Somehow both relatable and unrelatable

Rating: 5/10 (2 January 2019)

The animation is breathtaking. The detail in animating the most mundane of events is at a level expected from the greatest of animators. The story is heartbreaking, but it's also frustrating because all of the main character's issues could be solved if he would only take those solutions. You can't help but sympathize with minor characters that call him "lazy".
Edit: Since originally writing this, I have learned more about the historical events that this movie was based on. I now realize why my "lazy" comment was technically wrong, but I still stand by it. If the movie is incapable of providing all the historical background necessary for the average viewer to understand the film, then the screenwriter is definitely at fault.
