Really well done, I cried at the restaurant scene when some memories of the mother appeared, paused it, and when to take a shower. Came back and cried again in the last scene. I don't know why only 8k views, I guess different stories touch different people
Tearjerker! Kind of the same plot of the Omeleto short about the couple who hiked a mountain to celebrate an event, and then some years later, they climbed the same mountain to celebrate another event that pertains to the first event--They were older and getting on in life, so they had some tough obstacles to overcome. I don't remember the name of it but I think my description is pretty close to their description without being a spoiler!
21:36 -- "But one day the woman was called back to the heavens against her will, and forced to leave everyone she loved behind." I don't know the constellations hardly at all, but I know that the name of the constellation of a crab is "Cancer." Very clever play on words there.
Loved it! Clearly recognised the anime style which made it even cooler. Especially the shot at the end where the daughter sees her mother with the flower petals floating all around them and their hairs flowing in the wind. Very good recreation of a classic anime scene into a live action one. Also loved the topic as it really spoke to me. Being the daughter of divorced parents and a broken family, desperately trying to bring everyone together - it's very relatable! The added aspect of the loss of the mother made it that much more heartbreaking. The family members in this movie are all very mean towards the girl. But the movie was beautifully executed! ❤
That is really interesting. I would have never guessed that anime styling was involved. This says to me that they balanced out the film, so that the anime theme was not distracting for those us who are out of the loop.
@@eugenetswong Exactly. It's one of those things that you wouldn't know if you're not accustomed to seeing the style. They've integrated it very well into the live action film. :)
Okay. Really good question. The woman at the end was the grandmother. The mother had died of cancer. It's kinda confusing and it took me a couple of watches to put it together but it was worth it. Hope that helps ☺️
The mother looked older, because the actress was probably older by coincidence, and because the movie needs to happen. Also, the mother was sick at the end of her life.
The main direction seems to be: Everybody OVERACT! Trying too hard to be a touching caper comedy... Uh... jurisdiction? Looks like a pitch to the Hallmark Channel that needs padded out to fit a 90 minute slot (with commercials)...
A USC grad student film... and it looks it... tries way too hard... and almost 7 years old from the casting call I found... I thought that it looked familiar...

Pilaf is the cutest!
So sweet is forgiving love.
Hollywood should be ashamed. No gems like this these days.
The opening scene is at the Mormon Rocks in the Antelope Valley in California. Oh and you can't legally camp out there.

If only we all had loving mothers . . .
Beautiful (and fun) cinema production and performances.
Loved the little Pokemon reference halfway through! Had to stop the movie and laugh for a few minutes at the pleasant surprise! 😀
SAME!
How is this better than most full-length movies out there? Wow!!!
This is like a Disney Channel movie. Why can't this film be longer and a full movie?

My eyes are sweating.
Yeah I was chopping onions while I watched. Guess I just had a bad reaction. Well worth another watch!
I want the robot 🤖
He’s the most adorable cutest robot I have EVER seen in my entire life ❤❤❤❤
I love how they gave the robot a tazer 😂
Wow! That film had everything one could ask for. It was lovely.
It's the night flower. Little Foot needs to collect some to save his grandfather.
Impressive !
Quite a masterpiece! Obra maestra.
beautiful. evokes sentimental family drama of beginning-mid nineties, which balanaced comedy, and bittersweet emotions.
I agree about the balance.
❤
I'm going to need one of those robots LOL
Me lo, that robot is real cool.
over the top trying to be funny but still a cute story with a good ending.
i want that doggo robot
I absolutely adored this film! Thank you for making such a sweet heartfelt piece.
Wonderful story-loved it!
Took til 23:19 to figure out they weren't saying Star of Arrows
That was beautiful. I ugly cried at the end. I can admit it. Lol
Love the seventies vibe.
It was more like the early 90s; maybe late 80s. I'm not an expert, but I was born in the early 70s.
@@eugenetswong : Maybe you're right. I was just cuing off the car design/colouring and the patterning on the decorative patterning on the furniture.
le felicito muy buena historia que me emociona en lo personal
Why are some movies vanishing from your site?
It was 1998... Not 1952...
Not really into this at all beyond the robot. A+ on the robot.
Why did the mother look like she was 70 years old and her children were no older than 12

@@DonFahquidmi im talking about the mother, not the grandmother lol

Ahhh relief
The main direction seems to be: Everybody OVERACT! Trying too hard to be a touching caper comedy...

The music was cheesy and the production value matches that of a Hallmark Original lol
Even the robot overacted...
This was really great, but the ending was not very satisfying.
That was confusing! Who was the old woman?
it's Lita's grand mother. because Lita's mother calls her "nanny" at 1:09
She's an actress, but that's not important now.....
We can't fathom the infinite creature known as "God."
It's beyond our capabilities. Yet it's doubtful the creature respects lack of action.
Nope.
