Main points of
the story |
The Great War finally came to an end
after four long years of conflict; fractured in two, the continent of Telesis
slowly began to flourish once again. Caught up in the bloodshed was Violet
Evergarden, a young girl raised for the sole purpose of decimating enemy
lines. Hospitalized and maimed in a bloody skirmish during the War's final
leg, she was left with only words from the person she held dearest, but with
no understanding of their meaning. Recovering from her wounds, Violet
starts a new life working at CH Postal Services after a falling out with her
new intended guardian family. There, she witnesses by pure chance the work of
an "Auto Memory Doll," amanuenses that transcribe people's thoughts
and feelings into words on paper. Moved by the notion, Violet begins work as
an Auto Memory Doll, a trade that will take her on an adventure, one that
will reshape the lives of her clients and hopefully lead to self-discovery. |

Main points of
the story |
Several years have passed since the end
of The Great War. As the radio tower in Leidenschaftlich continues to be
built, telephones will soon become more relevant, leading to a decline in
demand for "Auto Memory Dolls." Even so, Violet Evergarden
continues to rise in fame after her constant success with writing letters.
However, sometimes the one thing you long for is the one thing that does not
appear. Violet Evergarden Movie follows Violet
as she continues to comprehend the concept of emotion and the meaning of
love. At the same time, she pursues a glimmer of hope that the man who once
told her, "I love you," may still be alive even after the many
years that have passed. |

Main points of
the story |
Maquia is a member of a special race
called the Iorph—mystical beings who can live for hundreds of years and
remain separate from the lives and daily troubles of mankind. However, Maquia
has always felt lonely despite being surrounded by her people, as she was orphaned
from a young age. She daydreams about the outside world, but dares not travel
from her home due to the warnings of the clan's chief. One day however, the outside world
finds her, as the power-hungry kingdom of Mezarte invades her homeland. They
already have what is left of the giant dragons, the Renato, under their
control, and now their king wishes to add the immortality of the Iorph to his
bloodline. The humans and their Renato ravage the
Iorph homeland and kill most of its inhabitants. Caught in the midst of the
attack, Maquia is carried off by one of the Renato that has gone berserk. It
soon dies, and she is left deserted in a forest far from home, now truly
alone save for the cries of a single baby off in the distance. Maquia finds
the baby in a destroyed village and decides to raise him as her own, naming
him Ariel. Although she knows nothing of the human world, how to raise a
child that ages much faster than her, or how to live with the smoldering
loneliness inside, she is determined to make it all work somehow. |

Dreams are doomed to die in Night City,
a futuristic Californian metropolis. As a teenager living in the city's
slums, David Martinez is trying to fulfill his mother's lifelong wish for him
to reach the top of Arasaka, the world's leading security corporation. To
this end, he attends the prestigious Arasaka Academy while his mother works
tirelessly to keep their family afloat. When an incident with a street gang
leaves David's life in tatters, he stumbles upon Sandevistan cyberware—a
prosthetic that grants its wearer superhuman speed. Fueled by rage, David
implants the device in his back, using it to exact revenge on one of his
tormentors. This gets him expelled from the academy, shattering his hopes of
ever making his mother proud. After witnessing David's newfound
abilities, the beautiful data thief Lucyna "Lucy" Kushinada offers
to team up with him, handing him a ticket to salvation. However, associating
with Lucy introduces David to the world of Edgerunners—cyborg criminals who
will break any law for money. Edgerunners often lose their lives, if the
cyberware does not break their minds first; but in his fight for survival
inside a corrupt system, David is ready to risk it all. |

In Kathmandu, the sorcerer Kaecilius
and his zealots enter the secret compound Kamar-Taj and behead its librarian.
They steal several pages from a book belonging to the Ancient One, a
long-lived sorcerer who has taught every student at Kamar-Taj, including
Kaecilius, in the mystic arts. The Ancient One pursues the traitors, but
Kaecilius and his followers escape. In New York City, Dr. Stephen Strange,
a wealthy and acclaimed, yet arrogant neurosurgeon, severely injures his
hands in a car crash while en route to a speaking conference, leaving him
permanently unable to operate. Fellow surgeon Christine Palmer tries to help
him move on, but Strange vainly pursues experimental surgeries to heal his
hands. Strange learns about Jonathan Pangborn, a paraplegic who mysteriously
regained use of his legs. Pangborn directs Strange to Kamar-Taj, where he is
taken in by Mordo, a sorcerer under the Ancient One. The Ancient One
demonstrates her power to Strange, revealing the astral plane and other
dimensions such as the Mirror Dimension. She reluctantly agrees to train
Strange, whose arrogance and ambition remind her of Kaecilius. |

Doctor Strange is a pleasantly
ridiculous movie with lots of comedy hidden behind all the reality-distorting
spectacular effects and high-flying action, in part because of its charming
combination and despite its serious goals. |

The eponymous
character, a retired hitman, pursues vengeance against the Russian mobsters
who killed his pet dog, a present from his recently deceased wife, in the
film "John Wick." The film follows John Wick as he uses his lethal
skills to bring down the merciless criminal organization and avenge his pet's
death. Along the way, he confronts obstacles from other assassins and
attempts to navigate the complicated underworld of assassins and criminals.
The film is ultimately a fast-paced action thriller with themes of vengeance,
atonement, and loyalty. |

stylish action
sequences, intense fight scenes, engaging storyline And the world-building.
The movies take place in a fictional criminal underworld with its own set of
rules and traditions, which adds depth and complexity to the story. |
I want to be seen as John Wick's loyal friend. He
seems very lonely, and I admire his confidence and fearlessness. John Wick
exudes these traits, and I would like to cultivate them myself. Additionally, I
appreciate his independence and self-reliance as a lone wolf who doesn't need
anyone else to get the job done.
