5. Aku no Hana
Japanese Movie - 2019
Not too sure about this movie yet? but I think the final message of this as one of them at least "that is to stay true to yourself, keep being you, no matter what society says you should be." even if you are a pervert, and there should be space for those and the weird ones. So don't hurt them by telling them down.

10. Motherhood
Japanese Movie - 2022
Family trauma travels down to each generation.
& An extremely tough movie to watch!! but so important.“it's called instinct, but motherhood probably isn’t
something we’re born with, but rather something that is acquired later in life.
.
yet many are under the illusion that it’s something women are born with,
and it feels like a denial of integrity when a woman is considered not motherly.
-So she tries to supplement it with words to prove herself.
by saying things like: “i raised her with care and plenty of toil and love.”
-what if the girl really had died bc of her mother?
of the suicide attempt. What would you have told her: -i wish I could have told that girl,
“that there is two types of women:Mothers and daughters.”
There are women out there who will always want to be treated as a daughter.But not just that, all around everyone in their family, the father, her mother-in-law have grown up in dysfunctional households, and eventually creating dysfunctional households again in this current family.

11. Honey
Japanese Movie - 2018
cute story about a girl getting adopted by her uncle when both her parents dies, and he makes a big effort to support her , making a cafe to work as, and hope to see her smile big-
scared for her bc she got traumatized for long as a kid and teenager not able to change from getting afraid from most things-
until she luckily meets a guy in her school who helps her stand up to the bullies towards her and stands by her side - and she before that thought she was just a completely scaridy cat- but she was not afraid/had. huge kindness in her to try and give hope to him as he and her was strangers; he had gotten beating up greatly bc he sought to get into fights bc of his mother seemed maybe more interested in dating other men than prioritizing her son completely for her, but he didn't understand that and acted up by fighting- and when that girl that one day gave him a juice and an umbrella over his head when he was maybe at his lowest of hopes- he tells her she learned him to have kindness. And now he only fights other people when they hurt the people he cares about and loves.
they both became stronger bc of each other, -
