A true feature film masterpiece from Makoto Shinkai, he has successfully combined his artistic flair for visual & musical production - the portrayal of the everyday society + music / background sounds that actually lift & cement the intensity of each scene, with a storyline close to his own heart, close to many of our hearts - of fated love, lost love, high school life, the longing for a faraway land, harnessing science fiction & the subtle powers of the spiritual realm.
Best remembered is one particular climax, so powerful, the coming together of the story, the musical orchestra, the stunning visuals, a truly glorious moment.
