Suzume, the new movie makoto shinkai, has just been released in theaters. The Japanese director is leaving a legacy to take into account thanks to works such as The Garden of Words, 5 cm per second, Viaje a Agartha and Your Name, among others. Today we recommend what we think is one of his best works: The weather with you (Tenki no Ko / Weathering with you).
That an ordinary person falls in love with one who hides secrets is common, although meeting a girl capable of manipulating the weather is not something we see every day. It is the story of a student named Hotaka Morishimawho is forced to trade a quiet life in the village for the stress of Tokyo.
Fate is capricious and decides that Morishima meets Akino Amano, the girl on whom a melodrama wrapped in fantasy revolves that we will hardly forget. Actually, reading these lines can make you think directly of Your Name, whose shadow is very long and shares many elements with El tiempo contigo. But you already know that Shinkai likes challenges; The debate about which is better has always been on the table.
why watch it
- If Your Name won us over with a love story in which distance and space-time were the main problem, here we find ourselves with something completely different: a close relationship, in which the obstacles lie in everything that surrounds it.
- As usual in the works of Makoto Shinkai, the film aptly touches on several thought-provoking themes.
- The script captivates from start to finish and always has an ace up its sleeve to surprise us. The residue it leaves is similar to that of Your Name.
- The animation is fantastic and the sound section is not far behind. Time with you has many virtues, and the audiovisual set is brilliant.
