one of the things i loved so much about the movie was the vague nature of his past. every choice in hirayama's life was very deliberate. whether that was good for him in the long run or not is up for him to decide i think? and that ending sequence where he smiles and tears up at the camera is a very very clear portrait of that. he knows he isn't "perfect", nor his choices. but it is the choice to smile and to continue onward that is so powerful, even if he is running from something. great video! it was interesting to hear your guy's perspective on the film. especially because i can tell you both enjoyed it but didn't get what i got out of it. it's a 5/5 with a heart for me lol.
That's very true! The vagueness of the movie really sticks with you. We've both found ourselves reflecting on this film weeks after, and it really speaks to the depth of Hirayama's character. Glad you enjoyed our takes!
