"The Garden of Words and Leaves" is about two types of people who live in the trajectory of life and seek to break through the siege, one is the female protagonist who is rooted in his own limitations and is deeply trapped, and the other is the male protagonist, who has the courage to break through and has a certain strength, in the highly differentiated Japanese society, many people are embedded in the social machine all their lives, it seems that they are born with the result, even if it is not happy, they cannot choose.
Just like the heroine, do not see the rich and handsome ordinary citizen male protagonist, even if the mother does not do the world, the brother does not encourage or even some cold and violent treatment of his ideals, he is still strong, it seems that something can never compromise, very hard to live, in that court, the two intertwined, it seems to have Providence, even if there is a generation of years of the gap, but it is a pity for each other, and the male protagonist by the female protagonist to both sides open the window, this light will also cut through the cold winter of the two people.
Finally, let me tell you what I think.
1: I have to say that it is a wallpaper maniac, too beautiful and too real, to see amazing. Properly inserted piano pieces set off the atmosphere of each climax, which can be said to be quite remarkable.
2: Because the film time is too short, many of the details in the original work are often just a picture. For example, the scene where Takao Akizuki makes a bento for Yukino for the first time; Yukino goes from drinking beer every morning to indulging himself in coffee because of Akizuki's words, and then drinking beer again on a sunny day; and the matter of Akizuki's mother and brother, in fact, the reasons for Yukino's resignation are only summarized. Forty minutes of narrative length can encompass so many plots, and the priority is clear, which is already great. But I still recommend that you read the novel, the novel is particularly sweet, especially in the last rainy day when the two ran into the snow field home to cook and chat, to meet the wish to eat sugar.
3: I saw the Internet saying that the sound of coriander is too tender, but in fact I think it is very appropriate. In the original work, Yukino has been very popular with others since he was a child, because he looks good (it seems, I can't remember clearly), but in fact, he is also very lonely, like a child at heart, until he starts working, he often receives help from others, and the voice of coriander can be said to be very in line with people's design, with a hint of childishness but gentle like a big sister.
4: I think this ending is perfect, even if they are not together in the end, but with this time of mutual companionship, why should they care about the ending. At the end of the film, I can understand what the male protagonist said as "When I become stronger and have the ability to take care of myself and others, I will go to you".
In fact, I don't like others very much that every frame is always a wallpaper exaggeration, but ignore the story, I don't know if I am too open or how, and I don't understand where the taboo of others' so-called teacher-student taboo love is? Forty minutes, a short story of a beautiful and a little sad love story, unlike other animation works, all aspects of the beginning from the beginning, the beginning, the transition, the narrative...
"The Garden of Words and Leaves" is more like some kind of randomly written prose, maybe just a line of thought, just write on the paper at will, but it is all-encompassing, the Garden of Words and Leaves is the peak of makoto Shinkai's film, maybe this movie is not enough to seal the gods, but it can make the audience casually remember on a certain day, and the aftertaste may be enough.
