Japanese movies, even Japanese dramas and animations have a rating formula: find a team competition, and find a group of people who have their own shortcomings and are considered unfavorable to form a team to compete. After some setbacks, they miraculously succeeded. Can sing and cry, romantic and inspirational.

This is a typical Japanese youth film mode. Popular in the past, it seems to be in line with the spiritual needs of Japan's hardships after the defeat of the war. In fact, the Japanese never give up, take things seriously, and at the same time emphasize teamwork, it is indeed the reason for their rapid re-emergence after the war.

Recently watching "Linda Linda Linda" by a band of four girls, people will think of "Laba Academy" and "Five Boys Who Throwing Water" which have been successful at the box office in recent years. Mies said that I had left out Reina Tanaka's debut novel, Mountain Dew.

When I think about it, I also agree that Mountain Dew and Linda Linda Linda are relatively close. The former can be said to be the forerunner of breaking through the classic mode. The rowing team in Mountain Dew didn't create a miracle, focusing on the friendship between several girls; "Linda Linda Linda" also cares about the bits and pieces of campus life, and goes further, there is no competition at all, not even struggle process and competitors. It is indeed more human to not think about ichiban's life all day long, as long as you don't indulge in going to the other extreme. In fact, living in moderation is the most difficult and the least marketable. It is a clear proof to see that the streets are full of scumbags or people who want to stand out.

Atsuhiro Yamashita is the director I have seen with the lowest expressive desire among Japanese Mesozoic authors, but he can leave his mark on almost every inch of the film. Although there are many shortcomings, this is definitely the film that captures the essence of the temperament of "campus youth": sometimes brisk, a few highlights, most of the time is loose and helpless and even a little lonely, so in "Linda! Linda! Linda! "in space-time is fluid. It's as silent as an empty room, piled up with a few young people's confusion, caution, and effort toward useless melancholy, and then the rest of the empty air is filled with the audience's memory. / In the last scene, although the heavy rain added some hardships to the performance, it also filled the gymnasium with audiences taking shelter from the rain.
