The film is a realistic animation created by Makoto Shinkai. It was officially released in Japan on March 3, 2007. The animation describes a pair of friends who were inseparable when they were teenagers. After transferring schools and moving away, the chance for the two to meet has also decreased, but the love they had when they were young and frivolous always followed each other's hearts. Time flies, and it is always a delicate thing to meet. Later, they have their own lives, but occasionally they still think of the green and beautiful relationship when they were 13 years old, and then they suddenly understand the unspoken love. . I also have my own understanding of this movie. Youth, like a cup of tea, is full of fragrance. Everyone has experienced youth, process or happiness, or sadness, but in the end, they cannot escape the passage of time. No matter how beautiful youth is, there are always so many shortcomings, which cannot be made up or pursued, and can only be kept in the mind of memory, occasionally miss, miss the self like Zeng Jin, miss the once invincible feelings. We are getting farther and farther on the road of growth. Looking back, we suddenly find that the things we once desperately pursued may be out of reach in an instant. Each of us is like the protagonist in the movie. We keep meeting, we keep missing, and we can't escape the tricks of fate, so we finally understand why we didn't finish what we wanted to do in the first place, and say what we wanted to say to the people we wanted to see. , Time is so ruthless, you left and missed the opportunity to express your feelings at that time, it is a lifetime of regret, but also a lack of regret into beauty, flowing in the memory of the time to cherish the love of that young love!

5 Centimeters per Second quotes

  • Akari ShinoharaTakaki Toono: *Akari and Takaki kiss for the first time*

    Takaki Toono: And right then it felt like I finally understood where everything was, eternity, the heart , the soul. It was like I was sharing every experience I'd ever had in my past 13 years. And then, the next moment, I became unbearably sad. I didn't know what to do with these feeling. Her warmth, her soul. How was I supposed to treat them? That, I did not know. Then right then, I clearly understood that we would never be together. Our lives not yet fully realized, the vast expanse of time. They lay before us and there was nothing we could do. But then, all my worries, all my doubt, started melting away. All that was left were Akari's soft lips on mine.

  • Takaki Toono: On that day... the day she called... Akari must've been so much more jittery and upset than me, yet I couldn't find the words to console her. I felt so ashamed of myself.
