Comment on the film Your Name

Your Name is an original Japanese animated film directed by Makoto Shinkai with Shenmu Ryunosuke and Mone Kamishiraishi as the main voices. The work tells the story of male and female high school students meeting in their dreams and looking for each other. The following is my comment on this film. Welcome to read!

Part One: Comments on Your Name Director Makoto Shinkai became popular because of Beyond the Clouds and The Agreed Place, and established a unique image in the audience's mind with the speed of five centimeters per second. This time, "Your Name" is a new film re-created by "The Court of Words and Leaves" three years later. The film tells the story of a female high school student who lives in a deep mountain in Tian She. She dreams that one day a man will live in Tokyo, and a male high school student who lives in Tokyo, Tachibana Taki, dreams of a woman who has never been to a deep mountain. When two people who have never met before meet, the wonderful story of a girl and teenager begins.

The film was directed by Tanaka Masayoshi of We Still Don't Know the Name of the Flowers We Saw that Day, and written by the official history of Ando who once wrote Spirited Away and Princess Ghost. The film can gather three Japanese animators with the highest peak. On the newly exposed poster, two people standing on the left and right seem to have found each other's existence, giving people an indescribable sense of distance.

Shenmu Ryunosuke, who voiced the dragon, is a fan. "After seeing the stills of the dragon in the film, I am looking forward to finishing this work purely. Dragon is an ordinary high school student in city life, but it is not easy to show this' ordinary'. If the lines said in a sentence are not well thought out, it is difficult to become this role. " The voice also said, "The first time I saw Long He's face, her expression was particularly rich, which made me want to interpret her earlier. I absolutely like the characters in Your Name, and I will like them even more in the future. It is also a great honor to contribute to this work. "

Your Name is about modern drama, so the voice actor needs to be surrounded by young people. Director Makoto Shinkai was full of praise for their voices: "I want the excellent temperament revealed in the ordinary, with a youthful and fresh voice. I think both are natural. "

Chapter II: Comment on Your Name No matter how many times I read Makoto Shinkai's works, I will never get bored. Not only can every frame be used as a desktop, but what is more attractive should be thought-provoking content.

In my opinion, the most interesting thing about this work is the dialogue "I seem to have seen you somewhere" at the end. Ah! Why are you so familiar with dialogue? Isn't it the most common trick for us to strike up a conversation in an old-fashioned way? Yes! That's right! It's so old-fashioned, there's no routine.

But what should touch me most is this sentence. The protagonist of this novel changed his body because of his special physique, and fell in love with each other in staggered time and space, but he forgot his name because his memory would be blurred after waking up.

If we go back to reality, I can understand that we knew each other in our last life and even liked each other, but for some reason we couldn't work together for life. As for this life, we have forgotten each other's names. Can you understand it this way?

If you can understand it this way, wouldn't it be wonderful to say "I seem to have seen you somewhere" in reality? We are all looking for someone, and this person may be the person you have a lifelong relationship with. In this life, I really only owe one meeting, and bravely say that I have seen you.

I won't solve the relationship between the so-called world line A and B here, because I think the wonderful topic should be one that can echo the reality.

Although Makoto Shinkai's whole work Your Name is very warm to me, I think if you persist for a while, you will feel hopeful. It is completely different from "5 cm per second", and there is no deep sense of helplessness and tingling like "5 cm per second". On the contrary, it is a bit like a "court of words." There is always a little helplessness in life, but as long as you meet someone you can talk to, why not try to love once?

Finally, I think I also want the headrope of the woman. It's not bad to tie it to your hands like a man.

In fact, Makoto Shinkai has never been my favorite animation director. His animation is always full of colorful pictures, giving people a very dreamy and unreal feeling, beautiful and sad, inexplicable sadness. However, the beauty of the picture is one of Makoto Shinkai's important advantages, but correspondingly, its weakness in the story script has also been criticized.

For some fans, including myself, the story of a movie is far more important than the beauty of its picture or all other artistic skills. However, several animated films directed by Makoto Shinkai all have the same problem, paying too much attention to the texture of the picture and ignoring the story of the film. For example, the cherry blossoms falling with the wind in "5 cm per second" and the delicate and real rain in "The Court of Talking Leaves". Beauty is beauty, but stories are always unacceptable.

However, this problem has been changed by his latest work Your Name. This film not only has Makoto Shinkai's iconic aesthetic picture, but also has a qualitative breakthrough in the story script. The perfect combination of pictures and stories has made this film. In the end, the film earned more than 700 million yen at the box office in two days, and was called his highest masterpiece by Makoto Shinkai.

According to Makoto Shinkai's own introduction, the story of the film comes from a famous Japanese peace song, and the lyrics are as follows: "If you meet someone in your dream, you don't see it. If you know this is a dream, you don't have to wake up. Even if you often meet in your dreams, it is better than meeting once. " Makoto Shinkai further adapted the story of meeting in a dream into the story of two people exchanging physical life in a dream, and added the "doomsday background" of a once-in-a-lifetime comet, making the whole story interesting and attractive.

The heroine Sanye is a rural girl who lives in a mountainous area. Her mother died young, her father was busy campaigning, and she lived with her grandmother and sister. Life in a small town is boring. Sanye has long been tired of everything here and hopes to live in Tokyo, a big city. The hero Long is a high school student in Tokyo. He lives with his father and often goes to restaurants to work, which is also a dull and boring life.

Everything changed from their dreams.

The dream entered the dragon's body and lived her dream life in Tokyo. In the dream, the dragon entered the body and became a beautiful girl, bravely facing all the gossip. In this way, they exchanged bodies irregularly in their dreams, left diaries for each other and communicated with each other in words.

This part of the movie is very interesting, but the same body is two different personalities. Become introverted, timid, brave and handsome, and dragons also become neurotic and gentle, which has a very interesting impact on their respective lives and even confuses their friends.

In the films before Makoto Shinkai, the hero and heroine were always immersed in their own world, thinking and living alone. In this "Your Name", the hero and heroine finally come into life like all normal people, and they are also endowed with social networks such as friends, family and colleagues, which makes it more extensive and popular, and is no longer a display of narcissistic personal emotions.

Teenagers and girls constantly shuttle between time and space, communicate with each other and influence each other, but never meet.

This setting is attractive enough, but it is even more surprising that Makoto Shinkai has joined the "doomsday mood" of comets. Although in the first half of the movie, the arrival of the comet is always shown as a beautiful natural phenomenon, it was not until the end that the fact that the comet was about to destroy the town was suddenly realized, which made the whole movie more exciting and exciting.

As the comet approaches and the story continues to develop, the teenager suddenly realizes that after a certain period of time, there seems to be no similar dream. He began to doubt everything, whether the story in this dream is a dream or a fact, and whether the girl in the dream exists or not. To this end, he embarked on the road to find a dream town.

However, the fact he found surprised not only him, but also the audience. It turns out that the story in the dream is not only time travel, but also time travel. The girl was a girl three years ago, and the young dragon is now a teenager. The ultimate meaning of their common dream is to try to save the residents of the whole town.

At the end of the story, they went through hardships and finally saved the town. The young girl San Ye finally escaped this disaster and came to live in Tokyo. The young dragon has always lived in Tokyo. But they forget the story in the dream, the name they can't forget and don't want to forget, and only vaguely remember the person they have been looking for.

If Makoto Shinkai's previous tonality is adopted, perhaps the story will end here, leaving a faint and sad ending. What's more, the hero and heroine can't get to know each other in the crowd. However, in this movie, Makoto Shinkai gave a happy ending, which was even more tearful and touching.

When winter goes and spring comes, the occasional glimpse on the subway and the amazing feeling of deja vu make them look for each other. But after meeting, I didn't have the courage to speak, but resisted the impulse and walked silently, teaching all the audience to worry about them.

Until young Hajime Taki lowered his head, gritted his teeth and shouted, Excuse me, have I seen you somewhere? The girl burst into tears and said with a smile, me too.

Moved to the extreme at this moment, this pure and beautiful love is enviable and really irresistible. All encounters in the world are reunions after a long separation. Even if we haven't really met, it may be in a dream. After all, dreams will disappear after waking up.

Enjoy the dream, or cherish everyone you meet, or tell me your name.
