[QUOTE="Neil.T, post: 617148, member: 4160"] I'm trying to think back to a post of yours from years ago about the film. You were into the musical centrepiece as well, weren't you? I've tried Googling to see if Beethoven's "Sonata Pathétique" and "Over the Rainbow" were already known counterpoints to each other, but I can't find any search results that pre-date the Japanese release of [I]Anthem of the Heart[/I]. Was it really this film that came up with the idea of pairing the two? If so, that's highly impressive, and I tip my cap to the writing once again. Only in hindsight, though, João. Only in hindsight. 😉 It's indeed a purely personal thing, exactly, but one of the reasons that I feel like I can really get my teeth into this film is that it deals with the idea of having to live by suppressing your own natural character. That's a theme that I just happen to identify with on a personal level. I for one would be very interested in hearing what some of your teary-eyed examples are, João. 🙂 And ironically, as I've admitted before, Masaaki Yuasa's [I]Ping Pong[/I] is something that I just didn't seem to connect with at any point during the one time I've watched it so far. 😬 I'd like to give it another try, though. The live-action version was an entirely different story for me, however: I liked the characters as they were presented in that. Really looking forward to seeing it again, actually. [/QUOTE]
