Just found out pickles are cucumbers (mind blown), kinda like how I realized the true depth of silence in A Silent Voice. It’s not just absence of sound. it’s a way of communication, laden with emotions and a canvas for self reflection. Shoyas journey, from a bully to someone grappling with his actions, shows how silence can be both a punishment and a path to redemption. His shift from avoiding eye contact to genuinely seeking to understand others marks a pivotal transformation, underscored by the nuanced use of silence.
On a lighter note, the scene where Nishimiya tries to feed bread to the fish, only to have it ignored, subtly highlights how miscommunication can lead to humorous, albeit bittersweet, misunderstandings. It’s these small moments of levity that provide a necessary balance to the story’s heavier themes.
This evolution of silence in communication could signify a broader trend in storytelling, where what’s unsaid can have as much, if not more, impact as the spoken word. It raises questions about the nature of forgiveness, the process of healing, and how we connect with those around us.
Im starting to theorize that the films emphasis on listening might be hinting at the need to pay more attention to the silent cries of those around us, suggesting a hidden layer of societal commentary on empathy and understanding.
Cant help but wonder what’s next for stories like this. Will we see more explorations into non verbal communication? As someone eagerly waiting to dive deeper into the ocean of stories where silence speaks volumes, I invite you all to share your thoughts on how A Silent Voice has touched you or what its made you ponder about the art of silence.
