He does not act as a domineering president, but as a The hard-working animation director is actually the conscience of the industry.

He was still handsome at the age of 20~

2. Thoughts on watching the movie

Makoto Shinkai’s animation is so real that every scene is happening around us . He is talking about our adolescence, using various pictures that can be used as wallpapers, lines that are pretentious and artistic to death, and melancholy and gentle music to explain our inner loneliness.

One of the most difficult things for adolescent boys and girls is,

"Does the person I like like me or not?"

Warmth and purity , delicate first love, but it contains the bitterness that cannot be desired.

He had read "Norwegian Wood" and understood the loneliness of the characters, so even his own animation was influenced by Haruki Murakami.

As for some people comparing him to Guo Jingming, well, at least he is the second generation of rich people~

I want to tell the second story about the supporting actress.

The name of this story is "The Astronaut".

Guishu said that this is really an unimaginably lonely journey. Walking alone in real darkness, it is difficult to encounter even a hydrogen atom.

But I don’t know where I am going and where I will end up.

And Guishu's loneliness is like that of an astronaut.

Some people say that the name "Astronaut" means that the distance between Guishu and Akari is like the distance between astronauts and the earth.

But this is not the distance between Guishu and Hua Miao. The scene of them watching the rocket take off together is beautiful, but also poignant.

The image of Hua Miao may be the one closest to our life experience among all the characters, making us feel very real.

There are all kinds of emotional fluctuations when meeting the person you like, always hiding in the dark to create situations where you meet Guishu unexpectedly, and worrying about her uncertain future... It's very ordinary, Found everywhere.

Such an idea occurs in every adolescent girl.

I want to see more,

I like it more and more.

When Guishu asked her what she would do in the future,

she said,

"I don't even know what will happen tomorrow."

She admired Guishu, and when she discovered that he had the same confusion as her when facing life, she couldn't help but feel happy,

Ah, it turns out that he is the same as me.

But at the end of the story, I found out that these little feelings had no meaning at all.

A long time ago, when Hua Miao didn’t know,

When everyone thought they were boyfriend and girlfriend,

He denied it himself,

She is not my girlfriend.

I knew from the beginning that Guishu would go to a very far place, a place she could not reach.

But, I understand better,

Guishu has never looked at her,

can never respond to her expectations.

I remember a scene,

Guishu’s eyes in the second story have always been deep and sad, as deep as the sea,

And when Guishu It was so familiar to hear Hua Miao say that the speed of the transmitter was five kilometers per second and five centimeters per second.

The only time he showed an expression of shock in front of Hua Miao was because he was thinking of another person.

I can’t help but feel sorry for Hua Miao,

But even so, she still likes him so much,

She likes him more and more.

I want them to be together,

But I don’t want them to be together.

This contradictory idea runs through this story.

2. Thoughts on watching the movie

< p> I won’t judge too much about "Garden of Words"~

It’s just that the male protagonist’s enthusiasm for shoemaking moved me.

Work hard for the people you like,

If you want to gain her approval,

give her a smile,

? After searching for a long time, you can’t get it,

This kind of feeling has probably been experienced by many people.

Well~ I have to say, the graphics of "The Garden of Words" are so amazing, you can just take a cut of it and turn it into a wallpaper~~

2. Viewing Thoughts on the film

Some people say that in Makoto Shinkai’s animations, there is no fantasy world of Hayao Miyazaki, no philosophies such as "finding yourself" and "pursuing peace", and no Kon Satoshi, Oshii Mamoru or even Anno. Hideaki is good at describing the evil of human nature, but the pattern is too small, so "Your Name" came out, and it saved the lives of an entire village.

Although it is still above youth love.

Well, because it is an advanced version, the picture quality is a bit bad. Let’s go to the cinema and contribute money to watch it in high definition~

Indeed, many times, when I wake up in the morning, the dream I just had is very I almost forgot about it. Even if I remembered it clearly just now, I can’t remember it no matter how much I think about it afterwards.

For me, this ending is my favorite. At the end of the story, they met in the rain. Even though they felt like they had seen each other before, they still passed by each other.

It’s hard to avoid feeling sad, it won’t have the same ending as “5 Centimeters Per Second”.

Fortunately, they finally met.

Xin Haicheng must have been cured recently, hahaha.

By the way, the picture on the cover below has been changed a bit horribly recently, hahaha~

Finally, let me end with a line~
