Shinkai has given us some of the most amazing movies ever which more often than not seem to revolve around the concept of unrequited love .
Here are my top picks from this sorcerer's collection:-
Here are my top picks from this sorcerer's collection:-
1)5 centimetres per second(2007)
Like most of shinkai's works this is also a genius piece of art .The film consists of three segments "cherry blossom" , "cosmonaut" and "5 centimetres per second" . This film revolves around a boy and his childhood friend who is a girl . They cover three stages of their life starting from elementary school to high school and finally ending in their mid twenties ( a time when the magical realm slowly fades out into the reality). This animov is a bit difficult to relate to if you are under 14 or let's say even under 20 cause as the critics say you need to go through life and experiences before watching this movie . You can't relate to a stage that you have never gone through . This may look like three just about average isolated stories but then they all scream out one truth" Life's not what you always want it to be" .
2) Garden of words(2013)
This is in my opinion the third best animov ever after 'hotaburi no mori e' and 'Your Name' . It revolves around a mysterious woman and a student who studies in the school that she teaches in. This movie is more about Agape or unconditional love rather than unrequited love. The boy is a person who doesn"t stand out much and his sole reason for visiting he garden was to design shoes whereas thw woman visited the Garden to escape from problems in her professional life. The teacher as well as the boy have had their set of hardships before they met in a garden by the lake , they stared to talk to each before they knew it . Through these talks they eased their hearts and gave vent to their views and wings of confidence to their dreams. They free each other from self imposed barriers and come together as a pair that's strikingly unusual but highly refreshing.
3) Your name (2016)
'Kimi no nawa' or 'Your name' is the highest grossing animov ever.
It has the perfect combination of a genius plot, perfect storytelling and an amazing soundtrack. The movie might seem like normal animov up to the 39 th minute but then right after that it transforms into the epic that it is . I don't know how to describe the movie without giving off any spoilers as every second of it is precious. The story basically revolves around a boy and a girl who are strangers and undergo body swapping . Before halftime the animov seems quite normal but after that when the red string of fate brings out the true reason of their encounter and that's where the Kimi no nawa actually begins.
