Your name by Makoto Shinkai

Here I am to write a small review on an animated film that impressed  me, surely you will have heard of it, is titled "Your Name".

The 2016 film is written and produced by Makoto Shinkai (5 cm per second, The Garden of Words).

The Japanese title is Kimi no na wa.

The story takes place in two different places, Tokyo and a small country in the Japanese countryside. The protagonists are two teenagers, one male and one female, Taku, him, Mitsuha her.

Taki is a student from Tokyo who is divided between a part time job as  well as Mitsuha, the daughter of a village mayor, who wants another  kind of life, a citizen, freer and less monotonous.

The girl expresses this desire and things seem to come true. Taki and Mitsuha at night a few times a week exchange bodies and lives.

And when he wakes up in her body, he laughs in the audience, touching his breasts in embarrassment.

The  two guys linked by the red thread of destiny, a non-casual quotation,  given that red is the ribbon that binds the girl's hair and which will  have a non-marginal role, in the movie they  communicate via text messages.

931/5000

 

Exchanging  bodies and lives are both initially embarrassed and difficult, creating  havoc among family members and friends who can no longer understand  their new behavior, so to help you decide to communicate with each other  through messages, lassciandosi directions, suggestions and useful  advice, for so do not upset one another's life.

Without  realizing their relationship becomes closer and something is born  between them, so as to push Taki to go in search of the mysterious girl  and what you will find is not really obvious ..

The  film is a little gem, the animation is delicate and very well done, the  quality of the drawings and the seabed very high, some have compared  Shinkai to the master Miyazaki, but he modestly denies that even though  Your name is an excellent film it is not completely perfect.

In my opinion, it's a wonderful film, the only flaw is a boring soundtrack.
