A chance meeting between two curious teenagers leads to an exploration of two unique worlds as they begin working together to unveil the secrets of their origins in Sakasama no Patema, a heart-warming film about overcoming differences in order to coexist. The people of Aiga are taught to believe that "Inverts," like Patema, are sinners that will be "swallowed by the sky," but Age has resisted this propaganda and decides to protect his new friend. After she enters what is known as the "forbidden zone," she accidentally falls into a giant bottomless pit after being startled by a strange creature.įinding herself on the surface, a world literally turned upside down, she begins falling towards the sky only to be saved by Age, a discontented student of the totalitarian nation known as Aiga. Inspired by a friend that mysteriously went missing, she is often reprimanded due to her constant excursions of these tunnels due to her royal status. But both the concept and imagery of Patema have this visionary quality to them that really amazes in a way that few other stories can truly lay claim to.Patema is a plucky young girl from an underground civilization boasting an incredible network of tunnels. The characterization here isn't quite as good as it was in Time of Eve, and overall, I would say that Yoshiura's earlier work was the superior film. And in my mind, it pretty much cements Yoshiura Yasuhiro's place amongst the foremost up-and-coming directorial talents in anime.
I guess the only thing I didn't like about this movie was the villain, as he seemed a little too evil for the sake of being evil instead of having some tangible reasoning behind his behavior.īut other than that, it was fantastic. Sakasama no Patema Patema is a plucky young girl from an underground civilization boasting an incredible network of tunnels.
I felt so juvenile watching it though, since the moment they looked at each other, I almost tuned out the dialogue as my inner voice was going, "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" The kiss in Spider-Man should be called the Patema kiss because the meaning behind it being upside-down was so much more significant here.īut seriously, I loved that scene.
