The Fourth of July is all about fireworks, so some may think that the movie in theaters this week for just three days – “Fireworks” – is about Independence Day. It isn’t.
Akiyuki Shimbô and Nobuyuki Takeuchi’s anime tells the story of two teenage boys in love with the same girl. On the day of a big fireworks display, the girl, who is unhappy with her life, finds a magical item that changes her life.
“Fireworks” will be shown Tuesday and Thursday, July 3 and 5, at 7 p.m. (Japanese with subtitles) and Saturday, July 7, at 12:55 p.m. (dubbed) at Cinemark Buckland Hills, 99 RedStone Road in Manchester; Regal Brass Mill, 495 Union St. in Waterbury; Regal Branford, 325 E. Main St.; AMC Danbury 16, 61 Eagle Road; and Regal Stonington, 85 Voluntown Road in Pawcatuck.
