BELLE (Science Fiction/Drama) 2021 - Film

Mamoru Hosoda

Score : 10/10

Mamoru Hosoda's latest masterpiece, those who know his style and talent will not be disappointed! You will find in Belle everything that makes his anime unique pieces that remain forever engraved in the hearts of viewers. Using an old European tale as a basis - Beauty and the Beast - he makes a magnificent reproduction of it, free of the usual clichés and stereotypes.

Suzu is a young high school girl with a passion for singing, but whose past wounds prevent her from living out her passion. She would like to sing, but can no longer. U, the fashionable metaverse, will save her from this situation by giving her the possibility to sing in a virtual universe with a different appearance. Freed from what was holding her back in the real world, she finds herself embroiled in a virtual celebrity totally disconnected from her true identity. Through Mamoru Hosoda's usual way of approaching things in his anime, new themes for him are tackled such as the question of the regulation of virtual space and the internet in general, the impact of social networks on the lives of individuals, and the opportunities it can also bring. Beyond that, it is the suffering experienced by the children, the sense of justice, and the difficulty to accept the wounds of the past that are again explored through this very beautiful story of friendship and love in all its forms.

The beautiful message of Beauty and the Beast is also perfectly conveyed in this emotional anime, namely beauty beyond appearance. The true inner beauty and value of a person revealed by artificial intelligence that creates an avatar based on the true strength of the person using it is without a doubt the main message of this anime. Once again, Mamoru Hosoda has served up a new piece of art that you'll regret having missed, once again accurately portraying the complexity of life with the most beautiful simplicity. So a good piece of advice from the weeb: don't have this futile regret in your too-long list of regrets the day you die...

Note: Belle is a treasure in terms of the references it contains and that the title subtly insinuates. A most appreciated finesse of spirit that this anime will bring you in addition to its full of vibrant emotions. Between Jellinek and Peggy Sue, I'll let you discover these discreet clues left here and there throughout the anime about people who questioned the concept of rule throughout their lives...

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

8 AM:

“yelena, please!” you whined out as you held the spoon filled with terrible tasting medicine up to her mouth. she only rolled her eyes in response, letting out a terrible cough as she looked away from the spoon, avoiding the terrible medicine being lodged into her mouth. “no, y/n.” she spoke out in a hoarse voice. she sounded awful, she looked awful too! your beautiful girlfriend had dark bags under her eyes, her skin held a sickly yellowish tint to it and her hair was an absolute mess! she had gotten some virus that was going around town the other day, and had been sick since then.

you could only whine at that, frowning sadly as you watched her closely. “but baby! you need to take the medicine the doctor gave you to get better! don’t you want to get better for me?” you pouted as you gazed into her dark gray orbs. after a few moments, yelena let out a loud groan in defeat. sighing, she sat up and gently took the spoon filled with medicine from you, bringing it up to her mouth, she instantly shoved the spoon inside, quickly swallowing and gagging loudly as she pulled the spoon out of her mouth. “oh my god, y/n! that is the worst medicine i’ve ever tasted! what the hell did that damn doctor give me?!” she yelled, gray orbs narrowed towards the bottle of medicine sitting on the night stand. you only sighed as you gazed towards the bottle. “it’s some grape flavored medicine..” you said softly to which she mentally gagged. “grape medicine, is THE WORST fucking creation ever made on earth!” your lovely girlfriend yelled out. you could only giggle at that. man, was it gonna be a long day.

10 AM

two hours had passed since you had given yelena her medicine. she had ended up falling asleep around thirty minutes ago. you were currently at the end of the bed, folding laundry, every now and again you would gaze over towards your girlfriend to make sure she was still asleep and comfortable. letting out a quiet sigh, you gently grabbed a pile of yelena’s folded shirts and went to her dresser, gently putting them inside. as you walked back over towards the bed, yelena sat up and instantly rushed to the bathroom. tilting your head, you walked in after her only to mentally cringe at the sound of her throwing up in the toilet. walking over, you gently kneeled down behind her and hugged her from behind, resting the side of your head against her back as you gently rubbed her sides. “it’s okay yelena, it’s okay..” you whispered softly, gently placing small kisses to her back.

12 PM

you had just gotten yelena laid back down after spending an hour hunched against the toilet, throwing her guts up. you gently tucked her in, rubbing her head gently as you sighed. “is there anything you need, my love?” you asked softly, gazing down at her with a worried look on your face. yelena only coughed in response, frowning as she rubbed at her eyes, which still held tears in them from throwing up. “..can you get me some water?” she asked softly. you frowned sadly at how her poor voice sounded. it was so hoarse, you could hardly hear her speak. you gently nodded your head, leaning down, you pressed a soft kiss to her hot forehead before getting up and going downstairs to your kitchen.

you had grabbed one of yelena’s water bottles she used when she went to the gym, going to the freezer, you gently pressed the cup against the button that released water inside of it. humming a random song, you gently placed the lid back on the water bottle before you went back upstairs to your beautiful girlfriend.

10 PM

all day you would run back and forth to get yelena everything she needed. luckily, by the end of the day her fever had went down a bit. her skin wasn’t as yellow as it was before; and her voice didn’t sound as hoarse as it did this morning. you had just gotten out of the shower, in a pair of your pajamas, you went over and turned the light to yours and yelena’s bedroom off. gently, walking over to your guys’ bed, you crawled right into bed beside yelenas, arms wrapping around her torso, you hugged her bigger form close to your smaller form, letting out a quiet hum as you fell asleep against your sleeping beauty.
