kiminonawalove: The nameless grief… (It is no secret that Kimi No Na Wa includes an attempt to come to terms with the tsunami which struck Japan a few years ago. Few realise however how many iconic images are lifted directly…) (Japanese film in many ways expresses deep undercurrents of Japanese thought; the aftermath of the horrific atomic detonations remained deep in the psyche of Japanese films, with Godzilla and countless other keiju destroying its cities time and again on screen). (But Kimi no na wa says something different; the helplessness we feel in the face of nature; the horrific sight of those things that men have made brought low and destroyed). (So while it is a great romantic comedy; and has magical elements; and is stupidly cute and stuff… Your Name is also a film about the aftermath of the largest natural disaster to hit Japan in many years. It is more powerful for it) -- source link
