5 Centimetres Per Second (Makoto Shinkai, 2007).

Review store:

This film is a visual traet. And, same in terms of audio as well. Both remains true to the mood of the film. It makes you feel so much of emotions. Makes you love. Makes you a lovelier person. Restores faith in relationships. Well, on a side note, relationships suck. I still think so. But this film makes you love the delicacies of loving. A must watch. Beautiful animation. Hats off! I will start watching more anime films from now on.

The idea:
1. The shapes are made in such a way that ifthe ones on the L and the ones on the R were complete, i.e. without the missing rectangular parts, they would join together to form a heart. Thus, the shapes represent the characters in the film. The pink shape with the rectangular gaps represents the guy. The pink shape with rectangular extentions is Akari. The not-pink shape represents the other girl.
2. On the topmost shape structure, is represented the first part of the story. Where the guy and Akari meet and tell (mentally) each other that they love each other but yet moves on towards physical separation. Hence the shapes are overlapping. The L shape going further R. And the R shape going further L. They head their own ways. But yet it is not shown what happens to them finally. Hence they are still sticking to each other.
3. Then the guy comes across the other girl. The not pink shape. Who has a gap in her heart like the guy, but the guy doesn't have feelings for her. He can't fill the gap. Because he craves for another woman, not this other girl. Hence they both face a direction where the guy faces blankness, and the girl faces the guy. They are close, but they won't be together.
4. Now it is shown, in the third part of the story that the guy and the first girl, akira, goes on with their lives. Cannot get their love. Their desired ones. A weird separation comes between them as they have moved on. The shape structure is symbolic (and is subconsciously inspired by the train passing scene where the guy and Akari cross each other. It is lain that they don't come together. A separation happens.


The devil (in the details):
1. The three shape structures are placed at an uniform gap of 5 units.
2. The text size was 15 units. A multiple of 5.
3. The gap between (The devil) characters=225 units (a multiple of 5).
4. The color code of the pink shapes= fd96ce (B=99%). The color code of the not-pink shape= 0a0608 (B=4% {99+5=104, 104-100=4}).
5. The opacity of the shapes have been reduced to 50% (5*10). So that the first structure could be made possible.
