Review of Your Name. (2016) by Brunovn00 — 08 Dec 2019

Great movie overall. I think it has so many good elements that make this movie as good as it is. First of all: Gorgeous. It has some great animation and the backgrounds look stunning. This movie looks beautiful. I was amazed the whole movie by the insane amount of detail every frame of this movie has. If this movie got something right is the presentation. You have to be a hater to deny that. The score for the most part was beautiful and fits the movie really well. However, the movie has some really bad music at times. For example, at the beggining, during the "opening", the music that was playing was like a really corny pop-rock song straight out of the 2000s, and to me, made the opening feel really cheesy and left me a bad first impression. There are moments in the movie where, instead of using more of that beautiful score, they decide to put more pop-rock music. It kinda ruined the tone of the scene. But it is not a really big problem, because, like I said, for most of the movie, it has a really good score. Other thing I really liked is the writing. The dialogue and the way the characters are written, specially character interactions, is really good, and the twists and turns were well executed and turned the movie in something I wasn't expecting. Speaking about that, that is both a praise and a criticism, because if something doesn't let this movie get a 10/10 from me is this:

IT'S TOO COMPLICATED!

The story is just too hard to swallow. While not incomprehensible, this movie was something I wasn't expecting: Complicated. Now, don't say I'm a braindead retard because this movie is too smart for me. I think it is the subject matter what really makes this movie really hard to follow. (Kinda spoiler) A movie about this crazy sh*t of alternate universes and time travel and all that is kinda hard to write because there is a 99% chance that you will make something that, either doesn't make any sense or too complicated.

I know that there are articles on the internet that explain the movie but really I don't feel like reading them. I think I'm fine with what I got from the story. Other than that, this movie was really good. I definetely recommend it.
