Destiny does really exist.

a short clip but feels like a long film with the way they showed us from the minute it played until its last second. But I think this would eat more even with a 90-minute film only, as the story was already clear and on point.

Destiny does really exist.

Dette ser nesten ut som en trailer. Har mye av de samme elementene som i Your Name, so mgir mening da det var den neste store filmen Makoto Shinkai ga ut.

Dette er definitivt potensiale til å bli en av Makoto Shinkai's all-time great filmer, men jeg tviler på at han går tilbake til denne dessverre.

made me almost want to study and that's a bigger impact than most movies could have on me.
