How beautiful fairy tales are, how cruel reality is

Sitting on the sofa watching this movie, when I saw the scene where the boys and girls were wearing school uniforms and galloping all the way on bicycles, my roommate looked over and said, "If I was still in Girls' Generation, I might like this movie very much. A kind of cartoon."
Watching a movie is probably also about timing.
If I go back a few years, I can only see the ambiguous friendship between two men and one woman, the green grass and tender leaves in early spring, the streets and breezes at dusk, bicycles, playgrounds, sweet confessions, and bodies Touch... All I can see is these beautiful and melancholy things with the imprint of youth.
I do not know the true face of Mount Lu, only because I am in this mountain. Just waiting for you to take a step outside, it will be revealed, the best and the cruelest, there is nothing to hide.

In my opinion, this is a two-line story. One line is the story of Makoto and the other is the story of "Aunt the Witch". These two stories are different from each other, telling the beauty of growth, the pain and the irreversibility of youth.

"I also had this ability."

When Makoto accidentally discovered that she could travel through time and space, she went to "Aunt the Witch". Auntie said something about the truth of traveling through time and space, and then said: I have this ability, too. When Makoto opened her eyes wide and asked in detail, my aunt gave a common example and passed it off.
Traveling through time and space is actually a kind of "correction" ability.
Are you late? Again, get up a little earlier.
Embarrassed? Again, just be careful.
Failed exam? Once again, a little effort will do.
Did you miss many opportunities and sweet moments? Once again, just cherish it.
It doesn't matter if you make a mistake with serious consequences, just do it again, and you can correct it.
Aunt Witch said that time and space themselves will not change, so it is you who traveled through time and space.
The troubles you get into and the mistakes you make won't change, but you still have youth. Youth is an almighty time machine with countless possibilities, no matter how bad the situation, you have a chance to start over, and all the people around you will sincerely forgive you and sincerely help you. You are still young, you are a child in a fairy tale, even if you are eaten by a big bad wolf, you can still come back to life.
Each of us has had this ability to travel through time and space. We blunder and riot with impunity, using deviant and world-weary outliers as brand names that make us different. We are bold and bold, just because we vaguely know that if I am wrong, there is still time to start all over again. Youth is our most reliable bargaining chip.
So my aunt always said, you can do this, you can do that, if you can't go back to the past, you can do it.

It's a pity that youth only comes once. Unfortunately, the number of times you can travel through time and space is limited.
You won't realize it at first. You will be like a real piano, wasting your youth on so many boring things - so much time, so much you don't know what to do with it, so much that you thought today would be forever, and forever will always be with today Same.
Until one day, you find that there is a limit to the number of willful "corrections".
"It turns out that there is only one left." Makoto looked at the "01" on her arm and thought blankly.
It turns out there's only so much left - but I haven't done anything yet.
Moreover, with the little chance left, we still used it to do boring things - the movie made Makoto achieve a budding love for the last time, but adolescence love, you have to admit, is just a A waste of time and excess energy.
Once we run out of time travels, we can't go back.

"He said he would wait for me in the future"

Longping said to Makoto before leaving: I will wait for you in the future.
So far, the story is already a happy ending of a youth fairy tale: a beautiful life will be waiting for our prince and princess in the future.
This is the good thing about fairy tales: it never has to face reality. After the prince and princess were together after all the hardships, the pink curtain slowly fell, and the audience got up and left with satisfied smiles and fantasy filled with colorful bubbles.
But the end of the fairy tale is the beginning of reality.
Aunt Witch said: The man said he would come back, but he never came back.
At the end of our boyhood, the people and events we thought would be waiting for us in the future will never be encountered again, never will happen again.
He really thinks that he will wait for you in the future, and you really think that you can wait until that future - the cruelty of youth is that everyone is sincere and eager, everyone is innocent and pure, but everyone can't get what they want. There are no artificial obstacles on the way to our destination, but we just can't get there. (When you grow up, you experience deceit and rudeness, but you find that some purposes can be overcome or even achieved by deceit and rudeness. You don’t understand why the purest wishes in the age of innocence are out of reach anyway.)
You know Makoto can't wait for Longping. Like a witch aunt, she would occasionally remember that when she could travel through time and space, there was a person who said that he was coming to find her, but somehow got separated.

    Cicadas chirping, tree shadows, white clouds, summer, the sound of the piano, baseball gloves, the cool breeze when cycling to school, the sunset after school in the evening, the slight coolness between the bookshelves in the library, and the endless hustle and bustle in the basketball court. Time rushes day after day, but youth in peacetime seems to always look like this. Youth has an ageless face.

    The scene is meticulous but the characters are not beautiful. Why didn't Makoto take advantage of the good opportunity to travel through time and space to make a fortune? No wonder Qian Zhao said that it was fortunate that an idiot had this special ability. Also, the scene when Qian Zhao confessed to Makoto for the first time was quite cute, and he was forced to repeat it countless times without giving up, hehe.

    Yuri Hayakawa: I see... That's what I thought. I passed him on my way here. Go.

    [Makoto nods]

  • [Chiaki just asked out Makoto and to avoid it, she leaps back to a conversation with Kousuke that happened a few minutes before. Upon landing, she clangs her head against a sign]

    Chiaki Mamiya: Uh, what the hell are you doing down there?

    Makoto Konno: Nothing at all.

    Chiaki Mamiya: Don't come crying to me when you change your mind too late about dating that girl.

    Kousuke Tsuda: Can we please just drop it now?

    [Turns and walks away]

    Chiaki Mamiya: See ya!

    Kousuke Tsuda: Later!

    Chiaki Mamiya: Hey where's your bike? Get on, I'll double ya.

    Makoto Konno: [Swallows nervously, remembering what happened before]

    Chiaki Mamiya: [Riding the bike home, with Makoto on the back again] That loser Kousuke, beat me to it.

    Makoto Konno: It's not as if he decided to go out with her.

    Chiaki Mamiya: That's what he says now, but I bet if he got a girlfriend then he'd always pick her over us.

    Makoto Konno: You can't be sure about that.

    Chiaki Mamiya: Oh man, without Kousuke, we'd only be able to toss the ball around.

    Chiaki Mamiya: So anyway, if Kousuke finds a girlfriend...

    Makoto Konno: LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY SISTER!

    Chiaki Mamiya: DO YOU WANNA GO OUT WITH ME?

    [Makoto leaps back yet again and realizing that Chiaki is going to ask her out despite her trying to change the conversation, she proceeds to walk home to avoid it altogether]
