すずめのまり means "close the door". As we all know, the Japanese always say "OK" before going out and then close the door, which is like a ceremony. However, "Xing ってきます" not only has the meaning of "going out", but also contains the desire of "returning".

In the movie, Zhong Ya repeats the cycle of "close the door, return it, and start again". After closing the door, Zhong Ya rushes out of the disaster and the forgotten land, and grows again and again.

At the end of the movie, Lingya met her childhood self in eternal life and told her that "I am Lingya's tomorrow". At this point, the mystery was finally revealed. The "mother" who once redeemed herself is actually her future self.

This closed-loop logic of time and space, combined with the Japanese homonym "Forward" of "Zhong Ya", further sublimates the theme of this film-the disaster is sad, but the dead are gone, and the living should cheer up and move on.

Film Review of Journey to the Bell Bud

A Journey to the Bell Bud is regarded as Makoto Shinkai's masterpiece, with a distinctive "author" mark. From Makoto Shinkai's not prolific early works, we can see that the director has obvious preference for the visual images such as trams, railway tracks, the sea and the sky, which not only stems from the living environment of Makoto Shinkai as a teenager, but also because the vastness, beauty and profundity of nature left a deep impression in the hearts of lonely teenagers, and also because they metaphorically refer to the distance, the future and the pursuit of beautiful things, which they yearned for but did not get.

This tonality of longing for the distance and the future makes Makoto Shinkai's works full of youthful feeling. With the aesthetic love of boys and girls as the main line, supplemented by a large number of monologues and dialogues that directly express the inner feelings of the characters, as well as melodious and straightforward soundtracks, the emotional power of the characters is further rendered and strengthened.
