Very late to this as usual, but watched The Boy and The Heron (君たちは どう生きるか, How do you live your life) tonight.

What a brilliant film. And because in my Japanese evening class we're currently covering 敬語 (keigo, honorific speech), I think my ears started picking it up everywhere. Things like 奥様が部屋にいらっしゃらないんですよ, and when the great uncle tells Mahito to look at the stones he says ご覧 (look) rather than 見て, I couldn't help thinking "yeah, we just learned that" 😅. Still feel like (and am) very much a beginner, but it's nice when some things fall into place.

But I digress, it's a great film regardless of your Japanese knowledge, or lack of it.
