This anime received a high score of over 8 points when it debuted, and the market feedback was almost unanimously positive.
Domestic and foreign blockbusters in October almost fell into a vortex of low scores and negative reviews, and the entire film market can be said to be silent.
" suddenly looking back " adapted from Teng Benshu's comic book broke out and scored high scores in one fell swoop.
A comic can be so powerful, one can’t help but wonder what kind of story it is?
The only shortcoming that the audience gave to this comic is:
The length is too short. The whole film is only 75 minutes. If you cut off the beginning and end, there are probably more than 50 minutes of main content.
The whole story is very simple, with Kyomoto and Fujino becoming friends and later separated. The place where
cannot come out for a long time is emotional expression, which combines pure and rich emotions.
Fujino gave Kyomoto a graduation certificate and saw with his own eyes the mountains of picture books.
Through a door, Kyomoto in the room and Fujino outside the room had close contact for the first time.
The door blocked the two worlds inside and outside the house. Fujino's piece of paper quietly sneaked into the house, announcing that the barrier in physical space was broken.
Kyomoto chased behind Fujino and loudly expressed his love for Fujino.
After Fujino pretended to be calm and left, a man jumped for joy in the fields. showed that the psychological space barrier was broken .
Fujino stepped on the muddy puddles one by one on the field path back home. The heavy rain poured down, watering him again. His light steps followed the falling speed of the raindrops and became more and more joyful.
The most in-depth detail of the entire film is the scene of Fujino jumping happily on the rice field path.
The pace is from slow to fast, then to running, the intensity is from slow to heavy. In the middle part, the feet are treading water hard, and the running body is twisted, as if it is flying.
The splashing water collides with the rain falling from the sky in the air, which is the embodiment of the joyful and jumping musical notes in Fuji Yimei.
The road lines next to it pull back the foreground of the characters under the pull-back lens, stretching out the sense of movement. The surrounding scenery is constantly changing, close-up, panoramic, and distant views. The composition of the shot gradually amplifies Fujino's mood.
Either a large scene shot integrating mountains and fields, or a close-up shot of Fujino's feet, multiple shot changes.
From that moment on, the happiness resonated harmoniously with everything on the path home, creating a psychological surge of joyful emotions. The paths and rice fields that his eyes touched were all Fujino's inner world.
Fujino's comics were very popular in the school newspaper, and her classmates praised her drawing skills.
When his classmates came to urge him to update, Fujino's pride reached its peak.
High recognition and positive feedback from the outside world build up her self-confidence, and her sense of superiority drives her to continue to devote herself to creation and chase more praises.
However, after falling from the top of the mountain to the bottom, Kyomoto's appearance took away his position at the top.
Comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the four-frame cartoons in the school newspaper, Fujino's cartoons fell behind. The "ordinaryness" of his classmates destroyed all Fujino's pride. The pride that
once had was severely damaged in an instant.
was unwilling to admit defeat, and Fujino's desire to win took over his rationality.
After that, Fujino put aside all entertainment time and devoted himself to improving his painting skills.
In order to improve his painting skills and handle the details, Fujino stayed away from his circle of friends and kept distance from his family.
She kept her eyes on the drawings on the desktop, waving the pen in her hand, leaving only the sound of the pen scratching the paper and her cold, isolated back.
Fujino is practicing hard, hoping to defeat Kyomoto and regain his original glory.
The frustrated mood props up the will to fight in the stubbornness, eager to achieve more outstanding performance in creation.
until all the support values that persisted were exhausted, proving that his tenacity finally failed to reality.
Faced with such an ending, Fujino stopped being stubborn and chose to integrate into her family and friends. Her stubbornness was thrown into the corner. She ate popsicles with her friends and listened to her sister's advice to learn karate.
No longer trapped in a room, trapped in his heart, blocked from the care and love of people around him, Fujino returned to a normal social life.
But falling behind others was always a reality that Fujino didn’t want to face, so when her class teacher asked her to deliver her graduation certificate, she panicked and didn’t want to go, rejecting the class teacher’s request.
The head teacher had no choice but to persuade her again and again, but she finally came.
Fujino saw the mountains of drawings piled up in Kyomoto's house, and heard that the strong competitor he had always regarded as his opponent turned out to be his fan.
The emotions of loss, disappointment, unwillingness, and self-destruction all took a turn for the worse at the moment I saw Kyomoto, and turned into another opposite state of mind.
Kyomoto is afraid but sincerely expresses its admiration for the idol Fujino. In the end, the four-square comics written by it follow Fujino's footsteps.
A heart jumped from the bottom of the valley to the top of the mountain. Compared with the feeling of praise from classmates, Kyomoto's words seemed to bring back all Fujino's strangled enthusiasm, and the broken heart was put back together again.
People who also like comics came together, and the two passions burst into powerful power. The comics they created together were recognized by the editor-in-chief of the publishing house.
made their first pot of money by co-creating comics.
turns love into a reward that supports the soul and material life, and a steady stream of motivation is stimulated.
They gradually work hard in familiar fields, sway their youth, and run towards the depth of their ideals.
They spend all four seasons together, one person is responsible for a section, create together, and share joys and sorrows together.
The director uses a large number of pictures to show the passage of time, extending the length of time, witnessing the figures who work hard for their dreams, and also witnessing the deep friendship between people with the same interests.
The turning point of the conflict directs the main focus to the theme of "sudden look back" expressed in the entire film.
The inseparable friendship moves to another end.
Kingmoto made a decision. She wanted to study art to improve her painting skills.
Fujino looked in disbelief when she heard the news, and her words revealed her complicated inner emotions.
But she was arrogant and did not say anything to persuade her to stay. She even said sarcastically that she would not be able to find a job after studying art.
Fujino felt a sense of accomplishment by being around Kyomoto. Kyomoto’s grid comics were considered to be of high quality by his classmates. Kyomoto’s idol was her, and the comics he created were imitating her.
Following this reasoning process that would make her feel more confident and proud, Fujino regained that sense of self-confidence.
When she is with Kyomoto, Fujino takes the initiative and is the central figure who controls everything. That dominance is also the main source of the sense of superiority she gains in getting along with Kyomoto.
On the one hand, she can make a master whom everyone praises become her fan and assistant, which reminds her that she is powerful.
On the other hand, Fujino directs everything from the leadership position, and things and the trajectory of life proceed according to her ideas.
For example, they draw comics together, and Kyomoto can only draw backgrounds. These parts require other assistants to complete, limiting Kyomoto's aura over his own.
For example, the first pot of gold you get from spending money with Jingben.
Jingben is afraid of people in society. He is so serious that he does not go to school and hides in his room to draw.
Kyomoto was initially reluctant to the consumption proposed by Fujino because he was afraid of society and did not want to meet people.
Later, Fujino persuaded him to really come out. Fujino led Kyomoto throughout the shopping and consumption process.
Kyomoto is going to school to study art, which means that Fujino's pride disappears when Kyomoto is not around.
Kyomoto no longer needs a leader.
Jingben studies art to improve her painting skills, which will pose a threat to her painting skills.
All this is far away from everything before.
The loss of the past struck again. Even though it was no longer as persistent as when I was a teenager, the boredom in my heart was not reduced by half.
The irritability in his heart had nowhere to vent. When Fujino learned of Fujino's plan, he denied it with a mocking tone.
Later, a piece of news spread about Kyomoto's misfortune, and the complete separation replaced all the cares in Fujimi.
Looking back, I suddenly wake up.
When the important person in my heart is no longer there, my heart is filled with regret and I am looking for a reason to retreat.
Fujino regrets his pursuit of spiritual contrast and his stubborn, selfish thoughts.
She imagined another world without meeting Kyomoto, so as to escape from the fact that Kyomoto was killed and create an ending for Kyomoto to escape the murder.
They have never met, nor have they drawn comics together. They have embarked on their own lives.
She followed her sister's advice to learn karate, and Kyomoto went to art school.
Jingben met a murderer at school. When the murderer was stabbing and slashing with the murder weapon, she used the karate she learned to kick the murder weapon away and subdue the murderer.
Kyomoto was not injured, and the police took away the murderer. The only accident was that she suffered a slight fracture of her foot due to excessive force. In the fantasy perspective of
, she avoided spending those creative years with Kyomoto because of her pride, and erased her selfishness to achieve a higher level of feeling in Kyomoto.
But it didn’t change the plot of wanting to meet Kyomoto, but their first meeting became Fujino saving Kyomoto.
appeared in a stunning way, leaving a good side in front of Kyomoto.
Until she returned to the door of Jingben's house again, when she opened the door, she saw the dress with her name written on it in the room.
It was one of their encounters. Jingben asked her about the signatures that were signs of their intersection.
Seeing familiar traces, the memory of what really happened overwhelmed Fujino's other possibilities in her imagination, and she felt relieved.
Fujino accepts meeting Kyomoto and accepts the past of Kyomoto’s murder.
Everything that has happened in the past does not mean that it is all a bad impression. There is no need to regret what happened. Maybe there were beautiful moments that cannot be reproduced.
When she was fantasizing, she was just regretting the bad process and the consequences she was unwilling to face, but she ignored that there had been real and sincere good things, which she ignored behind her.
The final story ends with a question and answer.
Fujino said that he didn’t like drawing because he thought it was rustic and troublesome. He gave a lot of complaints and reasons for not wanting to draw comics.
Kyomoto asked: Why is Fujino still painting?
Fujino didn’t answer, but the unswerving back figure who was immersed in painting gave the answer. Director
's silent open-ended answer leaves the audience with space to think, while also giving an answer that Jingben wants to see and hear.
Looking back at dusk, everything is in time.
