Shoya's lack of a father might be why he was targeted by his teacher and fellow students as the scapegoat. In the Manga, it seems like Shoya's mom makes pretty good money as a hairdresser. Shoya mom buys him toys that are popular and he invites his male friends over to play, but they kinda seem like they were there for the toys and not Shoya.

This is my favourite movie. I relate to Sho, I'm currently dealing with similar shame and guilt and unfair blame. It has destroyed me, especiallybecause I was the only one who took the blame, even though I was not the only "guilty" party. None of the pain I caused was done consciously, I'm not malignant and I've dealt with very intense thoughts that have almost costed me my life. (Still dealing with them, I think about past actions every single day) it's exhausting and I live in fear and constantly gaslight myself because what if I am being like that again. You question your motives and ask "do I actually deserve this?" All the time. The ending of this movie makes me cry everytime. The music, and the falling of the x's and the crying. Once I get over my agoraphobia and scopophobia, I'm sure I'll expiernce something similar. For now, I have to stay inside where I can't see anyone and nobody can see me. Things will get better one day. Amazing video. It hit, thank you.

I can definitely say I have felt more shame in my life than guilt. Of the guilt I do have it has pushed me to be better. The shame never really leaves you alone. For understanding emotions is is a very valuable movie. I suppose in a sense the Teacher does highlight the value of guilt as well, but in that he feels no guilt. He never seeks to make anything better, and we hate him for it. We can feel sorry for the person who feels guilt and shame, but not for the person who feels none of it.

God , I really love this movie. I always remember that part of shouya being just about to raise his hand but then being interrupted by his teacher yelling at him. I hate that guy so much. I feel like guilt and shame as well as being a tool for us to avoid acting bad within society, somewhat can also serve as a way to be more empathetic? or something like that. When we experience guilt and shame we hold those feelings and avoid to messed up again but also when is other person who did something wrong we can relate to them trough those feelings of shame and guilt and acknowledge if they are indeed feeling guilty and holding themselves accountable. Then it is more likely for people to engage with the person with the objective of directing them into better behavior while still being held accountable, rather than simply ostracize them. (Of course depending of the situation). Though the environment involved plays a huge role as you mentioned, I never recognized the great importance of this aspect in how we might end up managing bad acts. It was really interesting!, really good video

For people who haven't watched the movie and unable to feel the blanks, Shoya went to go "bungy jumping" of a bridge without the elastic cord intentionally.

These are just my personal experience as an Autistic Person (with ADHD tendencies), I'm not making any general sweeping statements about Autism or ADHD; I was made to feel shame for no apparent reason other than my presence was annoying. I feel for Shoko because having a disability like that sucks, it definitely also sucked for me because I was undiagnosised for a long time. My disability wasn't "apparent" (it was ALWAYS THERE) until it was too late imo. I had no reason to act the way I do to everyone else. But to me, I was struggling so much and didn't understand why for the longest time. I felt guilty because I didn't feel like I was good enough for other people, even my so called friends and family. And I feel like I failed parts of my family because I didn't want to deal with the one parent who still wasn't willing to accept that I had an actual serious disability. And heaven forbid anyone made them feel bad because to them, they did everything they could for me. Even through personally for me that was not much at all, buying people stuff isn't actually helping. Due to these things, even as a 28 year old. I don't know what is the proper way to feel guilt and shame because I have constantly felt this way since I was a young kid. ): I have finally gotten myself out of the constant loop enough to not want to commit a game over, but it still so hard to judge whether I'm doing the right thing or not at any given time.

I thought shame was pubic rudicule, while guilt is reprimanding yourself. Either way, Shouya wants to improve himself and change his fate. Not disciplining yourself can make you turn into this aloof careless person like the teacher who let the bullying continue until he had to act. We have to be our own teacher.

ngl...I still haven't emotionally recovered from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Then I stumbled across an Anime called *Magical Girl Site.* The writeup was very short and said it was something about an "unfortunate" girl who gets bullied at home and school. Now, some people said the bullying in Nagatoro was too far, but I watched it and thought it wasn't that bad. All this to say, I'm not squeamish about this kind of stuff. HOWEVER...the "bullying" in Magical Girl Site is some of the most horrific abuse I've ever seen a character go through. It's not bullying. It's so much worse. The MC is this middle school girl (seems younger than high school, but I'm not sure) and her life is an absolute living hell. She is completely broken down and suicidal...I thought I was getting a cutesy bullying anime like Nagatoro, but it ended up being the most horrific, f*cked up abuse, mentally, emotionally, and physically of an MC I've ever seen. Just had to get this off my chest...seems like no one is talking about it.

shame hurts. you can always become shamefull, you don't even have to be a bad person to have it

Still loving the videos man

I think an interesting change the creative team made when adapting the film is that Shoya is much more inwardly angry in the manga. This is because we’re hearing his thoughts while reading, while in the film there is very little if any internal monologue. It makes me question if Shoya still feels these frustrations and burning hatred for himself in the film as he does in the manga, but I think I prefer the more distant version of the character we got in the movie ultimately.

As a aspiring writer your really helping me ☺️

I need to rewatch this movie, love your videos. I just remember the plot and seeing Snippets of it years ago

I had just discovered this channel today through a video you had posted some months back, that is existing only to exist. I find it a pleasant surprise to click and see a video about my favorite movie ever, and one that I am extremely passionate about. There is so much to learn from A Silent Voice, and it is one of the few anime/shows I can say without any doubt has changed how I have viewed the world, as cliché as that may sound. The main theme that had gotten this way to me is the struggles of each character. Of course Shouko and Shoya's are rather evident, but even the more minor characters have these stories surrounding them that have their own themes and lessons. On top of that, the movie does an amazing job portraying things in terms of effects and music, and even minor details such as the X's you see on the faces of everyone. Of course, there is so much more I love about the movie, but at that point, I'd be writing a full essay on it(which I have done before for a film related class funnily enough). I would love to see whatever else you would have to say on this movie, as I've gone back and watched your last video on it as well!

It was interesting to hear this from a beloved movie.

Loved the video my friend

Im here to continue the Investigetion about Silent voice , 8:35 Nice explain there about Guilt the Example made it easier for me to understand in what condition i am , :D luckly im on the Guilt side, since i get the same feeling in some similar cases

Love the outfit and the nails.

have you ever watched mushishi? I would love to see your take on it some day, I feel like you would appreciate it a lot

I spent a lot of time looking at the thing on your neck. What's it called?

This movie is beautiful to watch but it's so heavy.

....so how do I forgive my self for very possibly killing one of my classmates just like pitbulls run after whatever looks like a living snack to them? I've been treated for most of my childhood and teenage years as an after thought that's just annoying to deal with by my parents and later also by my only friends as time went on so I spent most of my life in isolation, cut of from the things I needed and I always wondered have I done something wrong to deserve it, for this to be happening? I recall a case in Russia, back in 2014 (I had to search up the article), where a teen, that just loved art got horribly bullied and died surrounded by his classmates and the teacher gasping for air while he was taped up and left defenseless after hitting his throat on the desk. His name was ironically Sergei, same fucking name I meme'd because of CS:GO. I thought I did what I did because I saw this article but my "stunt" predates even this (might have been 12), I never understood social norms and I don't think I will but back then I understood even less, understood even less why I was picked upon (tho I get that now, bc I was fat and introverted af), so when one of my classmates, not even the most mean at annoying me started running relatively fast across the rows of old used desk and chairs made of wood and metal while I was seating maybe at 3rd row out of 7 on the side where the teachers desk was in front of me, I without any real conscious malice or contempt stuck out my leg just as he was running towards me and I made him almost fly head first into said desk. It all ended in him landing painfully on his arms and belly in front of it immediately crying afterwards, I think I acted just out of pure shock and helped him pick himself up and I can't remember much else. It all happened in an empty classroom, no one that could've seen this happen, I'm scared to imagine what would have I done if something like in the article happened. I could've ruined so many lives just basically on a whim...maybe everyone around knew that there was something wrong with me and they had good reasons to do what they did, that was basically the moment I stopped wanting to interact with the world like a fellow human would. I'm not really a social outcast anymore, I have a ok workplace, people that like me, and a pretty ok life all things considered but I just don't know if I can allow my self to enjoy it like everyone else does.

Honestly, if you wanna get more into the themes of knk, I'd reccomend picking up the manga, as it goes into more depth than the movie could do in its limited runtime

I mean its not hat shame and guilt arent part of a functional person, i wouldnt een dwell on guilt of hame, throgh guilt, i more honest. i guss But as long as it lads to people to grow and b btter (through yeah guilt is mor sunstancial and less superficial) ok it should be enciouraged to grow from guilt, not let them needlessy sufer but let them grow as person, if they are willing to grow as person. I guess shame is more useful to discourage careful spcific like murder or rassism to make it lesss acceptable i mor superficial and on a societial level. And i know its superficial but still good to make like rassism art lat explicit less acceptable. Diofferent aplications i guess, and i really as long as someone is willing to grow rom it, to let them do that work. And the other thing that yeah he didnt do anything unuual orr special, he shoulsnt have to carry the burden of the bullying, and be a scapegoat of a system that just encouaged that bullying, by ignoring it. If th teacher cared, he woul have had a talk and set up to have them talk and be aware, both him of th harm to her , and the class of the process, and let him grow as person from it, and the class maybe, not stigmatize him. He here , is jut anoher victim of the unwillingness of the teacher to help students, him and her. and also expose the class to the lcturinng they too deserve and need to.

FIRST!!!!!!

I hate this... The entire movie is about beeing good *NOT JUST TO FEEL GOOD AND NOT GUILTY*
