"Doraemon: Walk With Me": In fact, this is also a "youth film"

While watching this animated film, I kept thinking, what is the meaning of the film. I always agree with the saying that movies can become dream machines. There is another world in movies, compressing and even manipulating time and space, leading us to escape the helplessness and hardships of reality, and integrate into a world that we clearly know is deceiving children. But I still read the story with relish, and then, when the theater lights were turned on again, I woke up with a reluctant dream.
From "Draemon" to the orthodox transliteration of "Doraemon", even if you may be like me, you haven't watched an episode of TV animation before this theatrical version, but this blue fat man has already become a post-80s generation , The childhood memory symbols of the post-90s, bamboo dragonfly, arbitrary door, memory bread... Countless brain-opening inventions that are completely impossible to exist now are continuously taken from Doraemon's pocket When we once wanted to fly freely like birds, when we were worried that we would be late for school every day, when we found out that the book we should read before the exam had not been read, we could not help but fall into a momentary fantasy. Just like boys fantasize about being superman, girls fantasize about Prince Charming. And we will eventually grow up to the age of those who love fantasy, and then go to the society, busy, no longer believe in those fantasies that fall from the sky, and start to work hard for life and dreams down-to-earth.
The best look and feel of "Doraemon: Come With Me" is obviously based on these resonant elements of our generation of young people. Just like the domestic youth films that have spread wantonly recently, even if they are criticized by thousands of people, there are still audiences in the theater. They couldn't help crying, because they were not crying about the hero and heroine in the story, but their youth that they could never return. For the consideration of the theatrical version, this "Doraemon" has a relatively complete narrative from beginning to end, and is also limited by space. More specific event development, characterization and relationship characterization still have to be handed over to the TV version of the animation. For example, how did you accept Doraemon little by little? The process of describing Nobita's specific growth experience is far less convincing than "Spirited Away" due to the lack of space for specific events. However, the audience's own brain supplement will not make the film look so blunt and must not be Not to mention this is a bit of cheating.
In the first half of the movie, Doraemon helped Nobita with various props, shaking off all kinds of burdens by the way, lighthearted and humorous, just like those sweet and romantic loves described in youth films, which will undoubtedly do the follow-up separation. Contrast and foreshadowing. Later, Doraemon led Nobita to the future, Nobita saved Shizuka alone, and learned the fact that he would marry the goddess, as if telling Nobita that your return will be even better. Seeing this, it is estimated that many viewers will start to sigh at this fairy tale of counter-attack, and, only a movie that ignores the theory of time travel can tell you with such certainty that tomorrow will be better.
So growing up is not the theme of this film. How to face those encounters and farewells in life is what makes the film feel like a youth film to me. In the process of our growth, we will always meet such and such people, perhaps our good teachers, perhaps our good friends, or the boys who are more likely to be associated with girls, who give themselves an unforgettable relationship, he knows He trusted us, encouraged us, and helped us with our shortcomings and needs, and then suddenly one day, he saw our growth and progress, felt our happiness and joy, and for some unavoidable reason Or reasons, about to leave us, tell us that we can still take care of ourselves and still live well without him. And those years of "walking with me" will never go back.
Like "Super Marines", as an animated film, I can't ask how cruel the end of the film is, for example, this can really be a dream of Nobita, and then he wakes up and is still late for school. For example, Doraemon did not leave any props for Nobita, and there is no final reunion ending. Nobita eventually has to rely on his own efforts to grow up slowly, just like Nobita who grew up before did not want to see Doraemon. A scene, after all, it is better to miss seeing each other. But all of this brings me back to the topic I mentioned at the beginning, the reason I'm thinking of these endings is because I've grown to the point of compromising reality. And this film can disregard the so-called logic and fate, and implant the most innocent and beautiful dream into our deep minds. Nobita bought dorayaki to lure Doraemon to show up, and after reuniting with Doraemon, he desperately told those duplicitous lies because of drinking potions. Such sensationalism and exaggeration may be the best ending to deal with!
Finally, I really like the NG bridges designed at the end of the film, especially the scene where Doraemon appeared for the first time. Repeated NG seems to be able to keep the good memories of the first meeting forever. what about...

    When I was young, I always wanted to have a Doraemon, but he still didn't come when I grew up. In fact, he has been here, growing in your heart bud, making you fantasize about him. Isn't everything in Fujio's writings and the treasures in his pockets a fantasy? There is only one Doraemon in the world, but he is accompanied by more than one Nobita.
