Suzume
Overview
Overall, Suzume no Tojimari is a stunning visual spectacle of the highest order, which if possible for you, deserves to be watched on the big screen with a crowd that would fawn over the visuals with you. The movie is said to be inspired by the real events of the 3/11 disaster in Japan and the people associated with it. Thus, as touching as it was to us, it should have been more for the Japanese people.
Characters
17-year-old Suzume's journey begins in a quiet town in Kyushu when she encounters a young man who tells her, "I'm looking for a door." What Suzume finds is a single weathered door standing upright in the midst of ruins as though it was shielded from whatever catastrophe struck. Seemingly drawn by its power, Suzume reaches for the knob.... Doors begin to open one after another all across Japan, unleashing destruction upon any who are near. Suzume must close these portals to prevent further disaster. The stars. The sunset. The morning sky. Within that realm, it was as though all time had melted together in the sky--guided by these mysterious doors, Suzume's journey to close doors is about to begin.

Reviews
The beautiful animation and soundtrack earned the only star I'm giving this movie. The story falls flat, nothing on the story gets any explanation at any point throughout the movie, things happen just because (Why can Suzume see the supernatural forces? Why Sadaijin just appeared out of nowhere when they spent an entire HOUR on this film chasing Daijin? Why is Sadaijin bad?). I definitely must have watched a different film from the rest of the people who gave this boring movie a 5 star rating. Clearly, I wouldn't recommend. Make a better use of your time by rewatching Your Name.
