Your Name.

Makoto Shinkai’s Your Name, artistically directed and is a emotionally satisfying masterpiece. Your Name adds another staggering chapter to writer-director Makoto Shinkai’s filmography which only serves to arouse elated lovable emotions. It’s a euphoric love story filled with climatic twists and turns, the power of fate and urge that our lives posses, the emotion of having a connection and separation that effect our lives is portrayed beautifully in the movie and that makes it a stellar piece of virtual art.

Much like the transition that we experience in life, Your Name starts out as innocently awkward fun and then transitioned into deep thought-provoking mindfulness of ambiguity. This is some artistic storytelling, as it balances the ideas of relation, emotion, fate, friendship, separation and the gravity of our decisions that affects our life in general.

Your Name is a story that should be adapted into other versions of cinema like: Hollywood, Bollywood, K-wood etc. Audience who loves to watch anime will tell, a significant part of Your Name’s cinematic poetry comes from the fact that a team of animators who worked very passionately and faithfully recreated the Tokyo city landscape with very minute detail that personified the story holistically.

These type of films makes you embrace the tireless hours that went into making it and that is an impressive feat in and of itself. Your Name is pure cinematic beauty, and it created a benchmark to the animated film genre that you just don’t get from a live-action movie.
