Three minutes to watch the blockbuster: "The Shape of Sound" is another phenomenon film in Japan after "Your Name", which has been praised by director Makoto Shinkai, and won two blockbuster awards for best animation and best screenplay in the "Tokyo Animation Awards 2017" awards. So the question is, why did it surpass last year's box office champion "Your Name" to win such a big award? Let's take a look at what the movie says.
A sixth-grade boy who hates "boredom", Ishida Shoya, is curious about nishimiya Glass, a newly transferred girl with hearing impairments, and at first only teases her for the sake of Glass's hearing impairment, and then feels quite disgusted because he thinks that the existence of glass will bring chaos to the class, and even more intensifies from time to time to take the lead in bullying Glass in the class.
Because of the destruction of 8 glass hearing aids, the mother of glass complained to the school and was pushed by the teacher and classmates to put the responsibility on herself, and she was forced to bear the liability for compensation alone (a total of 1.7 million yen), and since then she has become the target of bullying by her originally good classmates, and then misunderstood glass's kindness to him and quarreled with him, causing Glass to change schools again.
After Glass transferred schools, he found that Glass had been bullying him to erase the graffiti on the table and regretted what he had done. In middle school, he was also ostracized by his classmates because of the bullying incident in elementary school, and in high school, he also chose to isolate himself, and finally had the idea of suicide.
In order to repay Glass for the sins he had hurt her in the past before he died, he finally found the sign language classroom that Glass usually went to, met Glass and returned the notebook he used to write and talk in elementary school, subconsciously expressed to Glass that he wanted to become friends with her, and unconsciously dispelled the idea of suicide, and Glass had always had a crush on him.
In the process of the two slowly becoming friends, the person who disappeared before reappeared, Glass felt that he was not worthy of the general and felt remorseful because he once again caused him trouble, and wanted to jump off the building to commit suicide, and will also rush in time to save Glass, but he was injured and hospitalized. Glass dispelled the idea of self-destruction, and will also decide to bravely face the crowd, and finally everyone achieves reconciliation with each other and themselves.
This is the story of the original work that has not been deleted, and although the domestic release version has details to change, it is basically correct in the understanding of the original work. This is a story of redemption and understanding, and the theme of the work is that people should understand each other through mutual communication, and that a person cannot exist.
Compared with the beautifully produced CG animation "Your Name", its moving point is not in the delicate picture, the right soundtrack (although it is also well done in this regard), but in the core of the story, even if you have not experienced school bullying, you must be able to appreciate the motivation of each character and its psychological activities, the feeling of wanting to be understood and acknowledged.
Whether it is the glass who cannot hear by the ear, who cannot communicate with people normally but still insists on kindness, or the shoya who is victimized by his evil deeds and wants to reform himself, or the Ueno who likes Ishida and teases the glass, or the Sahara classmate who suddenly disappears as a coward, each of them is beautiful because of the truth, which is also the biggest charm of "The Shape of Sound".
"We live in the vast universe, the floating cosmic dust and galactic light dust, we are even smaller than these beings. You don't know when life suddenly changes direction and falls into inky darkness. You are dragged into the abyss by disappointment, you are dragged into the grave by disease, you are trampled by setbacks, you are ridiculed, ridiculed, hated, resented, abandoned. But we always keep hope in our hearts and keep a heart that is not willing to give up. We are still struggling a little in great despair. This mood of not wanting to give up, they become little stars of boundless darkness. We are all little stars. ”
This is a passage in "Little Times", sometimes we need to believe something, even if you are isolated at the moment, you need to believe that the next moment there will be someone coming, there will be warmth, and it is these people you have to be grateful for.
Not everyone has the opportunity to make friends.
At that time, I pulled a hand, thank you.
