“u0026quot;Liz and the Bluebird,u0026quot; is a new film directed by Naoko Yamada for Kyoto Animation. If you were a fan of Sound Euphonium, youu0026#39;ll smile at all the Easter eggs delicately placed throughout the story. The movie is set in the same high school and in the same universe as Sound Euphonium, and features the same orchestra director/music teacher. But this time, Yamada tells a different story of these music students, weaving the real life relationship between two best friends and a special duet they are supposed to perform based on a folk tale entitled u0026quot;Liz and the Bluebird.u0026quot;u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enMizore and Nozomi are best friends. Mizore is very shy and withdrawn, always feeling lonely and lost, while Nozomi is an effervescent social butterfly. Nozomi seems to have it all: charm, wit, talent, personality. Even her ponytail swishes with an air of confidence as she walks. Mizore earnestly feels that she cannot exist without Nozomi around her. But these girls are now in their senior year in high school. Itu0026#39;s time to think about graduation, college, and those hard decisions about everything that comes after. Although neither girl feels ready, itu0026#39;s time for them to grow up. All of this is plays out beautifully through the musical piece, u0026quot;Liz and the Bluebird,u0026quot; a story about a young, lonely woman who befriends a magical girl in blue. Yamada uses an actual high school orchestra for the soundtrack, which makes the story so much more poignant as our main characters struggle through the piece and with their relationship to each other.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enu0026quot;Liz and the Bluebirdu0026quot; is a lovely little coming of age story. Yamadau0026#39;s genius lies in her ability to focus in and magnify that magical moment when a young person finally reaches that crest of self-actualization, when they see themselves as they truly are and how they impact those around them, as well as how much others impact them. Yamada seems to understand the true nature of friendship more than any other movie director. She also has a clear understanding of the role parents and teachers can play in a young personu0026#39;s life. While in A Silent Voice, it was the parents who had a strong impact, in Liz and the Bluebird, itu0026#39;s the teachers, Ms. Niyama, in particular, who gently guides the two girls in their journey of musical analysis and self-reflection.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enIf you just want a sweet movie thatu0026#39;s a breath of fresh air, this is the one.”
