Fantastic!
Absolutely the worst movie.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Man, when I first heard of this movie was a review for "worst to best animated movies for 2014" in 2015. It was rated number 1 on the video and I skipped it every time I saw the video besides the first part where Yuki transforms into a wolf and I found it cute but I wasn't interested in it. Two years later in 2017 I went on Gomovies, and I found this movie I remembered the review and I decided to give the film another shot. I saw it then it was boring until Yuki and Ami were born was when I started liking it and 5 minuets later. I was almost crying. When the wkolfman died I just wanted to know what was to happen next, I wanted to know if Hannah and her kids were going to be ok. I after the movie I almost cried.I sat on my bed quietly for a few seconds and said "that was one of the best animated movies I have ever seen in my life." That's how much I liked this movie. I loved the characters especially Hannah and Yuki and how they progressed as people threw-out the film. I also liked how there was a change with the characterisation of Yuki and Ami, half way threw the movie. Thats what I love about this movie, and some I love to notice about this movie.10/10 in my book.
This is story that I can never forget and would always be a great inspiration for me in life. I am completely mesmerized by Hana. When her husband dies and after which she faces many hardships raising her children I thought she would tell her kids to not become wolves for her sake but the way she raised her kids I could have never thought while I was watching the movie. The story has few more ironies which fits really well to the story. Yuki was very lively and loved being a wolf, whereas Ame was afraid because he thought that humans hated wolf but as the story progressed completely opposite happens. The manner in which this thing happen in the story can only be appreciated if people see this movie. I may write hundreds of words after falling madly in love with the story but these words of praise can only be appreciated once you see this. Believe me this story will make you regret your way of living life. To be honest I am already starting to feel the pressure whether I can really change my life but if I fail then what's the point of me writing all these words. Wolf children is certainly not the story to miss out. The story may not be complicated but it is a story that needs more than just applause. The character build up is fantastic. This is a story about motherhood and her unconditional love towards her children. Hana though being alone after the death of her husband kept on smiling for a very simple but heart touching reason that her name meant that she would always smile and never let her loved ones feel alone even in the toughest of times. Yuki her Daughter was also very lively and energetic, which really made me cry because I realized that I was also very similar to her as a child and how I have let myself down after growing up. The moment in the movie which really made started making feel "Hang on I may have hit jackpot" (not really correct choice of words but something even better than Jackpot) was when she says "I don't know how to raise wolf children" and the moments just after that, from there on It was just a masterpiece. I have seen "girl who leapt through time" which is also from the same Director which was quite emotional as well but in those terms this movie is even better than that. I cried for 3 days after finishing this movie (Of-course not continuously but whenever I was alone I would burst out and cried). The one other Anime which made me cry for this long was "Your lie in April" which is was also very emotionally intense. I have seen quite a lot of anime and also lot of non Anime movies and TV series and I just think that there is definitely something different in the way Japanese people think. Because If I have to give the names of few best movie or TV series in all the different genres or combined I would say that there would be Anime stories at the top of every list. This is something which I am actually very proud of because I have seen people neglect Anime just because they think that it's for Kids but let me tell you if there is really something worth watching, then these Japanese Anime would always be at the top and for this I don't need to tell anyone that please watch this, because if they don't then they don't deserve to watch these Japanese Masterpiece.
Having married a werewolf, a young Japanese woman struggles to raise her two werewolf children on her own when her husband dies in this unusual spin on the popular horror subgenre. 'Wolf Children' is such an offbeat take, in fact, that it hardly qualifies as horror movie with the human/wolf metamorphosis more of a metaphor for kids growing and changing and ultimately having to make decisions of what they want in life. The animation is spectacular, and so much so that it is doubtful whether the film would have worked half as well as live action. There is an amazing fluidity to the way the son and daughter change with a superb sequence in which the daughter runs off a porch and momentarily disappears, emerging as a wolf - an act that oblivious onlookers mistake for the girl hiding and a dog appearing. The great animation extends to snow, rainfall and flowing water too, all of which looks incredibly realistic. The film loses something though in the decision to have events narrated retrospectively by the daughter as an adult; the narration takes away from the first-hand experience of two children wrestling with their own identity and the narrative itself focuses a lot on the mother when the two children are far more interesting with their dual identities; the girl in particular is absolutely adorable. Never to mind, the film manages to spin an engaging story as it is. Especially remarkable is how well werewolf mythology is intertwined with coming-of-age drama and how werewolves are presented here as normal human beings, far from the monsters of traditional horror lore.
If I could sue people here who assure that this was a good film, I WOULD. But I recognize the story line and graphics (landscape, etc) were good. But this movie is a total waste of time, specially if you like good endings (some good and others sad) but GOOD!! I couldn't be more disappointed than what I am, If i could say with words how awful it was, I would, but I'll try. Was beautiful how hard working the mother of the two kids was, but she lack many things, and the result of her lacking was what happened in the end. I don't understand why they had to decide what they wanted to be, if they were both things? They were humans and wolf at the same time, why did the boy leaves her mother to "take care" of the woods? and he was a disobedient kid, with no respect for her mother and her sister. The mother didn't know how to control, educate nor discipline her kids and in the end she just lost both, of course people here may say she was a good mother and the message was beautiful (decide who you want to be, be free) but people mistake this message and more than anything they were JUST KIDS is like asking a baby what does he want if coke or milk? I mean WHAT!!??? SERIOUSLY are you gonna ask a baby what does he wants to eat???? That's why our world is falling apart. Just please don't waste your time watching this movie as I did.
