I wasn't expecting this film to be so eye opening. There are so many twists and turns before the true message becomes clear. Each scene was meaningful and it provided a new perspective for me. I felt inspired to be a better person and kinder to others. Don't spoil yourself before watching, go in blind with no expectations and immerse yourself in the film.

Japanese cinema is celebrated for its refined minimalist dramas and avant-garde experimentation; it also introduced popular genres like jidaigeki (samurai epics), kaiju, and anime. Across both high art and mass entertainment, it often explores morality, impermanence, and the pressures of modern life.
