 Review Suzume

Suzume is a film by Makoto Shinkai, the visionary director of Your Name. and Weathering with You. It is an animation action adventure fantasy that follows the journey of a 17-year-old girl named Suzume, who helps a mysterious young man close doors from the other side that are releasing disasters all over Japan. The film was released on April 14, 2023, and has received positive reviews from critics and audience.

The film is a coming-of-age story that explores the themes of identity, destiny, and courage. Suzume is a quiet and ordinary girl who lives in a small town in Kyushu. She has a close relationship with her mother, Tamaki, who is a famous novelist. One day, she meets a handsome and mysterious young man named Souta, who is looking for doors that lead to another world. 

He tells her that he is a descendant of the Munakata clan, a family of doorkeepers who have the duty of closing the doors that cause calamities in the human world. He also reveals that Suzume is the reincarnation of his ancestor, Tsubame, who was the first doorkeeper and the love of his life. He asks Suzume to join him on his quest to find and close the doors, and she agrees, feeling a strange connection to him and his mission.

The film takes the viewers on a thrilling and emotional ride, as Suzume and Souta travel across Japan, encountering various doors that lead to different times and places. They face dangers, challenges, and enemies, such as the ruthless Daijin, who wants to open all the doors and unleash chaos in the world. They also meet allies, such as Rumi, a cheerful and energetic girl who runs a cat cafe, and Minoru, a genius hacker who helps them track the doors. Along the way, Suzume learns more about herself, her past, and her destiny. She also has feelings for Souta, who is torn between his duty and his love for her.

The film is a visual masterpiece, with stunning animation, vibrant colors, and breathtaking scenery. The film showcases the beauty and diversity of Japan, from the rural landscapes of Kyushu, to the urban metropolis of Tokyo, to the historical sites of Kyoto. The film also features a captivating soundtrack, composed by RADWIMPS, the same band that worked on Your Name. and Weathering with You. The film’s theme song, “Suzume no Tojimari” (The Sparrow’s Closure), is a powerful and catchy tune that expresses the film’s message of hope and love.

Suzume is a film that will appeal to fans of Makoto Shinkai, as well as anyone who enjoys a good adventure, fantasy, and romance. The film is a perfect blend of action, humor, drama, and heart. The film has a strong and relatable heroine, a charming and mysterious hero, and a compelling and original plot.
