It’s been a long time since I stopped to watch a movie seriously and write a movie review.
I have experienced too much and too much in the past six months. I have
received a lot of new content in my body and mind, and my body and mind have undergone considerable changes, and my
heart is filled with peace and joy.

Life The accelerated pace of
life
made me urgently need to adjust.
So on a cooler afternoon, I
watched this movie that I was looking forward to a year ago.

I have always liked the humanistic Miyazaki's movies. This movie is even more so . The expectations of Hayao Miyazaki and his son Goro Miyazaki can be seen.

The background of the story is that in the early 1960s, Japan, recovering from the heavy blow of World War II, is being re-established at an extremely fast speed under the watchful eyes of the world. own status.
The soaring economy has jumped from a defeated country to an economic power that is about to host the Olympic Games in less than a dozen years. It is really impressive.

Located in a seaport town in Yokohama, the four sisters and brothers of the Matsuzaki family lived with their residents. living an ordinary life. The 16-year-old sister Hai takes care of everyone's food and clothing, and routinely raises the signal flag for safe navigation in the early morning.
My sister's father was a sailor, and the supply ship where she served as the captain of the Korean War was sunk and left her. My mother was a professor but worked in the United States.
Grandma and her took care of such a large family.
The industrious sister kept everything in good order.

The peaceful high school life in those days was broken by an accident. Hai met Jun Kazama, a boy in the news department of the same school. A beautiful color. At the same time, the Tokyo Olympics is about to be held, and the old building "Latin Plaza" where Jun Uchi and a group of friends live in the school is facing the fate of being demolished.
In order to protect the sacred place in their hearts, Jun, Hai and their friends unite. In the process, a secret affection quietly grows in their hearts, but an unexpected fate stands in front of each other.

Jun found out that the sea he liked was most likely his twin sister.
So he deliberately kept the distance from her, which also hurt the sea who was kept in the dark.
But the two still did their own things and worked together to protect them. Plaza Latina

After they used their sincerity and that moved the school's board director to successfully keep the Plaza Latina from being demolished,
their lives and fortunes also changed in the right direction.

When they met their father's old comrade-in-arms , They finally figured out their life experience.
It turns out that Hai and Jun's father and the old comrade-in-arms who are already captains are very close friends. That is to say, Jun's father and Hai's father are not the same person. After the

truth came out. The hearts of the two of them are closer.
As Hai said, "It is because I raise the signal flag to call my father and father every morning that you are sent to me instead of him." The

whistle sounded. The captain's ship The ship also sailed out of Yokohama Bay. The captain said with tears in his eyes, "It is the
happiest moment in my life to be able to see the children of my two old comrades who have died."

, it was very touching. The music at the end also played a sensational role.
"さよならの夏" has been listening to me over and over again and again and again this summer. I can really
think of many, many things.

Hayao Miyazaki's family style.
After watching this movie, the kind of emotion in my heart came spontaneously, and my whole body was healed.
In my heart, this movie has far surpassed last year's "Borrowing Things" "The Villain Arrietty", and it is on an equal footing with "City in the Sky", which has always been my favorite. At the same time, it is very thought-provoking

to recommend another animated film "Remembrance of a Pilot" that is also very healing .


It's another summer in Germany. It's really a complicated mood.
Let me experience it slowly and carefully. In
the sweet dream of summer, I can vaguely see the hillside where the poppies are blooming.

    The story looks like dog blood, but the picture is full of feelings, nostalgia for the past, healing of the wounds of war, and the motif of cultural conservation is added to the love story, which is the usual Ghibli style. Borrowing objects to chant, and borrowing scenery to express emotions──Youth is so good

    #Shanghai Cinema# It’s so good to skip class, youth! For me, who has never watched Ghibli, it's OK to watch it as a bloody youth drama. At least the painting style is simple, the music is beautiful, and there is a touch of sadness and sorrow from beginning to end.
