i think i need five business days to absorb first love hatsukoi. jam-packed with very attractive cinematography and color grading, heavy symbolism, key plot devices, and nonlinear timeline, it makes this normally cliched plot a must watch. 💙
not really recommended for white noise or skimming. the masterpiece is in the details. every object, every line, every place — they all come full circle. the gravity of their impact will get lost once you take off your attention.
okay, now off to find theories on the abundant use of blues and how they are instrumental to the plot. 😊
