Does the WTF ending of "Weather Children" seem a bit like a prequel to "Yokohama Shopping Journey" haha.

When I wrote " The War between Oshii Mamoru and Hayao Miyazaki " ten years ago , I saw what Miyazaki said:
I hope to live another 30 years. I want to see the ocean flooding Tokyo and NTV's TV tower becoming an isolated island. I want to see Manhattan become an underwater city...I am excited about all this. Money and desire, all of this will collapse, and all of this will be taken over by the green weeds.
Xin Haicheng's first feature film "Children Chasing Lost Voices" is full of the old feeling of the 1980s. The quiet monologue is still the short film Xin Haicheng, and it feels very Ghibli when it moves. Unexpectedly, this time I photographed the sinking of Tokyo that Miyazaki imagined.
This really means a bit of a lifetime... I just don’t know who it is for haha, it may be Hayao Miyazaki, it may be just Makoto Shinkai’s wish, and finally found the form of tribute is not in the face but in the bottom, or at all. He didn't want anyone to see it. Of course, it is more likely that my audience is over-associated haha.
Every time there is a decent work on the stage, everyone is eager to discuss who can become Hayao Miyazaki's successor. I don't know whether Makoto Shinkai can become Hayao Miyazaki's successor. I don't know, but he is the first to become Japan after Hayao Miyazaki at the box office. The second local director in film history with two tens of billions of yen box office works.

When "Children Chasing Lost Stars", although the artistic level of expression (not limited to the setting of the theme and the degree of audio-visual combination) was still lacking, it was a bit like when Takahata made "The Adventure of the Sun Prince Halls", Rough, but you can really see something, especially in the sense of cinema... It may be the pursuit of realism, and it also includes radical editing and mirroring, which makes it look like a normal Japanese animation. What the filmmaker's identity seeks.
"your name. "It is true that Xin Haicheng is given a god-given opportunity, so that "Children of the Weather" will appear. It is not only that he made a skewer in "Children of the Weather" to create a Xinhaicheng universe. In "Children of the Weather", he also perfected his visual aesthetics. In addition, in terms of audio-visual integration-not only the sound The painting is synchronized, and the addition of music to the theme is also very good. After all, it is the guy who made the "Through the Years & Far Away" of "Voice of Stars".
"Children Chasing Lost Voices" "Your Name." "I have given four stars, "Weathering Children" I think I have taken it to a higher level. Xin Haicheng's evolution is not over yet, it feels like this. But I didn't expect that, when I looked at the rating, "Children of the Weather" was actually lower than "Children Chasing the Stars"...because of "Your Name." "The psychological gap of the audience is too big! ?
"Children Chasing Lost Voices" because of the specificity of the setting, it means that he is trying to jump out of his original theme. So, in fact, the next one, the next feature film is still the love of high school students, or other possible themes. , Is the key to determine whether Xin Haicheng can evolve again.
Anyway, what else can he do if he doesn't make animations? Go back to run the inheritance family business (architect family)? But I feel that all the houses have been sunk this time, which is a bit of a ruin.

Kawamura Genki was really overwhelmed this time.
Also, that's how it feels.
Genki Kawamura has pressed Hosoda Mamoru many times, and he pressed it once on Akiyuki Nifada ("Fireworks")... which directly led to the existence of some similar elements in these works that he was a producer-from the poster In the above, it is the blue sky series, including the Nagai Ryukyu × Okada Kori released last month, and the title is directly called "The One Who Knows the Blue Sky". It's Sima Zhao's heart.
Of course it may also be accidental.
In short, to be honest, I feel that I can discuss it with Hosoda Mamoru's "Future of the Future".
Kawamura produced Hosoda's three "Children of the Wolf Rain and Snow", "Children of Monsters" and "Future Future". They may seem nothing on their own, but the system feels quite obvious when viewed together.
In addition, "Future of the Future", it actually feels like "This is almost Hosoda Mamoru's "My Neighbor Totoro"", and "Children of the Monsters" is the Harry Potter version of Spirited Away, and "Wolf's" Why are there no wolves in "Children Rain and Snow", because she-wolves have become women-a little bit against "Princess Mononoke"... So around to the beginning of our paragraph, let me just say:
This is indeed Kawamura Genki's tribute series to Hayao Miyazaki! ? Hayao Miyazaki fans gather number! ?
As for the title of "Weather Children"... why not call it " 100% Sunny Girl "? Maybe it will get a wave of Haruki Murakami ("Encountered a 100% Girl") fans to contribute to the box office. Of course, it can also be called "Love yourself, everyone else is a young dog".
