Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Movie -Rebellion-
| After watching it again, I really liked how many parts of the story parallels with the nutcracker story and how that elucidates some of Homura's feelings. As the nutcracker witch, she is broken and without a head; Homura unable to save Madoka, a nutcracker unable to crack nuts. Her execution represents an acceptance of the current status quo, where Madoka is erased from human existence. She pleads Madoka to toss her aside, the broken nutcracker that she is. But as Clara does in the nutcracker, Madoka fixes the nutcracker, giving hope to Homura to reach for a new solution. And sure enough, as a nutcracker once again made whole, Homura cracks open the melon and plunges the entire world into a sweet dream, just as the nutcracker brings Clara into the doll kingdom. |

Nice opinion, I like it. |
