jazz and warm

The coming of age movie has 3 high school students and uses jazz music to continue the story. The background of the story is Japanese cities and the '60s, World War II, which shows that the background of the story is very depressing. But the characters and jazz are the brilliance of this story. Another storyline that helped the three of them to face and transcend family, love, and friendship.

The highlight of this story is the harmonious blend of jazz without feeling weird or awkward also the actors and actresses of a good performer give a feeling of their real friendship. The picture is and the composition is beautiful and well organized. Anyway, the picture can promote the message that the movie wants to communicate well. Use jazz as the main theme. There was put in just the right fit and the music was a good substitute for words and feelings. It makes the audience feel good about jazz music.

After watching it, I felt love and warmed my heart and grew up with them. Loved both pictures and jazz music.
