Review of Suzume
"Goodbye and Welcome" The whole story of suzume no tojimari is about meeting and parting, the door itself is the depiction of meeting and parting, and the key in this movie is how we feel about parting and meeting. "Daijin" the white cat is a depiction of separation and "Sadaijin" the black cat is a depiction of meeting. and meeting and separation cannot be separated because they are interconnected because if one of them cannot be accepted it will cause damage just like the worms in this movie. For visuals somehow I'm not too surprised because of the previous 2 movies but what makes me likethis movie more than the previous 2 is the more mature character design.
Story somehow the story formula is still 11 12 with kimi no nawa and it seems that makoto still can't escape from writing stories like this, but because the story explains more about farewells and meetings I feel this is a little better even though the plot is really easy to guess.
For BGM, I like the game song performed by radwimps and toaka, which unfortunately is not accompanied by a memorable scene like in kimi no nawa when the meteor falls with sparkle BGM, but I really like the scene in the car while performing Japanese city pop songs.
Overall this is a better movie than the previous 2 movies but still not the best movie ever made by Makoto Shinkai because it still uses the same formula as the previous movie.
