Some quick thoughts and ramblings about\u00a0Scarlet\u00a0<\/em>here:<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The Scarlet<\/em> anime movie was an imaginative cosmic journey through the world between life and death, where multiple universes and timelines collide. What I initially thought would be a straightforward quest for revenge became a cross between Hamlet<\/em> and La La Land<\/em>\u00a0with some humorous moments (like the crotch stabbing, for instance) and musical breaks to lighten the heavy themes. On the technical side, gorgeous graphics and smooth action sequences help transport us as the audience into this strange new world created in the film. Personally, I think it could have been condensed further but I appreciate the lesson letting go of anger and hate and striving to become the better person who can step back even when the other party keeps provoking you.\u00a0<\/div>\n

An adventure through the ages awaits in \u201cScarlet<\/span>,\u201d now showing exclusively in SM Cinemas<\/strong><\/p>\n

Time, the afterlife, and revenge blend together in Academy Award\u00ae-nominated filmmaker Mamoru Hosoda\u2019s new animated film Scarlet<\/span>, now showing exclusively in SM Cinemas. Coming off of feature animations such as The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Mirai, the former earning him a Best Animated Feature Film nomination at the 91st Academy Awards, director Hosoda\u2019s newest film offers hope in the face of darkness.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Watch the trailer: https:\/\/youtu.be\/8D4-ZihpaC4<\/a><\/p>\n

Director Hosoda wanted to take the timeless story of revenge and violence and use it to spread positivity to his audience. He\u2019s influenced by the story of Hamlet, but Hosoda\u2019s Scarlet<\/span> aims to have a more positive outlook, even through the princess Scarlet<\/span>\u2019s quest for revenge. \u201cThe question presented to Scarlet<\/span> is how to deal with the energy, how to forgive. There are many parallels to our current geo-political landscape and I wanted that reflected in the screenplay. We don\u2019t really have an answer of how to fix that yet but there\u2019s this collective desire of mankind to figure it out because of the cost of war,\u201d he says.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He also offers a haunting description of the Otherworld, his interpretation of the afterlife in which most of Scarlet<\/span> is set in. \u201dA place where life and death coexist, and both past and future are all woven together. If you are not strong enough you will disappear into nothingness,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n

Set off on an inspiring quest as Scarlet<\/span> is now showing exclusively in SM Cinemas.<\/p>\n
