Finally going for a change? Makoto Shinkai: Tired of writing love stories

accepting Looper During the interview, Xin Haicheng said that he wanted to downplay the romantic relationship in the movie, so he turned the hero into a chair.

Makoto Shinkai said that actually he was getting tired of making normal "boy meets girl" movies: "I feel like in 'Your Name,' I've done everything I could possibly do in 'boy meets girl'. 'Everything that can be done in the story, 'will they, will they meet'."

"Originally I wanted to make the story a movie about Suzuka traveling with another girl. Moving to a more sisterly romance," but his producers told him to stick to a love story that was more consistent with his previous work. So while his audience still loves the story, he's tired of it.

On the other hand, Xin Haicheng said that he does not care much about LGBTQ In terms of description, he is just telling a human story with universal themes. He said that if the heroine was male, or non-binary, the story of Bud's Journey would have the same effect: "It doesn't have to be a male/female background; it's about human beings overcoming odds. "

Looper also reported that Shinkai told Japanese media last year that a producer thought it was "too early" to make a road trip movie about two women. the
