I remember having seen this film at least once and I liked it a lot, despite being a "quiet" story, compared to other well-known films from the same company, Studios Ghibli. Although it is not one of my favorites from this director, it is very entertaining to watch, especially for its audiovisual section and its story, which is very well inspired by history, if you will pardon the redundancy.
Good review.
It's not my favorite movie either, but I did like it a lot, especially because of the historical context of the film, the music was also perfect and all the sound effects like the birds singing and the sound of nature in general.
I'm glad you like this review 😊
