  1. 5cm Per Second

  2. Context/Similarities • 2007, Makoto Shinkai • Romance that provides a new lens to technology • Inspired by Miazaki and other renowned film makers but also wanted to deviate from “status quo” • Blur between reality and fantastical, whimsical imagery. Mix between Miazaki and reality (25:51-26:50) • Similar films- Industrial Revolution • The Place Promised in Our Early Days • Girl Who Leaped Through Time • Summer Wars

  3. 5cm Per Second/Differentiate • Matter-of-fact • Differs from all “stereotypical” animations because it represents the reality of life • “5 cm per second” • Lonely death/Hikkikomori phenomenon (52:21—54:00) • Not happy ending • Giving up life

  4. Bibliography • Eternal. "5 Centimeters Per Second Re-Watch: A Bittersweet Analysis of a Bittersweet Tale." Memories of Eternity. Accessed April 8, 2014. http://blog.eternicity.net/2009/01/02/5-centimeters-per-second-re-watch-a-bittersweet-analysis-of-a-bittersweet-tale/. This article explores the macro symbolism behind 5 cm per second. Mainly, it explores the idea of love and how it may consume an individuals life and could eventually lead to an eventual resignation if paired with socially and economically oppressive factors. This source explains how 5 cm per second is actually a display of reality because it shows true events rather than "fairy tale" events that the media wants to see.  • Jianne. "Film Review/Analysis: 5 Centimeters Per Second." Professional Parttime Dreamer. Last modified August 8, 2013. Accessed April 10, 2014. http://yeahitsjiannee.blogspot.com/2013/08/movie-reviewanalysis-5-centimeters-per.html. This film review of 5cm per second is more of a context based source. This source takes moments in the context of the film and relates it to real life historical moments in Japan. I am particularly interested in how 5cm per second actually relates to the 21st century problem of a lower salary for businessmen in Japan and how this phenomenon effects the lives of not only adults, but growing youth as well. • Zenith, Infinite. "Introduction." Infinite Zenith. Accessed April 8, 2014. http://infinitezenith.webs.com/5cmpersecond.htm.This source grapples with the more micro symbolic aspects of the film 5 cm per second. This source mainly focuses on each individual symbol such as: the famous cherry blossoms, the trains or even facial expressions and how these physical (more tangible) things actually play a role in the bigger meaning/ bigger picture of the film. Mainly, this source shows how different elements and symbols within the context of the movie connect to the bigger picture Makoto Shinkai tries to get across about how the oppressive nature of love paired with social or financial seperation could potentially lead to a loss of identity and maybe even resignation. •  5cm per Second. Directed by Makoto Shinkai. Bandai Entertainment, 2007. The film of my analysis.
