![]() ![]() There aren’t any major innovative narrative devices to be seen here, but frankly, it doesn’t need it. Each character is developed and presented so beautifully and in an astoundingly realistic manner. Because truthfully, its major strengths lie in the terrific, fleshed-out portrayal of a mother-children relationship. I initially wrote on how I wished there were a more expansive focus on the romantic relationship that began the tale – but over time, I’ve found that I simply care less about this gripe. While I initially had some of the same issues with Wolf Children that I found with The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, it certainly is the one film that has sit with me the best over time. With the help of a friend, I opted toward Wolf Children, his latest, and Summer Wars. Of course, I’m hoping for the latter! But nevertheless, I really miss writing and I hope to get back into the swing of things really, really soon.Īnyway, without further ado, here’s some of the highlights ‘n’ milestones from this past month.Īfter being quite smitten with the loveliness of Mamoru Hosoda’s The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (which I watched last month), I decided to check out some more of his stuff. Once again, the reason is because during that time I’ll be either searching frantically for a job or will be working my butt off at my new job while I finish my degree. I do plan on writing something near the end of next month for my blog’s one-year anniversary(!), but for the most part I’m just going to be sticking to these monthly posts. I’m still just going to leave my least favorite at just one (don’t want too much negativity here), but instead of letting y’all know my one favorite film from the past month, I’ll increase it to a TOP FIVE! Excitement. To reiterate, I’m going to be a teeny bit absent from my blog, probably for another month or two. I’ll write more at length on some particular film-watching highlights that I accomplished and recurring themes that happened to pop up throughout March. Since I’ve been on somewhat of a hiatus from writing, I’ve decided to make this monthly post a little bit longer. But all rewarding in their own special ways (well, almost all, but I’ll get to that in a few paragraphs). And since having no money and being assigned a 15-20 page assignment to do over spring break has forced me indoors already, I’ve got quite a lot of fun stuff watched! Some great, some good, some… not so good. Yet somehow, in between all the hustle and bustle of “being an adult”, I’ve managed to slip in quite a few films. I’m starting to feel that almost-post-grad noose begin to tighten. Continued abuse of our services will cause your IP address to be blocked indefinitely.Hello folks! It’s been a while.
