The film reminds me of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. It's also a teenage, slice of life, romance with supernatural/sci-fi elements. In Your Name, a teenage boy and girl begin mysteriously swapping bodies at random. They end up using this power to help each other, leaving messages on each other's bodies Memento style to communicate. The girl has confidence issues but the guy finds it easy to be confident in her body. The boy can't talk to girls (well one girl) but the girl finds this easy in his body. It's an interesting idea that gets dropped 30 minutes in for a weirdly disconnected plot.
The art design was an issue for me. The film opens with a TV anime style opening, with a bland J-pop song and visuals straight out of any generic

This accomplishes some small improvements in each character's lives even though their personalities are still one- dimensional. Suddenly, the girl dies in an unforeseen meteor crash. We see this happen but the next 20 minutes of the movie are the boy figuring this out. This is despite the fact that he knew the meteor crash was going to happen and it's frustrating that it takes him so long. Nothing happens in these 20 minutes to establish any personality or connection with any characters. It felt like wasted time and I was confused why they abandoned their most interesting plot device. The boy then realises, because of blatant foreshadowing earlier in the film, that he can time travel to tell the girl about the meteor and he does that. Then she tries to get people out of her town but it doesn't work. But then we find out that it did work. We're also told that the boy and the girl are in love. A few other things happen, then it ends.
Although I love the animation process I'm not interested in watching most anime. It's not that most of them are generic, that's the case with every type of media from Hollywood films to video games. It's the pornographic power fantasy aspect in so many of them that makes them feel immature and amateurish. Once again, in Your Name a personality-less guy and a personality-less girl with bouncy boobs get together. There's no humanity in this. It's just vacuous but pretty plot events happening
The sounds and music in this film are very realistic, and to the point. There is not anything abstract or out of place, and everything is very appropriate. The
In my opinion, I feel that this movie, compared to today’s standards, is poor quality. From the 1980’s to the current time, the Hollywood industries and other movie producers have made astronomical improvements with every film released, and ever since
The struggle to find one's identity is a universal theme that is especially prevalent in Chaim Potok's novel, My Name Is Asher Lev. As an Orthodox Jew, Asher's gift for art is looked upon very unfavorably. Despite the disapproval of his community and father and the pain his art causes those around him, he pursues his passion and must find a way to reconcile the conflict between his religious identity and his individual identity.
However, beside the good animation and the beautiful scenes Miyazaki creates, the film lacks in character development. Most of the characters doesn’t really serve any real purpose. They seem to be very predictable and that
think there was any problem with it I liked it. Director did an amazing job, overall I loved this
As a whole, I think that the creators of the film had a good grasp on what they wanted to portray to the audience since everything was rather simple to follow along and understand where the creator was coming from.
Lots of music, fast cuts, fantastic cinematography and superb sets and costumes make it the lively tale it was meant to be. These features also make the film somewhat cartoon-like with a lot of heightened realism. Don't expect to see British people prancing around in tights when you rent this one. Luhrmann creates a world where gun-toting youths sport Hawaiian shirts and beachfront brawls are an everyday event.
My middle name is Faye, which means loyalty or belief. My middle name is named after my paternal grandmother who has this middle name too! I also have two cousins named after my grandma! I am happy with this name because it goes well with my first name and it came from a close relative. When I am older, and have kids, I plan on passing this name onto my first girl. I hope they will continue passing it on! I love the middle name Faye and what the meaning is.
Karas, my last name suddenly appeared on the board I was frozen at the time as if I was one of the best known author’s in the world. I looked at my teacher’s big brown eyes and happiness shown from her small face. “This is an excellent example to show you how to write a good attention getter,” she proudly announced to the class.
Authors and writers write in many different types of genres, but that does not necessarily mean that all of them stand out in those genres. Studies show that less than one percent of submitted works are actually published. This is why pen names are so commonly used by authors and writers in literature. Pen names conceal authors’ identities, helping them avoid bias, giving them the opportunity to analyze their success and to produce more work as desired. Pen names are a great resort to authors and writers in need of help.
This movie did most things right. The art is absoloutly beautiful, many times during the movie i was taken aback at how good it looks. the characters are great. the friends of the main characters are very funny and likeable, i wish we would have gotten more time with them. when it comes to the unbelieveable premis, the characters reactions mostly stay grounded.
found that the characters were flat, It wasn’t catching, and it was predictable. I know
Ryuji Miyajima's editing does a good job of keeping the pace, without doing anything extraordinary, in another "rule" of the Japanese indie. However, the film is highly realistic and Yutaka Yamazaki's (Koreeda's regular) cinematography definitely adds to that trait as it presents everyday life in Japan. Furthermore, the way he portrays the passing of time through the children's growth is definitely elaborate. Michiaki Kato and Nakanishi Toshihiro's music is definitely on spot with its baroque-like style, particularly at the scenes where it emphasizes the comic
What’s in a name? Names define us as individuals. We as people have a first name, a last name, sometimes a middle name, and also perhaps some nicknames used by different people. Names are important, but not just for people. In the Bible, there are dozens of different names used for God throughout the Scriptures. Many people might wonder why God needs so many names. I believe one of the primary reasons why God has so many names throughout Scripture is because they have to do with His nature and character. I feel that each of God’s and Jesus’ names in the Bible emphasizes a particular facet of Their character. As we understand how each of God’s names reveals another aspect of His character in the Bible, the more we will learn about Him. Let’s look at some names that were used to identify Jesus in the New Testament.
