Are there elves in the rain? Are you satisfied with the answer given by the son of weather?
Because of Your Name, Makoto Shinkai's reputation in Japanese movies is almost equal to that of Miyazaki Hayao. No matter your name or the son of the weather, Makoto Shinkai always likes to take Tokyo as the core of the story. Tokyo has a long history and is full of fashion. What happened here is normal. In Makoto Shinkai's story, Tokyo's youth, love and growth are all colored, and colors change rapidly in different weather. Light and shadow are full of moisture, and the effect of mutual melting makes people feel very comfortable.
16-year-old high school students came to Tokyo by boat alone with a copy of The Catcher in the Rye. However, everything is not as beautiful as he imagined, and what greeted him was a continuous rainstorm. He doesn't have much money, he can't afford a hotel, and even eating is a problem. He urgently needs to find a job to make a living. The romance in Tokyo is beyond the reach of a poor child. Everything comes at a price, except the free rain on him.
The rain in Tokyo is very strange, sometimes like a lake suddenly falling in the sky. At this time, there is a lot of rain, no lines, no particles, just like many clouds falling directly and splashing on the ground. There are fish in the rain in Tokyo. This is a kind of fish made of water. It swims in the rain and in the crevices of the city. Sometimes it is blue. It will deliberately swim around in front of the children, will go with the rain without nostalgia, and will not leave a trace.
A cumulonimbus cloud has the water volume of a lake, so it is normal to have any kind of creatures here, and the world is far more complicated and wonderful than we thought. If someone can talk to the gods in the clouds, will these gods tear a hole in the clouds to let the sun in and turn rainy days into sunny days? Some people really have such abilities. This person is not Van Gogh, but a girl that Van Gogh fell in love with. Her name is Cai Yang.
Yangcai, like others, lives at the bottom of Tokyo society. They are not adults yet. For various reasons, they are unable or unwilling to live with their parents. They will encounter all kinds of dangers in Tokyo, and your life will not be safe because of your kindness. You will make a big mistake inadvertently, make a mistake inadvertently, and lose your mind inadvertently.
The acquaintance between Van Gogh and Cai Yang was very accidental and normal. He happened to buy something at the convenience store to fill his stomach. She happened to be a waitress in that shop. Maybe it's because he eats so badly. She gave him a hamburger that day. He suddenly seems to have tasted the most delicious thing in the world. A little help in times of crisis became his unforgettable experience.
There will be hamburgers and love. From this point of view, Tokyo is still very generous to this foreign boy. From the helplessness of coming here to suddenly meeting a beautiful girl one day. That kind of beauty is fireworks in the night. In Makoto Shinkai's works, every firework is carefully designed. Even every flower has a different color. Fireworks are big and small, some are long-lasting and some are short-lived. When fireworks flashed over Tokyo, the neon lights in the city were a little dim.
Sunshine, clouds, rainstorms, rainbows and beautiful natural scenery appear in Makoto Shinkai's films in turn. However, all this is not given by God selflessly, but obtained through some kind of exchange. At first, Van Gogh didn't know how much Cai Yang would pay to complete this weather change. When he knows, will Cai Yang run in the street with him?
