As a wild youth, elementary school student Shouya Ishida sought to beat boredom in the cruelest ways. When the deaf Shouko Nishimiya transfers into his class, Shouya and the rest of his class thoughtlessly bully her for fun. However, when her mother notifies the school, he is singled out and blamed for everything done to her. With Shouko transferring out of the school, Shouya is left at the mercy of his classmates. He is heartlessly ostracized all throughout elementary and middle school, while teachers turn a blind eye.
Now in his third year of high school, Shouya is still plagued by his wrongdoings as a young boy. Sincerely regretting his past actions, he sets out on a journey of redemption: to meet Shouko once more and make amends.
Koe no Katachi tells the heartwarming tale of Shouya's reunion with Shouko and his honest attempts to redeem himself, all while being continually haunted by the shadows of his past.
A Silent Voice might just be one of the best movies of all time. Everyone I've watched this with is literally bawling by the end. This movie is probably relatable to a lot of people, especially for me. The feeling of being left out and everything, always looking down, things like that, it really hit me hard the first time I watched it. Sometimes it's just little things throughout the movie that stick out. I won't spoil anything but there's a couple of scenes I really, truly relate to. I remember I first watched it when I was at my cousins house, we were both in tears by the end, and it caused me to reflect on myself as a person. A Silent Voice is to me a 10/10 movie, I straight up can't find any flaws with it. I hope yall enjoy this movie as much as I have.
