Vaioretto evâgâden gaiden: Eien to jidô shuki ningyô (2019)
A side story of the awesomeness of Violet
No, this movie did not reach the emotional depths as the first season. Violet has already developed as a character and we know what to expect of her. Still, this movie did not lack in visual aesthetics and it had a decent plot. It simply is like a long episode giving more time to get to know the characters. However it does not lead to a great culmination as the series did. The events and characters were not as gripping, but the movie has subtle feel good moments all through out it. I can see why some people might be disappointed by it since the universe of Violet Evergarden is incredibly rich and we could have gotten possibly an insight on Violet's past or another original subplot. And I say original since the movie felt like a template of some of the episodes from the series, just for an extended time. It still does not make it less awesome, I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you want to get more of Violet Evergarden, this is good way to continue and hopefully we'll see even more movies/series in the future.
Empire of the Sun (1987)
An incredibly moving piece
Did this movie have the most original plot ever made? No, have watched similar ones. Did it have some crazy war action? There was some, not a lot, but finely executed. Did it have some over dramatized moments? No, they were skillfully made not over the top and believable. Was the play of the actors the best in the world? No it wasn't, definitely top-notch though. Was the narrative portrayed in a gripping manner? Yes, you could immerse yourself and empathize with the characters as the story unfolds. Was the camerawork extraordinary? Extraordinary is a strong word, maybe a little bit above average in my honest opinion.
I don't give 10 lightly to many movies, however when you add up all the finely made parts combined with some powerful moments and passion from the characters it arouses the senses and gives intense joy for the short interval of time, that you watch the movie. That is 10 in my book!
