This story revolves around the location of an earthquake that caused particularly great human damage in modern-day Japan. Kobe in 1994, Tokyo in 1923, and Fukushima in 2011. For the Japanese, this is more than just a love story.
The first part of the movie shows a boat on a house and you said “you can’t park here〜!”. However to Japanese, the situation a boat on a house represents 2011. 3.11 earthquake and we recognized very quickly because there were so huge tsunamis and even boats landed on middle of town. Therefore the sight is painful and it’s to remember for us. Thank you for watching the movie and I enjoyed it :)
i'm not japanese, but there was a tsunami in late december 2004 in aceh, indonesia that resulted in similar imagery (boat on house). in its heart this movie speaks to japanese culture, but parts like that really speak to a lot of communities that have suffered similar natural disasters.
Thank you for the wonderful video, and as a Japanese person, there are some things I would like you to know. If you don't know anything about earthquakes in Japan, you will end up with an ambiguous interpretation of this movie. Both Kobe and the Tohoku region, where Suzume's house was destroyed, suffered damage from the earthquake. In particular, the Tohoku region was hit by a 30m tsunami due to the March 11, 2011 earthquake. Also, the town that Serizawa said was beautiful was abandoned after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident caused by the tsunami made it difficult to return home. There is a contrast between the land, which appears to be empty to the disaster victims, and the land that appears to be beautiful to outsiders. More importantly, it is known that Miyazaki, where the earthquake occurs at the beginning of the movie, and Tokyo, the capital of Japan, have an 80% chance of experiencing a major earthquake within 30 years. Various measures are being taken in Japan to reduce the hundreds of thousands of deaths caused by these earthquakes. A major earthquake and tsunami occurred in Ishikawa on January 1, 2024. I want people to know that this movie shows that Japan is inextricably linked to earthquakes. This article used machine translation. Sorry if it's hard to read. And thank you for reading.
I cried while watching this because they made us think that Daijin is the villain of the story. In the end we realised that Daijin was not the one that's opening the doors and is actually helping Suzume and Souta.
When the great east Japan earthquake happened, I was an elementary school student. I still remember the TV broadcast that tsunami destroyed every houses and swallowed moving cars. I really like this movie because this movie reminds me today I live isn’t normal thing but some kind of miracle.
I consider Suzume a 2023 movie, and this is probably in my top 3 best movies of 2023. This was the movie that brought me to anime and I fell in love with Japan, it's culture, it's language, it's movies, it's music. I wish I can visit Japan soon.
Beautiful movie. Who else cried like a baby when the white cat told Suzume to turn her back into a keystone, and when both cats turned just waterfalls broke the heavens. I loved the cats so much.
Actually, that black cat is another keystone, because Souta said earlier that there should be two keystones to suppress the worm, and then the second keystone couldn't withstand it when it was in Tokyo in the middle，that’s why the worm will all flee, and the black cat will free and ask also Daijin to go back and suppress together
Done watching just now and want to search here on youtube with reaction that I am not alone crying with this epic movie. It's like you are telling your younger self that you need to be strong no matter what. Thank you guys I cry again ahaha
The music at the end - it's by the band Radwimps. Their lyrics are always incredibly evocative and poignant and they are a longtime popular band. As for the film, I see so many nods to Miyazaki; can see the director admires him so much.
1:11:55 As explained in the movie there are 2 keystones, Daijin is one, Sadaijin is the other. Daijin attacks Sadaijin because it was possessing Suzume’s aunt
55:34 🤣🤣. I watched this in theaters, and with the original Japanese version. And I loved it. The dubbed is kinda off putting but it works. It’s a great movie. ❤
The black cat should be the mother of the white cat. The relationship between the white cat and the black cat is like the relationship between SUZUME and her aunt.
The entire time that Rumi was on screen, she did not hear Boruto Uzamaki at all. I say that because those two characters share the same VA, Amanda Celine Miller.
I remember hearing about it on the news. It felt so surreal, like it shouldn’t have been possible to be as bad as it was. Every time I saw something new it felt like a reminder that it wasn’t just a bad dream. Can’t comprehend how devastating it must have been for Japanese people. That’s a pretty good comparison you made.
I want you to watch Totto-chan. I just watched it today in Japan. So i don't know when it is going to be available overseas but I hope u watcht it someday. Totally a recomend.
In her diary you see the date 3 11, that is the date of the 2011 tohoku earthquake and tsunami that killed 20k and caused the Fukushima meltdown.

when I saw that it instantly reminded me of the photo of the boat on the house in the destroyed town from 2011 😢😢😢

This is definitely a masterpiece of a movie. It is so beautiful and amazing. Merry Christmas to you Suzy and your family and Happy Holidays.

日本では本来｢黒猫は幸運の猫です｣、でも最近は不幸を招く猫の勘違いが広がってます。それは人が人と向き合わない結果(自身を含め)で勘違いが広まってしまうとも言えます
黒は｢全ての色を足しても作れます｣
人生お先真っ暗、の様に黒を連想させますが｢暗い｣と言うのは本来光が当たらない事による｢陰｣を指します。
だいぶフワッと示したけど、何となく違いが解って貰えるかなぁ。黒いことは別に悪いことでは無いし、実際には暗いというのも陰さえも悪いことでは無い
日本人が文化を大切にしてそれを鍵として人々の間を繋ぐ道としてるのはそういう所に意味と役割があるのかな？ってこの映画と御2人のリアクションに対しての感想を置いて行きますฅ(^•ω•^)ฅ
Done watching just now and want to search here on youtube with reaction that I am not alone crying with this epic movie. It's like you are telling your younger self that you need to be strong no matter what. Thank you guys I cry again ahaha
すずめ見てくれたの嬉しい〜！！🥺🥺
This movie really represented Earthquakes with a horror vibe. Every time those smartphone Earthquakes alarm rang, my body shot up.
Makoto Shinkai’s movies are always a MASTERPIECE
The music at the end - it's by the band Radwimps. Their lyrics are always incredibly evocative and poignant and they are a longtime popular band. As for the film, I see so many nods to Miyazaki; can see the director admires him so much.
Why all anime movies (and not only anime movies) are so heart melting?.. I love 'em so much~♪
日本人ですが、リアクションが全て観ました。
映画館でこの映画を観ましたが、リアクションを観てさらに理解が深まり、最後の方は泣いてしまいました。
良い映画なので、このリアクションを通してさらに多くの人に観ていただきたい映画です。翻訳して読んでいただければ幸いです。
Another great video you guys! I listen to your videos while I work, so thank you guys for keeping me company. 😁
1:17:38 日本人なら誰でも知ってる例のタンカーが描かれてる

外国人は3.11を知らない人が多いんですね。日本人としては9.11より衝撃的な出来事です。

なんか声だけでイメージ変わるね
そうたの声日本は爽やかな感じだけど吹き替えは強さを感じる
松村さんの声は儚さがあっていいんだけど、英語版の方、声がマッチョすぎるwww
Can’t wait to binge watch ❤❤
I saw this movie specialy in theatre , it was mind blowing experience ❤
Happy holidays
Radwimps always produce great songs for romance movies ❤
Daisin only wanted to make suzume happy, but he atoned for his crime in the wrong way and in the same way.
I fell asleep because this made me feel so cozy!

I want you to watch Totto-chan. I just watched it today in Japan. So i don't know when it is going to be available overseas but I hope u watcht it someday. Totally a recomend.
You and Steejo are so funny lol 🤣
I want you to watch the "The Imaginary" too. i dont know when it is going to be available overseas but plz it was an amazing one.
Please react to maquia the promised flowers bloom I beg of you I can guarantee you'll love the movie please
I am once again asking you to finish the Pluto anime.
The film was originally supposed to have a lesbian romance but the producer said "Japanese society isn't ready for that" which is a shame
Good decision by producer 😊🎉
Glad the Japanese society chose what's normal and didn't entertain BS.
These replies are awful. Society really isn’t ready it seems. Wish people were more open
@@edc6172 yes
Tbf the sex of main love interest matters very little in this movie since he has maybe 5% screen time. Would be interesting tho.
Boruto?😢

Yeah, it's on here.
Should watch Weathering with You too@@SuzyLuOfficial
