the most confused i've ever felt during a film and the most moved i have ever felt afterwards
this movie is such an incredible experience that its honestly hard to sum up in words. during my first watch i was completely lost. i had no idea what was going on when there was the random cut to the okinawa trip, and the random forum intercuts that happened throughout. i was the most lost with the apple stabbing thing, but after a second watch and also a crap ton of note taking it all made sense. this movie is a nonlinear narrative, which means the events do not happen in chronological order. though confusing at first, i feel like this was the right choice for this story. honestly this movie is a very uncomfortable watch, i mean we literally are just watching a poor middle school boy get completely tormented both online and in real life by this boy who was once his close friend. thats literal nightmare fuel but it was so well done. i loved the side character of the girl, and when she ended up killing herself i genuinely cried so hard i had to pause the movie. the aesthetics of this movie feel like at time capsule of a long gone time period, i feel like im in a time machine while watching it. the cinematography is off the charts as well. the whole movie is absolutely ethereal and breathtaking. overall, this film is so much more than just an old movie made in japan, its a movie that encapsulates an era of japan that is now long gone, and now we get to see a glimpse of the lives of those who lived in it.Was this review helpful to you?
Humilhação, Cometer o mal sem uma maldade inerente e MÚSICA BOA.
Incontáveis músicas maravilhosas estão presentes neste filme, com uma trilha sonora extremamente refinada.Os sentimentos evocados nos ouvintes de Lily me recordam quando conheci 'Antihoney' e suas canções melancólicas, cuja melancolia viciante, por vezes, pode se tornar perigosa.
As 'feridas' que não cicatrizam podem, em algum momento, te engolir, elas nunca curarão totalmente, então é preciso reprimir e conviver com elas até que se transformem em uma dor crônica aceitável.
Até mesmo quem cometeu o mal carrega, de certa forma, o peso de seus atos. Isso apenas evidencia como somos conectados: ao deixarmos este mundo, não levamos conosco nossas conexões.
