I think this is a summer movie: mottled light and shadow and long trumpets. "Hearing the Waves", I personally think it is a quirky work by Studio Ghibli . I call it weird because it's a very realistic and refreshing work. When it comes to Ghibli , we think of "Spirited Away", "My Neighbor Totoro", "Nausicaa", "Princess Mononoke" and other science/magic works, or the depressing atmosphere of "Spirited Away" "Grave of Fireflies", even "Listening", is more than fresh and lacking in realism, and the emotional entanglement of boys and girls in "Hearing the Wave" is closer to our lives. So, I'd say it's a quirky work, and Miyazaki is said to be unhappy with this work. (For the ins and outs of this drama, if you are interested, you can watch this ten-year-old documentary The Voice of the Tide Ten Years Later ) Post a paragraph which works that have been adapted into movies are not inferior to or even surpass the original? Here's my answer:
Jilip's younger generation at that time adapted it from the first half of the novel of the same name by Masako Hiimuro. Indeed, the second half of the novel was well written, but the movie version made Li Jiaozi not attend the class reunion, but arranged for her to meet Takuya at Tokyo Station. The two smiled at each other and stopped abruptly. The second half of the original book delicately describes the process of the two gradually approaching, and the movie ends here, and the charm is endless. Because this is where boys and girls hear each other's thoughts, it doesn't matter what they do next. It is to hear the sound of the waves, not the sound of the waves. What impressed me the most was the trumpet when Takuya and Matsuno Feng looked at the sunset at the pier, and when he heard that Li Jiaozi wanted to meet the man sleeping in the bathtub in Tokyo, Takuya's surprise and Matsuno's knowing smile. If you and your best friend fall in love with the same girl, you should understand the complicated feelings and the silent understanding. I think this description is better than the novel.
Tell me, why is this movie so touching? I think the biggest reason is the truth. When it comes to movies such as "graduation", "secret love", "youth", etc., countless movies and animations can emerge in our minds, so what is the difference between "Hear the Waves"? Some people say that domestic youth campus movies are inseparable from abortion or cheating, while in Japanese anime, at least one of the male protagonists or the female protagonist is gentle and pleasant, but they like each other but are careful to kill the audience. The difference between "Hearing the Waves" lies in two scenes: Tu Qi Taku, who is sleeping in the bathtub, slaps each other in public with Taku and Li Jia Zi. The former tells us that this is really a pure love film, and the latter tells us that pure love films are not always ambiguous eyes, gentle words, not always a "daddy", a rambling letter, a love lunch. I haven't watched many movies, and it's rare for the hero and heroine to slap each other in the face. So, are these two scenarios real? It is said that Hayao Miyazaki doubted that the male and female protagonists slept in the same room but did not have skin-to-skin relationship. I believe that some people will curse when they see Takuya sleeping in the bathtub: Note orphan! However, Takuya's sleeping in the bathtub cannot be dismissed with reasons like "the plot needs it" or "the original is just like that". Let's think about it, what is Takuya's character, what is Rigazi's character? Regardless of whether the arrogant Tuo would not take advantage of people's danger, he said that he was the overlord and bowed hard. I guess Li Jiazi would chop him up with a knife afterward. Is there such a thing in reality? Yes, I dare to guarantee. Do you slap each other with female classmates? This should be relatively rare, but still understandable. Li Jiazi slapped Tuo, and Tuo returned his hand to explain that "proud young girls will not handle their inner feelings correctly, but will only express and vent in all kinds of strange ways", which is why sometimes When a boy likes a girl, he will bully her. For most people's youth, it is not like two gentle people gradually approaching and gradually moving away, nor is it like listening to a dream together, often we secretly like a person but don't know how to express it, or even why They hate each other without knowing it, but after they are far away from each other, they accidentally understand each other's feelings. We are all as clumsy as Takuya and Rigazi. Therefore, it is this kind of truth that makes us inadvertently substitute our own stories, so when we hear the sentence: "The person who wants to meet in Tokyo is the person who sleeps in the bathtub", we will smile, and at that moment Not only Takuya and Rigazi heard the inner waves, but also we recalled some silly and ridiculous moments, some irreparable regrets, some late awakenings. And the last reunion on the platform is our own inner hope Hope, we also hope to have such a chance to meet again, don't we?
