Intro
Detailed sounds, expressions, glowing eyes... a movie named Liz and the Blue Bird had a lot of stuff very detailed to my surprise, as it was something... that caught my attention first and from the very start. At the start of the movie the only thing I expected was that it would be mainly about musical instruments. Well, I would lie if I said that it wasnt a big part of it, BUT, this wasnt the main focus of the movie. It was the psychological and mental part of the characters. Both main characters Nozomi and Mizore have mixed thoughts about themselves and the relationship they had with each other.

Enough for the intro talk... let’s look at the two main characters.

Mizore Yoroizuka
The main character of the movie. She was a girl who was quiet and introverted. What was interesting in my opinion. Despite having difficulties with social interactions, she had friends like the other main character, Nozomi Kasaki and a few other side characters. One thing I cannot miss to point out here… the anime itself is named after one book which is referred to tons of times in the movie. To put it simply, at first the characters from the book as well as Mizore feel like victims… they feel like that they are robbed and are losing the other person somehow. But with some time passing by their viewpoint flips around and they come up with a new perspective and that is that they weren’t victims. They only were scared to let go of their friend… they feared the potential that if they let them be… they would have to say goodbye to the other person like in the book. Eventually, that's something that will inevitably happen… but that’s something both Mizore and Nozomi wanted to prevent. They both wanted to spend as much time together as possible… without holding the other person back and making them feel like a caged animal.

Nozomi Kasaki__
Nozomi Kasaki was the second main character in the movie. She, unlike Mizore, was more open and social than Mizore. With that said, Nozomi still held Mizore close to her heart. I don’t want to repeat myself here… as I said before, both Mizore and Nozomi felt like victims at first… but then they felt like the one who was responsible for making both of them feel bad and uncomfortable. Mizore maybe felt like this because of not being as outgoing. On the other hand, Nozomi had this viewpoint because she felt like Mizore was holding her musical talent back for her sake. This created an obstacle for both main characters to solve themselves and together. They had to be honest with themselves and talk things through… which is something they haven’t done in the past like the movie shows.

Main takeaway
Communication is something that can really make things easier to bear and solve. Before feeling like a victim… try to think again and see if you aren’t just letting emotions get to you too much. These two things stand out for me the most.

Conclusion__
I think this is an anime movie which is worth watching. I only expected a fun musical movie to chill. At the end of the day, I received a movie which really had two very interesting characters with a fun conflict to follow.
