The Anime That Tore My Heart Apart

 A Silent Voice.

Despite this being one of the most popular anime movies and saddest, this has gotta be my number 1 saddest movie of all time out of all of anime and non-anime that I've watched. This movie actually made me cry for days to the fact that I couldn't even breathe. Everything. The animation, the cinematography, the plot, and how it was portrayed was just..beautiful. Although, this movie portrays what's happening real world such as social anxiety, depression, and bullying and it'll make you think about the aspects of life.

Cinematography

"Remember the past, Improve the Now"

If I could describe this movie, it would be "Remember the past, Improve the Now" You see, at the beginning of the movie where it shows them as elementary school kids you can see young Shoya Ishida, one of the main characters bullying a deaf girl named Shouko Nishimiya however other classmates were bullying her also. This causes Shouko to move to another school and Shoya to lose friends. Fast forward when they're all grown up to teenagers. Shoya became more mature and responsible, on the other hand, he was dealing with depression, anxiety, and isolation. Later in the movie, Shoya and Shouko have reunited again, making Shouko try to connect with Shoya and apologize to her for what he did in the past.

The moral of the lesson of this whole movie is three things. One is the way we treat others can affect our lives just as the way others treat us. Secondly, it's never to late apologize for your wrongs even from a long time ago. Lastly, learn how to forgive yourself and improve for the better. That's why "Remember the past, Improve the now." Also, this movie doesn't just give a lesson, it portrays a beautiful point of the real world. Most scenes that you've seen are happening in the real world. Others who have not watched it should watch it if you ever dealt with social anxiety or bullying.
