There is no doubt that Makoto Shinkai is a phenomenal director, and you see that in his films. There isn't just emotion; there is reality. There's a sort of presence that connects you with this world. Although you realize that every story is definitely fake, definitely something inspired from elsewhere, the way the animation falls around everything, the reality, the tension, and the quality of the animation is so, so profound and so, so brilliant that it almost feels like every scene, every shot the guy has taken of this anime, is almost real, like it might have been vectorized from something that actually exists.
But it's beautiful how this movie unfolds like a dream. And I think that's the purpose of this entire film: to keep us inspired in our dreams, to believe in our dreams. And I see that now.
