Reader’s Question:
What kind of red convertible does Serizawa drive in “Suzume’s Locking Up”? The novel clearly states it’s a BMW, and it looks like a BMW 8 Series to me. However, in the movie, it seems more like an Alfa Romeo, especially the front. What do you think?
Let’s Talk About
Serizawa’s Ride in “Suzume’s Locking Up”
You know, I recently had a little debate with some friends about the car that Serizawa drives in “Suzume’s Locking Up.” It’s one of those details that really gets people talking, right? So, when I first read the question about whether it’s a BMW or an Alfa Romeo, I found myself drawn into this lively discussion. From what I understood, the novel clearly labels it as a BMW, and I could see why someone might think it resembles a BMW 8 Series. It has that sleek, sporty vibe that you would expect from a luxury brand. But then, as I watched the movie, I couldn’t help but notice that the front design had a certain Italian flair to it, reminiscent of Alfa Romeo. It’s funny how our perceptions can shift when we experience different mediums, isn’t it?
A Little Insight from the Community
One of the users chimed in, sharing their own investigation into the matter. They pointed out that neither BMW nor Alfa Romeo is credited in the film, which is a pretty interesting detail! It makes you wonder if the filmmakers intentionally designed a car that carries elements of both brands to create something unique. I mean, wouldn’t it be a wild ride if they just wanted to keep us guessing? Their conclusion—that it was crafted to give off an Alfa Romeo vibe despite being labeled a BMW—was something I hadn’t considered. It’s one of those moments where you realize how much creative liberty filmmakers can take. It reminds me of that time I tried to recreate a recipe I saw on a cooking show, only to realize I had completely misinterpreted one of the ingredients. The end result was… let’s just say, it was edible, but not quite what I had in mind!
