Even if I'm fine, I'm just a stand-in.

I don't know what Watanabe would think if he saw the image behind the library card in "Reminiscence of Time Like Water".
I don't know how the story will develop if the female Fujii tree knows about the communication between Oi and the male Fujii tree behind the bookshelf.
how are you?
I'm very good.
how are you?
I'm very good.
The classic lines of the film are actually quite rotten.
Because even if I'm good, I'm just a stand-in.
I can't remember how many times I read "Love Letter", but I still can't figure out why the male Fujiishu wrote the name of the female Fujiishu on the back of those book cards.
Names were written on books that never seemed to be borrowed to read. If it weren't for the "Finding Fujii Tree" campaign, maybe this movie wouldn't have been such a classic, even if it only described a love story about a double.
This story originated from a love letter with a simple content:
How are you? I'm very good. It can be summed up in this sentence.

I thought it would be sent to heaven, but unexpectedly I received a reply.
This leads to the origin of the story.
Two identical names, identical faces.
The female Fujii tree is undoubtedly the most obtuse center of love, because the boy with the same name and surname in the class has been troubled for three years. The boy tries to avoid talking to her. The work assigned to the librarian was not done well, which in turn contributed to the classic image of the reading boy behind the curtain that many people mourned. Even when they were parting, they smashed the vase that the classmates pranked on the male Fujii tree table, but they didn't realize that they had developed a different kind of affection for the other party. In his letter to Bozi, he wrote, "All there are are bad memories."
Hiroko is undoubtedly sensitive and retains love for the male Fujii tree. She was hurt by the fact that she was only a substitute for the female Fujii, and she couldn't suppress her continuous love for the male Fujii, and she even brooded over the phrase "I fell in love with you at first sight", I think even as a substitute, she She was slowly letting go, because because she was a stand-in, she could learn more about her fiance, the teacher her fiance had taught, the playground she had run in, the girl in underwear painted on the back of the exam paper, and, Concealed, "Looking for Fujii Tree".
The male Fujii tree, in fact, the description of him in the whole play is very simple in character, but he is not good at expressing his feelings. From silently loving the girl Fujii Shu, to sending "Reminiscence of the Years Like Water" foolishly, to running with a lame foot in front of the person you like, to stammering "condolences and changing", and seeing the first time When he arrived at Bozi, he began to approach, but when he was wearing a ring, he couldn't say anything to propose.
It's not a grand theme, but when you even unintentionally stuff the DVD into the optical drive, and the profile of Nakayama Miho appears in the snow, you will I can't help looking down, because of the purity, simplicity, and a little bit of resonance.
