A Silent Voice: The Movie is a powerful and moving animated film that explores the themes of bullying, redemption, and forgiveness. The story centers around two main characters: Shouya Ishida, voiced by Miyu Irino, and Shouko Nishimiya, voiced by Saori Hayami. Shouya is a troubled young man who begins bullying Shouko, the new girl in his class, because of her disability – she is deaf. At first, Shouya’s behavior is met with laughter and approval from his classmates, but as the teasing continues, the rest of the class starts to turn on him for his lack of compassion.
The film takes an intimate look at the consequences of bullying, not only for the victim but also for the perpetrator. Shouya’s actions have a profound impact on Shouko, causing her to transfer schools and leaving her with emotional scars. However, Shouya’s behavior also causes him to become an outcast, and he is ostracized by his former friends and classmates. The film highlights the destructive nature of bullying and the long-lasting effects it can have on both the victim and the bully.
As the story progresses, Shouya, now older and wiser, is consumed by guilt for his past behavior and decides he must see Shouko once more. He wants to atone for his sins, but he is unsure if it is already too late. The film explores the complexities of forgiveness and redemption, as Shouya struggles to make amends for his past actions. A Silent Voice: The Movie is a poignant and thought-provoking film that will leave viewers reflecting on the power of compassion, empathy, and the importance of treating others with kindness and respect.
