Mémorable (2019)
a masterpiece of a short film
This is an incredibly moving film that treats the audience with respect, and allows it's animation, voice work and screenplay to carry the story. The film tells a compelling tale that anyone that has dealt with family or friend with a memory disorder can relate too but also gives the just the right amount of time to develop enough character within the film to relate to the cast by the end. I found the use of paint, and lack there of, at the end of the film moving and a wonderful insight to the mind of our protagonist. This film deserves any and all praise it has received. I will be recommending this film for years, and years to come and would love to see more from the writer, Bruno Collet, in the future.
Koe no katachi (2016)
One of the all time great Anime films
This is a wonderful film and is nothing less than brilliant, in my opinion. This story gets you invested in the individual personalities of most characters better than any other film I've seen this decade. The entire cast is relatable, and this is part of what makes this film so powerful. The first part of the movie dives into how the two main characters grew to know each other at first and it's hard to watch at times. Even though these two characters are drastically different at the surface level, I was able to find myself relating to both, and by the end of the first act I felt somewhat sympathetic toward Ishida even though he did horrific things. This first act really carried it's weight and didn't shy away from the life long consequences that bullying has on everyone involved. This was an amazing movie, and I can recommend it to anyone. I will briefly mention how beautiful the animation is throughout the film because it would be an injustice not too. The entire movie is animated phenomenally, and even shifts styles depending on the perspective of certain characters which isn't seen often in the industry.
