  1. Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms --- definitely a must-watch film!@tegoshei825d

    ***Once you love someone, you'll truly be alone.***
    This statement makes sense, doesn't it? Sometimes, we feel so independent and try not to rely on others. Sometimes, we try to create a wall... but for what reason? I guess it's because we want to protect ourselves. We're afraid because when we love someone, when we rely on other people, we become vulnerable.
    But what would you choose? To isolate yourself to protect your heart; or would you take the risk and embrace every feeling and experience *(be it good or bad)* that comes with it?
    Ok... I'm being quite philosophical here, but I can't help it. I just finished watching this certain anime which made me think and appreciate life and everything that comes with it. This animated film is called, ***"Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms"***.

    The story centers around the life of Maquia, a girl from the *"Clan of Partings"*. They live in a place called Iorph *(thus they're called Iorphs)* and are considered the living legends as they could live for centuries, yet they can maintain their appearance in their late teens. The Iorphs weave the happening of each day into a fabric called *Hibiol*. The vertical threads are the passing days, while the horizontal ones are the lives of mankind.

    Our main character, Maquia, is an orphaned Iorph and somehow felt alone despite being surrounded by other people in their clan. One night, the peaceful life of the Iorphs was destroyed when the Mezarte army invaded their place alongside their captured beasts called a Renato.
    Maquia somehow escaped... and as she wandered around the forest, she stumbled upon a baby who is crying. The baby's family was just killed. Having the same circumstance, Maquia took the baby with her and considered him her own.

    As Ariel *(the baby)* grew up, his and Maquia's life has become interwoven. Let me show you the trailer of the movie below...

    I cried a lot watching this movie. It's so heartwarming and I just love how the story unfold. Saying goodbye is indeed one of the hardest things that we can experience. It's never easy to do so, but with every goodbye, we grow, learn and experience life. Watching this movie made me realize how lucky I am to have my mama.
    Blood isn't always thicker than water, because sometimes, the people we encounter and who we choose to be our family weighs more than some greedy blood relatives. *(You'd understand what I mean when you watch the film...)* Despite it being a fantasy movie, there are a lot of relatable realistic points that were addressed. It's indeed a movie with depth and substance. I totally love it!
    The art style and animation are also really amazing. I especially like how the world in this anime was depicted.
    All in all, it was worth all the tears I've shed watching this movie.*haha* I highly recommend this movie!!! If you still haven't watched it, please do so.
    Thanks for checking this post out. See you around! (^^,)/

  2. Review/ Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms@pompoko1441d

    A little sweet word . "Mother". But no matter how small the word, the mother's contribution to the child's life may be impossible to express in words. Again , the importance of the mother who nurtures and raises the child by taking care of the child, even if she is not holding the child in her womb, is no less important than that of the birth mother. image.png

    . . What ?? Looking at the poster of this movie, do you think that it is a very romantic movie? I made this mistake too. This is not a romantic movie. The story of a mother and son !!! There is no caste of mother, place, age, pot, age, nothing, no limit to motherhood. Mother is mother. No matter how big the child is, he is always a child to the mother. Yes ..... this movie is about such a story. A group of Iorphs, who live in a beautiful place far away from the human world, spend their days weaving a strangely beautiful cloth called "Hibial" in the loom. It is in the weaving of this Hibial that they write their history which is to be read Ordinary people do not have the means.

    Yerfs have some special features. All of them have blonde hair, red eyes, and have a much lower body temperature than normal people. They look like young teenagers all their lives, no matter how old they are. And the most surprising thing is that they live hundreds of years longer than humans. One such orphan is the fifteen-year-old Yorf girl Maquia (Makia). He seems to be alone among all. Yorf's leader Racine (Racine) always warns Makia not to have an emotional relationship with anyone outside. In this way Makia's days were being spent with emptiness in her mind and weaving. But one day a catastrophe happened.

    The armies of the greedy city of Mezarte invaded the beautiful countryside of Yorf with huge Renato dragons. But suddenly a dragon's eyes turn red and he loses his way in pain and destroys Yorf's tower. Then most of the Hibial that is stored in that tower gets entangled in that dragon. To save his life, Makia gets stuck with the dragon with the help of that Hibial and come to the forest and stop.

    Seeing the flames in the distance, he realizes that the eagles are gone. The cry of a child came to her ears just when she was about to commit suicide. As soon as she heard the sound of crying, she saw a cute baby in the body of a woman. Seeing the baby, Makia ignored Resin's warning, took him in her arms, and named him Ariel.

    Meanwhile, Meyert's troops kidnap Princess Leilia of Yorfs. What will happen this time? Will Makia ever be able to rescue Lelia? Ariel is a common man, Makia is a yorf; Who will have to fight in life to make the child human? Which will win? Mother's affection? Or the conspiracy of power seekers? If you want to know that you have to watch the movie !! Those who have seen the movie Wolf Children may have seen Hana as the best mother. But in that judgment, I will put Makia ahead of Hannah.

    Movie name: "Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms" ("さ よ な ら 朝 に 約束 の 花 を か ざ Say" Flowers in the Morning of Farewells)

    Rotten Tomato rating:100% IMDB rating: 7. 4 Personal rating:100% Genre: Animation, Adventure, Family, Fantasy Year: 2018 Country: Japan Language: English, Japanese Runtime: 115 minutes Writer: Mari Okada

    When I saw this movie's Rotten Tomato rating, I wonder if there is anything in this anime movie that gives Rotten Tomatoes 100 out of 100? I don't even know how long I cried when I saw the movie. In fact, the movie really deserves to get 100 out of 100. I hope you like the movie too.

    Happy watching.
