Omoide no Mânî (2014)
Not a Lesbian story
Looking at some comments, I see people complaining about how Marnie and Anna's relationship was pure romantic and Anna has romantic feelings for Marnie and movie made Marnie grandma in last seconds and it sucks.
I disagree with those comments. I think one main reason why people felt that way is because they had certain expectations even before playing the movie. That's why they watched the movie from a very different point of view. They only looked for clues to support their views and discarded all the others.
Another reason may be that people don't have a good understanding of "Love". As it is often mistook by sexual desire. That is what happened in this case. People thought Anna and Marnie's action towards each other as sexual. From way I understood, it was not it.
For Anna, she went to Marsh house as it felt familiar to her. Yes, it was weird that she talked and danced with a little known girl quickly. But as story unfolds it became apparent that Marnie knows Anna from before. At the ending, you should have realized why Marnie and her tune felt familiar to Anna. Also, why she kept coming back to Marnie.
For Marnie, think of this way that she has given a small chance to come back to the world to talk to her granddaughter. But what would she do when Anna don't recognize her? Anna at this point, lost all trust to adults. So, she came as same aged as Anna. And she wanted to help cure Anna's problems without telling who she was and get forgiveness for her absence.
Lastly, the type of bond Marnie and Anna showed is what you may have with your very close siblings, relative and best friends. You can also have such with your partner if you connect well. But, if sex is the only reason of your union with your partner that you will not have a lasting bond.
Wo shi jian hu ren (2020)
Value of Family
I just came home after watching the movie. Have to say, it was a very emotional journey.
The story felt very close to home. In South Asia, most of the families fight with poverty and countless young students leave home to Developed nations with dreams of a better future. Some of them comes back, most doesn't. This film showed a realistic depiction of that situation.
Everybody in the film crew acted superbly in their respective roles. My best wishes to the lead actress for her performance. Also, director did a great job making a splendid movie. I have high expectations for her future projects.
A Perfect Planet (2021)
An answer to the harsh reviewers
As I was scrolling reviews I saw one review stating that it feels like "A massive guilt trip". Also that it is annoying for him to hear humans suck and he don't need constant reminder.
I like to assure him to the fact that, in 100 years or so, nobody would again remind the people these things.
Why? Because, there would be little to no nature to talk about. People of the future would have to accept that new normal and fight for survival over the resources we take for granted now.
And why they are talking about human's mistakes more than before?
Because, we live in the Atomic Age. The amount of power we hold is like never before. We are capable or blowing a bomb that can alter climate over our planet within a day. This is very critical time for us, as we can easily destroy our planet but cannot replace or leave it. So, this is the best time in history to talk about these and find ways to a better future as you may not admit it but nature affects you and your loved ones too.
Lastly, my best regards to Sir David and the team for a fabulous series. Thanks for working so hard even in such advanced age.
I hope before Sir David leaves us, we can at least make him go with a feeling of accomplishment and positive hope for world he is leaving behind.
