Me Me Me no Kurage: Film

"Jellyfish Eyes" is a new film produced by Murakami Takashi for children about dealing with the hardships of life. I first stumbled upon this brand new film from Here. I really wanted to watch this movie because it is not only animated but supposedly has a substantial plot to help children through the harder phases of life; dealing with grief, social problems, and emotions. The author Murakami Takashi has a lively background with arts, especially traditional Japanese art style. He's infused his creativity into classical art and become a famous artist who works with various mediums. This has helped him to create the successful and inspiring film "Me Me Me no Kurake/Jellyfish Eyes." He claims to be influenced from everything, Power Rangers to subcultures so there will be a lot of various iconographic styles to spot, or so I'm told.

I can't wait to watch this film and try to see what influences came from where in "Me Me Me no Kurake." More so to see which country influence the other on what in terms of the stylistic and artistic approaches.
