![]() She never took into consideration the opinion of others, she always did what she thought was right to do. Hana has always lived by following her heart, for better or for worse. By telling the whole story of Hana, he first wants to show the viewer how the protagonist of the film is a person who has lived his life to the full. Finally she returned to her solitude again, happy though she had done her job as a mother well. She let them choose for themselves how to live their life. She sacrificed her life (university life, work) to keep the promise made to her beloved (and to herself) to raise their children with sound principles. When her beloved tragically disappeared, Hana fell and stood up immediately, she was not afraid to raise her two children alone, knowing moreover that she could not rely on anyone given their wolf nature. Although she was perfectly aware of the consequences, she wanted to crown her love with two children. Being the first to know that secret made her extremely happy, because she felt truly important to him. Not even when Ōkami confessed his secret to her (that of being a wolf) did not make Hana’s love falter, far from it, it made her stronger. The more they dated, the more their affinity grew, so much so that they fell in love with each other. ![]() They were both introverted, prefered to be alone, and had the same meticulousness in taking notes and the same passion for the subject they were studying. What actually fascinated Hana was the fact that she had found a guy similar to her, as if she was looking in the mirror. Hana was fascinated by Ōkami, a boy who attended her same course different in both appearance and manner from other students. It begins by telling the encounter between the latter and her father, and continues by showing us how she lived and where she will spend the rest of her life after successfully satisfying her raison d’etre. The film retraces, as Yuki’s narrator tells us, the “true story” of her mother, Hana. This might seem like a criticism … far from it! It is a virtue of few authors to know how to tell a story without having to resort to countless twists to keep the viewer interested. Wolf Children is a quiet, almost predictable film, with a single twist in its entire duration. The director return essentially to his origins, or rather to his first feature film The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.įurthermore, Hosoda drastically changes the pace of the work compared to his previous works. The loneliness of the protagonist “forces” Hosoda to abandon the choral narrative used in Summer Wars, replacing it with a much more intimate story, in fact, the whole story is told exclusively from Hana perspective. In fact, in Wolf Children we don’t find a traditional Japanese family like the one seen in Summer Wars, but a more modern, contemporary, real situation: a single mother who finds herself out of the blue having to raise two children completely alone. To best represent this concept, Hosoda first decides to change the context in which to play the story. This time, however, the author does not want to celebrate or glorify the family as a “fundamental institution” of human society, but rather to describe the essence that is at the center of every family unit: maternal love. Hosoda, in fact, once again explores the theme of family in Wolf Children, already central to his previous film Summer Wars. Wolf Children is the heartwarming story about the challenges of being a single mother in an unforgiving modern world.Ĭompared to the previous films, Wolf Children represents a normal evolution more than a revolution and I’m not referring only to the technical and artistic aspect of the work, but above all to the conceptual one. The stress of raising her wild-natured children in a densely populated city, all while keeping their identity a secret, culminates in a decision to move to the countryside, where she hopes Ame and Yuki can live a life free from the judgments of society. All too soon, however, the sudden death of her lover devastates Hana’s life, leaving her to raise a peculiar family completely on her own. Hana gives birth to two healthy children-Ame, born during rainfall, and Yuki, born during snowfall-both possessing the ability to turn into wolves, a trait inherited from their father. Despite this, Hana’s love remains strong, and the two ultimately decide to start a family. On a full moon night, he transforms, revealing that he is the last werewolf alive. As it turns out, he is not truly human either. Hana, a hard-working college student, falls in love with a mysterious man who attends one of her classes though he is not an actual student.
