For every saint, there are temptations;
For me, there's you"
To me, Shoujo☆Kageki Revue Starlight Movie is truly the most impressive and creative movie in using visual presentations I've seen in many years. And even more spectacular, at the core, Shoujo☆Kageki Revue Starlight as a whole is a profound and heartfell messages of Kabuki Shoujo (Stage Girl), those who has sacrificed so much on the path to become the ultimate star.
So because the movie is kind of bizzare and the story don't have the common structure, I won't talk about it here. Instead, I'll just tell you that it started right from where the series left off. And the best way to watch this if you're new and don't have time to watch the series, you can just watch the summary movie and head straight to this (although the series is great, you should watch it), for those who have watched the series, the summary movie is also a good way to refresh your memory and gain the best experience out of this amazing showing of visual and symbolism.
So what is Shoujo☆Kageki Revue Starlight Movie represent? In my humble and honest opinion, it shows us the other side of stage girl. The one we never knew or we just forgot. They're in a way just another person, just like us. Before they are Kabuki Shoujo, they're just high school girls with a dream to take on a big stage. They have worries and just like us, sometimes worries led to mistakes. They have made many and strayed out of their ways. But as the burning passion for acting still light up their heart, through many acts in the movies, through the symbolic visual, they've finally realized their true ways. The stage is their home and their true calling. What an inspirational movie that was.
Like I stated many times above, the visual is quite spectacular. But the osts is definitely on par with that. Many songs are epic in the battle scenes. While the others can bring sorrows to any viewer's heart.I've never seen such a balance between visual and osts in an anime before.
Overall, I think Shoujo☆Kageki Revue Starlight as a whole is a series you must watch. Originality has been long lost in media over the last the decade. But rarely, there will be a show that shines a glimpse of hope and to me, Shoujo☆Kageki Revue Starlight is one of those shows.
