I just don't see what is great about this movie.

My apologies for being such a dickhead.

I gave it another chance and... Wow. I guess I was in an off mood that day. I don't know.

Seems like I'm going to have to re-watch pretty much every short and Memories Magnetic Rose now.

I can't believe the guy who made this is only 30... Would expect a much older guy to make something like this.

Symbolism people. The movie tells a wonderful, yet simple and touching tale of an old man's past, using unique and stunning animation and beautiful music to capture the emotion the old man feels. (that's the short version)

THERE. If you don't find it touching you're trying to hard.

I loved it! It was sad, yet happy (?)

It made me teary.

Its a great tale of an old man's life in a house that he lived in. He rebuilds it time and time again when the water rises. Going through each of the houses, it shows a past of each house.

From the first to the last house, its the past to the present.

this is one of the most beautiful short movies i've ever watched. it's very simple but perfectly executed. the entire concept is really appealing to me, as the story is so relevant to life

it's so beautiful and filled with nostalgy

It's a heartwarming story, also a bit moving as well. I liked it.

Won an academy award for a reason, lol.

I was just expecting to much from it. The simplicity of it just surprised me...

I guess the reviewer did tell us the truth. This movie isn't for everyone.

And I guess you have to relate to fully enjoy the life of the old man in what I call a masterpiece.

Word...

It was amazing. If there is something that should be called a masterpiece - this is the thing.

Excellent animation, innovative style, wonderful music, and one of the more touching stories I've ever watched. And in just 12 minutes. I can't write any adjective to make it justice.

One of my favorite anime ever.

i bumped it to a 10. it's impossible to put more emotion into a short film. i can't even begin to describe how well everything fits together (animation, sound, general dynamics...)

plays my feelings like an instrument

its so nostalgic... it moved me.... while watching i remembered the movie i watched on national geographic channel that talks about global warming... haha (weird me) oh well i remember it because in some time places here on earth start to sink... or something like that............................ gah! im so weird!

Brilliant.

I honestly cannot think of anything that is wrong with this film. It is a masterpiece that everyone should watch. Anyone that doesn't like it does not deserve to bask in the glow of fine art such as this.

An easy 10.

short but powerfull :D

Great story, nice art, and amazing sounds. It's good to watch animes like this once in a while.

i thought it was very sweet

the art was superb!

great short. The best short I've seen in a good while.

Awww, I liked that. It reminded me of the Snowman. You know, that Christmas movie by Raymond Briggs. Same style and storytelling.

However to give it a 10 is a bit much. Obviously something that short has a high chance of getting everything perfect. You don't start at 10 then mark something down for everything it does wrong. It's a 7 or 8 from me.
