Shinekon e Ikou! (2022)

Enchanting Cinema

Going to the movies always feels like going into a really dramatic daydream for me. Action, heartbreak, suspense, horror, epic drama, the list could go on forever! This story is not at all what I thought it would be, in fact it exceeded my expectations in every way..... and then some!

At first I thought this would be about "the movies", then I thought it would be about "the theater", and it was about both (in a way) but in all honesty, this story was so much more than just what you see on its surface. Watching the "behind the scenes" work was truly fascinating, I've never seen any style like this before or anything similar. I know other shows that go in to detail, but this show really went above and beyond to make sure the customers (and viewers) not only understood the process of theaters, movies, and the behind the scenes workings, but the details of each job. Watching such an attention to detail, thrilling, hilarious, heartwarming show was very charming and left me feeling very warm and fuzzy; especially the last episode.


Going to theaters is sort of tricky right now, considering Covid-19 is still out there, but watching this show made me feel like I was a part of something bigger than myself to create this lovely dream world of movies and stories for the customers to enjoy. Each episode really focused well on the hard work it takes to run a business, but also the importance of taking care of the staff so they can take care of the business and the customers; it was really amazing to see how each staff member grew as a person to better understand how to fulfill their job and as a member of a team. There were not a lot of cheesy dramatics, but the reactions of a few of the staff were absolutely real, honest, and genuine. I love seeing a genuine, hard working climb-to-the-top story!
