It’s been three months since I’ve watched an anime and wasn’t this a good depute. Yeah it had it’s, beauty and the beast -esque moments. But damn, that was good.
The movie really sucked at continuity. Sometimes things happened out of nowhere and I’m here scratching my head trying to piece together what the hell happened.
At around the one hour mark, I was like. Hm, good movie. It seems like a reimagined Disney movie doesn’t it.
Then the two hour mark hits and I’m here sitting at the edge of my seat. I love what the movie was getting at. It was wayy more than a Disney knockoff. It’s a story that can stand on it’s own two feet.
Watching this reminded me of my parents. When I was a kid I used to love doing things in secret. It had a certain kick to it. I’m not talking about any mischievous stuff. Just plain old things, like starting to love a new sport. More often than not, I’d never tell my parent about it. It’s not that I didn’t trust them either. I simply didn’t want them to worry too much about me.
As much as I tried to keep what I loved hidden. As time went on. I got to know that my parents knew nearly everything about my secret adventures. They pretend to not know just to let me enjoy my freedom.
With time I started to grow more and more confident in myself. I started to let my feelings and desires color the clothes I wore, rather than trying to hide them under a cloak. It’s this kind of maturity Suzu went through when she decided to show her real self. Rather than hiding behind a mask. She exposed all her feelings.
Guess Suzu and I share some things in common huh. Except for the singing part. I suck at it.
After more than half a year after watching it I just found out that the main girl of Beauty and the Beast’s name is Belle. Mind blown.
