<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" ></h1>
Synopsis: After the death of her mother, the "Yuandu" girl who originally lived in a paradise regarded by a large number of foreign immigrants as a gold rush was sent to the prostitute Guliguo (Zhuo Na), and after temporarily taking the girl in, Guliguo named her Phoenix Butterfly (Itobu) based on the butterfly tattooed on her chest. Soon, under the leadership of Gu Liguo, Feng Di met "Yuan Thieves" from different countries such as Huo Feihong and Wolf Lang in the waste resettlement area and auto repair station named "Qingkong", and gradually became friends with them. A tape containing the American song "My Way" and hiding magnetic induction information for counterfeit banknotes made everyone rich overnight, and after getting rich, they also began to take different paths, among which GuLiguo, who had excellent singing talent, was signed by the record company and forced by the company to break off relations with everyone. The owner of the tape, the underworld boss Liu Liangkui (Yosuke Eguchi), learned of the tape's downfall and began to send his men to hunt down and kill Huo Feihong, Gu Liguo and others, and the fate of the people began to contain each other. (From Douban)
Swallowtail Butterfly is the first movie I watched Shunji Iwai, the first thing that attracted me was the title, it was the same name as Liang Jingru's "Swallowtail Butterfly", once thought it was the soundtrack of the movie, and later found that the cover "My way" in the movie was even more amazing! "Heaven exists, when people die, the soul flies to the sky, and the moment it touches the clouds, it will turn into raindrops and fall", people are all swallowtail butterflies, all have the process of butterfly transformation, although they will experience pain, but the result is beautiful!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > second, love letters</h1>
Synopsis: On a snowy winter day in Kobe, Japan, Hiroko Watanabe (Miho Nakayama) is once again so sad that she can't help herself on the second anniversary of her ex-fiancé Fujii Tree. Unable to suppress her longing for her deceased lover, Hiroko Watanabe found out in the middle school classmates' directory that "Fujii Tree" had addressed when she was studying in Otaru City, and sent a love letter that she thought was sent to heaven. Not long after Watanabe Hiroko received a reply signed "Fujii Shu (Miho Nakayama)", she learned that fujii tree was a girl of her age and a classmate of her boyfriend Fujii (Takashi Kashiwara) when he was a teenager. In order to learn more about her former lovers in middle school, Hiroko Watanabe began to exchange letters with the female Fujii Tree. In her constant memories, Fujii tree gradually discovered that the Fujii tree with the same surname as her when she was a teenager had hidden a tender feeling for herself. (From Douban)
At that time, when watching this "Love Letter", I still had such a clever opinion. Two beautiful women with a very similar appearance, one who loves deeply and cannot get it, one who is loved but does not know, if it were not for death, they may never know that this unresponsive love will be so beautiful and sad. "If I had been brave, wouldn't the ending have been different. If you insisted at the time, the memory would not be ordinary, in the end I still did not say, you still ignored "the soundtrack of the movie is also very good, with piano, violin, cello, synthetic instruments, guitar as the mainstay, especially recommended for everyone to listen."
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" >3. Everything about Lily Week</h1>
Synopsis: Yuichi Rinami (Hayato Ichihara) lives in a secluded town with his mother, stepfather, and younger brother. He is in the Kendo Department with his classmate Shusuke Hoshino (Shugo Shinobu), and the two become good friends. Hoshino was originally a student with excellent character and learning, but he was jealous of his classmates. When a group of classmates returned from Okinawa during the summer vacation, Hoshino changed into a different person. Then Hoshino began to take pleasure in bullying his classmates, and the methods were cruel, and Yuichi was not spared. Yuichi has a reclusive personality and likes the singer Lily Zhou, and at the Lily Zhou forum he established, he met a person named "Green Cat". Yuichi and Blue Cat both live an easy life, the two encourage each other and agree to meet at Lily Week's concert, and the appearance of "Green Cat" surprises Yuichi. (From Douban)
Shunji Iwai set up a lily-ChouChou website for the film. The film is about four teenagers and reflects the restless mood among young people. Good and bad may be instantaneous, or change may begin before it appears.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" >4</h1>
Synopsis: Coco (Zona) strangles her twin sister and is sent to a mental hospital by her parents, and in this "special" place, she meets Curly Hair (Tadanobu Asano) and Kogo (Koichi Hashimoto), who dresses as an angel in a black crow hair, and the three become friends. Curly Hair is sent here after killing his perverted teacher who has repeatedly violated him by mistake, and nightmares have been accompanied ever since, and Xiao Wu is a delusional maniac who is detached from reality. One day Coco and Curly hair walked along the walls of the hospital to the outside world, and the hymn in the church made them stop, and after getting a Bible from a kind priest, Curly Hair decided that the end of the world was coming, and Coco felt that the moment of her death represented the real end of the world. After that, the three climbed the walls of the hospital again and waited for the end of the world to come. (From Douban)
It's a movie about crossing a wall, where there are hooligans inside the wall and unknowns outside the wall. Some people do not transcend order, nor do they maintain order, they can only survive on the edges of order. In fact, what matters is not how the world is, but how the world is felt. Youth is not all beautiful, there are cruelties and hurts!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="23" >5, fireworks</h1>
Synopsis: Elementary school students Norimichi (Yuta Yamazaki) and Takayuki Takayuki (Takayuki Takayuki Takashi) and other companions argue about whether the fireworks are flat or round when they rise, but after no results, everyone is confused, and in order to solve the confusion, they decide to take the opportunity of the summer fireworks festival to go to the lighthouse where the fireworks are set off. Norimichi and Yuga's crush at the same time, the precocious teenage girl Naisa (Okusai) has a heartache because of her parents' divorce. After a 50-meter swimming competition between Nobudo and Yumitsu, Naisha asks the winner Yuba to accompany her to the fireworks, not wanting the other party to finally decide to go to the lighthouse with everyone. Naisha eventually pulled onto the road to the losing race, but the destination became a train station or even further afield in Tokyo. (From Douban)
The film "Fireworks" is the debut of Shunji Iwai, and it is somewhat different from the later film style. The story unfolds from the perspective of three elementary school students, starting with the seemingly pediatric question of whether the fireworks are round or flat, and the ignorance of love has actually begun, and the problem of fireworks is no longer important. ‘
PS. Because this film is an early work, there is currently no genuine online viewing channel, and there is no soundtrack.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="27" > The Story of June and April</h1>
Synopsis: 17-year-old girl Yuno Yukizuki (Takako Matsu) travels from Hokkaido to Study at Musashino University in Tokyo alone. She needs to face the new city, the new life, the new environment alone, she is very shy when she arrives at school, and her classmates discuss why she came to Musashino to study, in fact, an important reason for her coming here is because she has always had a crush on a boy named Yamazaki. After coming here, she found that he used to be a part-time sales clerk in a bookstore, and Yuno Betsuki began to frequent this bookstore, and gradually began to talk... (From Douban)
"April Story" is very much like an essay, without a clear theme, but it is very close to the breath of life. The story tells how freshmen who have just arrived in big cities deal with their lives and feelings, especially how lucky it is to meet the right person!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="31" >7, Flowers and Alice</h1>
Synopsis: The young girl Hana (Suzuki Apricot) and Alice (Aoi Yu) who grew up together are a pair of close friends, but the two have very different personalities, Alice is lively and active, chasing when she sees love, and Hana is shy by nature and does not dare to talk to the boy she likes. While accompanying Alice to the college boy who fell in love at first sight every day, Hana also secretly falls in love with Miyamoto, who often accompanies the boy. Both Hana and Alice entered the high school where Miyamoto studied, and Hana managed to become a member of Miyamoto's cross-talk club. An accident caused Miyamoto to suffer from a temporary "memory loss", and Hana took the opportunity to make up that he was the object of Miyamoto's love, and the two talked about pseudo-love. Seeing that the lies are spreading more and more and getting closer to the end, Hua is in a hurry to pull Alice in, not wanting her to become a "light bulb" herself. (From Douban)
This film is also different from the traditional narrative structure of the film, it is in the ordinary life plot, constantly accumulating emotions, so as to achieve the final bloom. I was deeply impressed by the way Flower seriously talked about crosstalk and the way Alice performed ballet. Friendship and love are equally precious!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="35" >8, Flower and Alice Murders</h1>
Synopsis: Tetsuko Sukawa (voiced by Yu Aoi), a girl who attends junior high school, transfers to Ishinomori Gakuen due to her parents' divorce. To her dismay, her classmates all looked at her with strange eyes, and even looked away from her. From her classmate Mumi, she learns that the former owner of the table where Tetsuko is now sitting was once involved in what was called "the murder of Judas and his four wives." There is also a table behind that table, whose owner, Hana Arai (voiced by Apricot Suzuki), has been absent from class for a long time, and Hana is also Tetsuko's current neighbor. In order to find out the truth of the murder, Cheko, who named herself "Alice", had the courage to enter The Flower's house and learned about "Judas". Taking this as an opportunity, these two girls with somewhat eccentric but dexterous and cute personalities began their great friendship... (From Douban)
"Flowers and Alice Killings" is an animated version of "Flowers and Alice", which is also the growth story of two young girls. Saying that it is a "killing incident" is actually not related to the killing of people for half a cent, in fact, it mainly reflects that girls in their student days will always escalate some seemingly simple problems, perhaps this is the charm of ignorant youth!
