"I want you to help me live."
A Silent Voice is a truly transformative, emotional masterpiece that needs no further introduction. I'm certainly not qualified to do an actual analysis on the story, but I'm sure many people have been moved by this story about bullying and what it means to seek forgiveness. Part of what makes this movie so special is its sound design and music, which amplifies its message while sometimes imitating what it's like to be deaf like our protagonist, Shoko. The most captivating piece, however, has to be lit(var), which starts off with a simple, soft piano melody but grows into a grand climax that really gets the tears flowing at the end of the movie.
Animenz arrangement of this piece is unique and one of my personal favourites, even if it isn't his most popular. It takes the listener through a range of classical styles, which also suits the journey the movie takes the watcher through. After all the fast pieces I've played recently, it is very refreshing to play more slower and emotional pieces - where I believe I am still able to pour out my emotions and shine the most.
As you listen to my performance, I want to you to ponder this quote from Director Yamada, which was also featured in Behind the Scope's amazing analysis of the movie. I think it really sums up the core reason why so many people, including myself, really love this movie:
"I thought [forgiveness] would be a very difficult theme to approach positively. When you're unable to think of yourself positively, that also gets in the way of you understanding what others feel. We all have worries and many things that we feel guilt over, so we might lose the courage to love ourselves. Since I also have that melancholic part of myself, I wanted to make a film that ultimately said: everything will be okay."
