Why say so much?

Vague thunder Vague thunder,
hazy sky , hazy sky
, but I hope the wind and rain come. Even if there is no rain,
I can stay here . Also good. Makoto Shinkai is a very interesting director, although his previous works are very depressing and depressing, but this movie is really full of positive energy (at least for me). Each of his works has a main color, from the dark mystery of the universe in "Whispers of the Stars", to the pink of the cherry blossoms in "Second 5", and the current green. The narrative has also become much smoother. This is progress, although I had hoped he would make a sequel to Second 5, but this movie is the antithesis of Second 5. The title of the movie is called "The Garden of Words", as I see it, it should mean the Garden of Tanka. It was said in Second 5 that even though we have sent so many text messages, our hearts have never been close to 1CM. In this film, what we want is not how many words we can say, but how close our hearts can be. For me, Second 5 is a story about two hearts becoming farther apart, and this story is about how two hearts get closer in silence.




I don't know if you have ever been stabbed in the heart by a man or woman older and mature than you. At least, I know that I have, and many girls have been poked into the heart by mature uncles more or less. Maybe those mature men and women represent "the secret of the whole world" to us. Just like the feet in the animation, for Qiuyue, it is the secret of the whole world. When they touch those feet, the distance between their hearts will become closer.
In the movie, except for one scene when the hero and heroine meet, there is no rain. Every time they meet, it is accompanied by rain. The rain carries the breath of the sky and also "love". So the last downpour also brought the most exciting part of the whole story. When Xueye took that step barefoot, she had already learned to "walk" and learned to go further, when Qiuyue's confession said When exporting, he also learned how to take that step. The story from May to September, for them, was the best years of their lives.
Sometimes, why do they have to be so close to each other, why do they have to talk so much. They have said too many things, but their hearts are far from each other, so why not keep silent and communicate with your heart.
Sometimes, we are all just practicing hard to take that step, no matter whether it is Qiuyue's confession or Yukino's last barefoot downstairs in the rain. Isn't this the last step everyone is trying to take?
One day, we can walk more steadily and farther, then let's go to her.
