Seeing Xinhai's sincerity in the clouds

After ignoring the plot, I saw the sincerity of the painter, which is an effort to overlap the world in the painting with reality. Makoto Shinkai seems to be particularly good at dealing with details. Except for the unremarkable characters, the scenery and still life are both realistic and beautiful. For example, in the train section, the reflected light from the roof of the car is flowing, and the light and shadow outside the window are changing; While waiting for the bus on the platform, the boy crossed the wet umbrella on the ground, the shape of the water splashes he took... I also love the sky in his paintings, there are always different color levels, this is his previous work , the sky in the recently hit "Your Name" is even more dazzling.
The reason why I was moved is because I watched the light moving with people in the animation, and the slight ripples on the water surface flickered with the light. It was like seeing a painter standing by the lake and observing for an afternoon. Those inadvertent little details seemed to be The tacit understanding between the audience and the artist is like, "Have you seen it?" "So you noticed it too." This kind of interaction makes people feel friendly and appreciates the author who carefully observes the things around him and can A painter who records beauty and shows it to the audience. I have always called it a painter rather than an author because I personally feel that the plot is not so moving. Makoto Shinkai is not a satisfied Andersen in this film. To tell the truth, I was "cheated" by the title, but a good title is half the success. How many people want to find out because of this beautiful and a little sad title? Probably not a few. In fact, the title of the play is appropriate. From the disassembly, the "cloud" is the dream of the plane, and the "promise" is the agreement between you and me.
After watching several anime films one after another, three works by Makoto Shinkai, I am not a loyal fan, so let me talk about my own thoughts. [Beyond the Clouds] The whole narrative is a bit monotonous, the plot, how should I put it, when I watch it, I always feel that I have missed something, and there is a very important point, the episode is not impressive enough, sometimes it is so simple, remember I remember a movie when I listen to the song, and I want to cry when I hear the song. This is representative of Hayao Miyazaki's works, and I can almost remember it. Four stars are given to Makoto Shinkai, the painter, and five stars are reserved for Makoto Shinkai, who can now tell stories!
