Hey all, just wanted to share my thoughts on weathering with you and hopefully have a discussion with you all
Yesterday I finally watched weathering with you in theaters and I got to say I was really impressed, since I saw Your name by the same director I was looking for this movie
The colours, the visuals and the soundtrack were brilliant. But on the other aspects it was lackluster
It seemed like the story wanted to be soo much more but got locked down into the same formula of Your name Here are some examples:
When the girl starts praying for the sun, everything works out fine, but suddenly there are reports of water creatures around tokyo, they dissapear when anyone touches them, and there is even a moment where 2 kids see a giant creature made of water that bursts.
We also have the heavens, where the girl gets taken. It looks awesome, but it also made me wonder, shouldn't there be other sunshine girls, or do they disappear once they get there?
Besides this there are soo many product placements, I saw myself trying to see how many products I could recognize, and godamn that bic mac did look good hun, but was this because the film got sponsored by all those companies or just a directors vision?
And finally what are your thoughts on the kids boss? I found his character more interesting then the boy himself
Anyways I give the movie a 8.5/10 but it still feels worse compared with your name, which I feel will allways be a sort of comparison to all future movies by the director
