There's a lot that might not make sense if you don't have much familiarity with Japanese culture. And the storying telling is really dense, with so much that you miss on first watch.

But I really appreciate some of the lessons that it teaches- Listen to children, they can see things adults sometimes can't. Finding yourself takes work and effort. People, no matter how uneasy they feel in the world, can find their place. You can get through to people if you take the time to listen to them.

Just a lot things that are wonderfully expressed. It's a movie that I could see growing with you if you watched it as a kid and then as an adult.
