That is the most realistic depiction of fate ever animated. We rarely remember why we love someone. We just know we do. Kimi no Na Wa. is not a film about saving the world. It is a film about the red string of fate getting tangled, cut, and tied back together sloppily. It is about the pain of forgetting a dream that felt like home.
The genius of Shinkai is the Kataware-doki (twilight). That fleeting moment where day meets night, where the dead can touch the living. When Taki and Mitsuha finally see each other on the crater’s edge, they don’t kiss. They don’t confess. They just stare, afraid that speaking will break the spell. -DB- Kimi no Na wa.
