Why do we like to miss our youth?
I think I miss that purer and simpler self!
I miss that time, waking up in a daze every morning
Do what you want, everything is simple
We are full of energy and contentment
Happiness now seems to be thin and indifferent
It's getting farther and farther away from us.
So, I prefer youthful years.
Thinking about it now: Even the people I hated back then are now forgotten.
You see, time is so magical!
In everyone's youth, there has probably been such a person: a few years later, at a certain moment in your life, the corner of your mouth will rise inadvertently when you think of it.
Today I recommend this infinitely youthful animation, produced by Studio Ghibli, but it has nothing to do with Hayao Miyazaki, and is an innovative work by a group of new generation staff.
The name of the movie is "I Heard the Waves".
Some comments said: fresh and tranquil, the film is full of throbbing and sadness that only belongs to youth. It is so kind that you can't help but smile, and at the same time, it is full of sweet and sour emotions that are indescribable.
After watching the film, I personally feel that the film is more valuable in its simple essence and real resonance.
The plot may seem bland, but it is as real as our youthful years:
Every day comes calmly, passes lightly, occasionally a little accident, no big deal, but it will breed a little good memory in my heart.
90's, Japan, Kochi.
A summer embraced by wind and waves.
A light dance and flying student era.
Rikako Muto, a girl who transferred from Tokyo.
Successfully attracted the attention of this group of small town children.
Female classmates are jealous and hate her beauty, grades and maverick.
But it is sought after by a large group of fans.
But Rigazi is not the gentle and beautiful heroine who came out of the comics.
She is a little proud of herself, selfish, self-willed, vain, and occasionally lies.
But she also has real cuteness and smart toughness.
Du Qituo is a village boy with a clean temperament.
He is righteous, friendly, and soft-hearted.
Because his best friend Matsuno Toyo fell in love with Rigazi, he also noticed her.
By chance, he accompanied her to Tokyo to find her father.
But this trip to Tokyo was not a good one, full of quarrels and complaints.
The relationship between Rigazi and her father is deteriorating, and her relationship with her ex-boyfriend has also broken down...
In the daytime, Tuo saw the fragility of the stronger Rigazi for the first time, but at night he fell asleep in the bathtub helplessly.
After the Tokyo trip, then their relationship didn't improve, instead it became more distant and awkward.
Because Takuya cared about the feelings of his best friend, he slapped each other unexpectedly after arguing with Rigazi .
At first, I didn't quite understand why Takuya slapped Rigazi back.
After thinking about it, I understand: Li Jiazi slapped Tuo, which is in line with her strong character and the mood of the characters under the situation at that time.
And what Li Jiazi said after Tuo returned his hand when he left: You are so kind to your friends! Meaningful ah.
Due to his loyalty to help his friends, and because he didn't know how to deal with his inner emotions at that age, Taku finally used a wrong expression.
Once, Li Jiazi was harassed by a female classmate.
Taku, who happened to pass by, didn't help, and ended up being slapped by Rigazi.
Matsuno Feng, who came here, also punched Tuo after knowing the incident.
In this way, they did not speak after that, and went to different universities.
Years later, Takuya returned to Kochi from Tokyo. Toyo Matsuno drove to the station to pick him up, and he apologized for hitting him back then.
Tuo said with a smile: "What, that's why you came to pick me up." Let's take a walk together, we haven't seen each other for a long time.
They came to the beach for a walk, and Matsuno told Taku about his mood at the time: I hit you because I was angry, and you didn't help Li Jiazi because you were worried about my feelings. It wasn't until that moment that I realized that you also like Li Jiazi. Gazi.
Matsuno is a precocious and thoughtful boy, and the line of friendship between him and Taku is a highlight.
They met because they also opposed the school's cancellation of the trip to the third-year graduates. The reason for Matsuno's objection was that even if he looked back on this past decades later, this unfinished graduation trip would still be a pity.
This surprised Takuda, and his inner thought was: in the future, compared with other classmates, Matsuno Feng will have a different status in his mind.
Friendship in childhood is so simple, friends may come from a small inner identification.
This reminds me of my admiration for a classmate in elementary school because of a book he recommended, and then we had a pleasant friendship.
The next day, at the class reunion, some people gradually separated, and some bravely confessed...
Takuya and Matsuno Feng, who have returned to good, are looking forward to the arrival of Rigazi, but there are too many uncertainties, and both of them are drinking wine thoughtfully. This part is very real, I like it very much, and there is a complex emotion in it.
In the end, Rigazi did not appear.
Taku learned from a friend that Rigazi had a person in Tokyo who he had been looking forward to meeting, and the other was a person who slept in a bathtub.
Takuya smiled knowingly, recalling bits and pieces of the past about Rigazi.
It turned out that those words and actions that she didn't pay attention to at the time were all the reflections of her inner thoughts. Those moments of vulnerability that she exposed were just like this in front of the people she felt close to, but he didn't understand it at the time, and now he looks back. Thinking about it, it's pretty cute.
Her frowns and smiles, her strength and tears, were like the familiar and cordial ocean tide gently hugging him.
Different from our unrequited love, they finally completed their youthful consummation at the station.
This is in line with the character characteristics of the hero and heroine. The heroine Li Jiazi has always been a strong girl with her own opinions. She will not let the person she likes slip away quietly, and the hero is also very emotional. People, it is reasonable for them to come together without losing each other in the end.
I like the light taste of this film, it has a warm feeling like a slight smile that makes people reminisce.
Because of nervousness, shyness will pretend to be indifferent in front of the opposite sex and look at magazines on their own.
In order to vent his anger, he would buy someone else's secret photo of her swimsuit, thinking that he could forget his disgust towards her.
Overwhelmed and inner feelings when facing the embrace of the opposite sex for the first time: My feeling at the time was that it was more exaggerated than the plot of the series.
Takuya's personality is a bit slow and emotionally sluggish. It may take a while to get used to the university, and it's summer vacation as soon as he gets used to it. This should be similar to some people.
And the touching words that Shimizu said when a few people watched the night view of the town together after the dinner:
But remember, hating her can also become miss. Just like swapping seats, in elementary school, the annoying child sitting next to you will refuse to go to school because you are too disappointed. "The world is too small, the people you hate are around", it will be very uncomfortable. But when it comes to cram schools and piano classes, and when you go to the world outside of school, if you have one or two people you hate, it's nothing.
When I grew up, I realized how narrow the world was in my eyes.
Are we not like that?
I always like to look at others from my own narrow perspective, and I don't know how many interesting people I have missed.
These precious moments may also be our life experiences.
Those seemingly inconspicuous little things in life, we may also miss many precious moments.
It's just that many times when we understand those ignorant moments, our lives have long been blown up by the wind.
Fortunately, the film "Hearing the Waves" allows us to relive those bland and brisk life years.
I miss the time of youth when I knew little but was free.
I miss the pure years when I could hear the sound of the waves, and those lovely people who didn't know where they were and were doing something.
