I did like the music in this movie, it was interesting how it mashed the songs together and I thought the acting was believable. They did not give enough time to really develop the love triangles since the confession at the end was surprising to me since they gave little time to the two of them developing affection for each other. I have not seen the anime so maybe they express things differently and in a more realistic way that the movie doesn’t seem to cover? I did enjoy the characters and the love triangles were interesting. Also I don’t really think that she has never tried to sing anything until high school, to me that seems impossible to think you would never sing along to a jingle or song, even by accident. I know that psychological help is taboo in Japan it still doesn’t seem that realistic.
I don’t think a school would be able to have a student that doesn’t speak without wanting to get her help. The idea that since she was a child she has not been able to speak and her Mother just seems angry at her but doesn’t deal with the problem by getting her help. So there are parts of this movie that are interesting and compelling but it seems super unrealistic. She want to refuse but she hears Takumi making music and she feels compelled to join the committee and take part in creating a musical that could express her thoughts and what is stuck in her heart. Once she attends high school people seem to just ignore her until she is forced to join a committee by her teacher. After that whenever she tries to speak she is plagued by a terrible stomachache. The premise of the story is about a girl named Jun Naruse who learns that her words have ruined her family so she believes that an egg fairy puts a curse on her and is unable to speak. The first one I watched this month was called The Anthem of the Heart which is based on an anime with the same title. They are from various years and I just briefly wanted to talk about them. I find it is harder to find subs for movies especially Japanese movies. They are kinda like their own genre and often tend to be high school dramas. I have been watching some Japanese Movies lately mostly ones based off of a manga.
