I also decided to stand on this muddy water

As a newcomer to Suzumiya, I really watched "Disappearance" after watching the 28 episodes of the TV version. The total length of 163 minutes is considered to be relatively long in the theatrical version, but there is no such boring feeling in the process of watching and to be honest, I was really shocked by this work.

In the selection of BGM, Satie's classic song "Jimno Petti No. 1 Piano" was used. In the first half of the movie, the story is slowly narrated to the audience (I remember that Makoto Shinkai also used this song in one of his works), and the gorgeous storyboards show the confusion of Ah Xu and the shyness of the literary girl Yuxi. The atmosphere of the youthful student life belonging to that age is vividly displayed. With a touch of depression, as a viewer, you may be even more confused than the protagonist Ah Xu. Faced with the choice, accepting this fact will continue this ordinary life, or choose to retrieve the lost part, although "bullyed" "A time full of adventure and excitement?
In fact, I think Yuki is the most sympathetic character in this work, who "stealed" Suzumiya's power? "Falsified" this time and space? "bug"? It was the mission that made her say that, it was the mission that gave her this sense of self-blame, and the only thing Yuxi had and depended on was the mission. Of course, if the eternal time can also be counted as her company, but the eternal time can only be transformed into endless loneliness. In the TV version, there used to be a series of "Endless August" that made viewers feel pained. The 8-episode same plot really made me discover that I am really a pure man who can endure. However, behind these 8 episodes, there are indeed more than 15,000 repetitions, and Yuxi is the only one who has a complete memory of nearly 600 years. I really want to ask like A Xu, "How do you survive the 15,000-odd repetitions?" Maybe your answer is still "My mission is just to observe." Yes, but how did you endure this hundred years of loneliness when you seem to have no feelings?
So, seeing Ready? In that row of words, maybe my mood is more entangled than Ah Xu, maybe he will hesitate? Maybe he hit the wrong key? Maybe you can stay and accompany this shy literary girl? I am anxious for Ah Xu and anxious for Youxi. Then, the returned application form and Youxi's crying expression told me, Ah Xu, you still can't let it go. Maybe, in your eyes, the real Youxi is just that expressionless girl. But at least, I don't want to see Yuxi alone anymore...
The magnificent BGM and gorgeous storyboards of Axu's monologue once again shined. In the end, Axu chose to be extraordinary. He still had his friends, the SOS group, Haruhi, and the silent Yuki. Everything are back.
After watching this film, "Jimno Petti No. 1 Piano Song" has always echoed in my mind. High school is an ordinary life, at least for me, it has been more than a year since I entered college, and nothing new has ever happened. by your side. Infected by the virus at home, I also got used to this secluded life early on. Sitting in front of the screen, holding a cup of tea, silently watching the laughter and scolding of the characters in the play. When laughing, we laugh wildly together; when we cry, we can't squeeze out tears, but we also grit our teeth sadly. If you give me a chance to choose, in that Ready? What answer will I give after that?
It's been snowing these few days. It's rare to go out for a walk and step on the snow on the ground. Do I also have the confusion of Ah Xu? But which Nagato big cute god will give me the chance to choose this? Maybe no matter which key is pressed, it will be a wonderful life! For me at least... but stories are stories after all, and dreams are often just dreams. And I, too, was just a sleepwalker afflicted by a sick house.
