[Wolf Children’s Rain and Snow] Released in 2012
At the end of last month, Prime Minister Abe’s request for temporary closing of elementary, junior high, and high school unexpectedly caused him to spend a long spring break with his child, and many mothers may be tired of thinking about the place of stress for their child. Introducing movies that you would like to see with your child at such times.
The story goes on in the form of a daughter (snow) who was born between two mothers (flowers) who fell in love when they met “Wolf man”.
A female college student, “Hana,” falls in love with a simple, straightforward, young man with whom she met in the classroom. The man confesses that he is a descendant of a wolf man born between a human and a wolf.
Flowers accept it and give birth to two children. The daughter “snow” and son “rain” who were born grow up as wolves who are humans but can also be wolves.
The rain is born and his father’s man is dead. Abandoned to raise two children who could not transform themselves in the city, Hana leaves the village and relocates to an old rural house with many animals.
Snow wants to live as a human being without fear of animals and human beings, whereas rain is introverted and attracts the mountains without accustoming to elementary school, and meets teachers in the mountains. Hana begins to work as a curator in Shimimura, who has become accustomed to the villagers.
Meanwhile, the appearance of a transfer student (Kusadaira) who says that snow is “beast smell” will change the elementary school life of snow. It seems that it’s a barrel, so it’s rain that avoids Kusadaira, and Kusadaira that keeps it around. And the incident happens…
I hadn’t even seen it, but when my daughter showed me a series of Ghibli works when I was in kindergarten, I was attracted to a jacket and borrowed it when I entered elementary school. I was thinking that it would be good if my daughter stepped up, but it was a movie that made me feel like I was a parent.
In addition, I remember that my daughter was young and felt that she felt love, communication, and living in the countryside, and said, “It was better than Kiki’s Delivery Service.” (By the way, I’m addicted to Natsume Yujincho now)
It’s not a type of movie that kills time, but I think it’s a movie that appeals to people of all ages without getting tired if they are elementary school students or older. Please share the excitement with your child!
