"Whoever you are and why you are, please work hard to survive."

Rating: 8/10 (1 April 2020)

This will not only stem from awe and gratitude for life. The author does not tell us how and why we live. What's going to happen is even more unknowable. As the beginning priest said, witness the facts with your eyes. The author only hopes that we can witness the above facts with our eyes. No one is right or wrong, only people who survive. At the end of the film, Sang and Asuka are still different. Compared with the "growable" non-big group endings in some other Ghibli films, this ending undoubtedly has more variables. And this helplessness is more painful than listening to the lament of the forest alone.
