  "The story is not a love story, it is about a boy that finally learns to love himself again" heard it from a YouTube comment long ago and I agree with that.

  The mom calling him out on wanting to kill himself never fails to hit me. What a painful thing that must be for a parent to address.

  You know what's even more ridiculous? This movie lost to Boss Baby at the Oscars.

  The reason why Ishida misunderstood, &quot;I like you&quot; is because &quot;The moon&quot; and &quot;I like you&quot; sound similar in Japanese.<br>I like you = Suki<br>The moon = Tsuki<br>It&apos;s pretty apparent for Ishida to misinterpret as he would never imagine that kind words to hear from Shoko after the guilt he&apos;s been living with.

  Shoko&apos;s mom never learned sign language to communicate with her daughter, she relied on her youngest daughter to translate for her. I highkey always found that so sad, to not want to learn a way to communicate with your own child.

  As a teacher I can&apos;t blame Ishida for what he did, I worked with kids long enough to know most kids are very very stupid in their decision making, they do the most stupid things without considering the consequences for a second. What I can do is blame that awful teacher who was fully aware of what was happening and didn&apos;t do anything to stop it..

  The character development these guys show as they’re watching, though. They went from “Ishida is the scum of the earth and doesn’t deserve forgiveness or anything” to happy tears at the ending

  One of the things I&apos;ve noticed not a lot of people pick up on with this movie, is that in the beginning, when they were kids, Shouya originally began bullying Shouko because he saw how much her just being there was inconveniencing everyone in the class, and he thought she was oblivious to it, or didn&apos;t care about it. So he started acting out on everyone else&apos;s frustrations. When he did, the others began to egg him on in subtle ways, so he thought everyone was on his side about it. He&apos;s trying to make Shouko see how she&apos;s troubling the people around her. That&apos;s why at the playground he tells her to try harder, or everyone will get tired of her. He didn&apos;t understand how hard she was already trying, and her being oblivious to their frustrations made her seem selfish in his eyes. From his perspective, his actions were justified.<br><br>It isn&apos;t until her mother gets involved that he begins to realize he probably shouldn&apos;t have done it. And then all of his &quot;friends&quot; throw him under the bus, his mom suffers for his actions, and Shouko moves away. Only then does it really sink in with him that he went about it all the wrong way. But you can&apos;t change the past.<br>After that, he gets gradually pushed away and shunned for being a bully, even though he wasn&apos;t the only one. They use him as a scape goat so they don&apos;t have to face up to their own involvement, and he&apos;s branded as a bad person from then on. He loses all his friends, and develops isolating social anxiety, to the point that he begins to believe it would just be better if he stopped existing.<br><br>From the other side, Shouko can only see herself as a burden. To her classmates, to her mother, she knows that everywhere she goes, people have to make concessions for her, they have to go out of their way for her. And when she thinks that she&apos;s destroyed the happiness of her classmates, she decides that she shouldn&apos;t have ever been born.<br>Shouko has a mother who refuses to learn to communicate with her, and she can&apos;t ever seem to make friends but doesn&apos;t understand why. She grows up self isolating so she can burden as few people as possible. Her sister and grandmother are the only people in her life that even try to understand her and connect with her, and even they struggle to get through. <br>By the time Shouko and Shouya reunite she&apos;s ready to give up as well, and that ends up getting worse when she witnesses the group fall apart, and assumes it&apos;s her fault again.<br><br>This story isn&apos;t about redemption, it&apos;s about learning to understand. <br>To understand each other, yourself, and the ripple effects your actions cause in the people around you.<br>It&apos;s a story about two people who lived in isolation for so long, they forgot that they aren&apos;t alone.<br>And that&apos;s why it&apos;s so beautiful.
