living and learning

こんにちは！ わたしはえいがとじんぐとあにめがすきです。 I am a BIG fan of horror movies, at this point I have likely seen over 100  movies in this genre. I think they can be a good thrill and explore themes and situations that are left out of other genres due to controversy, so it can be a great genre to explore subjects/situations outside of the social norm and push boundaries. I also really enjoy running! I started at a very young age running 5ks with my mom but it grew into a passion for me. I ran both track and cross country throughout parts of my high school career and ran a half-marathon to celebrate my graduation. Though I don’t watch as much anymore I am a fan of anime, specifically sports anime’s as they capture the emotions of the players so well and open up the perspectives that people have on what it may be like to play that sport if they do not.

This film was beautifully devastating. Following two siblings as they struggle to survive in the midst of war after the passing of their mother, this movie delves into the heavy themes of devastation begins war that is often forgotten. The animation and imagery used reveal to the audience the true horror of the situation these children are in and the innocence with which they view it.  A wonderful film and totally recommend it, however be prepared for how the deep themes within it.
