Haven’t seen this film since I was a child. It stabs you deeper every time you watch it.
The respectful and delicate illustration of the injustices faced by those that suffer from Hansen disease, accompanied by the beautiful and loving relationship that builds between the three leads just shape the story to be a real emotionally impactful narrative.
It only gets better once you notice the elegant composition and fine lighting that carve a down-to-earth look that both cements the story and theme into the everyday, and elevates it to a feeling that only a strong, resonant memory could give you. It conveys the idea that a common day like another can change a person’s life forever, as Tokue fundamentally raises Sentarô and Wakana to a deeper appreciation of life and of empathy.
