I hope that no one would take this post and its claims seriously. Folklore and fairytale references are not essential to appreciating both Liz and the Blue Bird as well as Hibike! Euphonium. There is no symbolism in the film that will “inspire people to re-watch and re-examine the two seasons of the TV series as well”. The correct answer is that if people choose to revisit Hibike! Euphonium, it will be to see the character dynamics, rather than any non-existent literary symbols you believe to exist. Similarly, it is untrue that "Ishihara embellishes whereas Yamada distills", in comparing Hibike! Euphonium‘s TV series with Liz and the Blue Bird, and furthermore, the latter is not an example of minimalism. Both are wrong: Hibike! Euphonium is richer in detail because the details and colours serve to reinforce the idea that music is more than the sum of its parts. It is unfair to grossly reduce a director’s style into one word. Liz and the Blue Bird deliberately takes its style so it can more seamlessly transition between Nozomi and Mizore’s stories and that of Liz and the Blue Bird, and moreover, the film can be enjoyed without the need for an academic mindset. It's a beautiful movie, one that speaks to the simple and direct matter of friendship and the inevitability of separation, nothing more. |
