I watched 'Toki o kakeru shoujo' on Sunday. For short, it's known as 'TokiKake', and in English it's 'The Girl Who Leapt Through Time'. I've come across this movie quite some time ago, a friend showed me this website of someone who blogged about this movie.
After watching this movie, this is what I have to say:
I never really like science fiction because they seldom have good stories or even good endings. It always left me feeling empty after watching them. But 'TokiKake' was quite alright, at least it still has some meaning to the whole story, and there's even a story line. So that's where the "slice of life" comes in. This movie kinda sets me thinking as I'm one who always think too much. Like I would think what's gonna happen in the future or maybe being bothered too much by what happened in the past. Eventually I missed out the fun that I should have focused NOW. Present is what that matters the most. 'Romance'... It's very important to me these days. There's only a little bit of romance in the movie, but it's more about cherishing someone in the present; cherish every single moment you have together kind of meaning. There's also friendships and relationships with other people, those moments (makoto and friends) are totally enjoyable to watch.
Well, the ending... Reminds me of 'Spirited Away', except one is from the past and the other is from the future.
This somehow makes me wonder too. Makoto got sorethroat for singing karaoke for about 10 hours because she kept travelling back in time and do it over and over again. That means her whole person actually was being transported back in time. Chiaki was from the future, and he said he'll be waiting for her in the future (or something like that), then does that mean... Chiaki is actually much younger than Makoto?
Chiaki's time seemed far away, like distant future. Time travel is like a big technology, I doubt it could be discovered or a dream to be realised in the near future.
Though I prefer a more definite ending, this incident actually motivated Makoto, give her more drive in life. The wonderful thing is that none of the others got their memories related to Chiaki being erased away.
乐肥'的求生欲望
今天上午，送'乐肥'到野生动物所净身，'乐肥'是个刚烈性子。临走时干嚎着表示不满。我略带内疚地哄它出门，十分理解一个这小'帅哥'在将要被迫放弃性别时的痛苦和彷徨。
下午'乐肥'被送回家时，与离家时那个生猛的斗士相比，判若两猫，蹒跚的步态加上呆滞的大眼睛让人看了辛酸。由于麻药还没过劲，吃不动饼干，得吃流食，我和敦敦奔出家门，去买猫罐头，乐肥只吃了两口，就没劲了。恶心呕吐加上尿失禁对爱干净的乐肥是万分难堪的事。乐肥感觉差极，觉得自己要死了，它忍着剧痛爬上楼来找我，对着我发出濒死的哀嚎，一定是想让我看到他不行了，好能及时救它。看'乐肥' 今天的惨象，我很后悔，我要是早点下决心给它做手术，它也不至于遭受今天这么大的磨难。
我轻摸着'乐肥'的背，安慰它，宝贝忍一忍，做人难，做男人难，做男猫是难上加难啊。
One of my bestfriend's wife is driving me crazy with insane question. I keep my cool but it feels like the Spanish Inquisition. Though this person seems to be paranoid on many occassions I feel my friend will keep her in check. -- Side note-- I proposed to Danielle December 31 2006 and it was one of the outstanding moments of my life. Watching her lose control like that in pure joy was worth it.
