In the afternoon, Shiraishi Mai and Amamiya Shiori watched the newly released animated movie "Wolf's Children Rain and Snow".
The general plot is that a female college student, Hana, fell in love with a werewolf who lived in a human form, and gave birth to a pair of siblings.
Sister Xue is lively and curious, while younger brother Yu is frail and timid. The two children possess the qualities of both humans and wolves, and can freely transform between human and wolf forms. In order to hide this fact, a family of four quietly lived a stable life in a corner of the city until the werewolf, the head of the family, suddenly died during a hunting.
Hua, who was devastated by the loss of her husband, struggled to live with her two young children in the city. In order to save living costs and allow her children to freely choose to be humans or wolves in the future, she decided to move to the countryside where the environment is harsh but rich in nature.
The two children grew up gradually. Xue, who was originally lively and wild, liked to go to school and get along with girls of the same age. She gradually abandoned her wild nature and integrated into human society. The timid and fearful Yu was often bullied by his classmates and was afraid of going to school. He skipped classes and went to the zoo in the countryside and to pass the time in the forest. He gradually fell in love with nature, became strong, and slowly regained his wild nature.
In the end, Yu decided to return to nature as a wolf and "protect" the forest. Snow chose to become a human, abandoning her identity as a wolf.
After begging to dissuade her to no avail, Hua respects Yu's decision and lets him return to the mountains.
Simply put, it is a story about selfless maternal love and identity.
In his distant memories, Amamiya vaguely remembered that he had watched this movie directed by Mamoru Hosoda. It’s just that I was a teenager at the time, and I burst into tears when I watched it. Now at this age, I have experienced a lot, and I am not very touched.
"The flowers are so pitiful!" After the movie ended and the lights came on, Mai Shiraishi's eyes were filled with tears.
Amamiya Shiori handed her a tissue, "Humph, silly woman-" his tone was a little disdainful.
"Huh?" Shiraishi Mai was surprised by Amamiya Shiori's reaction. Throughout the whole movie, Amamiya Shiori seemed to only laugh at the part where the young naughty boy Yuki was lively and playful. The rest of the time, there were no emotional fluctuations. In contrast, Shiraishi Mai laughs and cries sometimes, and is not too emotional.
"It is indeed pitiful, but also really stupid. There are too many stupid women like this in Japan." Amamiya Sori responded to the look Shiraishi Mai gave her.
"Are you stupid? I think it's great. It's so hard to raise two children alone." Wiping away her tears, the corners of Mai Shiraishi's eyes were still red.
"Then you raised a white-eyed wolf, right?" Amamiya Shiori chuckled.
Mai Shiraishi was speechless for a moment.
"Mother's love is great, it's true. But she is also really stupid. She is stupid in blindly believing in love and entrusting herself to an unstable partner. She is also stupid in raising a white-eyed wolf and being persuaded by a ridiculous reason. If you let him go, you have worked hard for more than ten years, and in the end, half of your hard work has been wasted." Amamiya Sugawara seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, taking an animated movie seriously.
"Knowing that the person you fall in love with is a werewolf, you still have to give up your studies to marry him and live a hard life; a ridiculous 'protecting the forest' can also be a reason to abandon the grace of upbringing. Does the forest need the protection of a wolf? A wolf can Can afforestation still increase species richness? Just for a so-called identity, he abandoned his responsibilities as a child. It is really appropriate to call him a white-eyed wolf. What's even more ridiculous is that this stupid woman actually agreed to it. "Yu Yu. Gong Zhi was furious, feeling like he hated iron for not being able to become steel.
She has been dependent on a stupid woman for most of her life who made her hate iron. When she was young, she believed in love blindly. As soon as the child was born, the man ran away and was still not sober. After more than ten years of searching, finally, Then he gave up and returned to Tokyo to settle down. However, he died of illness within two years of living a stable life.
There are many stupid women in Japan. When they were in school, they were easily deceived into bed by men's sweet talk, and after they got married, they were easily cheated out of a lot of money by cowherds. Many people blindly give up their studies, careers, and even families for love. In the end, they never find true love and lose their financial support. How much does Sakura Girl need love? For so many years, Amamiya Shiori has always had this question in his mind.
Shiraishi Mai looked at Amamiya Shiori who was mumbling to herself, but did not interrupt her tirade.
During the movie screening, she glanced at Amamiya Shiori next to her from time to time, because Amamiya's family situation was similar to that of the protagonist's family in the movie. I thought that Amamiya Sōri might have some sympathetic feelings, but I didn't expect that it was just the opposite.
Shiraishi was also surprised at first. Amamiya Shiori's words "There are too many stupid women like this in Japan" made her immediately understand Amamiya's mood.
She knows Amamiya's family situation and has met Amamiya's mother. She was a woman whose haggard expression could not hide her beauty. I heard Amamiya complain that she was born with love, trapped by love, and her head was as rigid as a wooden fish.
"Sorry." Shiraishi Mai apologized in her heart. Hana's experience in the movie must have brought back bad memories of Amamiya Shiori, which made her so excited.
"Eh? What are you apologizing for?" Amamiya Shiori was caught off guard by Shiraishi's apology, "I'm not criticizing you, I'm just talking nonsense, don't worry."
Shiraishi raised the armrest between the seats, closed the distance between the two, and gave Amamiya Souri a hug.
Most of the audience in the screening room had already left, with only some young couples lingering in their seats, immersed in their own world.
Shiraishi Mai let Amamiya Sori rest her head on her shoulder, and she also rested her head on Amamiya Sori's shoulder.
"I'm sorry..." She closed her eyes and whispered softly into Amamiya's ear.
Amamiya Sori was a little confused by this move. She was just criticizing the plot of the movie. To put it bluntly, she was just being a troll, the kind of person who would criticize and criticize someone if she posted a movie review on a certain forum. Thinking of Bai Shi suddenly comforted him.
"Well..." The air conditioner in the cinema was turned on at full speed. Now the two of them hugged each other and didn't feel hot, but rather warm.
Amamiya Soi thought that what he just said was indeed inappropriate.
"I should be the one who's sorry." Amamiya Shiori's voice was waxy, "It's a little cynical. This is a good movie, but there are some parts that I don't like."
"It's okay," Shiraishi Mai said softly, caressing Amamiya's back, "Next time, just pick a comedy and watch it."
"Well, the kind that makes the whole family happy."
"Okay, happy family!" Mai Shiraishi gently blew the butterfly in Amamiya Sori's ear.
