I think of what Makoto Shinkai said in an interview, "The reason why I can create such a touching love story is because I never fell in love when I was a child." Later, a friend of mine told me something Famous quote: "Don't listen to Shinkai Makoto's nonsense. The plot is so touching. He must have been in love before." However, I have never been in love so far.

Since "Your Name" became a hit and Makoto Shinkai became a god, various discussions about "Your Name" have been endlessly debated. It has been more than two years now. Although it is not as popular as it was back then, as long as I can say a few words about it, and after such a long period of training, I have seen through everything in "Your Name" and all kinds of Shinkai Makoto. Let me briefly summarize my so-called experience. Bar.

First of all, "Your Name" is very good at rendering emotions. To put it simply, it is sensational. However, the shortcoming is also sensational. It patronizes sensationalism, but ignores how to sensationalize and why to be emotional. This way, if you just want to watch the sensational way, I recommend watching "The Name of a Flower", this classic can be said to be the pinnacle, but in terms of the expression of emotional details, "Your Name" is unqualified. At the beginning of the screening, many people criticized the emotion for being too forceful. This is the point. You may not feel it the first time you watch it, but you will find out after the second time that they have no direct contact or any emotional communication. The two of them suddenly looked like they were calling. However, they were genuine people who had never met each other before.

Of course, this is harmless. After all, expressing emotional details is the most difficult, and the only animation company in Japan that can stably and perfectly express the emotions of characters through 2D images is "Kyoto Animation" If you can achieve this level, love movies are easy to make, but love movies are sometimes the most difficult to make, because these things that are close to daily life, if you want to resonate with people, it is often the details that determine success or failure. , rather than constantly tearing up and sensationalizing. If you continue to create like this, you will get tired of it. This is actually the case. Although the reputation of your name was explosive at first, it then declined. And I personally also think that Makoto Shinkai and Miyazaki There is still a big gap between Jun's and Xin Haicheng's, and there is even a hint that Xin Haicheng is regressing.

The most unforgettable thing about Makoto Shinkai is that his pictures are particularly beautiful. Shinkai has continued this style since he first started doing personal animation. The most typical one is "Voice of the Star". His works are traditional and single, expressing a certain degree of "uncommunicable love". What he likes most is the aesthetic images closely related to love. I don't know if Shinkai Makoto likes this or not, but Relying on these, he has found his own position, and the things he creates often have a shocking effect just by looking at them. The above are all personal opinions.
