This movie is really make me cry. this is a spirit for survive.
Spirits’ Homecoming also surprised me by showing some positive examples of humanity. Small kindnesses. Loyalty. And even one example of a soldier who was human and decent. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a brutal film to watch yet it also shows hope and compassion, especially in how the girls treated each other.
Speaking of the emotion, it permeates the film but some scenes seem to bleed it despite their on-the-surface normality. The scene with the grandmother in the tub, when the camera traveled across the sea, or the butterflies – out of context, none of those should cause tears to stream down your face but they will. Because context is everything in this film. For any of you who tend to tear up during sad films, bring lots of tissues as you’ll need them.
