A film you must watch
This movie was truly inspiring to watch, I felt so many emotional and learn so much from the characters in this film, trust me you will enjoy the film, you can't help but want to know how it all turns out in the end. I didn't regret watching and even encourage others to watch. It is based on a girl who wore hearing aids but went through bullying, the children have all grew up, one kid that used to bully her had grew up and he is more mature minded now. He still regret how he behave in his past when he was a kid, but now all grown up and want to re learn from his mistakes, he make efforts to learn sign language and built up courage to become a better person, the story goes on of them all finding each other and begin to form friendship again and everyone no longer holding on to the heavy weight of pressure but to finally feel fullfilled and resolved the matters and accepted a peaceful date encounter for them. - Grafite - 11 January 2024
An intelligent and engaging story
Got reccomended this Youtube video with a still of a woman on a balcony at night illuminated by fireworks. Many people in the comments were talking about how beautiful and depressing the movie in question was. Since psychological drama is my favorite genre, I watched it.
Despite more relevance in recent years, I don't think too many media openly deals with the subject of depression/s-icide, and if they do, it's not in a realistic manner, so it was a new experience for me. I'm glad I watched it, it's beautifully animated and the situations presented real.
One of those great surprises that I had no idea about beforehand, and glad I know of now. If nothing more, I think the theme of hitting rock bottom and slowly, but steadily turning yourself back around is a very powerful one.
