Cinema Therapy - Therapist Reacts to Wolf Children (2012)

Alan: I think everyone has felt like the outcast at some point. In some way, you've felt like, I'm different and people aren't going to accept me. And most of the time we feel that pretty strongly as kids for something.

This kid looks at storybooks and instead of reading the little morality play or whatever, he's like: Why do they all hate the wolves? Obviously he is a wolf, so he's thinking about himself, but he's also seeing a completely dufferent side of the story. It really resonates with me because my own son, who does the same thing. But it's also just... I think there's something universal in that. His response is: I don't want to be a wolf. Like: I don't want to be what I am, because people won't like it.

Jono: We fear difference and we form communities based on similarities, right? And so we're similar, so we should be together. But then, automatically, those who are dissimilar are outside.

Alan: Right

Jono: And we fear the other, you know, instead of embracing or learning from the other. And it's a hard thing, because when you're an outcast, you think the problem is you instead of embracing that: No, this is everybody else.

"Ōkami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki" (おおかみこどもの雨と雪) or "Wolf Children", by Studio Chizu.

"I've lived all these years without knowing anything about the forest. That's why I've got nothing to teach you, kid. Go out and discover nature. Get to know the world around you.", from Wolf Children.

"One day, Mum told me she would never forget that morning. The freshly washed beech leaves... The cobwebs from which the rain beaded... And a brilliantly pure sky with the sun shining in its midst... As far as she was concerned, it was as if the world had been reborn orvernight.", from Wolf Children.

Wolf Children - Blog Post

The anime directed by Mamoru Hosoda, "Wolf Children," also known as "Ōkami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki," is a film that is filled with emotion. The main character of the narrative is Hana, a young lady who develops romantic feelings for a man who has the ability to shape shift into a wolf. The two eventually have children, Yuki and Ame. These two inherit their father's power to morph into a wolf , a norm that would not be accepted by traditional society. Immediately after the shocking passing of the children's father, Hana decides to go to the countryside to raise her children away from society in hopes to keep them safe. 

As Hana raises her half-wolf children, the film examines the obstacles and delights she faces as she navigates the hurdles of their dual identities and the choices they make as they walk the line living between a human and a wolf life. Many topics, including family ties, identity, and the sacrifices parents make for their children's health and happiness, are explored. 

This relates to our themes of isolation and differences within society this week. As we are not part wolf in relate life, it can be related that everyone has individual differences that can set them apart from other people. Families who have detailed history and culture do their best to preserve tradition while also filtering and bringing children into the new expanding world. This balance is necessary for the development of children so that they can create their own social identity and find their place within the world. This is shown at the end of the film as Yuki embraces her Humanistic side deciding to go to school and integrate in to society. While Ame decides to peruse his wolf instincts and lives in the mountains among the older wolves. Hana as a mother is proud of her children's decisions, and proud of her own self for leading and keeping them safe long enough to see the fruits of her labor. The film leaves us appreciative of the sacrifices parents make for all of us to become our own people within society.

I know nothing of far east productions but maybe someone here does and will weigh in? Most everything I watch is American, some UK and Canadian stuff. A lot of documentaries (if you have Netflix, guys, I recommend one called Pepsi Where's My Jet about the kid - now a grown-up - who sued Pepsi in the 90s for not getting a harrier jet with his Pepsi points lol). The one I watched yesterday was a non-story bore about a dude who figured out how to guess the exact prices on The Price is Right. Otherwise, all I've watched/am watching lately is Mayfair Witches (but I'm done because the finale was sucky and gross), The Ark (I enjoy it but everyone is piling on it), The Watchful Eye, Ghosts and So Help Me Todd (aka a show no one else knows exists).

Far East, you say? *took a deep breath*

Along with anime:

-Battle Royale (Japan invetned Hunger Games, before Hunger Games and made it more brutal, just saying)

-any Ghibli movie but especially: Spirited Away, Mononokoe Hime, Grave of the Fireflies (this is the one of the most depressing movies abour war I have ever seen and i've seen a lot), My Neighbour Totoro, The Wind Rises, Howl's Moving Castle

-The Tale of the Princess Kaguya - the animation is very, very nice, it's long (for some too long) but well, really good if you like old Japan tales

-Rurouni Kenshin (the movies, but manga and old anime is nice too, just NOT THE ANIME MOVIES)

-Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni - GROSS SOBBING, another WWII movie. I think it was on Netflix

-Old Boy (Korean version, of course...) - a tale about revenge, super brutal, but damn, it was one of the movies that screwed my brain a lot

-Ghost in the shell (the animated japanase movie, the American version... just NO, plus there would be noi Matrix without this one)

-An (2015) - gross sobbing again

-Jiro Dreams of Sushi - for documentary lovers!

-Crows Zero - and the sequels, I liked all xD aka lowly ranked high school full of delinquents who want to be named the biggest ass kickers. Sounds brutal, but mostly it's hilarious

-Millennium Actress - it's an... experience...

-Ōkami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki - human mom with two half-werewolf kids needs to move from the city to more rural area to protect them

-Crouching Tiger,��Hidden Dragon and HERO (Hero is clearer for western viewers)

-Akira - again, a classic of cyberpunk

-Ip-man - based on true sotry about a kung fu master during WWII

-Kung-fu Hustle - the most hilarious Chinese movie I have seen, but the humour is specific

-Infernal Affairs - do you recall The Departed made by Scorsese? Well, he stole the whole idea from this movie and made it 10 times worse. The Hong Kong version is a masterpiece

And maybe I should stop here, because I'm an INCH of recommending a very WERID stuff xD

Want tv shows recommendation? xD the list is long xD
