Claudio C @Claudio666 Dec 6, 2025 Simple and Sensitive Tale of Loss of Innocence (12,110 – 17 Aug 2013 / 05 Dec 2025) In Kagoshima, the boy Koichi lives with his mother Nozomi in the house of his grandparents. Koichi misses his younger brother Ryunosuke and his father Kenji, who live in Fokuoko, and he dreams on his family coming together again. One day, Koichi overhears that the energy released by two bullet trains passing by each other would grant wishes and he shares with his brother and friends that meet each other at the point of intersection.. "Kiseki" is a simple and sensitive tale of loss of innocence of children that need to face reality instead of immature and naive dreams. The direction of Hirokazu Koreeda and the performances are top-notch and the movie shows landscapes of the countryside of Japan that are unusual in Japanese features. My vote is sevem. Title (Brazil): "O Que Eu Mais Desejo" ("What I Desire the Most") See the complete review at my Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ See more Apr 5, 2020 Hearth-warming movie. Very basic, real and human wishes, not even slightly dramatic, unite these children. Their pursuit with hints of humor and marked by personal growth and a great character arch throughout the film is all I expected from another great art piece by Kore-eda.

See more nefasto r @Nefasto Jan 9, 2019 This is a "tale of two cities" and two brothers, and it is a very good one. Hirokazu Koreeda has become a certainty to me: when I am in the mood for a good, quite, touching film, he is my man. "I Wish" is full of lovable characters (mostly little ones, and some big ones) and brilliant scenes. Another gem from this Japanese director, a man that can feel up with poetry every little thing he put on his films. See more Jul 19, 2016 This is a really sweet film...
