Weathering With You Is an Environmental Power Fantasy wired.com

In the new anime movie Weathering With You, a teenager named Hina treks up 10 flights to a rooftop where a makeshift shrine sits in a rare beam of sunlight.
The movie cuts to Hina falling through the sky like some celestial thing, witnessing supernatural weather patterns only she’s meant to see.
Scientists describe this as an inevitability, which makes writer-director Makoto Shinkai’s movie, ultimately, a power fantasy—a fever dream that one person can forestall environmental crisis.
Critics are hailing Weathering With You as the perfect movie for 2020, a saccharine, candy pop love story that’s also an allegory for environmental collapse.
If anything, individual awareness and advocacy will be what leads governments and corporations to take the necessary action against environmental disaster.
