(The Boy and the Heron/How do you live?)
Hayao Miyazaki's sketch of The Boy and the heron/How do you live (last movie of Miyazaki or not, I love how long they make this movie and a lot of effort of the animators, the story is simple but somehow being simple makes it more interesting/intriguing, and better..) [I'm just sharing opinions Haters, Please Do Not Attack Me]
The Boy and the Heron is a visually mesmerizing journey that seamlessly combines fantasy and reality. I was deeply moved by the way the film explores the complexities of grief, growth, and acceptance through Mahito. The animation was breathtaking, with every frame feeling like a piece of art, and the serene yet powerful presence of the heron symbolized the quiet wisdom that Mahito needed to navigate his tumultuous emotions. What I found most captivating was how the story unfolded in a dreamlike, almost surreal way, where each element had a deeper meaning, and nothing was truly as it seemed. It had a magical quality that invited me to think about life in a different light, to ponder the importance of connections, both seen and unseen. The film managed to strike a perfect balance between wonder and melancholy, with moments of joy woven together with moments of reflection. The sound design and score were equally striking, complementing the ethereal visuals and emotional depth of the story. As I followed the Mahito's journey, I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of empathy for him, as his encounter with the heron became more than just a fantastical experience—it became a transformative one, leading him to a new understanding of himself and his place in the world. (Just an appreciation post, I'm not starting war...)
