Understand, decompose, reconstruct. It is said that the anime column is the writer's introduction, evaluation and interpretation of various anime, which does not represent the public view, nor does it necessarily represent the view of the original author of the anime.

In the animated films produced by Makoto Shinkai, distance is always a special factor. Maybe distance has a special meaning to him? The distance of geography, the distance of identity, the distance of time and space, may have set the tone as early as when he made his first animated film.
In 2000, director Makoto Shinkai worked while producing his own personal animated film, which is the "Voice of the Stars" mentioned in this article, and later resigned to devote himself to the production.
The film frames a sci-fi future where humans and alien civilizations meet and clash, and the two protagonists who have feelings for each other, the girl is selected as the first member to meet the alien power. As a result, the two gradually drifted away.
Liter and Kamiko
Because of the space interval, it takes a long time for the two to receive each other's messages, and as Kameko follows the fleet away from Earth, it will take more than eight years for the final messages to be received. Not only space, but also time has become an interval between two people.
Sending interface
However, the love between the two did not break off, the distant Kameko fought hard, and the Earth's Rose finally became a member of the new fleet for the people she liked, and also received a message from Kameko, a fighter eight years ago.
Kamiko
Sometimes I can't help but wonder, how does the estrangement between people arise? The two people sitting opposite each other may think of the opposite thing, but strangers thousands of miles away can coincide; friends or lovers who are originally very compatible will unconsciously drift apart, but there are also thoughts that cannot be stopped regardless of time and space life and death. What has changed, and what has allowed something to remain the same?
