#25 : Miss Hokusai





Dedication + Imagination = Sensation

I once read a snippet of a review for this movie, saying that unless one was Japanese, you would miss a lot of the nuance in this movie.

Maybe it did. I still enjoyed it.



Art being treated as legends in this town provide some clever moments of narration, and there's a very "True artists can see how people's imagination would power their fears and hopes" meaning I took from it.

The concept that people's relationship with a piece of art could manifest itself into their reality was very cool.

It's another Japanese animated story that's about someone simply living their life, simple as it is, and not a story with a climax or rising or falling action. I like these stories a lot, just seeing someone's life be different than yours without world ending catastrophe (though those work too) is nice.

    It's carried by Lupita, because the narrative doesn't have the strongest punch to really get across its themes.
