  1. 竜とそばかすの姫 (B E L L E) - A work of art in all senses of the word - Review [EN/ES]@fabian981318d

    Hi everyone, I hope you had a great day and an amazing week. would you like to see a movie that I have wonderful, iconic and with a soundtrack that you will love? Well stay tuned for this review of a Japanese anime movie called Belle that tells the story of Suzu a high school girl who faces reality in a peculiar way in a virtual world.

    Well, to be totally honest, anime has never caught my attention, in fact, it was something that was never on my list of tastes. And it's just that they are so loud and a bit over the top, that watching anime either boggles my mind or makes me sick to my stomach. But that doesn't mean I haven't watched anime, in fact, I've seen the complete Bakugan, Dino Rey, Avatar the legend of Aang, Your name, among others. but as I mentioned anime is not something that is on my favorite or main tastes. But when I saw a small review in the Instagram reels of this movie Belle, well I was immediately hooked, it was as if this movie caught me completely, and it made me very curious to see it, since the plot is something that I myself identify with, a shy girl who has suffered traumas and in the virtual world is someone different and expresses herself without fear.

    Hola a todos, espero que hayan tenido un excelente día y una increíble semana. ¿te gustaría ver una película que he maravillosa, icónica y con una banda sonora que amaras? Pues quédate leyendo esta reseña de una película de anime japones llamada Belle que nos cuenta la historia de Suzu una chica de secundaria que se enfrenta a la realidad de una manera peculiar en un mundo virtual.

    Bueno para ser totalmente honesto, el anime nunca me ha llamado la atención, de hecho, era algo que nunca estaba en mis listas de gustos. Y es que son tan ruidosos y un poco exagerados, que ver anime me aturde o me empalaga. Pero eso no significa que no haya visto anime, de hecho, he visto Bakugan completa, Dino Rey, Avatar la leyenda de Aang, Your name, entre otras. pero como mencione el anime no es algo que está en mis gustos favoritos o principales. Pero cuando vi una pequeña reseña en los reels de Instagram de esta película Belle, pues inmediatamente me enganche, fue como si esta película me atrapara por completo, y me dio mucha curiosidad de verla, ya que la trama es algo con lo que yo mismo me identifico, una chica tímida que ha sufrido traumas y que en el mundo virtual es alguien diferente y se expresa sin miedo.

    But after watching this incredible story, which runs very naturally and all the characters are very well developed, what caught my attention the most out of the whole movie was the soundtrack. I can say that I have not been so excited about a movie and its soundtrack since Batman Dark Knight or Interstellar, the soundtracks of those movies are iconic, well to this list of soundtracks also added the soundtrack of this movie Belle, if you watch the movie and listen to where each song sounds you will also get hooked to the soundtrack, and no matter if it is in Japanese or English you listen to the songs, in any language you still feel the message.

    Pero luego de ver esta increíble historia, que transcurre de manera muy natural y todos los personajes están muy bien desarrollados, lo que más me llamo la atención de toda la película fue la banda sonora. Puedo decir que no había estado tan emocionado por una película y su banda sonora desde Batman Dark Knight o Interestelar, que las bandas sonoras de esas películas son icónicas, pues a esta lista de bandas sonoras tambien agregó la de esta película Belle, si ves la película y escuchas donde suena cada canción te engancharas tambien a la banda sonora, y no importa si es en japones o ingle que escuches las canciones, en cualquier idioma igual sientes el mensaje.

    The plot of Belle covers the life of a girl named Suzu Naito, an ordinary girl living in a rural village in Japan. She is a girl who has suffered a lot as the tragic loss of her mother who she was very close to and who supported her in writing her songs, but when Suzu dies she loses that spark and is very deeply marked and makes her a shy girl who withdraws into herself. But one day she meets the metaverse style social network called U, and following Hiro's suggestion her best friend, Suzu logs into the popular virtual world of U and creates a freckle-faced avatar she calls Bell. And when she enters this virtual world for the first time she starts singing and although she is criticized at first then she is massively followed until she reaches more than 2 billion followers and becomes famous, although in real life she is still very shy. But the whole plot takes a wonderful turn when the beast appears, a user who does not follow the rules and because he is mysterious everyone wants to catch him to reveal his identity, there is even a kind of U police that is behind the beast. But what will happen between Bell and the beast and how will Suzu manage to overcome her shyness? If you want to find out I invite you to watch this wonderful movie.

    El argumento de Belle abarca la vida de una chica llamada Suzu Naito, una chica común y corriente que vive en un pueblo rural de Japón. Ella es una chica que ha sufrido bastante como la perdida tan trágica de su madre de la cual estaba muy unida y que la apoyaba a escribir sus canciones, pero al morir Suzu pierde esa chispa y queda muy profundamente marcada y hace que sea una chica tímida y que se encierre en sí misma. Pero un día conoce la red social de estilo metaverso llamada U, y siguiendo la sugerencia de Hiro su mejor amiga, Suzu inicia sesión en el popular mundo virtual de U y crea un avatar con pecas al que llama Bell. Y cuando entra por primera vez a este mundo virtual comienza a cantar y aunque es criticada en un principio luego es seguida masivamente hasta alcanzar más de 2 mil millones de seguidores y se vuelve famosa, aunque en la vida real sigue siendo muy tímida. Pero toda la trama hace un giro bastante maravilloso cuando aparece la bestia, un usuario que no sigue las reglas y que como es misterioso todos quieren atraparlo para develar su identidad, incluso hay una especie de policía de U que esta detrás de la bestia. ¿Pero que pasara entre Bell y la bestia y como lograra Suzu vencer su timidez? Si quieres descubrirlo te invito a ver esta maravillosa película.

    The first thing you can notice in the movie is its incredible range of colors and special effects, for example, when Suzu enters U for the first time you can see how there is a drastic change in how Suzu perceives things, since in U everyone can be whatever they want and restart their life, that is why it is a place that seems magical and that is very well portrayed in the film. In addition, the animation effects that try to recreate a virtual world in the metaverse style are also incredible, the personalization of each character haha worth the redundancy is wonderful. Another thing that you can notice and that was very good is how they try to integrate the classic Disney story of beauty and the beast, but with a touch of anime and a totally emotional backstory, as the scars that the beast has are emotional wounds from both physical and emotional abuse.

    Lo primero que puedes notar en la película es su increíble gama de colores y efectos especiales, por ejemplo, cuando Suzu entra por primera vez a U se ve como hay un cambio drástico en como Suzu percibe las cosas, ya que en U todos puedes ser lo que quieran y reiniciar su vida, por eso es que es un lugar que parece mágico y eso queda muy bien retratado en la película. Además, los efectos de animación que tratando recrear un mundo virtual al estilo del metaverso tambien son increíbles, la personalización de cada personaje jaja valga la redundancia es maravillosa. Otra cosa que puedes notar y que quedo muy bien es como tratan de integrar la clásica historia de Disney la bella y la bestia, pero con un toque de anime y una historia de fondo totalmente emotiva, ya que las cicatrices que tiene la bestia son heridas emocionales por maltrato tanto físico como emocional.

    Now in what way I could identify with the film? Well, when you are a teenager or child and suffer bullying at school, it is a mark for life. Since I was fat and short, everyone made fun of me, and that made me distance myself a lot from people and I was very shy in terms of personal relationships, which still affects me in terms of communication. And like Suzu, being in the virtual world, whether it is the traditional social networks or Hive, is like an escape for me where I can express myself in a way that I would never do in real life.

    ¿Ahora en qué sentido me pude identificar con la película? pue cuando eres adolescente o niño y sufres bullying en la escuela, pues es otea marca de por vida. Ya que como era gordo y de baja estatura todos se burlaban de mí, y eso hizo que me alejara mucho de las personas y que fuera muy tímido en cuanto a las relaciones persónale, cosa que me sigue afectando en cuanto a la comunicación. Y que al igual que Suzu estar en el mundo virtual ya sean las redes sociales tradicionales o Hive, es como un escape para mi dónde me puedo expresar como nunca lo haría en la vida real.

    And one last thing that caught my attention about Belle, is that the director of this work of art Mamure Hozada has also participated as director of other incredible films and series that although I have not seen them complete, if I palmeo do it and so I can discover all the work of this director, he has films and series such as: Mirai, my little sister, The boy and the beast, The wolf children, Summer Wars, The girl who jumped through time, One Piece: Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island and Digimon movies and some episodes. So it's obvious to see so much awesomeness in Belle.


    If you want to enjoy an amazing story, impeccable animation and a soundtrack that will hook you, I invite you to watch Belle, an amazing movie from the hand of the iconic director Mamoru Hosoda, and if you have already seen it leave me your opinion in the comments. Thank you very much for reading this review, see you until next time.

    Y una última cosa que me llamo mucho la atención de Belle, es que el director de esta obra de arte Mamure Hozada tambien ha participado como director de otras películas y series increíbles que aunque no las he visto completa, si palmeo hacerlo y así poder descubrir todo el trabajo de este director, él tiene películas y series como: Mirai, mi hermana pequeña, El niño y la bestia, Los niños lobo, Summer Wars, La chica que saltaba a través del tiempo, One Piece: Barón Omatsuri y la Isla Secreta y películas de Digimon y algunos episodios. Así que es obvio ver tanta genialidad en Belle.

    Si quieres disfrutar de una historia asombrosa, una animación impecable y una banda sonora que te enganchara, te invito a Ver Belle, una asombrosa película de la mano del icónico director Mamoru Hosoda, y si ya la has visto déjame tu opinión en los comentarios. Muchas gracias por leer esta reseña, nos vemos hasta una próxima ocasión.

  2. Reseña: Belle // Review: Belle@presidentx1333d

    Mamoru Hosoda es uno de los directores de animación que más le sigo la pista, pues varios de títulos me han gustado bastante como “La chica que saltaba a través del tiempo” o “El niño y la bestia”. Ya he podido ver su último trabajo. Estrenada el 2021. Fue producida por el Studio Chizu.

    Mamoru Hosoda is one of the animation directors I follow the most, as I have liked several of his titles like "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" or "The Boy and the Beast". I have already been able to see his latest work. Released in 2021. It was produced by Studio Chizu.

    Sinopsis: Suzu Naito es una estudiante escolar que tras perder a su madre a una joven edad, la ha vuelto insegura y con poca capacidad para socializar; sin embargo, al entrar a un mundo virtual y mostrarse mediante un avatar llamado Belle, es popular, especialmente por su gran voz. Es en ello, que un día conoce a una especie de monstruo(Dragón), al que intentará conocer poco a poco.

    Synopsis: Suzu Naito is a school student who after losing her mother at a young age, has made her insecure and with little ability to socialize; however, by entering a virtual world and showing herself through an avatar named Belle, she is popular, especially for her great voice. It is in this, that one day she meets a kind of monster (Dragon), whom she will try to get to know little by little.

    Comenzaré con los puntos positivos, que son principalmente la animación y la música. La animación funciona en los dos niveles que se muestran, uno es el mundo real, con aires de drama. Y el mundo virtual, que recuerda un tanto a otros mundos virtuales ya vistos, en donde los colores y efectos llenan la pantalla. La música al ser un atributo de la protagonista, destaca bastante, con diversas canciones melódicas.

    I will start with the positive points, which are mainly the animation and the music. The animation works on the two levels shown, one is the real world, with an air of drama. And the virtual world, which is somewhat reminiscent of other virtual worlds already seen, where colors and effects fill the screen. The music, being an attribute of the protagonist, stands out a lot, with several melodic songs.

    Luego de señalar los puntos positivos, pasó a la trama, que es lo que me ha generado una desilusión con este título, pues acaba siendo muy superficial e inconexo. Si bien se trata de mostrar el mundo de la internet con sus puntos negativos, de superficialidad, falso interés y otros; la protagonista y su historia creo que no es la indicada para tratarla, se siente muy poco peso a sus decisiones, y el tramo final es realmente irreal así como que no cierra del todo. Si bien hay personajes secundarios, son poco desarrollados, siendo solo herramientas para el desarrollo de la protagonista. Se llega a un punto en que todo se vuelve muy incoherente, como si todo lo visto pasara sin consecuencia alguna.

    After pointing out the positive points, it went on to the plot, which is what has generated me a disappointment with this title, as it ends up being very superficial and disjointed. While it tries to show the world of the internet with its negative points, superficiality, false interest and others; the protagonist and her story I think is not the right one to treat her, I feel very little weight to her decisions, and the final stretch is really unreal as well as it does not close at all. Although there are secondary characters, they are poorly developed, being only tools for the development of the protagonist. It gets to a point where everything becomes very incoherent, as if everything seen happens without any consequence.

    Al menos hay algunos momentos cómicos para mejorar un poco la situación y la música con la animación le suma puntos; sin embargo, la trama no debió abarcar bastante si no puedo procesarla de manera correcta.

    At least there are some comic moments to improve the situation a bit and the music with the animation adds points; however, the plot should not have covered enough if I can't process it correctly.

  3. Belle | Secrets and traumas@jauregui981354d

    image.png

    image.png

    I've already started season 14 of Supernatural, I'm almost out of that prison, and as a reward I let myself watch Belle, I didn't expect this movie to surprise me so much, or to make me cry, or to make me listen to the soundtrack on loop while I do anything else. Belle is many many things, a movie about secrets, trauma, about love, it has science fiction, it has fantasy, and even a bit of comedy in it, and while that makes everything overwhelming or makes us not get used to what we are watching, it doesn't stop it from being amazing and getting to move us and move us with intensity.

    Suzu is a high school student from a rural area far from the city, ignored or isolated from the world by choice, until one day she discovers U, a virtual world where she becomes the most famous person thanks to her songs, Belle, is called her avatar, who allows her to be everything she would like to be, But she discovers that it is not like that, because with the appearance of a beast, another avatar of U, she discovers that there is a lot she has to work on and develop as a person, and we will be there with her, watching her grow and become the best version of her.

    image.png

    Ya comencé la temporada 14 de Supernatural, ya casi salgo de esa prisión, y como recompensa me dejé ver Belle, no esperaba que esta película me sorprendiera tanto, o que me hiciera llorar, o que me pusiera a escuchar el soundtrack en loop mientras hago cualquier otra cosa. Belle es muchas muchas cosas, una película sobre secretros, sobre traumas, de amor, tiene ciencia ficción, tiene fantasía, hasta un poco de comedia tiene, y si bien eso hace que todo sea abrumador o que no nos acostumbremos a lo que estamos viendo, no impide que sea increíble y llegue a emocionarnos y movernos con intensidad.

    Suzu es una estudiante de secundaria de una zona rural lejos de la ciudad, ignorada o aislada del mundo por decisión propia, hasta que un día descubre U, un mundo virtual donde se convierte en la persona más famosa gracias a sus canciones, Belle, se llama su avatar, quien le permite ser todo lo que ella quisiera ser, pero descubre que no es así, pues con la aparición de una bestia, otro avatar de U, descubre que hay mucho en lo que tiene que trabajar y desarrollarse como persona, y ahí estaremos nosotres acompañándola, viéndola crecer y convertirse en la mejor versión de ella.

    I cried when I thought I was not going to continue crying, they threw a strong scene in my face again and I had to start wiping my snot again because I could not stand it. That was at the end, but I still wanted to tell you from this moment, it is a warning, if you are overly emotional people like me, you are going to cry, or not, I do not know, you never know, but I warn you, some traumas include mothers, and it is horrible, you do not get out of here without a scratch.

    From the beginning the immersion in science fiction and fantasy is gigantic, that is, we are introduced to U, this virtual world where you can be who you are not in the real world, where you can do whatever you want, as long as it is legal and does not hurt anyone, and the best thing is that you can create your avatar and customize it as you want, from animals to mythological creatures, and that's up to you, and that amazed me, then comes the second part, the real world, and while this can be discouraging because not everything that happens in the movie will take place in U, we will not always see Belle, we will not always hear her sing and we will not be in the state of digital immersion that many people would like, and while many people did not like this second part, I loved it, they knew how to balance the incredible with something normal, which in the end ends up being incredible too, you just have to give it time to develop.

    image.png

    Lloré, horrible, cuando creía que no iba a seguir llorando, me volvían a lanzar a la cara una escena fuerte y tenía que comenzar a limpiarme los mocos de nuevo porque no aguantaba. Eso fue al final, pero igual quería decírselos desde este momento, es una advertencia, si son personas excesivamente emocionales como yo, van a llorar, o no, no sé, nunca se sabe, pero se los advierto, hay traumas que incluyen a madres, y es horrible, no se sale sin ningún rasguño de aquí.

    Desde el inicio la inmersión en la ciencia ficción y la fantasia es gigante, es decir, nos presentan a U, este mundo virtual donde puedes ser quien no eres en el mundo real, donde puedes hacer lo que quieras, siempre y cuando sea legal y no le haga daño a nadie, y lo mejor es que puedes crear tu propio avatar y personalizarlo como te de la gana, desde animales a criaturas mitológicas, ya eso queda en ti, y eso me maravilló, luego viene la segunda parte, el mundo real, y si bien esto puede llegar a ser desalentador porque no todo lo que sucede en la película tendrá lugar en U, no siempre veremos a Belle, no siempre la escucharemos cantar y no estaremos en el estado de inmersión digital que muchas personas quisieran, y si bien esta segunda parte no les gustó a mucha gente, a mí me encantó, supieron cómo balancear lo increíble con algo normal, que al final termina siendo increíble también, solo hay que darle tiempo para que se desarrlle.

    I don't want to tell you too much because I want you to meet Suzu/Belle on your own, but I will tell you that in both versions, Suzu is excellent, the one in the real world or the virtual one. Suzu went through a very traumatic time when she was 6 years old, and after that she could never sing again, not even alone, at least things were like that until she joined U and created Belle, well from the first minute she managed to sing achieving fame and being one of the most known people on the platform, that gave her a confidence that Suzu didn't have, but that's just the beginning of all the new things she would dare to do, because as I told you, the appearance of that other beast-like avatar with whom Belle starts to relate will change everything, for better or worse, but it will change it, and the Suzu we know will grow up.

    With so many stories or points of view of everything that is happening, it may feel that we do not connect with the events, that they lack authenticity or certainty, and no, it is not like that, each of the different things we are going to see is necessary, they show us that just as you can create a new life in a virtual world, there is still a life that is worth living outside of it, and that both are worth living, that neither denies the other, that both are valid, they relate, they teach and can improve each other.

    image.png

    No quiero decirles mucho porque quiero que conozcan a Suzu/Belle por su cuenta, pero sí les diré que en sus dos versiones, Suzu es increíble, la del mundo real o la virtual. Suzu pasó por un momento muy traumático cuando tenía 6 años, y después de eso ella no pudo volver a cantar nunca, ni siquiera sola, al menos las cosas eran así hasta que se unió a U y creó a Belle, pues desde el primer minuto logró cantar logrando la fama y siendo una de las personas más conocidas de la plataforma, eso le dio una confianza que no tenía a Suzu, pero eso es tan solo el principio de todas las cosas nuenvas que ella se atrevería a hacer, pues como les dije, la aparición de ese otro avatar tipo bestia con quien Belle comienza a relacionarse va a cambiar todo, para bien o para mal, pero lo cambiará, y la Suzu que conocemos crecerá.

    Con tantas historias o puntos de vista de todo lo que está sucediendo puede llegar a sentirse que no conectamos con los eventos, que carecen de verosimilitud o certeza, y no, no es así, cada una de las cosas diferentes que vamos a ver son necesarias, nos demuestran que hay así como se puede crear una nueva vida en un mundo virtual, sigue existiendo una vida que vale la pena vivir fuera de ahí, y que ambos valen la pena, que ninguna niega a la otra, que ambas son válidas, se relacionan, enseñan y pueden mejorarse mutuamente.

    Ya lloré con el final, les dije, y se los vuelvo a decir, lloré con el final. TODAS LAS CANCIONES SON EXCELENTES. Sí, lo grito sin signos de exclamación porque me provoca. Las letras, la voz, la música, todo, aunque busqué el soundtrack y me salieron versiones en inglés de las cacniones, cosa que no me gustó, pero ya me estoy acostumbrando a ellas, igual prefiero las origanales. Vayan a disfrutarlas.

    El trailer está bien, dice mucho, pero a la vez confunde, es digno de la película, porque la película también confunde, nos dice algo y termine en otra cosa muy diferente, igual que el trailer, así que está bien. Vayan a disfrutar esta película, es refrescante, juvenil, con muy buenas canciones, con una mejor animación, una historia hermosa, y más enseñansas de las que nos podemos darnos cuenta.

  4. "Belle" (2021) - Movie Review@shortshots1448d

    Not only a touching, futuristic-spin on the classic Beauty & the Beast fairy tale but also a coming-of-age story from the perspective of adolescents still recovering from loss.

    Screen Shot 2022-07-11 at 3.57.52 PM.png

    [Source](https://resizing.flixster.com/OZ-9-up1Gl3pHZhAo3NPm3OrPj4=/ems.ZW1zLXByZC1hc3NldHMvbW92aWVzL2FiMGE2NWNjLTNlMGItNDI3My1iMGU2LWNmM2VjMjQ5MDQ0ZC5qcGc=)

    BELLE is a Japanese animated science-fiction film created by Studio Chizu and directed by Mamoru Hosoda. It premiered July 17th at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival where it received a fourteen-minute standing ovation.

    Synopsis

    A sad, rural-village girl joins a massive virtual world where she becomes a globally famous singer who uses her voice to uplift not just herself but others as well.

    What Did I Think?

    First off, I want to start by saying I saw someone post a trailer for this movie here on Hive Blog which got me curious about it.

    I'm not the biggest fan of CGI, especially Disney's new CGI movies which they make in place of the traditional 2D-animation, but BELLE was a beautiful combo of both. Usually CGI in anime has a reputation for standing out in a bad way, looking as awfully stiff as a bad video-game, but in this movie the CGI was just as fluid and stimulating to experience as 2D-animation. Rich in color, motion, and patient enough to let certain sceneries emotionally settle with audiences, BELLE felt very well done.

    The story's more than just a fancy spin on the classic Beauty and the Beast fairy tale, although the movie definitely lifts a lot of its elements from that source. What really separates, BELLE from the Beauty and the Beast story is that it's not about romance or magic, even though technology displayed here is rather magical, but about loss, trauma, and rising above our own pain to recognize the pain of others so to help them rise as well.

    One of the more clever things about the movie are the names. The virtual world that the main character joins is called "U," likely as in "universal." However, the in-game AI introduces new people to the world as if the world of "U" is the "you" inside everyone in the virtual world. The main character Suzu's avatar in "U" is referred to as "Bell" because of her beauty and importance in the community. She becomes a world-wide singing sensation, and everyone has heard of "the Bell in U." There is also a user who's avatar is called Beast. The Beast is angry and violent, which later results in people referring to "the search for the Beast in U," which is rather poetic. There are also avatars in the world of "U" owned by rich people and corporations that call themselves "Justice" because they use their power of Light to control people in "U" since the creators, or "Voices," have more or less left everyone to their own devices. I appreciated that the avatars that were trying to control the denizens of "U" were a bunch of rich people and corporations calling themselves "Justice," as in only rich people and big corporations had the resources and know-how to decide what was right and wrong in the new virtual world of "U." Then there are plays in the concept of "light," which is a weapon that Justice uses to keep everyone in line. The danger of "light" is that if its shined upon a user in "U," their avatar will fade away and reveal their true face, removing their anonymity and revealing their true identity to everyone. They call this process "unveiling." It was a very appropriate concept for our modern online age where many people hide behind anonymous digital avatars and fear the idea of being unmasked to the rest of the online world.

    The film does a good job of using speech bubbles that pop onto the screen en-masses, a giant swarm of online comments that symbolizes the mob-mentality of certain large online interactions but also the discrepancy between who users in the virtual world of "U" really are compared to how they behave online. It's represents the old adage about people being more honest, but sometimes more cruel, when they are given the safety of a mask.

    I don't want to spoil the movie any further since I was very much impressed with it at almost every moment all the way through. If I have to offer any criticism, it's that I think the movie focuses more on the effects of loss on children and not parents, but the story's about a child suffering the pain of loss -- not a parent.

    Here's the Youtube trailer for BELLE -- and, yes, unlike most cases this movie does a great job living up to its trailer.

    I haven't done this before but I wanted to post a screenshot of the English & Japanese voice actors for BELLE, even though I have only watched the English dubbed version. Sometimes I've found that the Japanese version can leave a slightly or entirely different impression on me than the English version. Screen Shot 2022-07-11 at 5.03.13 PM.png Source

    FINAL GRADE?

    I really enjoyed BELLE and felt emotionally pummeled at its climax, as all good movies should leave their audience.

    Hope you enjoyed this movie review!

    OPINIÓN

    Hace un tiempo que no veía una película de anime, me gusta la animación en general, sin importar de donde venga, en esta ocasión, hablare de Belle, una película animada Japonesa que se posiciono como numero uno en los cines de Japón, teniendo un director nominado al Oscar, Mamoru Hosoda.

    Lo primero en que me fije fue en la animación, me recordó mucho a otras películas que he visto con ese estilo de movimientos, no tanto el dibujo por ser muy genérico, llegue a recordar una película de Digimon que se parecía a este estilo de animación, y para mi sorpresa, este director fue el que hizo esa película de Digimon hace unos cuantos años. Tres películas de Digimon, Los niños Lobos y una película de One Piece, sin darme cuenta he visto más el trabajo de este director de lo que pensé.

    Su estilo es sencillo, no es muy colorido, puedo decir que en ocasiones opaca los colores, casi como si todos los escenarios hubieran nubes negras en el cielo. No sabría muy bien como definir los movimientos de los personajes, pero ese aspecto fue lo que me hizo darme cuenta de que lo había visto antes, tiene similitudes con el Estudio Ghibli, por alguna razón, la animación de serie anime es diferente a las películas.

    La historia es una mezcla para mi, entre La Bella y la Bestia, junto a Cenicienta, no puedo decir si esa fue la inspiración del director porque no leí nada sobre eso, pero la historia se puede entender como una referencia a esas dos obras. Por tener esas referencias la película se me hizo muy vacía, repetitiva, la historia en general, no creo ningún impacto en mi.

    La música y la animación en 3D si fue de mi agrado, me encanta la combinación del 2D con el 3D en algunas escenas, la película, por tratar de una chica que después de años puede volver a cantar, es obvio que la música tenia que ser un punto fuerte. Aunque esta pueda ser mi opinión, no quiere decir que sea verídica, la pagina de Rotten Tomatoes tiene una calificación del 95% y tiene un 83% de aprobación por parte de PostTrak.

    Belle, con una duración de dos horas, mostrándonos una historia de reconciliación hacia si mismo, llega a tener una buena puntuación y recepción de la critica, sabiendo esto y mi opinión ¿La verías?

    OPINION

    It's been a while since I've seen an anime movie, I like animation in general, no matter where it comes from, this time, I'll talk about Belle, a Japanese animated movie that positioned itself as number one in theaters in Japan, having a Oscar-nominated director Mamoru Hosoda.

    The first thing I noticed was the animation, it reminded me a lot of other movies I've seen with that style of movement, not so much the drawing because it's very generic, I came to remember a Digimon movie that resembled this style of animation, and to my surprise, this director was the one who made that Digimon movie a few years ago. Three Digimon movies, The Wolf Children and a One Piece movie, without realizing it I've seen more of this director's work than I thought.

    His style is simple, he is not very colorful, I can say that sometimes he dulls the colors, almost as if all the scenarios had black clouds in the sky. I would not know very well how to define the movements of the characters, but that aspect was what made me realize that I had seen it before, it has similarities with Studio Ghibli, for some reason, the animation of the anime series is different from the movies.

    The story is a mix for me, between Beauty and the Beast, along with Cinderella, I can't say if that was the director's inspiration because I didn't read anything about it, but the story can be understood as a reference to those two works. Having these references made the film very empty, repetitive, the story in general, I don't think it had any impact on me.

    The music and the 3D animation were to my liking, I love the combination of 2D with 3D in some scenes, the film, for dealing with a girl who after years can sing again, it is obvious that the music had to be a strong point. Although this may be my opinion, it does not mean that it is true, the Rotten Tomatoes page has a rating of 95% and has an 83% approval from PostTrak.

    Belle, with a duration of two hours, showing us a story of reconciliation towards yourself, gets to have a good score and critical reception, knowing this and my opinion, would you see it?

  6. BELLE - Mamoru Hosoda (2022)@nazirullsafry1636d

    OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS Suzu is a shy, everyday high school student living in a rural village. For years, she has only been a shadow of herself. But when she enters “U”, a massive virtual world, she escapes into her online persona as Belle, a gorgeous and globally-beloved singer.

    One day, her concert is interrupted by a monstrous creature chased by vigilantes. As their hunt escalates, Suzu embarks on an emotional and epic quest to uncover the identity of this mysterious “beast” and to discover her true self in a world where you can be anyone.

    REVIEW ‘Belle’ delves into the theme of the Internet as not only as a bridge and access for information. It is an alternate reality. A different realm. Here, Mamoru adapts the myth of ‘Beauty and the Beast’ to enhance the narrative. Once, fairy tales were just in our heads and imagination, now it is manifested and it is as tangible as ever.

    The Internet in ‘Belle’ is known as ‘U’. It is the total opposite compared to the internet we know, which is full of ‘I’s.

    It can be the allegory for the conscious self. The ‘You’ and the ‘I’. The protagonist, Suzu is put into a dilemma between being her real self and her ‘U’ persona. At one point, Mamoru Hosoda hints at the seamlessness between the two, saying about the identity crisis and the mask most of us hide in.

    It is Suzu’s journey in knowing herself and the ‘Beast’.

    Mamoru also intricately uses manual methods to represent Suzu’s real world and 3D methods for the scenes in ‘U’. It is one subtle way to differentiate between the two realms.

    The main attraction is the vocal performance sync with the animation (apart, of course, the beautiful visuals). I was wondering how the non-subbed version is going to be, but there is already an International trailer released and it is sounding great.

    Mamoru Hosoda’s was once with Studio Ghibli and eventually open up his own, Studio Chizu. Their 2018 film, Mirai, was nominated for Best Animated Feature for the 2019 Oscar.

    Belle received 14 minutes standing ovation at last year’s Cannes Festival. It is already showing in the cinema near you in Malaysia. In the US, it is 14th January.
