― Makoto Shinkai,
(This review might contain SPOILER)
I remember stumbling across this movie many times.....I was hesitant to give it a go! Cause, well i'm not actually a fan of relationships with an older woman.. But seeing how well recognized it was in the reviews; i just decided to give it a try!! and honestly, i really don't regret my decision!
I have to say this movie is absolutely awesome... just flawless!!
THE STORY is very unique, simple and light-heartening.. i found this plot really interesting and it had me amazed by every developpment, ..and i aslo loved it leaning a little towards reality (slice of life)
THE ART was good but not the best i've seen so far
THE SOUND was very conveiying as it managed to deliver all sorts of emotions, i especially adore the OST (Kotonoha no niwa) don't know why but it makes me freaking happy and somehow nostalgic!!
THE CHARACTERS are what i liked best in this film... i just coudn't find an unnecessary character here, they all played important roles in developpement between the two leads.. i liked the male lead especially... Cuz i found his personality very much to my liking; he is honest, staightforward, spontaneous and really interesting.. and i think that his way of thinking, the way he sees the world and the way he delivres his emotions are pretty impressive..
SO overall, i really enjoyed this flm; it was a sweet surprise, beautiful and heart warming and i recommend it to you all especially those who want something new, something quiet and simple!! :D
