Minority Mindset

Many recent anime remakes rely on viewers’ fond memories of the original shows. Some are praised for staying true to the source material, like the manga they’re based on, while others are criticized for not offering anything new or worthwhile.

Directed by Josh Boone, known for The Fault in Our Stars, Regretting You centers on Morgan and Clara. Their relationship strains after the unexpected death of Morgan’s husband and Clara’s father, Chris, and Morgan’s sister, Jenny. The film delves into how grief, long-held resentments, and family trauma affect their lives and make it hard for them to find their way back to each other.

Being on a yacht for a TV show isn’t the ideal setting to grieve – it’s cramped, full of strangers, and constantly filmed, plus you have to keep up appearances. However, these very conditions also quickly create strong emotional connections, which is how relationships form on reality TV. Cathy admits the yacht, the Bravado, is exactly where she needs to be right now, but as usual, she hides her feelings. She jokes about having Botox to help her keep a straight face. It’s comforting to see her surrounded by genuine care from Max and the crew, and it restores your faith in people, even after witnessing some negative behavior.
