If you love this movie, you will most likely hate me for this review. I was absolutely sure that this was going to be one of those works of art that leaves you breathless, sitting there for minutes, maybe even an hour after it finishes, just trying to take it all in. To 'Not Helpful' voters (and you 'Helpful' voters too): Feedback greatly appreciated =)
#Hotarubi no mori e full movie english sub download movie#
If someone told me I could watch one movie before I died, I'd undoubtedly choose this one. But I'd recommend it in Japanese anyways =)ĥ cm per Second is a movie that takes a story of growing up and makes it into something that cannot be described as anything less than a masterpiece, with astounding themes, storytelling, art and sound. I've only watched the Japanese version of the movie, so I can't say anything about the quality of the English voice acting. The seiyuu also do a marvelous job of portraying the characters, their emotions and age.
However, if you don't like piano soundtracks, chances are you'll not like it, since it's mostly the piano that's used throughout the movie (I love them though, and that's what made me give it a 10). Tenmon, who's made the soundtrack to other Shinaki films, does an astounding job on the soundtrack for the movie, with piano pieces that effectively and beautifully amplifies the mood of the movie, be it melancholy, calmness or nostalgia. The only beef I have is that the characters' faces lost a bit of detail from time to time, but aside that the movie is a visual pleasure that goes beyond pretty much everything I've ever experienced. The animation quality is astounding, from the detail in backgrounds to the astounding ligthing effects and camera angles that help bring the mood of the scenes to a level different from mostly anything else. They're characters you'll love, feel sad with, and you'll wish for them to live happily. The emotions are protrayed in an incredibly beautiful and realistic way how they portray the love between Akari and Takaki, how they portray the girl who has a crush on Tohno during his high school years, Kanae Sumida, and finally, how they portray their development from children to adults all makes them characters you'll place your heart with. We see how he develops through these stages of life, and how it all relates to his childhood friend and love, Akari Shinohara. The character we follow through the movie is Takaki Tohno, and we get to see how he looks on the events that unfold as a child, a teenager and finally, and adult. Though they're not necessarily very obvious throughout the movie, the final scene symbolizes these themes, and what the main characters decided on in the end. go of an unreachable past, and taking control of one's own life. It's underlying themes are beautifully incorporated into the story about growing up, letting The movie tells of a love that's slowly torn apart because the lovers move further away, both in heart and home. Throogh three small stories, or episodes as they're called, we're told the tale of how they grow up and farther away from each other. The story ends with Hotaru accepting her pain and moving on with her life.From Makoto Shinkai (Voices of a Distant Star, The Place Promised in Our Early Days) comes 5 Centimetes per Second, a movie that tells the story of two childhood friends in love, and how they try to keep their relationship going through hardships that life throws at them.
