The movie "Destiny: The Tale of Kamakura" is the latest work by the well-known Japanese director Takashi Yamazaki.The film continues the beautiful style of the Japanese fantasy film and the imagination of the sky, and the story about life and death. After the film was released in Japan, it won the best photography of the 41st Japan Film Academy Awards.The film tells the storytelling writer that he and his natural wife, Akiko, settled in their hometown Kamakura after their honeymoon. Kamakura is a seemingly insignificant small town, but it is a magical place connecting two different worlds, and there are all kinds of wonderful legends. The couple originally lived a happy life with a husband and wife. Occasionally, the design of the monster in Akiko was brought to a different world. The wife’s eagerness to recapture his wife, to break the taboos, to take risks, and to start a fantasy adventure in a wonderful world.
The film is adapted from the Japanese long comics of the same name. The director continues the warm and moving emotional tone of the original. While the story is coming, the first thing that makes people feel wonderful is the imaginative imagination of their creators. They are the color of the monsters, the train that spans between life and death, the poverty gods and magics that appear in the plot, which are enough to immerse the viewer in the whimsical world built by the director. It make the audiences to enjoy an extraordinary trip to Kamakura.
Compared with others, the work of Kamakura Story is obviously much brighter. The emotions and attitudes it displays are always a kind of people. I am willing to believe in the beauty of the world and to reconcile the ignorance and fear of death in the depths of human nature. From this perspective, the film concept is very innovative and very curable.
The core of the script, supported by the whole plot, gives people an extremely succinct feeling. The whole film adopts a very smooth single-line narrative method, and does not deliberately create a threshold of thinking for viewing, which can make people feel comfortable. I really appreciate the complete story. This is a very clever point in Kamakura Story. It weakens the impact of the plot to strengthen the influence of characters, pictures and music on the audience, but makes the film a good viewing experience. .
Although the film tells the story of a shuttle between life and death, the director used a warm approach to make death faceable and able to tell. The whole film’s thoughts on death are quite similar to the “Coco (2017)”. The director uses the world of fairy tales to include serious life-and-death propositions, whether it’s the image of the underworld messenger in the film, or the way to play in the underworld journey. The beautiful scenery is full of rich positive elements, and the warmth of high saturation, in a fantasy atmosphere, which makes death less scary.
The entire film, under the gentle interpretation of Isshiki Masakazu and Akiko, smashed a dreamlike spark. The light smile and the voice of Akiko’s face makes the characters get along, but they are convincing. Through the love story of the two, the director tries to retell the old but important proposition, which is pure and unrelenting love. Through the fantasy background setting, the film separates the whole story from the real world. The immersive love-seeking journey once again awakens the innocence of the audience, and this is the meaning of the whole story. It tries to make you temporarily put the troubles of the world aside, in order to recall, to think of, to regain the long-lost and to be brave to love. It can be said that "Destiny: The Tale of Kamakura" is a very successful healing system fantasy movie created by Yamazaki.
