A Silent Voice (Koe No Katachi) - 2017 - Japanese Movie

Poster Credit : To the Owner

A Silent Voice is one of the best animation movie I have seen in a while. 

As a wild youth, elementary school student Shouya Ishida is naughty and troublemaker. When the deaf Shouko Nishimiya transfers into his class, Shouya and the rest of his class friends thoughtlessly bully her for fun. 

To the point where she transfers, Shouya is singled out and blamed for everything done to her. He is ostracized all throughout elementary and middle school. Even now, in his third year of high school, Shouya's past is brought up by everyone around him making him feel guilty and worst.

Truly regretting his past wrong doings, he sets out on a journey of redemption and meets Shouko once more and make amends.

Bullying is a very sensitive subject which is hardly ever brought up. And whenever it is brought up it is always from the point of view of the victim. But in this movie you get to know both the sides which is very rare. The Bully and the Bullied. Both of them suffer the consequences of the situation.

This movie deals with a very sensitive topic in a very mature and respectable way. It is very heart warming to watch these characters grow and see how they realise the meaning of life, friendship and love.

It shows how one mistake can taint and haunt your entire life. How easily you can become a social reject and how hard it is to find redemption. This movie has realistically captured all these aspects. The journey of these two characters is so moving and emotional that I cried a few times watching this movie. It was so beautiful yet heart breaking. 

When it comes to animation it is important to set the tone right and this movie does it right. The animation is beautiful, vibrant and lively. It is truly a pleasure to watch.

This movie is truly amazing and I can't recommend it enough. If you guys have time to watch. please to watch this movie it won't disappoint you.

A Silent Voice definitely a MUST WATCH !!!!

Eternal Love : Ten Miles of Peach Blossom (2017) - Chinese Drama Review

Poster Credit : to the owner Recently I have been so busy that I don’t get time to watch many dramas but then I came across few clips of Eternal Love: Ten miles of Peach Blossom and I decided to watch it as it intrigued me. It was my best decision as it was so good. Bai Qian is a princess of Qing Qiu a Fox Tribe, with the help of Zhe Yan she becomes a disciple of Mo Yuan, God of War. After a devastating war, immortals pay a huge price to seal the Ghost lord of Qing Cang. 70,000 years later, Bai Qian in attempt to re-seal the Ghost lord loses her memories and is send to mortal realm and there she meets Ye Hua, Crown Prince of Nine Heavens. And their love story begins. So hard to write summary for a fantasy drama as you don’t want to give too much away. The world created in this drama is so beautiful and magnificent to watch. But more than the world building, the characters are important as you cannot fall in love with a fantasy world without good characters in it.

Full House Thai Drama

photo credits: to the owner  I still remember the feeling I got by watching one of the famous Korean drama Full-house , which was utterly amazing. I had completed that drama within two days. I know it’s crazy but that’s how good the drama was and is. It was the first ever Asian drama I had watched, hence it holds a special place in my heart. If the original version was this good, I had to check out the new version of Full-house drama which was released in 2014, and I have to say that it was amazing. Full-house Thai Drama is remake of the same Korean drama Full-house, even though being the same story it does have its own colors and characteristics. Full-house is a story about a girl Aom-am who is tricked by her friends to go to Korea for a vacation so that they could sell her house and make money for themselves. Being a naïve girl, she is badly tricked and now a homeless girl she has nowhere to go. The only house she had was taken away from her by her own friends.
