Loved the way the director portrays their way of life with very detailed scenes about food, transport, and everyday activities. Animation is great, of course, and although the story drags a little in the third act, it always keeps you interested. The ending is very moving, and it shows love and being surrounded by those you care about as a way to overcome the difficulties of the past that still haunt you. Expand

Absolutely jaw-dropping movie. One could argue that that's to be expected from Makoto Shinkai. Yet I continue to be amazed by his stories, characters and animation. A must-watch.

Inegavelmente Suzume é deslumbrante aos olhos, desde as primeiras cenas, com aquela típica paisagem tradicional e ruralística do Japão, traduzido em diversas cores que combinam muito bem com a vida bucólica. A garotinha chorando com medoInegavelmente Suzume é deslumbrante aos olhos, desde as primeiras cenas, com aquela típica paisagem tradicional e ruralística do Japão, traduzido em diversas cores que combinam muito bem com a vida bucólica. A garotinha chorando com medo procurando por seus pais já faz você imergir em poucos segundos de projeção.
Em um instante, já vemos a garotinha crescida, uma jovem indo para escola. No seu caminho, ela se depara com um rapaz que fará o papel de "crush", e ele caminha em direção às ruínas, e é lá que a magia do filme irá se desenrolar. A garota resolve então voltar seu percurso para ir atrás dele, não conseguindo encontrá-lo de primeira.
Então, ela volta à sua realidade pacata, mas eis que algo estranho acontece: no lugar em que ela estivera a pouco, onde seriam as ruínas, sai uma fumaça de um rubi escuro, que só ela consegue enxergar. Ela então corre até lá e se depara com seu crush tentando fechar uma espécie de porta mágica, lugar este que ela estivera há poucas horas.
Então, ele revela que há muitas dessas portas, e ele seria uma espécie de guardião, trancando-a, impedindo espíritos malignos de saírem. Toda a trama passa a se desenrolar com essa história sobre o guardião e suas portas a serem fechadas, claro que regadas a vários personagens e muitos porquês.
A começar que essa porta aberta pode significar uma série de figuras, desde o mal querendo sair ao perigo iminente, especialmente considerando nosso desconhecido. Na história, há um ser que destrava as portas (personalizado num simples gato), e os protagonistas percorrem todo o país atrás dele e sempre procurando o sinal de fumaça que indicaria mais uma das portas abertas.
Além de toda a correria por conta dessas tais portas, o filme ainda abre espaço para outros personagens, como aqueles em que os protagonistas descobrem ao longo do caminho e a tia da moça (sim, ela é órfã). Não sei exatamente a que ponto da história podemos dizer que essa configuração familiar agrega de forma consistente à trama, mas ao menos é uma forma de família bem retratada.
À certa altura, o filme ganha contornos de road movie, e sinceramente, se torna cansativo demais, eles vão de cidade em cidade atrás do tal gato, e há toda uma metáfora que pode ser discutida aqui sobre persistência, ou mesmo sobre sentimentos, mas tudo não passa de mera perfumaria: tirando o apelo visual, as canções e a fotografia realmente linda, diria que não sobra muita coisa senão um amontoado de simbolismos jogados ao vento.
Tanto assim que o final é todo apressado, há uma queda ao sentimentalismo e a explicações aqui que não me gradaram nem um pouco. Makoto Shinkai já esteve melhor com o lindo "Your name", esse filme se tornou redundante, embora continue incrivelmente belo.

His films somehow hit the mark on Anime fans worldwide. This winning streak continues with Suzume, which offers a magical, supernatural trip of 2 protagonists across Japan. Of course, there seems to be a 'formula' that Shinkai employs and after 3 'hit' movies in, you can see a certain pattern. Miyazaki's films on the other hand dared to go to different directions, whether the audiences like it or not, and in that sense has incredible originality that Shinkai's works are missing. Nevertheless, it's a big hit and it is still an enjoyable, yet slightly predicable ride. Expand

Although it's not perfect - at times it sounds very dragged out in its development, in addition to some script decisions that deserve a little questioning - "Suzume" deserves its status as a spectacle, knowing how to captivate the audience and bring them exciting moments, walking between melancholy and hope, between drama and humor in a very organic way, without sounding forced.

They show this handsome guy in a trailer, but in reality he gets like 5 minutes of screen time. It made me feel kind of disappointed.
The main storyline was rather childish, which is no surprise, given the characters. Not "childish", as in "fairytale", but as in "made for kids". There is no drama, no love story- it is just hollow (like moving from 1 quest marker to another), filled with nice visuals. Here is a joke, here is a cute scene, here is an action sequence. Here is a picture of a landscape for 10 seconds. Yeah, we get it, you know how to paint over a photograph, and you have a huge budget. But, at the same time, we know absolutely nothing about how the main character feels, or what they think. One could replace them with a soulless robot, or a wooden stick, and almost nothing would change. Even more, some of the characters have no personality at all. They just do whatever a plot requires them to, like turning from friends to enemies and back for absolutely no reason. Nevertheless, the plot did keep me entertained till the very end. It was unpredictable, for the most part, and fun to watch.
All in all, I have mixed feelings about this one. They did put a lot of money on the table: stunning visuals (excluding those ugly 3d scenes), original music, beautiful voice acting, all sorts of ads and promo materials. But, in the end, it all comes down to the plot- and while secondary characters are amazing, I can't name a single main character who did not disappoint me.
I would never watch it for the second time.

The music is perfectly integrated into the film and not only the song from the trailer, but many others were great.

I found the allusion to Tōhoku interesting. The ending of "Suzume" is different from "Your Name" and "Weathering with you" because it doesn't really show that they will be together in the end. I think it's just as good as "Your Name" and "Weathering with you".

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Animation, art and character designs were beautiful. I enjoyed the almost road trip like adventure Suzume went on but the story quite quickly devolved into a rather confusing mess. Expected better from Shinkai as I have enjoyed his previously works eg Weathering with you, 5 centimetres per second, both resonating with me. This movie had a half baked romance with a dodgy age gap. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Suzume ist nach Weathering with you ein neuer Blockbuster des japanischen Regisseurs Makoto Shinkai. Ich fühlte mich durchweg sehr unterhalten, der Soundtrack untermalte den Road Trip des Spatzen äußert gut und brachte den Kessel, der durch die ausgeklügelte Story bereits eingeheizt wurde, so richtig zum brodeln! Es gibt tatsächlich keinen Track im Film, der mit Gesang einhergeht, sofern man den Credit Song außen vor lässt. Damit unterscheidet er sich von Shinkais beiden vorherigen Werken. Dort waren Songs wie Zenzenzense, Dream Lantern, Nandemonaiya und Sparkle (Your Name) oder Celebration und Grande Escape (Weathering with you) präsent und haben für echte Ohrwürmer unter den Zuschauern gesorgt. Die unverkennbare gesummte Melodie des Suzume Main Themes jedoch bietet ebenwürdiges Ohrwurm Potenzial und ist ein starkes Leitmotiv. Habe nur grob angerissen, was die Musik darbietet und bin nicht auf den Film eingegangen aber ich sage nur, ob Anime Fan oder nicht, schaut ihn euch an. Makoto Shinkai erschafft Filme, die für jeden zugänglich sein sollten. Expand
