"I don't cut my body to die"
I noticed this movie only had one review so i thought i had to write one.If you want an adjective to qualify "Kotoko", withering is the one. Whenever you're ready or not to watch a movie this moving, you definitely should. Honesty when i started it i didn't really know what to expect, but as time went by and as the movie slowly unfolded i started to realize that nothing could've prepared me for that.
"Kotoko" isn't a movie you forget, it stays deeply engraved in your soul.
I'm not even going to talk about the graphics, the only silence scenes and the director being a character.
Watching this kind of movie once in a while really hits you hard and makes you feel so little next to struggles like kotokos'.
From the beggining you immediately discover a new world, a world where only Kotoko's child matters . Every single person, you, me, the passer-by, the neighbour and Kotoko herself, is only a little piece in this world that spends their time fulfilling the empty holes of her own life. Kotoko is a woman who wants to live despite her sickness, but her battles become harder to fight as she only wishes for a thing : to take care of her son which is impossible because she slowly becomes dangerous for him.
Kotoko sees the world in double, everything in her head is a mess.. except when she starts singing, her two eyes merge together to offer an unique vision of herself, the world and everything that is around her.
I watched this movie almost a year ago and i still often think about it. Although there are numerous scenes of violence, this movie teaches you that the worst part of healing is hitting rock bottom, and sometimes you bring people down with you too.
I don't think my words are enough to describe and tell how much this movie means to me and how much it can change you as a person ; unfortunately "Kotoko" isn't talked about so not a lot of people are aware of this masterpiece but if you have been thinking about watching it, don't think twice, go ahead Kotoko's waiting for you.

Anyone hating on this show is a dirty liar.
Probably the best pondphuwin series. I love everything about it : the storyline, the melancolic vibes, the acting, the plaintive lines and fights. The sound track is really great, we don't often watch thai series with an english soundtrack. I feel like gmmtv did really great with this one. Honestly NLMG stands out from most thai bls because this one isn't all rainbows and sunshine. It depicts the life of a sad and lonely and rich teenager who only knew love from his mom, but then slowly develop feelings for a "lower class" boy he met as his family situation worsen. No corny scenes, only pure feelings and emotions. Pond and Phuwin's acting is really great, they did well to portray their emotions. I feel like this type of show suits them better than cheesy ones (me and thee im looking at you).Also the side story is great, not too little and not too much.
Anyways, it's a must-watch if you like withering series.

a masterpiece
No glaze but this is one of the best movie I've ever watched in my whole existence.Heartbreaking , withering !
A movie where the only sin committed by two people is to love. There is no way to be hopeful is they're not free, if nobody else than them is around.
Beautiful and exquisite movie, full of emotions, sadness , anger and more importantly love. Why can't God let two people love each other freely? Why can't they speak their mind and walk the same way straight people do without being judged?
Why can't a guy be open about his feelings to God the same way a straight person can be? Why can' they hope for support when they love as much as what was seen as "a normal person".
Nothing and nobody should hinder anyone from loving. Love was the best thing that happened to humanity, and it will forever be.
Although the movie ends with (depending on your opinion) what seems to be a happy ending, it still represents real-life situations, where people living in strict/religious countries can't even acknowledge their own feelings.
Your name engraved herein is a movie inspired by its director's real life, someone who decided to speak up and denounce the society he used to live in.
I'm glad someone got to tell a story a lot of voices couldnt dare to think. The fact that it was based on the director's real life love made everything better but still ached our hearts.
This movie is worth thousands of rewatches, it will never get old. Who doesn't love depressing movies?
