Chapter 78 Love and Distance
Literary films can be subtle or passionate in terms of expression.
But "5 Centimeters Per Second" did not choose these methods. Instead, when everyone fell into a sweet atmosphere, an invisible giant net was opened in the sky, gradually surrounding everyone with a silent despair.
When the soft piano sounds, it should be a very warm atmosphere.
But from Akari's monologue, everyone felt a sense of sadness.
"Ah, the two of them moved so quickly?"
"This is also the norm in modern society. It is not uncommon for parents to let their children change schools due to various work reasons."
"Akari and Guishu...won't be separated like this, right?"
"Dear, don't worry. This kind of movie usually involves a bit of violence in the middle. Since the two of them still keep in touch through letters, they will definitely be together in the end."
Amidst the discussion between a couple, the plot slowly advances.
When they saw that Guishu chose to find Akari before transferring to another school, most people smiled.
Look, this is not coming.
It is impossible for Akari and Guishu to be separated.
Only some people noticed one detail.
Takaki also transferred to another school, and went to Kagoshima.
That is the southernmost place in Japan. If we go there, how can the two of them meet?
However, these people continue to pay attention to the next development of the plot.
The scene from Tokyo to Tochigi Iwafune can be said to have made everyone's hearts become entangled.
"Look, that's why I hate snowy days so much."
"Can we still meet? It's been delayed for two hours!"
The audience's mood was melancholy.
Especially when they saw Guishu sitting alone in the train, some viewers shed tears several times.
Film critics also have to admire Emiya's superb techniques and unique ideas.
This kind of long monologue is just right, and it easily resonates with the audience's emotions.
Of course, this is also inseparable from Takaki Tono's extremely outstanding performance.
That kind of expressiveness makes it seem as if the characters pass directly through the screen and enter the heart of every viewer.
"The combination of the genius director and the actors who are already fully involved in the play, coupled with the already superb composition skills, characters, environment, and background music, perfectly combines the three to show this clip vividly and vividly. It is simply wonderful!"
Although film critics spoke highly of the performance of this scene, they did not give it a particularly high score in terms of plot.
After ten minutes of watching it, it was nothing more than a drama about lovers finally getting married.
They have seen this kind of plot too many times. If it weren't for Emiya's novel techniques, the current "5 Centimeters Per Second" would not have been able to maintain an eight-point rating.
When the video is nearly twenty minutes old.
As most film critics expected.
Guishu finally met Akari.
The kiss under the withered cherry blossom tree and the snowflakes blooming like cherry blossoms made everyone present feel as if they had reached the rushing river of love in an instant.
"Now I can die with no regrets."
"It feels so fast. Usually movies end here, right?"
"This is only a third of it."
While the audience is thinking, so are the film critics.
For example, Akai, who was sent out to watch the movie by the Tokyo Art Youth, was frowning and thinking.
Akai, who was sent out to watch the movie by editor-in-chief Daito Takahashi, was still very happy.
This company with the name of literature and art finally did something related to literature and art.
But now there was a problem before him.
How to stand out among so many competitors?
Then we must start from the content of the movie.
In Akai's opinion, the pace of the movie "Five Centimeters per Second" is too fast. The length is only one-third of the movie, but it seems that everything that needs to be said has been said.
Childhood sweethearts have no choice but to separate, and lovers eventually get married.
For this kind of drama, if you change the supervisor, I'm afraid you can directly increase it to two hours.
"No, there should be something else in this... Well, let me think about it."
on the screen.
Akari bid farewell to Guishu at the station.
The farewell is painful, but most viewers believe that after tonight's experience, the two will definitely be together today.
At this time, Akari looked at the train heading into the distance, slowly took out a letter from her handbag, stared at it for a moment, and then looked at the distant sky with complicated emotions.
Akai stared at this scene intently.
He clearly remembered that Guishu also had a letter that he wanted to give to Akari, but it was accidentally blown away by the wind at the station.
This situation now means that neither of them can hand over each other's letters to each other.
"Two undeliverable letters, traveling at five centimeters per second..."
Akai kept mumbling incomprehensible words in his mind.
All kinds of mixed information were intertwined in his mind, making him a little confused.
Just as he was restlessly flipping through the notebook, he saw some notes he had written in front of him.
Those were some concluding words I explained to Hiroyuki Yonezu when I was writing the draft a few days ago.
"Five Centimeters Per Second" is a movie about 'love and distance'.
"Love and distance?"
Akai immediately seemed to have opened some joint in his mind, and quickly marked the word to the back, connecting it with the title's speed of five centimeters per second.
"By the way, isn't that right? I almost forgot that distance is the key to the whole story. This is what Director Emiya said himself."
Every time they change schools in the plot, the distance between the two becomes further and further away. Although they seem to be one step closer to each other at this moment, in fact they are further apart.
One is in Tochigi and the other is in Kagoshima.
How could the cherry blossom petals, which traveled at only five centimeters per second, keep up with the distance between the two of them?
It was like the two channels of Ren and Du were opened instantly.
Akai already had new feelings when watching "5 Centimeters per Second" again.
Everyone in the theater is puzzled by the plot of the second episode "Astronaut", but the audience who came here and were able to get tickets were more or less wealthy and well-established people.
Although he didn't curse loudly, he felt like he wanted to pull Emiya out and beat him up.
"What kind of plot is this? Where is Akari?! In the second episode, apart from the fact that Akari appeared without even showing her face at the beginning, now an inexplicable female number two has been appointed. What on earth is this supervisor doing!"
The young man in the couple at the beginning did not dare to say anything more at this time.
He really couldn't understand the current operation of the video.
If the filming can't go on and the plot can't be figured out, then just give it a try. Why cast a second female lead?
Doesn't this bother you?
"Hey, don't you think Hua Miao is so pitiful? She obviously likes Guishu so much, and she deliberately creates chance encounters every day after school. It's almost written on her face, but Guishu doesn't seem to have any intention of responding."
The young man looked at his girlfriend who seemed to have tears in her eyes, with a big question mark on his head.
WTK?!
Weren't you still complaining with me just now? Why has it changed now?
Chapter completed!
