Hotaru no haka (1988)
Powerful but frustrating
I am Italian so I apologize for some errors. While I like this film and think it has some great visuals imagery and messages. What I don't like is how needless it is. Like you're so frustrated with the main character I know it's a child, but the decisions made are so puzzling and dumb that it makes you feel like this child actively ruined his and his sister's life. I get it's a child, I do. But it just makes me angry to see a child throw his and his sister's life into such a situation even though their home life was fine for the most part with his aunt and it made for a very upsetting watch. Overall I still liked it.
A Man Called Otto (2022)
Grumpy old man is grumpy
Sorry if the English here is a bit poor but I am Italian. Watching this movie felt like watching something I had seen before many time. Old man is sad and grumpy and leads to scenarios where he expresses frustration at the world. It feels so over done or stale that this movie while with some good performance did not feel different or engaging. It just felt like I was watching another angst movie where it just does the same thing over and over. If you like Tom Hanks performances you'll like this movie. It's good performance and he does make the movie better but my problem is that it doesn't feel very creative or different.
