Critique paper No. 3 Your Name

 The day the stars fell,two lives changed forever. High schoolers Mitsuha and Taki are complete strangers living separate lives. But one night, they suddenly switch places. Miysuha wakes up in Taki's body, and he in her's. This bizzane occurence continues to happen randomly, and the two must adjust ther lives aroundeach other.Yet,somehow,it works. They build a connection and communication by leaving notes, messages, and more importantly an imprint. When a dazzling comet lights up the night's sky, it dawnson them. They want something more from this connection a chance to meet, an opportunity to truly know each other. But distance isn't the only thing keeping them apart.  Is ther bond strong enough to face the cruel irony of time? Or is their meeting nothing more thana wish upon the stars?
        Your Name balances fantastic beauty and grounded reality in way that are simply impossible outside of animation.Few animated films in recent memory are this good.your name is telling at the time, which is remarkable given that it flutuates between broad comedy, melodrama, science fiction, and disaster cinema depending on the scene. Sometimes you get all of the above at once. While Shinkai does occasionally rely on mass bubt of coincidence to get the film where it needs to be, its effective in a context where coincidence and fate are such key concepts.
       Your name is as much a story of the inevitable as it is a wild fantasy, and for a such a wild premise, Shinkai always grounds the storytelling in the emotional resonance of two people simply trying to find better lives.
