"Faint thunder, hazy sky, but I hope that the wind and rain will come, and I can leave you here."
When the rain of Meiri dripped like silk on the turquoise lake, the harsh friction of the light rail and the birdsong of the park played like a symphony, the swaying carriages, the chrysanthemums next to the railroad tracks, the protagonist slowly narrated the magic words, and the soft music slowly spread out, I knew that I liked this movie.
The Japanese have a tradition of taking sadness as beauty, but this sullen cultural tradition of beauty is not happily ending-oriented, and its emphasis is not on the result, but on the beauty of the process, just like the beauty of falling cherry blossoms, even if it is only for a short moment.
Makoto Shinkai's two works, Second 5 and Yanye, also contain this cultural phenomenon, but the results are very different. If the kind of love in "Second 5" is not as negative as the love that is forgotten in the jianghu, "Yanye" is a complete positive energy inspirational film.
In the film, 15-year-old high school student Takao Akizuki, who lost his financial resources because his mother ran away from home, made shoes on the basis of his studies, and the 27-year-old Yukino Baixiang, who suffered a workplace failure, looked at the rainy scenery and drank beer alone, in this rainy season, the two people accidentally met and met in a rainy pavilion outside the bustling city, and in such a paradise to develop the plot, they seemed to reach some kind of tacit understanding, always waiting for each other on a rainy day, and the hearts of the two people who were frustrated in life gradually began to get closer, and the true hearts under the torrential rain were relative. The two begin to understand each other, look forward to each other, and Akizuki, who intends to become a shoemaker, plans to make a pair of shoes for Yukino, but the sky is clear, and the encounter is indefinite and indefinite...
From the rainy season to the snow, from the budding of feelings, to the precipitation, it is very in line with my understanding of the process of emotional cultivation. "Seconds 5" is very quiet, giving people a deep despair and powerlessness, but "Words and Leaves" is in the crowd and can make people involuntarily look up at the sky, although the plot has no major ups and downs, but it still conveys an upward force.
Perhaps in this world, only love can cross the age. I remembered such a passage: "There is no homosexuality, heterosexuality, teacher-student love, sister-brother love, etc. in this world, and some people just happen to love each other, it is as simple as that." ”
The end of "Yan Ye" is expressed in the bright hue of the rainbow after the rain: as long as it is true love, age, identity, distance, it will not be a problem, don't make excuses for your own encouragement. Just Do It。 It's really inspiring.
If there is any controversy in the plot, I think it can be said that there is a "real fragrance" for the music and the picture.
Makoto Shinkai has taken his aesthetic principles to the extreme. A street corner, a billboard, an umbrella, a bottle of tea, a broken cardboard box, a tram timetable, a gap in the wall, a little stain, lightning clouds, the surface of the water with branches and leaves... Every detail is precisely and perfectly presented with two words: Japan. This is called "having the texture of the character living in it".
Qin Jibo's 'Rain', inserted just right, pushes the plot to a climax, which is perfectly matched.
