I chose to write Kimi No Na Wa as it was a fantastic Japanese movie that managed to be a hit. Kimi No Na Wa, is a mix of emotions, a fantasy romance film with interesting contents that keep the movie to be refreshing all the way to the end. This movie also contained plot twist that keeps the audience wondering to get the right answer.      Kimi No Na Wa has included few art movements such as post-modernism and dadaism, Post-modernism is a broad movement that involves 20th century like philosophy, architecture, art, and the rest, which is very obvious in this movie.
