I've taken my liking to a new movie, premiered on November 2022 in Japan and March 2023 at my country, that is Suzume no Tojimari. The title was shorten into "Suzume" at my country. Suzume is an anime movie directed by Makoto Shinkai, a well-known movie director famous for his beautiful, also successful movies like Your Name (2016) and Weathering with You (2019).
Literal meaning for the title "Suzume no Tojimari" means 'Suzume's Locking Up'. Even though sounds kind of weird at first glance, but the title literally sums up the main story of the movie. The story tells us about 17 years-old high school girl Suzume Iwato who encounters a man on her way to school one morning. That pretty, and mysterious man asked if Suzume knows if there is any 'door' around here. Later on, Suzume catches up the mysterious man, going to an abandoned place with one literal 'door'.
That one door that out of curiousity she opened, leads into a peculiar place. At the time she opened it, encounter with many people, memories of her missing mother, and the existence of humanity on earth also unlatched.
That's it for the story because i don't want to spoiler the entire movie to you guys~ I adore this movie because of the full of mysteries story and its beautiful graphics, also decent usage of Computer Graphics (CGs) inside of it.
With overall astonishing movie, Suzume has some flaws there and there, even though they aren't affecting the movie that much. One that i noticed is "plot holes". Some of the scenes that happened in the movie weren't explained that well, even weren't explained at all, so viewers might be wondering why those happened. I figured that it might be because of the screentime is not that long, so it won't be enough time to explain all of events happened in the movie. But as i said before, the movie itself is full of mysteries. That's why for me this plot holes doesn't particularly become a bother.
With all that being said,
I gave Suzume no Tojimari 4 Golden Rascals !
Worth your time and beautiful.
