  • The ending of ‘Inception’ is the big hol-up moment. It kind of happy, but we’re not getting the answer how real it is.

    The ending of ‘The Sopranos’ is very ‘happy-not-happy’. Despite speculations

    spoiler

    did was Tony killed or not
    :::. I mean, he is main character, and still he is a mafia boss, so could there be really good ending?

    I also think that the happy ending of the ‘E.T.’ not happy at all. Even if federal government would be good to them, how would those children live their normal lives after all those events?

    The ending of Makoto Shinkai’s ‘Weathering with you’ is kinda happy but for real is definitely not. The main couple is together but the price of it is Tokyo drowned.


  • Mamoru Oshii studied in christian school and in his personal works of the late 80 and 90s he exploits many religious and philosophical themes. His surreal ‘Angels Egg’ full of biblical symbolism. Also his full length ‘Ghost in the Shell’ movies are definitely fulfilled with christian motives.
    I’d also recommend Satoshi Kon’s ‘Tokyo Godfathers’. It is wonderful Christmas story with Dickens motives and wonderful Kon’s visuals.
    In my opinion, Yasuhiro Yoshiura’s ‘Eve no Jikan’ have obvious reminiscence. I mean, androids as a persecuted minority with digital limbs above their heads is quite literal.
    While Watanabe’s "Sakamichi no Apollon’ not christian per se, religious background of two of the main characters plays big role in plot.
    And, speaking about elephant in the room, ‘Neon Genesis Evangelion’.
