Leave your thoughts about Spring and Chaos.
| User ReviewMariah CThis is the story of one of the greatest poets of Japanese history, Kenji Miyazawa. He lived a life of tragedy with the death of his little sister and also with a family that didn't quite understand him. He was before his time and lived with a mind that was almost on the verge of genius. I found the story to be slow, but its a docudrama anime that showed the life of a man who was almost amazing. It is from the director of Macross and was almost fun to watch. I would say ,please watch it because Kenji needs to be remembered! |
| User ReviewLaa BOne of my favorite movies ever. Watch it yourself. |
| User ReviewAlex HSpring and Chaos is the hyper-impressionistic, narratively disjointed, and wildly spaced-out biopic of Kenji Miyazawa, revered Japanese poet and children's author. The plot, strung out haphazardly among a series of not-necessarily-chronological vignettes, is rather incomprehensible unless payed very close attention to. But this is one of those movies in which the plot itself quickly becomes beside the point, in the best way possible. In the movie (perhaps in real life), Kenji-san is the ideal romantic dreamer: innocently clumsy, powerfully and stubbornly kind, and head-in-the-clouds eccentric, right to the very end. He's obsessed with writing, which he usually does on a whim, when the moment strikes him, and what he produces (or at least what of it is read in the movie, excerpts from his first and only published collection of poems, also entitled Spring and Chaos) is as fascinating as one could hope. Reminiscent of (of all the comparisons to make) and as memorable in surreal detail as Cronenberg's Naked Lunch, Spring and Chaos is among the most heart-warming, beguiling, and astounding character portraits I've ever seen. I'm really excited to get my hands on some of Kenji-san's written work. |
| User ReviewYisia LBeautiful and amazing story about Japan's famous poet, Kenji Miyazawa. |
| User ReviewSera FI'm big fun of Miyazawa Kenji, and this art work amazingly created his fantasy but still japanese simple good-old-days world. |
