In "Weathering with You", a city was flooded to save one person. Is it a tragedy or a comedy?
Adults choose the world, brave teenagers choose love. There are many things that love can do, such as hugging you in this already crazy world.
This passage is exactly what the movie "Weathering with You" is about. Fangao made a choice with Yang Lai in the world. He chose to let Yang Lai return without hesitation and chose love. Flooding a city in order to save one person, is this a tragedy or a comedy? I thought that under the romantic expression technique, this story is full of warmth and healing, and it is still a comedy.
A disaster requires the sacrifice of one person. The final outcome is either that the sacrificer is unwilling and forced to sacrifice himself, or the sacrificer is determined to sacrifice himself. Disasters are eliminated, and even more so when the disaster is eliminated after the sacrificer sacrifices himself, and finally he returns to the world again, achieving a happy ending. As viewers, we may not even realize it. Subconsciously, we are very satisfied with this ending. We even express regrets and feelings for the sacrificer, and there are some legitimate voices... But In the film "Weathering With You" directed by Makoto Shinkai, we can once again reflect on ourselves and realize the equality of every life in the world.
The movie "Weathering With You" tells the story of Hodaka, a young man who ran away from home and came to Tokyo. When he failed to find a job and was living on the streets, he met the "100% sunny girl" Yorai who also worked hard to live in Tokyo. I met and collaborated with her, and started working on a commission to bring a moment of sunshine to Tokyo, which had been raining for months. From the foreshadowing that appeared several times in the film since ancient times, all witches who change the natural weather have a very sad fate. As expected, when Yorai realizes the meaning of being a "harame", both Hodaka and Yorai When he fell in love with Yang Lai in the company, Yang Lai disappeared. In order to make the weather clear, Yang Lai chose "sacrifice"...
In Fangao, he overcame many obstacles to find Yang Lai. At that time, everyone in Tokyo smiled at the clear sky. This ending was so touching and satisfying. But unexpectedly, director Makoto Shinkai arranged Yorai's return. Hodaka brought Yorai back to the mortal world from the world of gods. The clear sky immediately started to rain heavily. Finally, a few years later, he was After graduation, Hodaka, who was sent home by the police, reunited with Yorai, who had lost her identity as a "harem girl". They were on a rainy day in Tokyo. At this moment, Tokyo was gradually becoming a sea city in the continuous rainy days. The whole city was flooded for the sake of one person. Many people fell into this idea after seeing this ending.
Let us carefully consider what an old man said about the weather witch in the film: The weather is a natural mood, and it is impossible to infer whether the weather is normal or abnormal based on human beings' adaptability. At the end, a former resident of Tokyo said that Tokyo was a sea three hundred years ago, and the frequent rains this time are just the natural law of nature trying to regain the original appearance of the land. Therefore, in other words, the sin of the city's flooding cannot be solely attributed to an individual life like us. This is just the "kidnapping" of our human thoughts by the "god of nature"!
The natural disasters faced by human beings are by no means expected to sacrifice their lives to save them for no reason, but to try to choose to accept them. The behavior of "Sacrificing one's own family to protect everyone" is indeed commendable, but all of us are players in the face of disasters. Only by truly uniting together and facing it bravely is the best choice for us to deal with sudden disasters!
I still think "Weathering With You" is a comedy. It allows us to see the youth of 16 years old, the unreasonableness and the precious love.
