[WARNING: the rating and review I give have the possibility to be subjective due to my preference for the genres, scenes or casts]

"That's what you get for marrying a 16yo girl!" said my friend when Kako start show her childish manner (^o^;)

Well, for me this movie is a little bit cheesy and I prefer Kako with Okami XD

Two disappoint points for me : One, they not clearly mention when Kako and Kota getting married. Two, what's the purpose of they're getting running and dancing at the end of the movie? (^_^;) But maybe that’s because I didn’t read the manga yet, so I can’t fully understand the story.

An Okay Watch

Off the bat, I felt that Okami (the Delinquent) and Kota (the Policeman) had more chemistry than the main duo, Kako (JK) and Kota.

I agree with earlier published reviews that the element of disbelief does make this movie outlandish to the point of disinterest and banality. Outlandish movies, no matter how wild, will have their in world logic. Sadly doesn't apply in "P to JK". This movie felt like a prequel and sequel conflated together. The main pair settling their mutual attraction could have been better fleshed out rather than skimped on for an extra story or background exposition. It would have made for a solid movie about "P to JK", rather than "P to JK to tomodachi".

The dilution is at the expense of the wonderful cast such as Kamenashi Kazuya (Kota), Tsuchiya Tao (Kako) who are sought after and known for their series and movies. Overall not outstanding, but not too bad to the extent of the cast, the acting and the visual of the movie. The plot? You're better off watching something else.

Overall I found it strange that in the beginning the male lead was all against even dating a 16 years old, and the next scene without any reason he was all for marriage with said 16 (I don’t think I need to explain why I find this so problematic, especially for the fact that said male lead is 26!) I usually don’t mind age gap, but this felt very much like a propaganda of marridge ideals being shoved down our throats. I like the actor who plays the male lead, but the role he was given doesn’t put him in the best light. I feel like he had many sides to offer as an actor but was just not given a chance to. The writers really did screw up the plot and the story, with plot holes, characters acting one way in one scene and another in the next. I especially found it strange that the parents were so easy to convince into letting their child (whom apparently they love so much!) married to a grown ass man, (it feels like those who made this are trying to make us believe that this this old fashioned idea that marrying off your kid before they legal is completely fine and dandy). Things just happened for the sake of the plot to move forward without actually a proper reason. (spoiler form here on out!) Especially at the hospital scene when the parents leave their daughter with the man they just met after she was hit on the head and still unconscious. (it would make sense if they knew he was a police officer but there wasn’t indication that they had any idea!) And I could say much more that I find strange with this movie but I would be just wasting my time on something I don’t enjoy, rather than spending it on something I do enjoy.

Regardless, I’m not trying to discourage those who want to see the movie, it might come helpful if you’re trying to learn of what mistakes not to make when writing your own story, or whatever floats your boat.

UM ROMANCE SOBRE SE ENCONTRAR NO MUNDO EM MEIO AS FERIDAS

Esse é um filme que mistura drama e romance de forma excelente. A fotografia e direção sempre te deixam com a impressão de estar apenas acompanhando a vida dos personagens durante os momentos sérios e quando focam no romance a até mesmo na comédia (que aparece em alguns momentos) a câmera se aproxima para que demonstre aconchego e conexão.

Aqui temos Motoya Kako que é uma menina de 16 anos com uma alma muito viva e um forte desejo pela vida, ela começa indo num encontro em grupo e fingindo ser uma mulher de 22 anos para isso, lá ela conhece Sagano Kouta que é um policial que logo se interessa por ela, mas no meio do caminho de volta para casa ele descobre a verdade e é aqui que a história toma seu rumo.

Nossa protagonista sofre uma pancada na cabeça e vai parar no hospital, lá conhecemos seus pais que são retraídos e sem vida comparados a ela, e logo depois disso o Kouta a pede em casamento. Sim, é repentino, muito repentino, e a gente não entende o que esta acontecendo sendo que alguns segundos atrás ele estava dizendo para ela que nada iria acontecer entre eles, mas essa é a beleza desse filme, você descobrir o que esta acontecendo.

Ao longo da trama vamos adentrando ao mundo dos dois e enxergando o que os faz ser quem são, logo percebemos o que levou a esse relacionamento repentino e não convencional. Os traumas e bagagem que o Kouta carrega o fizeram ser policial e um homem quer tem medo de perder aqueles que ama, então vemos um homem super protetor que no primeiro sinal de que uma garota gostava verdadeiramente dele se sentiu responsável e logo a amou.

É muito interessante ver como os traumas falam, ele é um homem retraído com dificuldades para se abrir e verbalizar o que sente, mas do seu jeito criou um mundo com a Kako, e esse mundo obviamente passou por turbulências, afinal, é uma menina imatura aprendendo a amar e um homem preso em sua própria concha, mas de algum jeito eles se encontram e se completam, é muito bonito de ver.

E em paralelo a isso temos o Okami Heisuke que sofre com abusos e uma má experiência com a policia, o que o faz estar sempre na defensiva, mas a amizade que ele encontra com Kako e seus amigos começam a o curar e em algum momento ele obviamente acaba nutrindo uma paixão por ela, mas isso já era esperado já que ele vivenciou muita violência em vida, então quando alguém de fora vem e te demostra algo bom é fácil levar para o lado romântico, mas ele é muito maduro e sabe administrar bem seus sentimentos seguindo com sua própria vida.

Esse é um ótimo filme sobre autoconhecimento e amor. Eu super recomendo.
