I recently watched a movie called Sing. The director of this movie is Garth Jennings. It was released in Japan on March 17, 2017. This work is an animation by Universal Studios and Illumination, which is the same as Minions and The Secret Life of Pets. This characters are made up of only animals, and the highlight is the collaboration of unique animals with the main character Moon (voiced by Matthew McConaughey). This movie has a song theme, and each character has a story, not just the protagonist.
Many famous songs are used in this work, including songs by The Beatles, Katy Perry, Beyonce and Lady Gaga. In addition, three songs by Japanese singer Kyary Pamyu Pamyu are used. Many of the songs I know were used, so I was able to watch them without getting tired. I thought it was very good to choose famous songs so that it would be exciting when watching the movie.
Although the main character of Sing is Moon, this work has a story for each character, so viewers will feel that they are the main character. I like being able to focus on various perspectives like this.
There are many famous songs and people who like musicals can enjoy this movie very much. In the end, we understand it is important to continue working without giving up, so I think the message is very good.
