Fun fact, freckles are apparently considered a cosmetic flaw in many East Asian cultures. I was a little confused why a side character in this movie had a throwaway line about how Bell was pretty in spite of her freckles. With that piece of context I now understand that the freckles becoming a part of her iconic look was supposed to be a bit counter-culture.

[@tiffc105]

This is true, i taught english in Asia and was teaching kids words for how we describe people (showing pictures of people with blonde hair, muscular or curvy bodies, wrinkles, etc). I brought up a photo of a fiery redhead with freckles all over her face and they reacted like it was a disease -- i stopped and told them that this is normal and some people find freckles really beautiful!

[@agorapanologia]

My sister was also confused by this when we saw the film, and she was pretty unimpressed when I told her why. Understandable, since she has freckles, lol.

[@imthecoolestguyalive]

Freckles are like kisses from the Sun, I refuse to accept them as a flaw in any capacity.

Yeah. Not gonna lie. I thought it was the same person singing both versions 😅. The person who casted Kyle McNeil to play Belle did a great job.

Do you know the anime name?

[@Fac3l3ss1]

Belle

[@deedeer7022]

No, her voice never trembles or falters, the japanese version is much more emotional, this one is only very powerful, which isn't at all the heroine's character, by the way. I prefer the french version, it's way superior and totally matched Suzu's character.

The storyline itself isn’t what hits you so hard. It’s the struggle and connection of the characters. I really do love this movie and the music in it.

[@vegeta2998]

Yeah. It's why I felt so strong with them. The struggles they went through. The paths and hardships from accepting death, letting someone go, trusting in a person. All those things we faced. I am disappointed in the love part that was dropped but the characters and their struggles of each one hit me so hard. That's what I loved. The connection with them.

[@lalafafiifafii5267]

It hits me though

[@tosh.m.k]

I also think that the movie might critizise how child abuse is normalized. I don't think Japan has Child Protective Services, too.

[@LEOPHITES]

It's will written tho, but many dislikes it for being far from what they expected. Many thought it will be a romantic thingky which is not bc the anime didn't focus on lovestory but on obstacles that the main character experience. TBH I got confused so much bc it though it's gonna be like "Beauty and beast" but it's not. They just get the main idea and totally changed the whole plot and setting and that's what makes it unique ✨. But this anime has so many messages and portrays real life obstacles ; like the app, people uses it to escape reality; the Child Abuse which is a message to Japan bc they neglected that issue; and belle for having longtime sadness, depression, trauma bc she lost her mother and the reason she give up her talent and keeping away her dad and childhood friend bc she thought it's for the best . She lost half her childhood and to become unhappy bc of sorrows.

[@Lilitha11]

Some people don't like the movie, because the story is a bit weak, but really it is was about the music. If you let the music carry it, it is very emotional. Worrying about how the virtual world actually works just lessens the enjoyment.

[@CautiousDavid]

For me it actually fell VERY flat in the real-world segments, to the point where at a few sections I actually checked my watch to see where we were on runtime, which I normally never do. The virtual sequences though I was too visually captivated to overthink it, aside from the Justice guy, he did pull me out of the immersion pretty much every time he was on screen. That said, the music is simply beautiful, during a couple of these songs I felt the emotions very strongly. Just wish the whole movie was able to grip me like that, sadly not enough songs to fill the gaps.

[@Aiangurabire]

To be fair, the story is fucking terrible. But the music is a straight up 10/10.

[@katelynmiller8866]

I can get over them not explaining how the virtual reality works, but I feel like the child abuse narrative was not appropriately addressed. I didn’t like it going in that direction at all but they should have at least shown them getting actual help. It was irresponsible writing about a serious topic.

I too have lost someone and something, and felt all of Suzu’s anxiety attacks very relatable. The way anxiety can build up and hit out of nowhere. The way it can manifest into loss of voice, stomachaches/vomiting, or simply “crying all the time”. How everyone secretly wants to be the center of attention at all times; but when we are truly raw and vulnerable, the vultures swoop in and nitpick. I think this movie shows mental health in a beautiful manner. I love how it wasn’t a classic princess love story and how the filmmakers made it in touch with today’s age of social media and virtual reality. I hope everyone knows that they are loved and valued and respected and supported even with all their “flaws” or past mistakes. Go watch Belle. 10/10 movie~

I find japanese movies more realistic. You don't always become the big well known saviour to everybody. Sometimes only a few know what you did. Not everybody "blooms" which makes it much easier for me to get into that character too. Most scenes are just foreshadowing what is to come but in a time delayed matter so you vaguely remember smth and at the end of the movie it all makes sense. Though that is my opinion and you got yours and that's fine

My grandma passed away last night, and the first the thing which came up to my mind, was literally a million miles away. Since she was a huge part of my growing-up formation, the first part thoroughly makes me wish those things to happen, and hits me harder than ever even after watching this movie months ago. Even so, the second part truly makes me picture how she culminated her journey with her lessons on seeing the bright side and carrying on since it's what matters at the end of the day. I'll miss her so much, and this song besides of being one of the best I've ever listened to, brings back my granny by making me remember her sheer passion of live-in. In addition, I will always recommend this movie since it's personally one of the most underrated, and even though the movie can be clumsy on the writing side, its wholeheartedly passion to make art that can be felt, is what personally stands out the most at the end of the day.

the animation of this movie is truly outstanding, I don't think I can say so for the story though. It wasn't bad, but some things just didn't make sense it felt kind of rushed. For example, I felt like the film should have told more about Suzu's life and story other then focus more on "Belle" and the "Beast". The child abuse part was just out of nowhere, and I thought it was going to be a love story between the two for how they made it seem, but in reality the beast was just some kid with his brother. I wished the beast was Shinobu, so at least it would make a bit more sense on how Shinobu suddenly found out Suzu was Belle, and they could have possibly ended up together but lol, in the end it wasn't a terrible film the story could have been better though. (This is just my opinion, please no hate I do not speak for everyone.)

[@richardbogard7083]

I partially agree, the child abuse kinda fit the "irl" theme of overcoming trauma, but could've been done better. Personally, I didn't feel like it was resolved. The older brother (whose name I forgot) said no matter what was said or done to the dad nothing ever changed and they never showed any resolution to the abuse. I would've liked the story to be more romance centered, but being different isn't inherently bad, but the execution of it could've been better.

Honestly one of my favorite movie. English version: Singer has a crisp and powerful voice, while her performance and technique is a bit on the orthodox side, it's absolutely beautiful. If a man can marry a singing voice, I'd choose this one. One of those vocal performances I can just close my eyes and enjoy without thinking much. Japanese version: Singer is an absolute vocal control monster that makes my jaw drop. Her delicate technique and fine control that creates the illusion of a 3D space is absolutely stunning, almost to the level of being scary. I mean the Medly was composed to give that feeling to begin with, but to actually have a singer with that kind of crazy control to achieve it just boggles the mind. The opening Medley for this movie is honestly one of the most creative and difficult ones in recent memory. It almost feel like the composer didn't really consider that a human has to sing it, so there were a few places where compromises had to be made in both versions, but both were handled very well.

@@Ebhen1 This is by no means me defending Disney, but, as a huge entertainment corporation, Disney generally does a pretty good job at securing people who are actually good at singing for their musical numbers (which at Disney's size, is a very bare-minimum accomplishment and not particularly impressive). While Disney is a questionable company (I will be the first in the queue to admit that), what's not questionable is the talent of the people singing in their movies. Also, people often say the exact same thing about Japanese anime that you are saying to complain about Disney.

It is so incredibly difficult to translate lyrics, have them make sense, and carry the same tonality... but I think they do a pretty decent job. Very interesting to hear the stylistic changes in singers, you can definitely hear where Kylie McNeil chooses to use a head-chest mix in parts where the original singer flips entirely to head voice. You can hear it at 4:39 on sing, def think Kylie is using a mix here where the original singer is in head voice. Other singers, what do you think? Am I talking crazy?

[@ambers9756]

I'm no singer, but I'm close to a few, married into a musician family, and I'm listening to these differences myself. I've been trying to pick a favorite version of these songs between Kylie and Kaho, specifically to decide which version to see in theaters in a few weeks, but I'm having a hard time figuring out which versions carry the most weight because each singer's interpretation and performance is so close and yet so unique to her. I may see both, but trying to decide where to start!

[@ambers9756]

@Jablink The IMAX near me is only screening the Japanese version with subtitles, so that's the version we're going with. Truly, it was Kaho's renditions of 心のそばに and はなればなれの君へ that sealed the deal for me. I look forward to seeing the English and French versions as well since I'm fortunate enough to mostly speak those languages too (the French hasn't been used in a decade so it's incredibly rusty... on the list to fix soon, and I truly think this movie will help!). Anyway, I really lucked out with the translations for this movie since I speak at least a little of all of them, so I look forward to comparing all of them once I'm done. Bonus that I get to work on those languages at the same time.

[@barry6636]

Translating songs and having them still work is soooo hard! I hear what you're saying about 4:39, tone wise I think I hear Kylie keeping a lot of the sound in her chest, compared to how she sings the final note in the song. I still prefer the tone of Kaho Nakamura (Japanese voice actress) but for an American audience Kylie's voice actually works better in my opinion.

[@jaybonn5973]

So after listening to the soundtrack, I can surmise this is a musical. About, a girl who is suffering from some kind of grief stricken depression and goes to the digital world to find some kind of outlet and ends up befriending someone else who kind of understands what she needs or how she feels. And there's this motif about a gale song that comes back constantly and changes eventually finding its resolution and she finds piece with herself.
