Xin Haicheng: "Journey to Bell Bud" was originally planned to be a lesbian romance film
2023-04-22
According to foreign media Looper's exclusive news, Makoto Shinkai said in an interview that "Journey to Bell Bud" almost became a lesbian romance film.
Makoto Shinkai is widely associated with romance films, and his films feature lovers separated by time or distance. "Journey to the Bell Bud" is no exception, but compared to other movies, this kind of plot is played down a lot. This is largely due to the fact that the hero is a three-legged stool most of the time.
But part of turning the hero into a chair is Shinkai's response to being forced to have a hero. Originally, Xin Haicheng envisioned "The Journey of Suzuya" as a love story between two women.
Shinkai has previously spoken to members of the Japanese media about the change, saying a producer believes it is "too early" for the Japanese market to accept a romance between two women.
