The title tells us that each time lost is more distance apart physically and emotionally, and that at the final moment where the cherry blossom cannot cover any distance anymore per unit of time is the moment where the memory is-not actually lost-but stays just that: a memory. However, while memories themselves live on, the reality they used to be gradually differ from how the memories are, much like how falling blossoms slowly become a fragment of the beauty of where they used to be.
#Quote film 5cm movie
The movie is not only one about distance and time, but of the events and the memories associated with them.Ĭherry blossoms are almost only beautiful when they are on trees (when the relationship is intact), and are almost equally as beautiful when they're falling (because memories are almost equally as beautiful as the real thing). The act of forgetting his lost love is a slow process for Takaki (the male protagonist), which is what the title is actually alluding to. However, Makoto Shinkai always injects the notion that distance(space) and time are intertwined (VoaDS is a perfect example) and that there are events that span them.Īt the ending of 5 Centimeters per Second, the girl was obviously a vision, as the distance between them cannot be closed physically anymore and the time lost cannot be reclaimed. When viewing Makoto Shinkai's works, distance always plays a large factor. In the image they’re both on a distant planet that isįar away, so he’s dreaming that he’s with her even though she’s in a Takaki, the male character, had dreams of this girl he liked who was Personally, I believed that it was a throwback to Voices of a Distant Star, but it-in a way-answers your question indirectly. In an interview of Makoto Shinkai found here, he answers a question regarding the plant at the beginning of Episode 2.
