MAN OF CINEMA
Based on AJ Dungo's autobiographical graphic novel, In Waves is a classic tear
jerker for those who love emotional love stories which talk about destiny, resilience, care, dreams and sacrifice.
The film follows AJ, a shy skateboarder, and Kristen, a passionate surfer whose love story unfolds along the sunny coast of Southern California. As Kristen introduces AJ to the ocean and surfing culture and hinstory of hawaian origins, their relationship grows into a moving story about love, identity, resilience, loss and grief.
We have seen similar stories before, but what makes this film so beautiful is its animation style and how it tells the love story, it just not showcase an emotional love story, it also ties it with ancestry, the culture and the sheer passion for dreams and how it feels when those dreams shatter. It also has beautiful transitions which you will absolutely love. And the fact that it's a true story, it only aches your heart imagining the pain and love they both shared for each other.
It very well explores the joy of finding your love, the courage to live life to the fullest, and the enduring power of love to shape who we are and what we leave behind as memories for others to cherish and inspire.
