Perfectly illustrates the agony of the families separated by the borders in a world, in my view, that wasn't supposed to have borders. Time has stopped for them, as the world was quickly changing. I wish it was a bit longer so it gave us a bit of a context in the beginning, but the last 10 minutes or so kinda clarified everything.
Watched it a couple of years back... Didn't get it at all! Just traumatized him for a couple of months! I thought it had a cool title but didn't understand the point of it.
I've seen 8/15, but I need to watch Departures, Rashomon and Crouching tiger ASAP. Thanks for the list ;)
True that! Thanks for the advice :D Specially Departure every time I see the title I feel guilty but I can't seem to set my mood right. I think I'll leave Crounching Tiger hidden dragon for when I get sick because, somehow, I get in the mood for those types of movies when I'm sick XD
As for Rashomon, I need to set my mood right for watching Mifune Toshiro movies!!
14 min trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9w36uvzzxo
Much different vibe than the short 1.5min one
I like that tone more though, but it makes the title really our of place. What's that in the end as if they all die? Oh and the white ppl in there take some getting used to. In any case I hope it gets subbed ;)
This movie had a simple story, but it's display of parental-children affection left me with many emotions. Neither the parents, nor the children are portrayed as perfect. For instance I found both siblings very selfish, because their world taught them so. Even so, neither are heartless. Supporting roles added a nice touch to the overall theme. The acting wasn't outstanding, but chill.
