A cruel story in a warm coat

I can't help but wonder, which group of people in the real world is reflected by the werewolves here?

My answer is unwelcome people, such as disabled people, people who are not very beautiful, and so on. Like the werewolves in the film, they need to be careful to hide the side that is not accepted by the general public.

So from the moment the child inherited his father's werewolf identity after birth, they did not inherit happiness, but in the screenwriter's setting, they inherited cruelty.

as those who are unpopular by nature

They can't decide if they can become a werewolf.

What about the day after tomorrow? How should they face the next life?

Rain and snow are two diametrically opposite paths, which are exactly the two answers given by the director when faced with this question.

Rain, completely become a wolf. Abandoned the mother who had brought him up with hardships and hardships, and called it: he chose his own path.

That's right, since the world can't accept a creature like "Wolfman", I'll run away, and I'll go to a group that is willing to accept me, and all the difficulties in the human world will disappear in an instant. I can stay in my own circle, why should I try to fit into a world that rejects me?

It's called escape!

Snow has completely become a human being. Accompanying her mother, she has a partner who accepts her secrets just like her father.

Very cozy, right? Abandon your "wolf" side and feel sorry for being a "wolf". Trying to change, like those who are desperately trying to get plastic surgery, desperately trying to dress themselves up and forgetting their original advantages? If the world doesn't like my "wolf nature", then I will abandon it. Live better this way.

It's called losing yourself!

Would either of these options be an appropriate answer for anyone?

Whether it was snow or rain, they didn't accept their identity as "wolves" in the end.

Yes, the animation can be very complete, the rain returns to nature, and the snow is perfectly integrated into the general public.

But what about reality? No no no!

Impossible, okay?

Black movement that has fought for nearly a century disagrees

Women in constant pursuit of equality disagree

What values ​​does this film convey?

And the mother portrayed in the film is an insult to all mothers in the world!

She can't, she can't face these problems alone! There will be no such kind of paradise, no patient neighbors who are always there to help!

This animation seems to be creating a false dream.

Of course, this is just an animation.

And in the end, I want it to stop at animation too.

    I only saw a woman who has a miserable life but does not know her. Maybe this is the ideal woman in the eyes of the Japanese?

    Nice animation! Although some of the settings are old-fashioned (such as the wife's pregnant husband's car accident...), in terms of directing art, this work completely surpasses "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" and "Summer Wars". There's nudity, but it's not evil at all (so rare these days!). Apart from the heroine, the most powerful one should be Kusadaira. In order to get the girl, she should keep the words in her heart for a long time, and she will kill with the last blow, um um~
