Wolf Children - Married Life

THIS VIDEO IS NOT FOR KIDS! It is a fan made music video for older audiences. Content warning that involves the scene of a parent's death.
This was a runner-up in the Drama category in the SMASH AMV competition this year - the same contest I entered last year with my video "It's Gonna be Okay."
For the concept of this vid, I put down in the form that the beginning of Wolf Children has always reminded me a lot of the beginning in Up. The characters got to know each other and fall in love, and then one passed on...I thought the tone of this instrumental fit in well with Wolf Children since the two movies share a few similarities.
I had to have SMASH pick which category, because I wasn't sure if it should go in Fun or Drama and they picked Drama for me, lol xD
Thanks for another great contest!

[@thefanvideoer2]

I've been getting a lot of questions about this, so here's the answer. The movie is called "Wolf Children" as it literally says in the title of this video, and the song is called "Married Life" from the Pixar movie Up. You can find Wolf Children on Amazon: www.amazon.com/Wolf-Children-Colleen-Clinkenbeard/dp/B00ENNO1E6/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2MAIVM7NKUVKG&keywords=wolf+children&qid=1659804162&sprefix=wolf+childre%2Caps%2C225&sr=8-3

[@mascotwithadinosaur9353]

I love how when I watched this movie with my mom, she didn't seem at all upset with the ending. She didn't say that either kid seemed ungrateful. I had read so many comments of ppl saying that the kids left her behind or took her for granted, but when I brought up the movie again to my mom, she went "Her son is king of the forest so now she can roam the forest freely because her son will protect her" and I thought that was just so wholesome. I also noticed that, when Hana says to Ame "I haven't done anything for you", then Ame runs back into the forest and howls, that's his way of saying that she helped him become his own person and that he's grateful for all the sacrifice she's done for him. Hana understood that, which is why she smiles. Both kids are grateful in the end. I mean just imagine them in vacations together roaming the forest and running around and having fun. Sure, now they're all on their own, but that doesn't mean they completely left each other and I think that's what the movie implies.

[@Ari-rf9bu]

Awww that’s so sweet of ur mom! My mom would watch the first 10 seconds, say “oh that’s nice” and go back to doing computer work 😂 and I agree, I don’t think that they were ungrateful, they just wanted to be independent!

What I never understood was why they would just throw him away like that?! Aren't they interested in why there's a wolf here when there shouldn't be any in the wild? I would've thought there would be a big interest and they would take him in for testing or something.

[@C7y323]

Yeah, a singular wolf in urban city usually means it was being raised illegally as a pet.

[@FramboiseLFC]

When I took my 2-year 1/2 old son to the cinema to watch this movie in September 2012, I hadn't watched any trailer or anything so I really didn't know what to expect. All I knew was that we were going through a hard time and I literally welcomed any excuse to escape reality. So when the husband died and my son whispered "Is he dead?" with a worried look on his face, that was too much. My husband had committed suicide two weeks before and I needed something to take my mind off things, not a cruel reminder of what had just happened. I hated myself for imposing this to my son. I should have read a synopsis. I offered him to leave but he said he liked the movie and insisted on staying. And I'm glad he did. You have no idea how much this movie helped me at that time of my life. It was actually just what I needed to watch. I was so scared of the future. I was so scared not being able to raise my son on my own. Hana is so brave and never gives up, and she inspired me so much. I left the cinema thinking "Keep your chin up. You can do this. And instead of crying over what you have lost, be happy with what you have". I owe this movie so much… This movie is also a beautiful metaphor of what being a parent should be: while always doing your best to raise your children, you have to keep in mind that they don't "belong" to you. You raise them so that one day, they are old enough to make their own choices and even if those are not the choices you would have hoped for, if that's what makes them happy, you'll have to respect that and let them stand on their own two feet. That being said, my son is nearly 10 now and I'm not in a hurry to see him "try his own wings"... We've been living on our own for the last seven years and our bond is really strong, but he knows that whatever the choices he'll make in his life (career, hobbies, religion, sexual orientation… whatever!), I'll always be there for him and will always support him. Anyway, I talk too much, sorry. Thank you for that beautiful video. The choice of song is really spot on and it surely strikes a chord…

[@carsfan1995]

Fantony - FramboiseLFC - When I watched the movie, it always makes me think of my own mom and her love and support for my sisters and I. On Mother's Day weekend of 2018 I we had a movie night and showed her this movie and she also loved it and was hurt by the husband dying. I am so sorry what happened to you, but happy you could pull through. I can't imagine how this the beginning of this movie made you feel on first watch after your husband's own death. But I'm glad this movie helped you and made you believe you can get through this. You became your own Hana, raising your toddler by yourself after losing your husband. You were scared, felt alone, worried for yourself and your kid. But you became a hero and pulled through. Your child is still a young boy, but one day he'll go, but he'll know you have his support and love. People say "it's just movie" but it can still leave an impact. Your story is beautiful and I wish you a happy ending.

[@animuauntie]

My mil is in her 60's and is not exactly the kind of person who would watch an anime. My husband lent this movie to her and she called him in tears saying she loved it. My husband was about Yuki's age when his father died in a train accident. His mom is my hero, raising a dozen kids and step kids, and dozens more grandkids. It's been 30 years and she still loves him and misses him so much. I'm so grateful to have her help as I'm having my first child in 2 months, even if I don't think I could ever measure up to being half the mother she is. You are an awesome mom and your son is lucky to have you. I'm sorry you both have had to go through so much.

I've seen wolf children probably 8 times, and everytime it has touched me in such a deep meaningful way. Hana and the children do have to overcome osvtacles but above all else she was a good loving mother, she never complained and never gave up on them. She had to come to terms early that her children were leaving her, and to see her so content and fulfilled with that future is bittersweet.

[@anxiouspotato04]

A A H H H H the ending still makes me cry so much. both her children end up leaving to pursure their own lives and identities. you can see hana hesitate, but she lets go. even though the only things she has left of her lover are her children, a drivere license and memories, she lets go. hana is the best portrayal of a mom for me and no one has ever come close to beating her

[@Kumo5980]

At least he’s happy, know this, Ame is doing what he wants to be, remember what the wolfman said they’ll find their path and ame did, and Yuki did too, they still connect with their mom too in the manga actually ame would visit and leave a fruit for her and Yuki on the other hand sent letters to her and on holidays, she visits maybe ame could visit on a holiday too!😊, because one thing that ma tell me every day is nobody loves you more then your mother!🥰

[@someperson6200]

[@runway5338]

adrian botello that’s relieving to hear. I figured Yuki would have greater chances of staying in touch w/ her, but I wasn’t sure about Ame since it seemed like he sort of just disappeared into the wild. Nice to see the familial bond still going strong. She was such a caring mother, doing everything she can to protect them from harm b/c they’re werewolves, but also trying to prepare them for the world and for their own, independent living b/c she can’t be there to shield the world from them forever. I think a lot of parents can relate: wondering if what they did was right, if what they did was enough, if they’re kids are at least happy in life.

She looks at her husband's ID picture and she gazes outside their house and hears his son's howl from the mountains and smiles happily. This is something we all get to experience in life. Children eventually growing up and moving away from their parents for their dreams. We should all cherish every moment we have with our family.
