Mirai no Mirai

In a quiet corner of the city, four-year-old Kun Oota has lived a spoiled life as an only child with his parents and the family dog, Yukko. But when his new baby sister Mirai is brought home, his simple life is thrown upside-down; suddenly, it isn't all about him anymore. Despite his tantrums and nagging, Mirai is seemingly now the subject of all his parents' love.

To help him adapt to this drastic change, Kun is taken on an extraordinary journey through time, meeting his family's past, present, and future selves, as he learns not only what it means to be a part of a family, but also what it means to be an older brother.

Mirai - 2018 - A movie you should watch with your family on a Sunday evening, because it's a movie about family.

My personal experience began with thinking it was about how moments of distance between parents and children lead to children creating "worlds" in their minds and making the mind work as hard as it can to fill the emotional gap and thus draw their own conclusions without a guide to show it the ways of life.
From the second stage of the movie, I had a clearer idea: the movie is about how we learn from each other throughout life, living and learning, ... passing on our experiences to others, be it from grandfather to grandson or brother to sister: the most important thing is to maintain this thread that leads to the human experience.
Hosoda really surprised me with this movie, because it is very different from his works that I already knew.

4.5/10 ~ So much children crying

I really wanted to like this movie because when the good parts are good they really hit right. However this film has to be like actually 30% just 1+ children crying/screaming/complaining, Yes I understand that this pretty accurate, No I dont have to enjoy it. All I could think about is damn, they should have used more protection especially after they had their first child.

This movie tried to do the thing that like many Ghibli movies do especially well, capture the point of view of the world through the eyes of a child and really bring out that ... magic that only children can truly experience. Most of the scene where the MC experiences the wounder were pretty well done, the everything else was just annoying and or just dragged out.

Its a real shame because I really enjoyed the visuals, the animation, even the general story boriding was done well enough, but my god you hear a child screaming like once every 3 minutes or so on average and its really annoying. And it really sucked me right out of the emersion from when the film was good.

I think a parent that has had a few children, an older sibling that has had to take care of a small child or grandparents will probably enjoy this movie more then once, I do not check any of these boxes so it may just not be for me.

Just go watch WolfChildren already lol

Mirai was by far one of the worst movies I think I've ever seen in my life. Nothing about this film was appealing at all and how it was nominated for best animated film of the year is beyond me.

The film Mirai just had so many things wrong with it that I can't even begin to describe. I'll start with Kun: I understand that with being a child you can expect a level of immaturity. At some point in their life, all kids have been immature / brats at some point and that's normal. However, Kun takes it a step further to the point ... he just feels unlikable. I can't say I fully blame the kid though as his parents were pretty neglectful for the entirety of the film. I get that with a new baby you're going to want to put them first. But the way they do it was horrible. Soon as Mirai came into the picture they basically forgot their first born exists.

This is where most of the problems stemmed from. Parents neglect Kun. Kun reacts and or lashes out, Kun gets punished, screams and shouts then he has an experience from the past or future version of one of the characters. Once Mirai was born, the parents barely even spoke to Kun. I also think that the film started off way too confusing and could have been portrayed way better. An example is when Kun goes outside and suddenly starts playing with a human version of his dog. I get the message it was trying to send when this happened but they could have done that in a way less confusing way.

Overall terrible film and I can't recommend this film to anyone all all.

1/10
