Black Mirror: Bandersnatch (2018)
Groundbreaking
Bandersnatch is groundbreaking. An interactive experience for film watching? Sign me up.
Real talk though, the main theme in this movie is about the philosophical argument of free will and if we actually have any. And to reiterate that with viewer participation, takes the cake. My first time watching through, I let it auto select, and encountered many instances where I was forced to make a decision; I didn't have any free will-a decision was wing made for me. You're not watching, you're living it.
Akatsuki no Yona (2014)
More to come?
Princess Yona grew up loving one man. On her sixteenth birthday that man betrayed her, revealing himself an impostor. Her world is thrown into disarray as she and her guard have to flee her home. Her kingdom on the verge of overthrow from this impostor of a man she thought she knew, princess Yona must find a way to persevere.
When given advice from an oracle, she must seek the four dragons to save and reclaim her kingdom. Each Dragon (with the exception of the Yellow Dragon) has their own back-story, their own character, their own life. Each which she must first help before acquiring their help in return. A little side story if you will.
I quite enjoyed the side stories, and getting to know each of the dragons; though I feel the introduction of the Yellow Dragon was rushed. I'm not sure if episode 24 was the last episode or not, but it felt off balance compared to the others. It was nice seeing the character growth in Yona and Hak. (Though Hak needs to confess already.) I'm still not sure what Su-Won is up too. If there's a season two, I'm not sure where they'd even take the story from where it is now other then the one thing that was mentioned to Yona there at the end.
Would I recommend it? Yes. Give it a try!
Ao Haru Ride (2014)
Adorable
We all had our grade school crushes. We remember how it felt to share a glance, a giggle, a moment with that one we adored. And we all remember how it felt when it ended. Now can you imagine meeting that person years later, in high school?
This is exactly what happens for Futaba and Ko Tanaka. After three years apart, they are reintroduced into each others lives again. Both of them will have to accept the ways in which they have changed since that year in the school yard. The show spends a good deal of time focusing on the character back story for these two characters in particular. We are shown what has happened, and why things are the way they are now. The question is, if Futaba or Ko will chose to remain the same or change.
This is a story about love, friendship, courage, and the trails and tribulations of life. As for why would I personally recommend it... Well, I think one thing we can all agree on is, in some capacity, we've wanted a do-over. As I've mentioned, the main characters are in love at a young age and they get separated. Young love, is the purest of all. I remember loving someone like that.
When they meet again, that love is still there. Ko has become guarded, and Futaba wants nothing more than to kick down his walls. For me personally, to think that the love I "set free" actually came back...It makes me yearn for that.
I recommend it because it resonates with my memories of youthful love, and it left me desiring a bond like (not only) the main characters have, but all of the characters in the show.
