A Silent Voice

I recently watched a movie called “A Silent Voice”. It is a 2016 anime movie that tells the story of Shouya Ishida and Shoko Nishimiya, two students who struggle with bullying, disability, and the consequences of their actions. The film is a powerful and emotional story that explores themes of redemption, friendship, and the pain of being different in a society that often punishes instead of understanding.

The main character, Shouya Ishida is a 12-year-old boy who becomes a bully and starts terrorizing a girl named Shoko Nishimiya, who is deaf. He makes fun of her and even steals her hearing aid, which leads to her falling into a river and being hospitalized. When Shouya grows up, he becomes extremely remorseful for his actions and takes steps to make amends.  One thing that makes of “A Silent Voice” stand out is the attention given to the character development of both Shouya and Shoko. Both are complex characters with their own struggles, and we see them grow and change throughout the film. Shouya, in particular, goes on a remarkable journey of self-discovery, learning the true meaning of forgiveness and how to make amends for his past actions. His story is a powerful reminder of the consequences of actions, both for ourselves and for those around us.

The animation in A Silent Voice is stunning, with an amazing soundtrack and beautiful visuals that complement the emotional story.

Overall, A Silent Voice is a must-watch for anyone who loves anime, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience a deep and emotional story. It’s a beautiful movie with a lot of heart that almost anyone can relate to in some shape or form. It will make you smile, cry, and think deeply about your own life and the impact you’ll leave on those around you. You’ll come away from it with a deeper understanding of the power of empathy and redemption.
