"forgetting is normal", one of the quotes from miyazaki's the boy and the heron, is so true, so simple, and to me: so cruel. it shakes me to my core and it is something that i'll keep thinking about for a long time as someone whose existence is built on keeping memories close.

soya kurokawa in one scene has a cup of tea in his hands. and without any request from me, he seems like he would spill the cup by tilting it then he puts it back. that's because I told him to think himself as a cup when he was thinking about his emotion. – hirokazu koreeda,怪物
