Why Suzume Is A MASTERPIECE
Suzume is directed by Makoto Shinkai and has many connections to real Japanese cataclysms that claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands. In this video, I'll break down those connections, as well as dive into Japanese culture and mythology to explain various other visual motifs in this movie. Down below are timestamps for this video as well as links to my Substack newsletter, where I release weekly articles breaking down my favorite films and their meanings. The written version of this video is there right now. I hope you consider subscribing! :) Substack: https://filmalysis.substack.com/ 00:00 The Tōhoku Tsunami 01:50 I.
