Was it really the last scene? Wasn't the beginning in fact the end? I noticed this recently, in the start he says, 'It was before the war, when the huge island called Ezo was still a foreign territory'. Wouldn't it stop being foreign after the end, after he throws the missile? What war is he talking about here? It cant be WW II. I am confused He does look bigger in the beginning, as in, a working adult and not in school They show Tokyo I think and then he is visitng his hometown reminiscing the past.
Where in the time-line does the beginning fit? This makes the beginning the end, and hence sad...I don't want one of my favourite movies to become sad suddenly

But the narration seems to agree with you. At least he is speaking in the present tense after 3 yrs. So I must have not understood something... Can someone please explain what he says at the beginning and if he looks older than a school boy?
