Monday blues are always something we felt through our lives. The start of the week is always the day you have to get yourself prepared for the rest and hype yourself up.
This is why I am deciding to do a Movie Monday. Today, I will suggest some movies to watch sometime over this week as we just need that small entertainment to keep us going sometimes.
Without dragging this further, here are the recommendations!
Your Name
Your Name is an animated movie that grabs your attention with everything it possibly can. The characters are entertaining and take you along as their characters develop slowly along with the plot. The story follows two young characters who end up waking up in each other’s body. As the boy and girl switch bodies, they figure out how to live in each other’s lives and learn more about their different cultures. My main issues with this movie are following some anime tropes early in the movie that would push people away, but I think the story in the end makes up for it.
Other than the story and the characters, the movie still has a lot to offer. The movie has powerful animation that has scenes that captivate you and elevate the experience. There are many scenes in this movie that are flat out gorgeous. There is a lot to enjoy from this movie and I think it’s worth watching this week.
A Silent Voice
Are you looking for a movie that will tug at your heartstrings as you watch until the credits roll? This is that kind of movie. The movie follows a boy as he grows up regretting his actions after bullying a deaf girl. The movie tackles serious topics such as bullying and depression so it may be difficult to watch but it is very powerful.
There is a lot I can say about this movie but to withhold spoiling, I will say it is one that shows human growth. After you watch this movie, you will either love it or hate it, but it will get you talking for a bit. Just seeing how human characters are shows how flawed we all are as humans, but those flaws should not define who you are.
As a side note, one of my favorite things about this movie is that they have a deaf voice actress which establishes a much stronger connection to the character.
These are my recommendations for the week, and I hope that if you watch you will enjoy them! If you hate them that is fine too and we can talk about what you hated instead!
Really looking forward to viewing this movie that is something outside of what I normally would watch
I really like that the movie's you suggest aren't live action. I don't think many people have anime recommendation sites, so I love that!
I like this idea of treating oneself to escapism through movies, and okay, this is the third time I have heard about A Silent Voice, so I guess I am going to have to check it out. Thanks for the thoughtful reviews.
