This movie intricately weaves a narrative that mirrors societal expectations and the personal aspirations individuals hold for themselves and others.
In a society that often dictates "worthiness," individuals may find themselves lost in its pursuit.
The film raises a few questions:
Does it matter if students engage in extracurricular clubs unrelated to academics?
Should students take risks to maintain an elite status?
If I cherish my friends but they choose different paths, is it right to mold them into who I desire them to be?
Notably, the animators employ the metaphor of a "butt-bite" to depict the discomfort of overbearing expectations, successfully evoking a sense of disgust that underscores the invasive nature of such pressures while retaining the silly essence of the comic humor.
A particularly touching scene features Shin-chan's mother expressing unwavering support for his choices, regardless of societal ridicule. This moment serves as a poignant reminder that genuine love and appreciation stem from those who truly care, and their opinions are the ones that truly matter.
