As humans, we contain multitudes and we want to resist any attempt to put us into a box.

In fact, I think the characters are universal - everyone can find at least one person (or their memory) here that theyll relate to. The most intriguing case being a young man who has left the world before his cynicism could turn into quiet acceptance. After refusing to select one memory from his past, he says in one of the conversations:\n… But those are just memories. And ultimately, we end up turning memories into our own images. Of course, it really happened so it feels very real, but, Say I construct the future, as though Im making a film about it. As I imagine all kinds of situations, I think what I create, would feel a lot more real than some memory. Thats a lot more meaningful than looking back at the past\".\nRather than giving you answers, Kore-eda takes you on a journey of discovery with questions. After all, how often do you think about death, memory, legacy and afterlife?\n",

The unique and swift camera movements are still there, the colors still pop out like from another universe, the absurd comic timings still bring a smile to your face - but you wont feel the kind of personal emotional investment into the characters like you would in the rest of his filmography. Still, for a Wes Anderson fan, this would be a nice enough movie.\n",
