Sen Wa Boku o Kaku (2022)

Finding Solace in Art!!

Art Heals! Art liberates! That's the whole review!

The movie beautifully portrays this idea through the journey of Sousuke Aoyama. Despite suffering an incomparable loss, Aoyama finds solace and purpose in art, in this case painting.

While the story may feel familiar, the execution is done pretty well.
The movie doesn't shy away from depicting the raw and real nature of loss, whether big or small. It emphasizes that how we deal with them defines and shapes our identity.
One of the movie's most poignant messages is about individuality in artistic expression. It reminds us that being an artist doesn't mean mimicking others; our perceived flaws may be beautiful to the world.

Aoyama's journey is heart-wrenching at times yet uplifting. As an apprentice, his struggles with self-doubt are tangible and relatable. However, the moment he receives encouragement from people around him and begins painting, his smile becomes a beacon of hope. Aoyama's determination to paint every day, even when exhausted, serves as a powerful reminder that giving up isn't an option. The supporting cast also delivered remarkable performances overall adding authenticity and warmth to the overall experience.

The film beautifully exemplifies the importance of confronting emotions and persevering through misfortunes and hardship.

It's more than art, it's life itself!

If you're worried that it's gonna be a boring art movie, then I'm here to share that it's not.

It's more than art. This movie reflects life itself. There are lots of life lessons that we can draw from this movie.

It's beautiful, inspiring and touching.

It's also very therapeutic to watch the lines being drawn and healing to feel through the emotions the ML go through.
In fact, the ending is so satisfying, especially the last scene when we get to see the ML draw his strokes!

Overall, it's a very well-hidden Jap Gem that needs more exposure!
