Looking at the ratings on Douban, I'm embarrassed to give two stars

In the end, I still gave two stars, because I feel that this plot is not even comparable to Big Fish and Begonia.

At first, I was attracted by the cover of this movie and the name "Summer Wars", which made people think it was the summer of Hisaishi Joe. However.... in terms of picture, it feels ordinary, not very good in Japanese animation movies, but not bad.

The plot is flawed, and I have a lot of things to complain about.

First of all, the whole OZ world view is very strange. It is such a real virtual scene, but it is controlled by a flip phone, and I have no idea how it works. I feel the burning feeling of "haven't lost yet" that the whole film wants to convey, and I like it very much. But why did the pressure to save the world fall on the ordinary protagonist and his party so inexplicably when something so serious broke out! What about the OZ people? What about the US military? ? ? Did the ice cubes quietly move away from the room where the machine was placed? ? ? When fighting the big boss, it is completely displayed in the virtual scene in OZ, the expressiveness is very good, but! I can't control myself not to think about what's behind it. After thinking about it, the result is - what the hell is this TM.

and! The most unacceptable point is! The female lead should have no feelings for the male lead at first, right? Who adores and adore your uncle, right? After the male protagonist "Little" showed his magical powers, did he fall in love immediately? ? ? This is even more unbearable than the plot in Big Fish and Begonia! ! !

Finally, what I like most in this movie is KING KAZUMA. I always thought it was a handsome girl, but it turned out to be a boy...

Summer Wars quotes

  • Sakae Jinnouchi: [a letter in an envelope reading: To the family - read when the time comes, from passed away granny Sakae Jinnouchi, read in her voice] To my family. // First, take yourselves a deep breath. Crying and carrying on doesn't help anything. Make my funeral arrangement a simple affair, just our close friends, and then go back to your day-to-day lives. I don't have anything to leave you in a way of an inheritance. That said, I'm sure my old acquaintances will keep an eye on Jin'nôchi family. No need to worry, my dears. You've always been hard workers, and I know you'll keep it up. And grant me this. If Wabisuke should ever make his way back home... He's been gone ten years and counting now, so who's to say if that day will ever come... But if he does, I'm sure he'll be hungry. He never took proper care of himself and probably weren't even eating right. So, let him have as many vegetables from the fields as he wants. And the grapes and peaches, too, he always loved those the best. I remember the day we first met. Even now it's clear as a bell, his little ears look just like my husband's. Definitely, his father's son. We walked through the field of morning glories and I told him he would be our child from that day forward. He didn't say a single word, but his hand wrapped all the tighter around my finger. I was so happy to be giving him the family he needed. I like to think he could feel the happiness radiating off of me. Never turn your back on family, even when they hurt you. Never let life get the better of you. And if you remember nothing else, remember to find time to eat together as a family, even when times are rough; especially when times are rough. There's no lack of painful things in this world, but hunger and loneliness must surely be two of the worst. Thanks to you, my precious family, I didn't know a moment of either of those the last ninety years. // Love you all. Good bye.

  • Ri'ichi Jin'nôchi: ...You have to protect others in order to protect yourself.

    Tasuke Jin'nôchi: At the Self-Defence Force motto?

    Ri'ichi Jin'nôchi: Not exactly. I just lifted it from Seven Samurai.
