The famous Japanese animation director Hosoda Shou is famous for his works such as “Girls in Time and Space” and “Summer Battle”. In 2018, he brought his own new long-form work, The Future of the Future, which described the works of the family theme. After the release in Japan, he encountered Waterloo and the evaluation was all down
And a while ago, the Blu-ray release of “Future of the Future”, the Chinese audience, also have the opportunity to appreciate this work.What is wrong with
“The Future of the Future”? (Micro spoiler).
Fresh picture, Hosoda’s consistent style.
“Future of the Future” is indeed a production-oriented work, compared to the animated version of “I want to eat your pancreas”, which is similar to the previous emotional card, the clear picture is clearer and sharper, and keeps The style of the game of Hosoda
Like the “Girls in Time and Space”, when depicting characters, there is no need for extra shadows. “It’s very flat, very hand-painted.”
In this style, with the realistic background and vivid colors, it brings out a childlike taste, but it does not deviate from the reality, which is completely different from Miyazaki’s fairy tale style. The painting style is more “small and fresh”, and it can be clearly perceived that this is a realistic subject
The protagonist is full of taste, but the protagonist is a bear child.
After the completion of the movie, the author has to admit that this is a full-fledged work, such as a small protagonist who sees the same age child riding a bicycle without an auxiliary wheel, but he carries the auxiliary wheel and his male The child’s natural kind of unyielding heart, and determined to learn the bicycle clips accompanied by his father, etc., the details of the processes that occur during the growth journey, are very good, let the author think of childhood memories, really warm People’s heart
The title of the film is “Future of the Future”, the first “Future” refers to the future meaning, and the second “Future” refers to the name of our little hero, the sister of the 4-year-old Xiaojun “Future “That is, the title means the little hero. Our little protagonist is a full-fledged “bear child”. To put it bluntly, it is very capricious. If you don’t get what you want, you will be on the ground. Wow, you will cry and play rogue. The sister who was born later is better than his own, so he even picks up the toy. I want to go to the baby’s sister’s face – the current child is terrible
It is said that Hosoda insisted on giving this work to his 2-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son. It seems that his life sentiment is also the source of inspiration for this work. However, Hosoda seems to have not dealt with what he wants to express. He just shows through the time and space that the bear child sees the future world in the adult perspective, and does not simply start from the perspective of a child, so the growing part of the bear child. It is not so fluent as illustrated in the imagination, it seems a bit awkward
The plot connection through time and space is not smooth enough.
Because the “girl who travels through time and space” is famous for Hosoda, playing “crossing” is earlier than everyone, and it should be better to play, but this time “diving.” As mentioned earlier, the growth of the protagonist It is connected by fragments that pass through time and space, but the connection of these fragments is a bit awkward. The beginning of the “crossing” is actually a pet dog at home, the pet dog becomes a person, talking, will remind you of the fairy tale taste of Ghibli’s animation works, but it does not appear in this work. Suitable;.
The younger sister of the “future” who is now in a hurry makes you doubt whether the time and space setting of this work is flawed. If the parents see the future sister and find that the sister in the baby carriage is missing, how can I explain it? But such a work does not seem to be like your name. “There is logic in this way. Xiaojun can not only see the future sister, but even the mother’s childhood. His own waywardness may be to inherit the mother’s character. These expressions are no problem, but they do not reflect Xiaojun. After growing through an event, but in the end, in the persuasion of the future sister, “suddenly grown up.” The overall idea is good, but the handling in the details is not round enough
Some people think that the ability of Shibata’s own script is not particularly strong. There are other scriptwriters participating in the script, “Girls in Time and Space” and “Summer Battle”, and this “Future of the Future” He personally fought, but highlighted that he was not enough in the control of the plot, so that the whole script was not so smooth and natural, so it would appear, “the bear child has an attack, it has passed through” the plot
The voice of “Shi Xia” on Bai Shi Meng Ge
This is also the part of many viewers. The voice of Shiraishi’s song is “too”. It is not a seiyuu, but an entertainer. Although the sound line she used is indeed the voice of a little boy, it seems that her voice is not very suitable. Not only the author, but many Douban viewers also spit out the voice-over drama. “The audience had to endure this strange dubbing and watch the full movie. The author can almost feel the mood of the audience who scored low scores after reading.”
The idea is good, but it is not polished enough. The story of
“Future of the Future” is quite personal, so it is easy to bring back the parents who are educating their children, or the parents who have already raised their children, but the feeling of “adult” in the perspective is always Looking at the child’s crying from the perspective of an adult, and not from the child’s perspective. The idea of crossing is quite interesting, but the part of the connection and reaction in the growth of the protagonist is not enough. Therefore, this work can be said to be a commemorative work of Hosoda for children. It is not difficult for people who have experienced the things he has experienced. Read the mystery that happens between crossings
