Uzuki was standing alone in the carriage, with only the faces of relatives and friends in the camera. The platform was very lonely, and the carriages were empty. As the car drove away, the faces of her parents gradually faded away. Uzuki raised a hand on the glass to bid farewell to the city.
Uzuki walked through the crowd to look for the new senior and senior sister, but only found a lonely sign that said "Mutono University" where she was going to report.
Uzuki moved into an apartment where she lived alone. Her neighbor was also a single woman, and her whole body was full of vigilance and vigilance. Uzuki seems to have only one neighbor like this.
Uzuki rode her bicycle through vast green fields that were deserted.
Uzuki eats alone and watches movies. There are few people in the cinema, and the black-and-white film tells the story of the Tokugawa shogunate era, which is boring and lengthy.
Uzuki went to the bookstore again and again to find out when the person she liked would work in the store. The books on the wall, the books on the table, and the originally rare customers are just vague shadows.
When Uzuki saw Yamazaki in the bookstore for the second time, he finally recognized that she was a junior student who was one year lower than him. Because she was in a foreign land, she was extraordinarily friendly. It's just that he didn't know that he was the object of Uzuki's crush in high school. In order to be able to go to the same university as him, Uzuki miraculously got his wish. He didn't know that Uzuki kept coming to the bookstore to buy books just to see him.
It was raining heavily when Uzuki left. She went back and forth, borrowing an umbrella from Yamazaki. Yamazaki brought a few umbrellas dropped by customers for her to pick, and she insisted on the red one. Uzuki is running in the rain with the broken red umbrella. This is the only bright color from the beginning to the end of the movie, a very standard vermilion. Only at this time does Uzuki really come alive. The movie is coming to an end, and the story seems to have just begun.
The rain was so heavy, the sky and the earth were gray, and there was no one on the road. The rain wet her hair, her clothes, her bicycle was still soaked in the water, the red umbrella reflected Uzuki's brilliant smile.
When the heart is clear, the rain is also clear.
It is also a crush plot of adolescence. Compared with "Flower and Alice", I prefer "April Story".
The girl in the secret love is very careful, but even if her heart turns a thousand times, she can't say it, and she is afraid that the little secret in her heart will be known, so she will deliberately alienate her friends and be alone. The world around her is not in her eyes, except for that person, it is a vague shadow. No matter how many jokes others tell, it is not as happy as his unintentional eyes. He didn't know she was there. She was lonely alone, thinking secretly in her heart, when can I cook for him, go to the movies with him, and don't have to ride a bicycle through the uninhabited fields by myself anymore, because of this idea, she is even more lonely. Lonely makes people sigh.
The only thing I don't like is the "miracle of love" at the end. All the previously lonely little sadness and the little joy that the hero and heroine met when they met are without beauty because of this sentence. For no particular reason, I can only say that I don't believe in the so-called miracles of love.
