Weathering with You: Difference between revisions

Line 41:

*[[The Legend of Chekhov]]: One of Hodaka and Natsumi's interviewees on the sunshine girl is a self-proclaimed psychic who tells them about how altering the weather {{spoiler| comes with the price of getting spirited away.}} Later on, Keisuke and Natsumi visit Koenji Hikawa Shrine, where the elderly priest tells them about a legend of weather-altering shrine maidens and {{spoiler| how they always ended up getting sacrificed.}}

*[[Man Bites Man]]: {{spoiler| Hodaka bites Keisuke's arm to get free so he can continue his quest to rescue Hina.}}

*[[Missing Trailer Scene]]: One of the trailers has a shot of Hina pushing a trolley near Odaiba's Tokyo Teleport Station. What actually happens in that area in the film is different.

*[[Moral Myopia]]: After {{spoiler| Hina's sacrifice}}, one of the shots shows the shady nightclub owner with what appear to be his wife and child. They show no signs of distress at being around him, which suggests he treats them well, and only makes him more scummy for what he doesn't seem to have any problems with doing for work.

*[[The Needs of the Many]]: As the weather gets worse than ever, Keisuke wonders aloud if {{spoiler| letting Hina be sacrificed is a worthwhile price to pay in exchange for millions getting normal weather back.}} One sign of how bad things have gotten is that Natsumi, who normally calls him out on his foolishness, doesn't say anything this time.

*[[Never Trust a Trailer]]:

**Some trailers made it seem like Hodaka and Hina would get into trouble with criminals. The line "It's time to grow up, young man" is juxtaposed with a gunshot, creating the appearance of a criminal threatening or even attacking Hodaka. In the end, while criminals do appear, they're not the [[Big Bad]], and the line has a very different context: {{spoiler| Keisuke telling Hodaka to face the music and go home rather than continue trying to run away.}}

**One trailer plays "Grand Escape" over the sky clearing montage, whereas in the film proper "Celebration" is what plays in that scene, and "Grand Escape" is reserved for {{spoiler| Hodaka rescuing Hina from the place above the clouds.}}

*[[Orange-Blue Contrast]]: After Hina clears the sky at Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, one subsequent shot shows both the orange-red Tokyo Tower and the blue-lit NTT Docomo Yoyogi Building.

*[[Real Place Background]]: Hodaka's island home is apparently Kozushima. Various places all around Tokyo also feature; the derelict Yoyogi Kaikan Building central to the plot is near Yoyogi Station, or at least it was before it was demolished in real life. The nearest train station to Hina's home is Tabata Station. Keisuke stays near Kagurazaka Station. The first sky clearing job takes place in Odaiba, while the one for the fireworks festival takes place on the Sky Deck of Roppongi Hills Mori Tower. Parts of Kabuki-cho in Shinjuku and Ikebukuro in Toshima are also prominently featured.
