For the second movie, I chose to watch “HIKAWA MARU-氷川丸ものがたり -”. It was a Sunday afternoon show and the theater was fully packed with people hoping to see this Japanese anime movie. HIKAWA MARU ”氷川丸ものがたり“ the Japanese original title of this film “HIKAWA MARU” is a Japanese animation movie that is directed by Shunji Oga. Shunji Oga is the most remarkable Japanese animation movie director in the world. The movie came out last summer in Japan and had good reviews. I usually do not watch anime movies and I am not a fan of anime, but it was quite different from other movies and I was really excited to watch this movie.
The main character 13 years old young boy Jiro Hirayama has lost his mother Great Kanto Earthquake and was helping noodle vendor that runs by his father. One day, Jiro decide to work as one of the crews on ocean liner Hikawa maru. Jiro was able to find the position at cook room. Through Jiro’s perspective, film shows 85yers long history of the Hikawa maru. The movie has four different time periods in the story. The first story setting was before the World War Two happens. Hikawa maru was in the service between Yokohama and Seattle as passenger ship. The second story is after the war started. Hikawa Maru was running as a hospital ship. The third story setting was after the war and ship run as cargo and passenger ship. I was really impressed by the theme of this movie, which is a sense of peace. Throughout the story, the movie is showing memory of the war, the appeal of the ocean, preciousness of peace, severity of the jobs on the ship to the audiences. I recommend you to watch this movie when you have a chance.
