2024-01-28 14:45:51 +0000 UTCWarning ⚠️ Triggers of sappiness ahead. ☺️. This movie is deep in cultural symbolism that westerners like myself will probably not fully understand & only can speak to what I know. I know how much you enjoy “Sparkle”. To go as far as to make a cover song tells me the level of your passion. You now have a better understand of how much a role this song plays within the story. This was by far, the best content I’ve ever seen from your channel. From the creative direction, the detailed animation, the audio, the OST & the voice acting. It really took you on an emotional journey. I can sum up my take of Your Name in 4 words: That Love Transcends Time.

2024-01-28 14:00:10 +0000 UTCOne of the most beautiful movies ever, and so emotionally heavy that your chest hurts throughout the whole final part. The "I love you" writing is probably one of its most striking moments. And, as incomplete as it may seem at first, the ending perfectly fits the movie, and it honestly didn't need any additional scene after that last sentence. Their tale ended with that scene, and at the same time a new tale began; and this blurring of beginnings and endings embraces the whole concept of the story, which does not head in a clear-cut, straight direction, but instead plays over and over again on the concept of time, fate and destiny. A few things worth pointing out: - The scene at 16:30: kuchikamizake is actually a real thing, and Shinkai (the director) invited on set a real shrine maiden. They then went on to film the real traditional ritual dance, and then turned that video into an animated scene. That is the main reason why the animation of that part is so precise and accurate. Shinkai wanted that dance to be as faithful to the original (or, at least, to one of its variants) as possible. - 23:25: this is one of the weirdest translations I've ever found for this part. To keep it brief: in Japanese there are many ways to say "I". The most common ones are Watashi (neutral pronoun, but used slightly more often by girls), Watakushi (neutral pronuon, but very formal or, in certain cases, ancient), Boku and Ore (which are both mainly male pronouns). Each person uses one of those pronouns when talking, but there's no clear way to differentiate between one and another, since they mean the exact same thing. What Mitsuha did was simply cycle through all of those pronouns until she found the one Taki uses for himself. - 1:07:30 and 1:22:22: this represents the Red String of Fate. This is a very cultural symbol which, in Japanese and Chinese mythology, represents a string - or thread - of fate, which links two people across space and time, forever. The whole movie relies heavily on this symbol: it's the thread Mitsuha gave Taki, which ended up linking the two of them together; it's the thread Taki always carries with him, which is what helped him go back in time to save Mitsuha. It's also a nice touch the fact that Mitsuha's family works with threads. - 1:48:01: Radwimps released both an English and a Japanese versions of this song, actually. Usually it's the Japanese version that plays by default, but for some reason in this case the site you're using chose to go with the English version. Also, Radwimps worked on every single track of the movie. They worked alongside Shinkai every step of the way so that they could compose the OST to perfectly fit the scene it was intended for.
