"Your Name"


(The set-up is relatively simple: Mitsuha (Mone Kamishiraishi) is a high school-age girl who lives in the fictional Itomori, a gorgeous, quaint village in the Hida region of Japan; Taki (Ryunosuke Kamiki) is a slightly older boy living in Tokyo. They are both average kids with their own social circles, but they have no actual connection, and lead very different lives, at least partially defined by their equally gorgeous settings of city vs. country.)

Mitsuha is the daughter of the mayor of a small town located in Japan, Kyoto, She is a simple girl who studies high school and has a little sister, lives with her grandmother, in this town a rite is very common which they do every year, but she is not interested in that since she dreams of studying in tokyo and leaving her small town aside. On the other hand, Taki is a high school boy who lives in Tokyo, he works part time at a restaurant where he meets a girl he finds attractive, but he is a bit shy and has no intention of telling her.

One day Mitsuha and Taki have a very strange "dream" in which they become the opposite gender, specifically each other. The interesting thing about this film is that Mitsuha and Taki are strangers living separate lives until one day suddenly they started switching places. Mitsuha wakes up in her Taki's body, and he in hers.  This phenomenon happens randomly, and they must adjust their lives around each other. In some way or another, it works. They build a connection by notes leaving for one another until they wish to finally meet. But something stronger than distance may keep them apart.

This type of film is a Romance/touching and a bit of suspense since it makes you excited and wants a relationship like that, Taki's personality is a bit disinterested at first he really doesn't care much about relationships as he is a bit shy and not open minded but through the movie the character develops he has a good overall development; But honestly, the personality that I liked the most and my favorite character was without hesitation mitsuha since she is a girl who at first thought that living in a town was a bad thing and that she did not like that kind of life very much and that makes her a person who wants to improve who does not want to stay in one place like many people usually do and that is what I liked the most about her, in terms of her development she was a work of art

Skilfully directed by Makoto Shinkai, the film comes with a beautiful masterpiece about time, the thread of fate, and the hearts of two young souls. The script is sensitively gripping, touching, and hilarious and the production is amazingly stunning. as Taki, Ryunosuke Kamiki is appealing in his performance and love of Mitsuha. 

However, for me, it's the character of Mitsuha, convincingly acted by Mone Kamishiraishi, who is the most touching of all. In conclusion, for me, Your name was a very interesting and highly recommended film which I'd thoroughly recommend

  1. Thank you Abraham, I really like animated films, and I think this one wouldn't be the exception. I think this is an unusual stroy which makes us wonder about space and time. Good job!
