Better Days

They both have similar concepts such as; the boy being part or associated with gang/ violence. And the girl being the good and shy type. It also has a lot of bullying but it is a 10/10 movie?

Both movies have aspects of bullying. YourName Engraved Herein focuses more on LGBTQ+ struggles. Both movies have a love story between two students who are being ostracized by the cruel society that we live in. Both are sad, poignant and just amazing. Also, I noticed some similarities with the art direction for both films. Great acting, cinematography and dialogue is seen in both films. So go watch both of this critically acclaimed films.

Both dramas involves school bullying with psychological issues making a tearful and gloomy atmosphere with sad events.

Both of these films have a commonality of showcasing the harsh, at times brutal realities of life, yet are not completely devoid of hope. While Better Days takes more of a romance angle, Orokamono no Mibun takes the found family angle. Both showcase humanity at its best and worst, in ways that feel raw and will leave viewers feeling reflective.

Boy and girl born poor and have to fend for themselves that causes them to gravitate to each other. Boy falls in love with girl and is willing to do anything for her in order for her to have a better life.

Both have beautiful cinematography showcasing the darker less rich side of life. These two films focus on characters trying to survive in modern life without a stable home and social life. As well as having touched on major issues in their countries. Hong Kong being illegal trafficking and China being bullying.

Premises are very similar! Both have a FL that's in high school and is really smart but dealing w bullying, absent parents, and financial struggles. FL in both find help/comfort in a guy who is otherwise an outcast and looked down on in society.

Sound of Magic doesn't really have romance while Better Days kinda does, but they tackle the same social issues.
