Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Jessie This was an amazing movie. It was also a sad movie. A very very very sad movie. It was the ending that got me. A mother had lost her arm and had shards of glass on half of her body. She was with her child. The mother died and the kid was trying to get the bugs away from her body. I hate his movie. It was a very good movie. Don't watch this movie unless you want to be sad.

bxd109 Now as there are many japanese or non-japanese movies about the world war two, most of them are focused on the affected areas by the bombs. But this one was wasn't entirely focused on that. This movie talks about the story of a woman (Suzu) from Hiroshima, who gets married and then moves away. The story follows her as she lives her daily life in a corner of this world that is full of war and despair and how the things get worse day by day. It talks about the struggle that these people have to go through, and all the pain they are to endure. After watching this movie now i can say that i might understand a little bit more the feelings of the people and what they had to go through at that time. Of course, we can never know how much it hurt to live like that, but we could at least imagine. Imagine not being able to hold the hand of someone whom you love, imagine not being able to hear the one you love or see them again, or not being able to hug them even though you want to. After losing someone important to her and also losing her hand she had to go through much pain, she couldn't draw any longer and what for? Humans. Yes, because of some "humans" she had to let go of many things, and this is only one person, now imagine millions of people, each one of them losing at least one thing that cannot be compensated. That's harsh. And also unacceptable. This movie made me realize again how filthy we humans are. The most affectionate moment in the entire movie for me was when that little girl who lost her mother got happy when she saw Suzu, imagine that little child who had to go through something like that, it's not fair. But we can also see that Suzu losing her hand wasn't entirely meaningless. Sometimes some things happen that we might never know the good in them. And this was kind of one of those things. The little girl might have never approached Suzu if she hadn't lost her arm and reminded her of her mother and she would probably die out there. But she got saved and it was like god has sent them back the little girl that they had lost. It was a very good movie in general and that art was also nice and I really loved it, i also don't mind watching it again.

jeanbiche Another typical Japanese anime movie that subjects the viewer into every tiny, boring aspects of the country's everyday life and culture, as is the case with virtually every other animated movie that leaves it's borders. However this is heavily overshadowed by the huge dose of stomach turning sentimentality of the stereo-typical separated lovers story. Waste a couple of hours watching paint dry instead, it's about as interesting and original as this one!

yeolit This is one of the few movies with a very deep meaning for me, and I find it hard to write a review without the actual plot being described. Thus, Spoiler Alert! For a start, Suzu is sort of an air-headed girl who loves to draw, and drew very well. The story progresses through her childhood days and with her childhood friend and family, before quickly going into the main plot, which is centered around the period of World War 2, when Japan was one of the main parties in the War. Around that time, Suzu was married abruptly to someone she met once in her childhood in another village.From there, the story quickly evolves into a series of changes that Suzu had to handle, which are mostly foreign to her: adapting to her husband's family, bomb shelters, frequent shelling, wartime horrors and so on. The film details how distraught she is at times, and the strength she displayed as she struggled through those challenges, which is heart-wrenching and heartwarming at the same time.What I find this film so distinctly from most other films is how realistic some of the scenes are, and how optimistic people can be. I did not cross-reference to history to ascertain how true some of the scenes were, but the crux is what happened to Suzu and how it was presented.This is a funny, sad, historic, enlightening and somber film that deserves to be watched by everyone, to remind people of the horror of war, and how justice isn't always so clear.At the end of the war, Suzu mentioned something incredible, something along the lines of "Is this how we react to violence? So is this how it is? Are we bowing down to violence?!" in anguish, while indicating that they suffered so much but Japan still lost the war in the end.I felt it was kind of ironic, given how Japan was one to join the war and invaded other countries but then I realized what this movie is called: In the Corner of This World. This means that the entire movie was from the POV from a civilian who might not know all the details, given how the Imperialist government was at that time.Then I realized, this movie is gold.
