Whisper of the Heart 1995
beautiful movie. perfectly captures the ever present struggle between finding one's direction in life and enjoying the present. it made me realize that i'll probably be living and reliving the feeling of romantic longing for the rest of my life, like cycles of reincarnation, until finally i find the one. ghibli movies are for the hopeless romantics.

Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy 2021
It's interesting to see how variably stories can play out along the same two tracks of chance and hope. Of the three vignettes, the tension in the first two entertained me the most, while the poignant and wholesome tone of the third felt out of place.
Overall, a pleasant intro to Hamaguchi's capabilities as a storyteller that has me adding more of his stuff to my watchlist.
