The movie Your Name is mainly about:
1. Youth drama with intertwined souls
The first half of the movie should be said to be a youth drama with intertwined souls.
A month before the comet that returned after a thousand years visited the earth, it was in a rural town in the deep mountains of Japan. Sanye, a female high school student, lives a melancholy life every day, and she is troubled not only by the election campaign held by her father as the mayor, but also by the ancient custom of ancestral shrine. Sanye lives in this small town and is at an age when he cares too much about the eyes of people around him, so his longing for the metropolis is getting stronger and stronger.
however, one day, I had a dream of becoming a boy. There are strange rooms and strange friends here. What appears in front of you is the streets of Tokyo. Although Sanye is confused, it makes her feel refreshed to come to the city life that she misses so much.
On the other hand, Tachibana Taki, a male high school student living in Tokyo, also had a strange dream. He became a female high school student in a remote mountain town that he had never been to. So they met each other in their dreams.
They exchanged bodies or souls, but people around them didn't notice anything different.
All kinds of embarrassing and funny things brought about by body exchange are contrasted by the surprised reactions of people around them. For example, when the man wakes up and finds that his body is a girl, he can't help scratching that part. Afterwards, the two people were ashamed to realize all kinds of absurd things that the other party had done with their own bodies, which made them even more funny and lovely.
Makoto Shinkai described the comedy and absurdity in the first half as excellent.
The first half of the movie is about humorous love stories, while the second half of the movie is about comets falling down and towns destroying.
After the man gradually adapted to the soul exchange with the woman, suddenly one day, they could no longer exchange bodies. The man can't contact the woman either, so he is eager to find the woman.
After all kinds of hardships, the man finally found the town where the woman once lived, but he was horrified to find that the place he longed for had become a disaster-forbidden area. What is even more frightening is that the male host learned through consulting the information that the female host's hometown was smashed and exploded three years ago by the popular split of comets, and the female host's family died in this disaster.
The man realized that this was the result of the interweaving of time and space, and he decided to travel through time and space and save Sanye through that mysterious ceremony (connecting people and time). So after all kinds of plans, efforts and persuasion by the male owner, the female owner and the town were finally saved.
The woman was saved, and the soul exchange never happened again. They all remember something about each other, but they just can't remember each other's names! The diaries that were originally recorded in the mobile phone have disappeared!
I can't remember the name of the other person, but I feel that the other person is the one I am looking for.
The man who took the tram accidentally met the woman in the opposite carriage, and immediately aroused their inner feelings. Fate urged them to get off the bus and run anxiously in the street, seeking each other's breath. The two met again on the steps and asked each other in unison, "What's your name?"
Even if I forget the name of the other person, the feeling of deep love is always there. After that, there was no pledge of eternal love, and there was no sky falling, but there was a Happy one? End。
