I'm perfectly fine with there being no hug. Both showed to have a mutual understanding without having it overstay its welcome or being too sappy.

You're making it seem like she was completely aged and unable to take care of herself. By the time the two children leave, she's still a pretty young mother who's shown to be strong. She's not using a crane who can barely move around and she still has a lot of life to her. A time comes when everyone young chick has to leave the nest, and the mutual understanding came off as very genuine and humane. It's kind of like saying a kid leaving home to go to college while the parents are back is leaving them to rot and die, which is not true at all.

You're completely glossing over things I've said or completely misunderstanding.

I'm talking about THE FUTURE. Yeah, she is fine now! But the end of the movie makes things so unclear as to if either kid has much to do with her after. Of course kids mature and leave home someday, I understand that. This is about IF THEY EVER COME BACK. I don't care if one kid is a wolf, he's close enough that he could just pop in and see his mom, if only for a brief moment. The girl decided to live as a human, so she better take the time to go see her every once in awhile. Do you mean to say you don't even have contact with your own parents? I

That's a big house Hana lives in and she has a lot of responsibility taking care of such a large garden. Most people who live up there are older than her except for a few young mothers. If more people don't move up there, things will get harder since their isn't a caring community to help one another out.

I just didn't like the whole "and she's still up there all alone and smiling" ending line.

We obviously view this two different ways, so I don't see a point in continuing. I don't see things your way at all and you don't get mine. I just don't like it that we don't ever see the kids returning the favor for how much Hana struggled, but I guess that's because I care too much about my own mother who raised me by herself. That trailer we lived in was getting worse and worse so I bought this house we live in more for her than anything. We don't always get along, but I want her to do less now after how she's done and take care of her.
