Why does The Son of the Weather go to children's politics?
The story structure of the film is still very simple: a serious weather disaster has occurred in Tokyo, and if the heroine sacrifices her life as a "sunshine girl", she can drive away the rainstorm and restore sunny days. At first, the woman chose to sacrifice herself, but in the end, at the insistence of the man, the two chose to give up saving the world and live together.
In Japanese animation, the most common plot is that ordinary students are involved in a huge conspiracy or disaster. After a series of battles and struggles, they finally succeeded in regaining their original quiet life and praised the preciousness of daily life. )。 Interestingly, the theme of the film runs counter to this, which is precisely the daily impossibility. If the heroine is usually described as a symbol of daily life, it is something that needs to be guarded by daily life, but in The Son of the Weather, the heroine becomes something that is incompatible with daily life. Therefore, faced with the classic proposition that "the world is still hers" in the works of "World Department", the protagonist's answer is categorical-I need her more than the world.
The surprising thing about Son of the Weather is that, first of all, it contains strong opinions, which are the final choice of the protagonist regardless of social ethics and a lot of slogan lines-"Leave us alone!" "We won't ask for anything, so don't take anything from us." "The weather or something, just break it!" .
Isn't this the sound of those "three gods" and squatting at home? However, if we only regard it as a reflection of the status quo of the times or beautify the otaku and refuse to take social responsibility, then we have once again shot the arrow of deviation. From the left-wing perspective, we will find that The Son of the Weather not only contains a strong spirit of the times, but also is a declaratory film with a radical political stance. I think as long as it's because of different understanding.
