BBC专门写了一篇文章来分析《你的名字》火爆的深层原因,我们来看看。
1
It is a body-swapping fantasy
身体互换的奇幻故事
Your Name, is a body-swapping fantasy with two teenagers at its heart.
《你的名字》是一个身体互换的奇幻故事,围绕着两个青少年展开。
Based on a novel, it tells the story of Mitsuha, a female high school student in a rural Japanese town, and Taki, a male high school student in central Tokyo.影片根据小说改编而成,讲述了一个住在日本乡间小镇的女高中生宫水三叶和一个住在东京中心的男生立花泷之间的故事。
Mitsuha starts dreaming of herself as a young man. Taki also begins seeing himself through the eyes of a female student in the countryside.
宫水三叶做了一个自己变成男孩子的梦。立花泷也开始从一个小镇女高中生的眼里看到自己。
The rest of the movie explores their body-swap and the journey they go on involves time travel as well as disastrous deadly comets.
影片剩下的部分讲述了他们身体互换、进入时空旅行和灾难性的彗星造访情节。

It captures the melancholy of adolescent dreaming
捕捉了青少年的忧郁之梦
It touches on universal themes such as coming of age, adolescence and the struggle to assert your identity in a confusing world.
影片涉及的都是普遍性主题,比如成年、青春期和在这个混乱的世界里寻找自我的挣扎等。
The line between dreams and reality is one that caught the director's imagination. In Your Namethe characters wake up from their dreams as each other and the line between reality and dreams constantly blurs.
梦境和现实之间的界限也触发了导演的想象力。在《你的名字》中,男女主角从彼此的梦中醒来,现实和梦境间的界限在影片中常常变得模糊。
This aspect of the film, Shinkai says, was influenced by a famous Japanese poem. It reads:
新海诚说这一灵感来源是一首有名的和歌:
I wonder if he appeared in my dream because I fell asleep thinking of him.
I wouldn't have woken up if I had known it was a dream.
“梦里相逢人不见,若知是梦何须醒。”
(原文:思ひつつ寝ればや人の见えつらむ梦と知りせば覚めざらましを。)
That melancholy moment of bleary wakefulness after a dream is the sensation Shinkai appears to have been reaching for in this film.
梦醒后朦胧状态下的忧郁情感,是新海成想要在这部影片中表达的。

It is a reminder of the earthquake that changed a nation
让人想起那场改变一个国家的地震
It also draws upon the experience of Japan in the wake of the deadly 2011 earthquake, the most powerful to have ever hit Japan, and which claimed 16,000 lives. Widely referred to as 3.11, Shinkai said that it changed not just him but the whole of Japanese society.新海诚说,2011年3月11日的大地震不仅仅改变了他的生活,更是对整个日本社会产生了重大影响。这部影片的创作背景也同样基于2011年发生在日本史无前例的大地震。那场地震夺去了16000个生命。
The film itself is also overshadowed by the threat of a natural disaster. Shinkai said he used the film to reflect a sentiment that many, including himself, shared - that a disaster could strike at any moment.
这部电影本身也被一个自然灾害的威胁所笼罩。新海诚说他用电影反映了很多人,包括他自己共有的情感——灾难随时都可能降临。
"You will never know when Tokyo could become like this." the character Taki says at one point.
“你永远不知道东京什么时候会变成这样。” 男主角立花泷在影片某情节中说。
"It takes five years to digest the shocking experience and sublimate to such a scale of art." One Twitter user Yoshinaga Tastuki reflected.
“需要五年才能从这种可怕的经历中走出,并把它升华到这种形式的艺术。”一推特用户Yoshinaga Tastuki评论说。

Fans are making pilgrimages to its stunning locations
粉丝追捧影片中的美丽场景
The film has also been appreciated for its beautiful graphics, often modelled after real-life locations.
这部电影也因其美丽的画面备受推崇,故事发生的地点往往仿照现实生活中的场景。
"I finally watched Your Name. The story, acting and music were all good but most of all I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the images. Each cut was amazing." said one user on Twitter.
“我终于看了《你的名字》。故事,配音和音乐都很好,但最重要的是,我被美丽的画面震撼了。每一帧画面都让人惊叹。”一个网友在推特上说。
Other users posted pictures of real-life locations that the film modelled after, with fans descending upon locations such as Shinkai's home town in Nagano Prefecture, the Gifu prefecture and even Tokyo.
还有很多网友贴出了电影中出现的现实场景的图片,电影中曾以这些地点作为场景原型。这些粉丝们专门探访了新海诚的家乡长野县、岐阜州甚至东京的一些地方。
And here's what looks like the steps of the Suga Shrine in real life. According to this Twitter user, around 20 people were seen taking pictures at the Suga Shrine, a location featured in the movie.
这是现实生活中须贺神社阶梯的样子。这位推特网友说,大约20个人在须贺神社拍照,这是电影中曾出现的场景。
And the film's audience was not limited to only Japan. "Each detail of the film was painstakingly thought out and executed with such precision and passion," Canadian anime fan Ismael Ramos told the BBC. "It was a perfect balance of art, music and storytelling."
影片的观众不仅来自日本。“影片中的每个细节都是经过深思熟虑,用精准和热情拍摄而成的。”一位加拿大的动画迷Ismael Ramos对BBC记者说:“这部影片很好地平衡了绘画、音乐和叙事。”

Hope for the next generation of mainstream Japanese animation
对下一代日本主流动画充满希望
For the film to be such a success, it had to transcend boundaries and appeal to audiences wider than young people and anime fans.
一部影片想要获得成功,必须打破界限并吸引除年轻人和动画迷之外的观众。
As such, Shinkai has been hailed by some as being the next Hayao Miyazaki, whose name is almost synonymous with anime and has been credited with bringing Japanese animation to a broad global audience.
就这一点来说,新海诚也被称作下一个宫崎骏。宫崎骏的名字几乎和日本动画齐名,他也是把日本动画传播到世界各地的人。
Others had a slightly different view. "I think Miyazaki and Shinkai actually have very distinct styles, though they are equally as powerful," said Mr Ramos.
但是其他人持有不同的观点。Ramos先生说:“我认为宫崎骏和新海诚的风格完全不同,尽管他们都有同等的震撼力。”
"What they do have in common is the ability to take audiences through a journey and experience, which I believe is the ultimate goal of any artist."
“我认为他们的相同点是有能力把观众带入一次旅程和经历中,我认为这是任何一位艺术家的终极目标。”
