This dialogue collects all the beautiful meaning of the movie but let's focus for a moment on Yori's "sorry I lied".
That child dared to disobey his own father and incur his punishment, again, just for Minato! These kids want so much to be together, freely and simply. They just want to be themselves with someone who truly understands them and to express their care. They want to never have to ask permission again. Why the social stigma shouldn't have let them experience their first love, their true identity?
And finally in the end they both let go of the shame. They no longer ask permission and accept themselves as they are.
- MONSTER (2023), dir. by Hirokazu Kore'eda

怪物
[MONSTER]
Hirokazu Kore-eda, 2023
starts ruthless and cruel as a blade and ends in an unbearably sublime poem.
perfect in so many ways & different levels of interpretation that I don't know where to start.
