Hoshi ni Natta Shonen

Another great movie to watch. This movie is based on the real story of Sakamoto Tetsumu, Japan's first mahout (elephant tamer in Thai). Tetsumu grew up in a family with lots of animals since his mom supply animals for movies and CMs. Though he loves animals yet his relationship with his family was not that good. Then he met with an elephant called Randy. With Randy, Tetsumu developed a strong friendship and realized his talent in connecting with elephant. Thus Tetsumu embarked his journey to Thailand as the first Japanese trained to become a mahout. A very touching life story. I come to know this movie because I read the manga first and I literally cried but definitely this will touch your heart.
