i'd like to hear what you think after you see it.
Incredible! My new favorite Japanese film. I would say I like it even better than Grave of the Fireflies--I love grave of the fireflies but at the same time depressing films are always emotional and so it's kind of cheating. It's much more challenging to create an inspiring story that isn't an 'inspirational story about overcoming adversity'. It was very human. Very genuine and inspirational.
I couldn't tell at the end during the credits if that was a timelapse of 10 years or just the same day. Maybe I was looking too hard but I thought I saw them older walk by. Difficult to tell with animation.
My only dissapointment was that the beginning seemed a wee bit slow.
All in all: the names, places and dates change but people are people. An exuisite story irregardless of culture. If I had a million dollars and rights I would love to shoot it.
