It could be that I am incorrectly reading this movie, however initially you would think the movie is the mockery of the racial rhetoric in media. It is basically thrown right in your face. However I think the movie is making a mockery of the viewers. It is basically saying: "You as a viewer now know perfectly what is happening in media, you are now aware of the 'correct' perspective, you are now a 'genius'". The same way monk was called a 'genius' by his mother. It taunts us with the answer to this specific social issue, seemingly playing into the idea that people want to have a form of higher understanding over others. Monk thinks he has the higher understanding, and holds on to it till the bitter end. In the meantime he alienates the people around him to so dearly protect his own pride. He seems insecure about his background and thus creates a facade for himself, a rhetoric, that he sees the world how it really is and he, and all black people, are the victims. Its all just foolish human behavior, there is no higher understanding, there is no real perspective, there is only your perspective, and the perspective of others. It is important to keep listening to what people are saying with compassion and understanding.

I am aware of the irony woven in this review, but I guess that is the beauty of human nature, our flaws are what keep the world spinning.

I was in many ways deeply touched by Mahito's journey; thus, I recommend watching this movie for its authentic storytelling.

This story depicts the journey of a boy struggling to overcome his grief for his mother. I was stunned by the chaos, the ugliness, and the haunting and isolating - yet beautiful - way his internal battle elapses. The boy fights his way to acceptance and does so with incredible determination and bravery.

I read many reviews with people saying they don't understand this movie, which is a argument that I can see. The way the story is told is unconventional, which makes this movie so unique. Grief is not simple; it is irrational - it is complete and utter chaos - full of complex emotions. Thus the presentation of this introspective battle causes a tumultuous array of scenes. As cheesy as this is going to sound, I think this movie is best experienced without trying to understand it.
