Another heartwarming episode.

Beach episode with a heartwarming end. The way Sato sees herself as being unable to change was a bit sad, but my hope for this season is that her ship with Ishikawa sails.

It think the disconnect here is what we consider “sad”. To me that event was “horrific” or “disturbing” and left a lasting and negative impression. To me that wasn’t a “eh whatever, it’s sad but shit happens” situation.

Not gonna lie. Seems like a bad faith take to me.

But okay, let’s elaborate. :) Wouldn’t you agree that there is a singular event in the movie that stands out both tonally and narratively. A event that most movie watchers would find surprising, shocking even, and might take offense with? I mean I’m sure there are some cinematically literate geniuses that read all the minute foreshadowing and then felt elated when their predictions came through, or some psychos that really get their kinks in that type of content, but “generally” speaking?

Okay, I’ll bite. If you have seen the movie and someone says to you “I don’t like it because of the thing that happens in it” you’re telling me you have no idea what they mean? No idea whatsoever? And the best answer you can come up with is “because it’s not happy”?

Spoilers for a main plot point of the movie. If you have to ask you haven’t seen it.

Hate the movie. Not because it’s bad, but because of the thing.
