A 15-year-old high school student, Qiuyue Takao, his mother ran away from home, and he and his brother depended on each other. In addition to his studies, he would often go out to work to earn money for a living. He has a habit of skipping classes in the morning on rainy days. Rainy days are an opportunity and the possibility for the story to continue. On the day of entering the plum, he came to the garden alone, and saw Baixiang Yukino who was sitting in the pavilion drinking wine to relieve his sorrow. The green garden is quiet and secluded, far from the world. The two people who have had a hard time in their own lives will meet here, and there will be a spark of love. During the rainy season, the two often meet here, chatting with little words, and the affection between their eyes makes each other's hearts slowly get closer. Qiuyue said in a monologue: I know almost nothing about her, occupation, age, any troubles, and even her name. Despite this, I am deeply attracted to her and cannot resist. Sometimes love is so pure, unscrupulous, and unbridled. In the days that followed, the rainy season came to an abrupt end, and the sunny days continued, making people feel sad. Qiuyue said: The days without rain continued day by day, and until the summer vacation came, I still couldn't find an excuse to go there. And Xueye also said sadly: These days, the sky is clear every day, so that's fine, then the child can't find an excuse to skip class, pretending to be relieved, in fact, I don't want the rainy season to end at all. Sunny days are torture for both of them, they miss each other, their lives are empty and lonely, but they cannot see each other because of their inner fetters. After a long time, the two finally met again in the pavilion. The end of the revealing of their hearts was matched by a heavy rain, which pushed the intense interweaving of emotions to a climax. In the apartment, Yukino ironed clothes for Akita, and the two cooked together and tasted delicious food, filled with happiness and sweetness, full of the warmth of home. At this time, Akita bravely confessed: Miss Yukino, I think, I like you. And Xueye, of course, was looking forward to this sentence, but she did not have the courage to accept his heavy love. Her polite refusal was because she had been slandered and hooked up with students before, and the rumors continued, making it difficult for her to stay in the school, which became a knot in her heart. When Akita called her Miss Yukino, she felt uneasy and asked him to call her Yukino-sensei, which was a concrete manifestation of the knot that troubled her. Akita left sadly, and Yukino sat there, heartbroken. She suddenly realized that she should not give up this love, she had to work hard to get it back, so she rushed out without hesitation. After opening her heart to Akita, the two embraced tightly. At this time, the long-lost sunlight penetrated the cloudy sky. The golden light shone on them, so warm and touching. Yukino finally achieved his inner leap, broke through the strong bondage, and bravely pursued the love that should belong to him.
The details of the film are also worth discussing. Here I will say two or three points. The first was the details of beating eggs. The first time was a failure, and the egg white was spilled out of the cup. This was a manifestation of her inner panic and the materialization of her incomprehension of life; the second time was very smooth, and she was familiar with it. This kind of change, Yukino rekindled hope for life. The second is the details of the short song and the answer song, which are the main points throughout the film and are important plots that cannot be ignored. The short song is: faint thunder, cloudy sky, but hope the wind and rain come, can keep you here. The answer song is: faint thunder, cloudy sky, even if the sky is silent, I will stay here. The short song is the emotional question, and the answer song is the emotional answer. The years passed during this period are the brewing and testing stage of the emotion, and it is the cognition of each other's love. Love at first sight is often unreliable, and the accumulated affection is truly worth having . Then there is the picture, which has to be mentioned. The picture of the film continues the style of Makoto Shinkai in the past. It is beautiful and can't be added. It plays a very key role in the rendering of emotions.
Finally, let's talk about the ending of the movie. When the winter snow covered the old garden, Qiuyue came to the pavilion full of unforgettable memories alone, read the long letter written to him by Yukino who was in the distance, and took out the made of her own from her bag. Nice shoe, lightly placed on the side. I thought that if one day I could walk more steadily and farther, I would go see her. This is undoubtedly the most graceful ending, the day when the promise is fulfilled, when the love is finally fulfilled.
