Even though it is focused on Taku's nostalgia of high school and, specifically, his crush he never fully realized himself but it takes a look at other characters as well.
STUDIO GHIBLI OCEAN WAVES MOVIE
I like how the movie is framed by the present with the past in the middle as Taku looks back. It's about a group of students looking back at their time during highschool as they are reunited after they have gone off the college. The main theme of this movie is obviously nostalgia and It's all about how they have grown. They have all matured and now understand the world is a much bigger place but they felt everything was so important when their world was small. Looking back they can see how childish they were or how caught up in certain things that didn't really matter long term. They have a new sense of independence and what they value. I personally think this is very accurate because all of them have just gotten a taste of what the world is like now that they have headed off to college. He mentions that the world is the sea and they have grown to understand the world and now, looking back, they see how little their problems truly were. He talks about how this is almost deeper to him because it makes him think of the characters nostalgia at the end of the film. Then, the YouTuber also goes into the Japanese title which translates to "I can hear the sea". I felt like that was a really great metaphor for the kinds of emotions you face during that period of your life. Sometimes it's calm and other times it's turbulent. With all the drama and feelings constantly switching around like waves in the sea crashing and merging back together. As mentioned in it the English title "Ocean Waves" is meant to be a metaphor for the even changing emotions the characters face throughout highschool. I feel like summarizing the titles is a good way to sum up what the movie is all about and what you can draw from it. So, before I get into some of the things I want to say about this movie I want to kind of go off of the ideas that video had about the title.
