Hal is an animated movie that's depressingly beautiful. It's a sci-fi romance themed animated film that has a twist at the end. I can say that it's pretty good, but I'm not just a fan of the kind of animation for this. The story though was good, and will definitely leave you hung over the main characters after watching.
The story is set on a time when robots can completely act like humans, and I assume that anyone can own one if they can afford to..
Hal is the guy in the picture while Kurumi is the girl. They are in a relationship when Hal suddenly died from a plane crash.
Kurumi was left devastated..
Then this old man asked the robot, Q01, to become Hal so that he could comfort Kurumi who's suffering from Hal's death.
When Hal the robot showed up, Kurumi didn't easily open up to him because she's still afraid.
However, as time went by, Kurumi opened up to Hal the robot while he makes some of Kurumi's wishes come true. (Her wishes are written on rubix cubes that are completed and Hal had to solve each of the faces to be able to read the wish).
Hal also started to get to know the old Hal. Robot Hal tried to understand what kind of person Hal was back then..
Hal and Kurumi started hanging out again and went to a festival together.
After having fun, a guy by the name of Ryu who is supposedly Hal's friend showed up. He expressed his desire to sell Kurumi..
Hal and Kurumi ran from Ryu and his apparently gangster-like friends.
While running away, Kurumi fell in a gushing river, and it was also raining hard.
I will end my story-telling right here, since anything beyond this scene will be huge spoilers. I think the beauty of this movie is the plot twist because right there, the reality of this story was revealed. Even in this advanced society, there is the existence of humanly feelings of regret, depression, and love. The reality in the story reveals the true essence of it, which is supposed to be telling a story of love between these two people who became victims of a harsh fate.
That's all I can say about this movie. It gave me the chills, and the feeling of finding the meaning of life upon watching it. I'm not even exaggerating.
