Summer is all about fighting!

I saw a color illustration of "Summer Wars" in Sadamoto Yoshiyuki's collection. I don't know what it is. Judging from the poster, it is a pastoral film in the style of Hayao Miyazaki.

Until Tiantian Up on Mango Channel, it was another anime show. The ace producer Maruyama Masao was invited. This old man with a toothless tooth mentioned "Summer Wars" produced this summer, and only remembered that there is such a film. Looking on VeryCD, there is only a standard definition version with embedded subtitles. It is said that the film version was released in Nortel in the summer, which is a pity.

I have to see if the stick is not. It was only after the opening chapter that I found out that this is not a pastoral film... The

opening chapter first showed a future online world - OZ. The mention of this name reminds me of the "OZ Country Adventure" in the animated version of "The Wizard of Oz". Does it have anything to do with the setting? This virtually omnipotent, all-encompassing virtual world feels like an evolved version of Facebook and twitter years later. But a little early, it has been born in today's Japan, a world that can be accessed with Dell computers, Sharp phones, and DSi. From a child of a few years old to an old man with white hair, everyone is more or less connected to this world.

The pattern of the story is simple, the self-learning of the AI ​​program clutters the online world, which in turn affects reality. The otaku protagonist is pushed by ducks to save the world with a little bit of Olympiad expertise. But standing with him is an ordinary Japanese family. At family gatherings, they have seven aunts and eight aunts like us during the Spring Festival. The women are busy in the kitchen, the men are sitting on the sofa chatting and watching TV, the children are running around the house, and the misfit teenagers surf the Internet alone in the corner. ...you will believe that this is one of our ordinary families. Everyone has different occupations and different personalities, but they are inextricably linked with the entire family. Even the prodigal son who has been away from home for many years is still silently waiting for the day he will return.

For about 2/3 of the space, the story progresses little by little, until Sei calls his children and juniors all over Japan to encourage them one by one. The strength of an old man and this makes people more respectful and moving - the head of a traditional family should have this kind of tolerance.

Every detail is in place, whether it's the books on the bookshelf behind the good owner's horse, or a song bug in the grass in the dark night. In the final battle, the family moved in a military communication vehicle, a computer in a server cluster, and a power-generating fishing boat. It seemed absurd, but they couldn't help but believe it was true. Every character in the big family has such a clear image, just like the elders and relatives that you and I have seen since childhood. You would believe that they are like that, a big family holding a computer and mobile phone DSi, frowning and sweating at the crazy enemy on the screen.

The Japanese did a good job of popularizing a handful of flowers in the film. No matter how modern and electronic the nation develops, its adherence to its own traditions always dwarfs us. Only the Japanese can do it by using flowers for a decisive battle.

Rong was only slightly warmed up when he was on the phone, and when the German boy decided to donate ID to support Xia Xi in the decisive battle, I finally burst into tears. Just like the thousands of chanting on twitter, and the silent promotion of common interests by every twitter friend. The Internet will really bring about the great unity of billions of human beings. With 150 million IDs standing behind them, the ending of the story is no longer important.

The day after watching the film, I still can't let go of that emotion. I took it out and watched it again, the same time, the same plot, the same emotion, and the same tears. Go to the designated seat and apply for a seat. If there is a theater version, I will experience that world again.

Yes, and "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" is a director, Mamoru Hosoda.

    The classic mode of juvenile comics combines the power of everyone to hit the boss, and there are bloody fights. The hidden line of baseball with the elements of family affection and love is also very well used.

    Good movie, rubbish name. Even if it's called Summer Wars, it's better than Summer Wars, though Summer Wars sucks too

Summer Wars quotes

  • Kazuma Ikezawa: It's no game, it's a sport. Games are for people who don't care enough. In sports, you compete to win.

  • Sakae Jinnouchi: [a letter in an envelope reading: To the family - read when the time comes, from passed away granny Sakae Jinnouchi, read in her voice] To my family. // First, take yourselves a deep breath. Crying and carrying on doesn't help anything. Make my funeral arrangement a simple affair, just our close friends, and then go back to your day-to-day lives. I don't have anything to leave you in a way of an inheritance. That said, I'm sure my old acquaintances will keep an eye on Jin'nôchi family. No need to worry, my dears. You've always been hard workers, and I know you'll keep it up. And grant me this. If Wabisuke should ever make his way back home... He's been gone ten years and counting now, so who's to say if that day will ever come... But if he does, I'm sure he'll be hungry. He never took proper care of himself and probably weren't even eating right. So, let him have as many vegetables from the fields as he wants. And the grapes and peaches, too, he always loved those the best. I remember the day we first met. Even now it's clear as a bell, his little ears look just like my husband's. Definitely, his father's son. We walked through the field of morning glories and I told him he would be our child from that day forward. He didn't say a single word, but his hand wrapped all the tighter around my finger. I was so happy to be giving him the family he needed. I like to think he could feel the happiness radiating off of me. Never turn your back on family, even when they hurt you. Never let life get the better of you. And if you remember nothing else, remember to find time to eat together as a family, even when times are rough; especially when times are rough. There's no lack of painful things in this world, but hunger and loneliness must surely be two of the worst. Thanks to you, my precious family, I didn't know a moment of either of those the last ninety years. // Love you all. Good bye.
