🍌🐟 From 2023

So, the original ending was supposed to be this shot where Hori sensei and Minato's mother find them near the rail tracks and call them and both Minato and Yori look back and stare into the camera.

The director, Hirozaku Kore-eda also mentioned that while making the film, the idea was that the boys survive the storm and run off free of judgement.

I’m not really sure, but I like someone. I can’t tell anyone, so I lie.

怪物 Monster (2023), dir. Hirokazu Kore-eda.

Hi if you’re still doing the submissions for 100 followers (congrats btw!) could you write down some ash headcanons you have? can be general or specific, love ur acc !!

Thank ya kindly, Anon! I'll give you some of my favorite Ash headcanons:

Ash took up the guitar when Dino tried to get him to take cello lessons. He likes to play folk songs because they remind him of summers in Cape Cod with Griffin.

Ash can sustain knife wounds and gun nicks. Paradoxically, he cries over papercuts and looks to Eiji to be coddled.

When he's out of cigarettes, he will get butts from his ash tray, salvage any tobacco, and roll a new one up.

After moving in with Eiji, he becomes much more sentimental and romantic. He daydreams about having children and living in an old-fashioned house with a family of his own.

Ash is very close to Eiji's mom. Eiji teases him by saying that she loves him more. He, quote, "knows his way around a paring knife, unlike someone."

Speaking of knives, Ash whittles wood when he can't sleep or is nervous. Sometimes he'll finish a piece in one sitting—a duck, a wolf, a rabbit—and set it on Eiji's table for him to wake up to.

Ash becomes an early riser to walk Buddy. Those two have an inseparable bond. He feeds him meat from under the dinner table when Eiji isn’t looking.

Ash loves writing handwritten letters and memos—to Eiji, when he’s away for work; to Eiji’s sister and mother; to Sing and his friends in New York; to Michael, who would send him drawings in return; to Max and Jessica, catching them up on his life in Japan.
