AKA: You and Me
Genre: Short movie
Origin: Japan
Release date: May 14, 2011
Cast: Nakamura Aoi and
Inaba Yu.
This short movie is
about a young man (Nakamura Aoi) who struggles with life as a cartoon artist,
and how he develops a
relationship with a little cat he had found on the street. The story is
followed through our storyteller: ”Gin-o-gou”, who is the cat living with the
main character. It starts when the little cat gets lost, but is found on a
bench by this young man who has recently moved to Fukuoka. He finds the cat
looking up at the stars thus naming him “Gin-o-gou” (from a manga character
about the stars (?)), and takes him while putting posters out so someone can
take him home. The two eventually bond, and this story continues with the young
man struggling with his dreams, but finding comfort in this sweet little being…
So, after watching a
whole bunch of half- hearted movies, this piece of heartbreak suddenly emerges
and makes me all snotty. I love this short story, but it would’ve been so much
nicer if it were longer. The storyline, the main actor and the cute kitten made
the 45 min pretty short, because I was interested most of the story though. That
might be because I am an animal lover but also because I have a cat which I
groomed myself from it was 3 months, so yeah... might have hit a nerve there. I
can’t really say much since it really is short, and I do not want to spoil it,
but I do recommend it.
