What the hell is "five centimeters per second"?

Beauty is non-negotiable, because its brilliance completely exceeds any effort worthy of it, and because no one can give it exactly the same beauty. So beauty can only destroy itself.

-Baudrillard

The title has two meanings: beauty is dying, and beauty is dying. One of its great charms is the "lost beauty" at a speed of 5 cm per second. This is one of the reasons why a 2007 film has been remembered by many people so far. Many people's comments on 5 cm per second are that the picture is beautiful, but they don't quite understand what the film is about. The author analyzes the logic of the story and the behavior of the characters from the perspective of the mirror and the dialogue between the characters in 5 cm per second.

The first word cherry blossom copy

The copy of cherry blossom copy should refer to the story of cherry blossom. The first sentence begins with cherry blossoms and ends with cherry blossoms. At the beginning of the film, Shinohara akari said to Toono takaki: I heard that the speed is 5cm per second. In the subsequent parting, she expressed her wish: "Gui Shujun, if only we could watch cherry blossoms together next year." This consensus appears many times in the whole movie. After they entered different junior high schools, they began to write to each other: the summer letter said, "I also like the sultry weather in Tokyo, the asphalt road that seems to be melting, and the tall buildings that are hazy in the heat wave ... The last time we met should be at the graduation ceremony of the primary school ... By the way, Uncle Gui, I wonder if you still remember me?" ; Qiu Xin: "It's completely autumn, and the red leaves here are beautiful. I cut my hair a while ago, so short that my ears can be exposed. Even if I see you, I may not recognize me. " Winter letter: "It has snowed several times here ... it hasn't started snowing in Tokyo yet, has it?" After moving here, I often watch the weather forecast in Tokyo. In the communication, Guishu is thinking about how to get to Tochigi because of his transfer. He asked the students of the football club, "Have you two been to Tochigi? How do you get there? It's too far to take the Shinkansen. " Although it's a long way, your tree has decided to go to Tochigi. He planned the route on the road map bought in the bookstore. "This time, I was surprised by your decision to transfer ... it seems a little far this time, and it is no longer the distance to meet each other suddenly by tram. I hope ... I hope you can be healthy and happy. " In this short period of 3 minutes and 30 seconds, the communication between Guishu and Li Ming spanned summer, autumn and winter. Although Li Ming has left Tokyo, it is obvious that Li Ming misses your tree in a few words. In particular, "suddenly something happened, and it is no longer a distance to meet by tram." I hope ... I hope you can be healthy and happy in Guishu ",and Li Ming becomes sad at the thought of the increase of distance, but I really want to see Guishu, but because of strict family education, I can't. I didn't say it after all, and finally I just said I hope you can be healthy and happy in Guishu. When watching this clip, many people often only pay attention to the exquisite picture, but do not carefully understand the emotional expression and development of their communication: Gui Shu and Li Ming have been dating for a year since they were in junior high school, and they have also changed. Although at this time, the two people's understanding of this change stayed at "Kagoshima is farther away from Tochigi, and it is no longer the distance to meet each other suddenly by tram." The implication is that Li Ming thinks that even if your tree goes to Kagoshima, he can still be satisfied. For your tree, because it will be farther away from Li Ming after turning to Kagoshima, your tree decided to go to Tochigi to see Li Ming before turning. Your tree dated Li Ming on March 4th. At the same time, the birds flying in the distance in the movie also hinted that your tree was impatient to meet Li Ming. I am very happy about my appointment in Li Ming on March 4th. I haven't seen you for a year, and I always feel a little nervous. There is a big cherry tree near my home. In spring, the cherry blossoms there also fall at a speed of 5 cm per second. "Li Ming has never forgotten the agreement with Gui Shujun: watch cherry blossoms together and watch cherry blossoms fall at a speed of 5 cm per second. At the beginning of the journey, the nervous and excited mood is covered by the heavy snow all over the sky, and your helpless and uneasy tree can only bear all this alone and feel the passage of time silently. At this time, Guishu began to recall the encounter and acquaintance with Li Ming: Li Ming transferred to Guishu's class, and both of them liked to go to the library, put crabs and potato chips together, discuss the books they had just read, the kittens on the way to school, erase the gossip on the blackboard, give up the graduation ceremony, and failed to comfort Li Ming's sense of powerlessness on the phone. The letter for Li Ming was blown away by the strong wind, and ................................................... flashed scene after scene. The passage of time and the change of relationship made the audience across the screen feel the strong loneliness and powerlessness of your tree. On the other hand, Gui Shu is confused and contradictory about the front: I don't know if Li Ming is still in the waiting room, but I hope Li Ming is there. I can't bear to wait for him all the time.
