@folium You may need to cite the sources of your images if these weren't your personal screenshots just to be safe.

Thank you! It makes me happy that you enjoyed it : )

I use my own screenshots. Always important to cite sources, though. Great advice.

This is one of my favorites from Satoshi. It always puts me in a good mood. :) Btw that frame of Hanna was probably intentional, knowing how crazy detailed Japanese animators can be, haha. Maybe for fun or for fans like us to be intrigued haha.

I wanted to write a much longer piece on this, but I pulled back ; )

I agree that the Hanna scene is likely intentional. The idea of heaven and hell, when defined for different people varies greatly; while an abundance of money may be "heaven" for one, that same scenario is "hell" for another, for example. The central characters being homeless is a clever cover for a central, highly intellectual topic for us all: defining happiness. The film revolves around family. Beyond that, developmental and environmental influence begin to take hold and shape the questions posed to the viewer. This creates interest in the subject matter. Mixing in the concept of cyclical, non-discriminatory miracles reinforces positivity and belief in the world (created and "real"). Unlike Satoshi's other works, reality and surreality here is subtlely appointed. The clever cover makes it accessible and believable/watchable for a much broader demographic.
