Kimi na No wa. / Your Name. (no spoilers)
4 years ago
Don't do it first. Do it better.
Reviewing movies and such isn't my thing and I don't intend to branch into it, but I'm overloaded with emotion and I have to share this.
As I promised myself I would, I rewarded myself for this week at work by getting some food and watching 2016's Kimi na No wa., aka Your Name. Finished a little bit ago. And I have to say...I knew very little about it other than its basic premise, but a lot of people talked about it when it came out. I heard it won like a bunch of awards.
It deserved...all of them.
Let me put it this way. While I did rewatch a couple parts I liked as I was watching, at one point I checked how far I was actually in because I felt like I must be at least halfway by now with all that's happened and how thoroughly I've been pulled in. I wasn't even a third of the way through. It felt like I'd watched a movie's worth of content in only about half an hour.
I might have just been hyped up but no amount of hype can get me this emotionally invested in a story and its characters unless it's this good.
Sometimes, not even hype is needed for something to be good. The things most worthy of it...don't need it.
Ten and a half out of ten, would pay you to watch, I'm in the afterglow of an emotional orgasm, etc.
It's...beautiful.
