigue, no intrigue, some are all love and care. CL's moving lies in the details, in the bits and pieces of ordinary life, allowing people to understand life in those stories. The general review of AS's 24 episodes almost pointed out the essence of the entire CL, those youth in the campus The years of Guanghe's growth after entering the society are actually witnessed by a group of people. They accompanied each other through a certain journey of life, and then continued to start strong with the memories and beliefs gained during that process. New life, intersection with new people, forming a new "home". Once isolated, they learned how to love and be loved in that process, and they also jumped from their own narrowness to the breadth of life. Just like the name "Xi", they know how to tolerate and love. This is one of the meanings that CL gives us, learning to open our hearts to the outside world and feel the existence of our family.
Through the respective stories of several characters in the play and the final main line of AS, it is not difficult to see the biggest theme that CL wants to express - love and protection. Review some important plots: In order to make his son live a happy life, Tomoya's father suffered a lot; in order to let his daughter have fatherly love, Tomoya recovered from his decadence; in order to restore her parents' writings, Qin Mei kept forcing herself to study and inherit her parents' work. career; in order not to be demolished, Tomoyo simply transferred to another school and worked hard for a position; in order to fulfill his brother's wish, Miyazawa maintained the peace of the town by himself; for his unsatisfactory brother, Mei was in the football team again and again. They mocked and picked up the ball; in order for Nagisa to grow up healthy, Sanae and Qiusheng were willing to give up their dreams; even in the world of the end, in order to keep the girl from being alone, the robots piled up those tattered copper and iron again and again, even if it was only in vain. Just ask, which one of them, the motive for doing this is for themselves? Aside from the help of their friends, there is only one reason why they will do everything, even giving up a lot of things, and that is to protect their important people. They are not great enough to save the world or society, nor are they great enough to try to change or influence anyone, all they have to do is simply make the person they feel important to be happy. Because of that person, because of this belief, he also has the motivation to persevere. In this world, there are always one or two people who are worth protecting with our lives. This is what I always believe.
The two seasons add up to more than 50 episodes of Clannad, and after a careful review, I have the above feelings. In fact, there are still many feelings that have not been written down. Those are some influences and beliefs that go deep into the heart. Those feelings are difficult to describe in words. To fully summarize the feelings brought by this classic work, it is really Not easy. But in general, what CL awakens is our numbness to ordinary life. We always demand too much beauty and have too many visions. In fact, as long as we discover with our hearts, the best life is by our side. With love and gratitude, it is possible to create hope. The characters and stories in the play also represent some of the qualities that people need to get along with and live in society. Okazaki is love, Nagisa is serious, Fuko is persistent, Xing is straightforward, Muku is clever, and Tomoyo is heroic. , Kotomi is commitment, Chunyuan is protection, Shima is commitment, Miyazawa is caring, Yoshino is hard work, and the responsibility that elders show to their children.
And just like the legend of that small town, when something good happens, the jade of light will appear at that moment of happiness. That is actually the love and harmony that we have accumulated little by little in our ordinary life and in getting along with people. Hopefully, with these lights, we will no longer be afraid of the dark, and through such light, we can illuminate the road ahead and make the future no longer confused. Our life is a big family of dumplings, there are people who guard our hearts, and those who accompany them through life. Because of the existence of those people, there will be love and warmth. Believe in hope, know how to cherish, and everything will become beautiful.
