Desperate, Ren runs away to the mean streets of Shibuya to try and survive on his own. His mother has passed away in a traffic accident, his father is nowhere to be found, and his extended family is cold and distant. For nine-year-old Ren, things could hardly be worse. The tale of a boy and a beast: both lonely, both stubborn, and both strong. It is based on a lot of traditional values within Japanese culture. You need to pay attention to some of the details during the movie or the end might not make much sense. He realizes that he can move between their world and ours and starts to grow and discover more about himself and the two worlds. He ends up bonding with one kind of rough guy and the beast ends up training him on how to fight and become his apprentice. While on the street, he follows some odd fellows and discovers that they are really beasts/animals that actually walk on hind legs and talk. I love this movie.Ī boy whose mother dies when he is 9 has somewhat cruel family members who will have to look after him. I bought this movie based on a recommendation from a librarian.
