i finally managed to watch Your Name.
I wish I'd made it to the cinema to see it, it is beautifully made and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
It makes me want to sit down and watch 5cm per second again now (anyone know if it's getting a blu-ray release here?), and reminded me I don't have Guarden of
Great film, one of my favourite movie, period of 2017, although it came out in 2016 technically.
Also, managed to catch Your Name when it did a re-release a couple of months back, even though at that point I already have the Bluray. Beautiful film…on top of that, lsat week when I was in Tokyo, I got off on the wrong stop on the subway and while waiting for the next train I saw a poster ad for Makoto Shinkai's work being exhibited at the Tokyo Art Centre, it closes at 6pm but just as it happens, I was only half a mile away on foot and it was 4pm so I went!
Of course there are no photos, but it showed lots of things like original drawings, a replica of his first Mac set up, even replica of the shoes in Garden of Words, photos, etc but the bit that they let you photograph was this but first, remember this in the movie? Where Taki went on a date and that date was actually in the Tokyo Art Centre, same spot in real life.
They made this.
It was so cool, spent about 2 hours there, some of the exhibit were translated in English but some were only in Japanese so I would have enjoyed it even more if I had understood Japanese.
(although it was only £13 more during that pre-order offer).
(well that's my excuse for being unable to see a large red button).
