Goddamn this movie was incredible. Some of the coolest camera work and shot composition I’ve seen in a while, with the two ‘windows’ in the car scenes and the 360° turning shots from inside of houses. Along with the sprawling long shots of the bridge and the low-res ceiling shots from the corner of rooms; All of it was fantastic and inventive.

The jellyfish imagery was extremely well done and the connection it shared with both Mamoru and Yûji was intriguing to say the least as well. The surreal scenes within that room with Mamoru And Shin’ichirô were phenomenal and I enjoyed them very much. I just really loved this film and it deeply resonated with me. Kiyoshi Kurosawa never fails to disappoint and this film is no exception.

Kiyoshi Kurosawa has always been one of the best at depicting disillusion and alienation in my opinion. This may be his most metaphor dependent film, and I think it really helps in emphasizing the confusion the older generation has with the disillusioned youth.

The jellyfish in Bright Future is one of the best symbols I've seen in a film, due to the fact that it has the capacity to represent a multitude of different things that all make sense. Is it the youth? The protagonist? The future? Dreams? All have valid reasons to be connected to the jellyfish, as the all have similar traits, especially the capacity to cause danger.

Overall, I think this is one of Kiyoshi's most overlooked films, and it deserves more attention for it's incredible symbolism and emotion.
