Colorful

This movie really blew me away. It isn't the typical fantasy or violent anime most of us watch but, it is really powerful. To start i'm going to say that not everybody will rate it a 10/10. The meaning of it will be interpreted in different ways, and depending on how much you can relate to it will impact your rating.

The animation is beautiful, with many colors and cool locations to look at. The story can be very dark and unusual but also fun and playful at times. I recommend everyone watch this movie at least once, to get the full meaning out of it. To me I really felt it was trying to teach me to be thankful for what I have, and to value my life even at the worst times.

Some movies are never worth to write a review, I learned that today!

Second Chance.........

We all wish that, to have a second chance to renew our life again.But do we really get that?Probably never.All we get to run in a new way, not looking behind.Road is pretty big right?

This movie made me regret on what I did to my life, my failure, my hope, everything.

Again it made me feel that nothing is never over.We have to live on.Doesn't matter roads we have passed were broken.We still need to keep walking!

"No need to kill yourself when you are already dead" :-)

Hence, I continued to live like a Zombie from now on........

This movie is about a soul that gets a second chance to reform from its deadly sin and earn a rebirth by inhabiting the body of a teenager, Makoto, who committed suicide. The movie covers the pursuit of the soul to find out why Makoto attempted suicide and his own deadly sin to reform.

The story has a good plotline to make an intriguing, inspiring movie with high emotions. The story arc is written well as the soul tries to learn about Makoto, his family, his usual routine, and how his relationship with everyone. There were some good add-ons like, the interaction of the soul and the guiding angel, Purapura with their difference, others reacting to the change of Makoto's character, his realisation of life's importance and to cherish it even how bad things turn out, the soul makes the first friend for Makoto, the soul finding his deadly sin and the reason of Makoto's suicide.

The climax was satisfactory and inspiring, with a major reveal of the guiding angel's final words to the soul. The drawbacks of the film are the slow pacing and narration dull the fulfilling experience. The scenes of the soul neglecting the few characters instead of dealing with them were monotonous.

The Voice acting was good as they emote their emotions and make them connect with me. The animation and frames were good. The music was minimal, the emotions would have heightened if it had been used well.

In conclusion, I like this movie as it describes the importance of life and inspires me to cherish life without making any wrong decisions. I recommend everyone to watch this movie once.

First, the story is kind of unique. Maybe too melancholly. But, the story has wonderfully been drawn into scenes and animations. Well, the animation itself is not perfect, but still can represented what the story want to tell.

Second, the perspective of story is also a great idea. It is a thoughtful imagination that been translated into scene by scene. Somehow, I just really appreciated the story been telling from this perspective.

Based on the novel, by Eto Mori, Colorful is made by the veteran animation director Keiichi Hara. The movie was a project suggested by Sunrise's president Kenji Uchida to director Hara, and took five years in the making, beginning from their first meeting.

The movie is absolutely stunning in its production. I give lot of credit to director Hara for all the attention to details he's put in. His experience shows, and his clout in collecting the best talent is also evident in the people he's gathered to make this movie.

You really need to see this movie to appreciate the story, and the artistry. Never since the days of original Disney's animation, have an old school animation movie made with such high level of artistry.

This is a modern day classic, and worth every minute of your time to see it.
