Some people commented on "Hearing the Waves" - "Let those who do not have first love feel the taste of first love." If you are on a busy and busy day and suddenly want to find the feeling of youthful sprouting, then "Hearing the Waves" is probably one of the best recommended works in the ranking.
"Hearing the Waves" is the work of the famous Studio Ghibli, but it is not supervised by the director of Hayao Miyazaki, but an accidental masterpiece that completely let go of the new generation. The film is based on the novel of the same name by the teenage novelist Saeko Hiimuro, directed by Mochizuki Chisung, who is good at pure love-themed animation. The role of painting supervisor and character setting is Kondo Katsuya. The painting style is typical of Hayao Miyazaki's painting style, which is delicate and expressive, rich and lively.
The male protagonist Du Qi Tuo and the male No. 2 Matsuno Feng are close friends from junior high school to high school. In the midsummer of the second year of high school, a transfer student came to the school, namely Rikako Muto, the heroine of the film. Matsuno Feng can be said to fall in love with Rikako at first sight. As a beautiful woman from the metropolis Tokyo, Rikako is excellent in appearance, study and sports. She is very conspicuous in this small place of Kochi, attracting the attention of many boys, and it also causes girls to criticize her a lot, while Rikako is very conspicuous in this small place of Kochi. The arrogant and conceited character and the temper of the eldest miss doomed her to not have a harmonious relationship with her classmates.
Although Toyo Matsuno cares for Rigazi everywhere, but Rigazi doesn't seem to be interested in Matsuno, not only not only for Matsuno, but also for the whole Kochi, and her mind is to return to the big Urban Tokyo, back to her colorful urban life.
During a group study trip in Hawaii, Rigazi lied that she had lost her money and borrowed money from Du Qituo, who she did not know well. When the money got it, she turned around and left, and then complained that Du Qituo had leaked the money she had borrowed.
Shortly after returning from Hawaii, Rigazi tricked her female classmate, Ohama, to go to Tokyo with her. Du Qituo rushed to the airport and was kidnapped by Rigazi to go to Tokyo with her.
Rigazi, who returned to Tokyo, was unhappy when he hit a nail at his father's house. He went back to the hotel where Du Qi Taku lived and cried and fell asleep after drinking. Du Qi Tuo had to sleep in the bathtub all night. The next day, Jiazi was boring with her ex-boyfriend again, and used Du Qituo to diss her ex-boyfriend. Du Qituo went away angrily, thinking that Li Jiazi was superficial and vain and bored. Before Li Gazi left the hotel, he seemed to have realized his mistake.
After returning to school, after a while, it was rumored that Tu Qi Tuo and Rigazi went to Tokyo together and slept in a hotel, but Tu Qi Tuo did not know about it. Rigazi rejected Matsuno's confession, and responded with sarcasm and complaints. When Du Qituo learned that his friend was treated like this, he found Li Jiazi, and the two quarreled and slapped each other.
During the school festival of the school celebration, Rigazi was besieged by female classmates. Du Qituo passed by, but did not help, and was slapped by Rigazi. After Matsuno Feng knew about it, he punched Du Qituo to the ground, and the two did not talk to each other until graduation.
After graduating from high school, the three of them divided things.
In the first high school reunion after college, Tu Qi Tuo and Matsuno Feng met again. In the melodious trumpet background music full of nostalgic feelings, the two walked on the seaside dam, said their original heart knot, and reconciled As always.
At the class reunion, Li Jiazi did not appear. One of the girls, Shimizu, talked about the festival with Rikiko at the time because the world in her eyes was too small. She was, and so was Rijiako.
After drinking, a few people took a walk, and the girl Ohama said that Rigazi told her that there was a person in Tokyo that she wanted to meet, and it was the one who was sleeping in the bathtub. Du Qi Tuo finally realized that he wanted to be with Li Jiazi like that. Looking at the bright Kochi castle under the night sky, Takuya Duzaki said in his heart: "The Kochi castle is particularly dazzling under the light, if you just watch it by yourself, I'm afraid it will only feel like a waste of electricity, but if you can watch it with Rikako , I will definitely feel beautiful. I really hope that when I was in high school, I could chat with Li Jiazi and admire the tower with Li Jiazi like this."
Back in Tokyo, at the station, Tusaki Takuma and Rigazi meet again. The picture is fixed on the beautiful Li Jiazi in Du Qituo's eyes, Du Qituo said with emotion: "Ah, I really like her. I feel this way deeply."
Jay Chou's "Maple" sings like this: "I listen to the mood that has been silent for a long time, clear and transparent, just like the beautiful scenery, I can always see it clearly in my memory." "Hearing the Sound of the Waves" tells such a story At first, the young men and women failed to perceive the true feelings in their hearts, or they noticed that they were too young and clumsy to deal with it. Only when they looked back on the past, did they see the most beautiful scenery and purest feelings in their memories. There are only regrets in the past, and the sound of the waves is lifted out of thin air.
The use of memory to plan the layout is the biggest feature of Hearing the Waves. Shortly after the film begins, the plane rises into the sky, and Du Qituo's tone brings us back to the memories of our youth: "Matsuno and I met Rigazi for the first time..." The main story of the film is all about the male protagonist. completed in memory. In addition, the film ingeniously adopts the form of small format (the picture only occupies a part of the screen), a unique form of flashback and memory, which creates a sense of alienation for the audience. With the narration of the hero, the audience is pulled out of the plot. , so that the whole film is filled with a touch of regret and sadness from beginning to end.
In the film, Shimizu said that the world we saw at that time was too small. She who said these words suddenly aroused our understanding, and it was precisely the way of recalling people who came before, so that we can understand with empathy and look back at the youth of yesterday with the eyes of the world. Can we uncles and aunts who are running for the third time not hear the ups and downs of the heart in the emotional trumpet background music of the film?
At the same time, the limitation of the male protagonist's perspective also causes information asymmetry, thus forming a dramatic conflict. The heroine is completely incomprehensible to the hero. The hero (we) can't understand the mysterious heroine, how she likes her, and her friends who know best that the two like each other. This is a hidden clue to advance the story, deciphering layer by layer, and revealing the true inner world of the characters step by step. We as viewers just say "oh oh, that's how it is" over and over again.
If the story design of the film is based on Hollywood screenwriting techniques, it is really bland. There are neither ups and downs in the plot nor strong characters, but only the youthful daily life and faint feelings of young boys and girls. A review article by Shinji Miyatai pointed out that "Hearing the Waves" is a "relational story" that describes the relationship between self and others, not an "agent experience story" that describes the turbulent experience that is impossible under ordinary circumstances.
Undoubtedly, "agent experience stories" are Hollywood-style and highly dramatic, and "relational stories" are Korean and Japanese-style life streams. The advancement of the plot is to show the evolution of the relationship between the characters, so it must be more delicate and real, closer to reality. , which also resulted in a more realistic portrayal of characters. That is the second biggest feature of the film - the characters are so real and lovely!
Especially the heroine is the biggest highlight. She is beautiful, but her small shortcomings of bad temper are a bit "innumerable"!
He is arrogant and arrogant. He comes from Tokyo, he is well-informed, and he is good at studying and sports, but he disdains to get close to his classmates. scold and cry;
Lies by nature, lied that he lost his money and borrowed money from the actor, tricked Xiaohama into going to a concert in Osaka, and made the actor pretend to be his boyfriend;
Self-centered, it seems that the whole world should revolve around him, and he does not understand the difficulties of his mother's divorce. The hero lends himself money as he should, and the hero accompanies him all the way to Tokyo without knowing gratitude;
Vanity is superficial, obsessed with the colorful life in the big city, showing off to each other with ex-boyfriend;
Ah, ah, counting down all the way, such a delicate young lady is really a headache! But only in this way can it conform to the true image in the hearts of thousands of men and women. Girls can substitute for themselves, and boys feel at their fingertips, just like the present.
Miyatai Shinji said in his commentary: The girls who appear in Miyazaki's animation are always strong and gentle, and ideal like motherhood (Lana, Nausicaa, Shita). Where is such a guy? But in "Hearing the Waves," the "real girl" clearly appears. Yes, it is the image of a girl who is completely incomprehensible from the eyes of a boy. Just like Rikako Muto.
When I think about it, boys in junior high and high school are really cheap, and they just like girls who are annoying and worrying like this. This is precisely a kind of immature romance, it can only belong to that age, it can only belong to the stupid country boy with class and vision gap that has never been obtained. Like at the end of "Tokyo Love Story", Wanzhi finally gave up the impulsive and romantic Rika and took the gentle and virtuous Satomi's hand, which can only be called realistic sadness.
At this point, I suddenly think of "The Little Prince", the arrogant, dignified, narcissistic, and stinky flower, and the clumsy care of the little prince. Love may have thousands of gestures, but I know that the pure love of youth and the first love of life must be soft and distressing.
The most beautiful scenery can always be seen clearly in the memory. That thin and transparent love like cicada's wings has gone through the dust of the world, but at a certain moment of looking back, it can penetrate time and space, and it is as clear as yesterday.
"Ah, I really like her. I feel that way deeply."
