UTTERLY STUCK IN WALL MOVIE

UTTERLY STUCK IN WALL MOVIE

One thing for sure this movie was made to be viewed together with all family members on a Sunday afternoon. Let's take a different approach about this om a child's perspective this movie is very attractive and he feels vey connected to the story ,art and characters and will have a great blast watching it.

I was grinning for a solid 60% of the film and the audience was laughing at multiple points and if that's not proof that this film is pure joy, I don't know what is.Ĭatch me buying this film on DVD and playing it if I'm ever down, and in the unlikely event I ever have children I promise you they will be raised on this stuff. At points when I thought I couldn't be having more fun, it got more fun. I'll admit, when it started off, with the slightly sulky male protagonist and his musician friends right at the start I thought 'oh no, what did I get myself into', but the moment Lu enters the scene that was all gone and the film was an absolute joyride. The only way I can really describe Lu Over The Wall is by saying it simply feels like the feeling of sheer joy, in film form. All my expectations were subverted and the trailer does the film no justice. yet I somehow really wanted to give it a chance.Īm so, SO glad that I did. I had also seen the trailer for it and it very much made the film seem to me like a bootleg Ponyo. Therefore, as the last anime film I was seeing in the programme I kind of expected that kind of tone to be present in Lu also. I watched this film at Annecy Animation Festival, right after I'd seen two other anime films (In This Corner of the World and A Silent Voice) neither of which I will be reviewing or spoiling here but both of which were, while wonderful films, not particularly cheerful. Fostering a dynamic friendship, Kai and Lu gradually come to express their genuine selves, testing the long-standing boundaries that have deafened the resounding harmony among the people of Hinashi Town.

As she twirls and grins to the sound of his stereo, Kai discovers a number of aspects about the being who introduces herself as Lu: she possesses incredible water manipulation powers she buds a pair of functioning legs with the sound of music but most notably, she is a truly benevolent creature who simply wants people to like her.

Later that night, Kai is composing music in his room when he attracts a familiar entity-a mermaid. Nevertheless, Kai agrees to accompany them in a practice session on Merfolk Island, where he soon witnesses something that he cannot explain. The pair ask him to join their rock band but are met with apathy. Even so, Kai finds solace in making looped beats on his laptop and uploading them to the internet.ĭespite his reserved and glum demeanor, Kai is approached by Kunio and Yuuho Ebina, two cheerful classmates that happened upon one of his videos. Due to allegedly attracting merfolk and subsequently causing the death of the elder's mother, music is seldom discussed in the Ashimoto household. In the seaside village of Hinashi Town, Kai Ashimoto's grandfather is one of the locals who reinforces the legend that mermaids lurk near Merfolk Island and consume humans.
