Linda Linda Linda (2005)

Linda Linda Linda

Queria fazer parte dessa banda!
''Linda Linda Linda''

Vendo essas coisas que percebo o quanto eu amo música!
Ambiente incrível, eu sinto que simplesmente gravaram realmente a rotina de quatro meninas e fizeram um filme. Eu realmente adoro o cinema Japonês como ele é intimo com quem tá assistindo, você fica completamente imersivo nisso e sempre ângulos bem abertos mostrando bastante do cenário fazendo a gente pertencer aquele lugar junto das meninas, e o show final delas cantando Linda Linda Linda, foi incrível com certeza voltarei a assistir novamente no mais tarda...

For a film that was released in 2005, Linda Linda Linda is vibrant, crisp and at the same time, carries a sense of nostalgia. The thing is with films that have simple plot and centers around high school life, it needs to hit the right nails and to be able to tug at your heartstrings for you to like. For Linda Linda Linda, I did like it for its simplicity and the exchange between three Japanese students and an exchange South Korean student but I couldn't relate to the music aspect.

See, I do play the guitar and the piano (and used to sing as well), but Linda Linda Linda is more of classic Japanese rock than my usual, or at least what I've grown up with. So I couldn't connect with that aspect. But I still absolutely love the simpleness of the film and the fact that it doesn't try too hard.

Nobuhiro Yamashita uses tracking shots as if to show the growth and progress of the characters. He also knows how to contrast them especially when all the four leads are in one frame. The cuts are long as if the camera just keeps rolling as they're all just acting naturally. That's Linda Linda Linda. Watching it just feel so...natural. So relaxing and at the same time, full of energy.

Bae Donna (who starred in many Hollywood films including Cloud Atlas) shows alienation well but not in the way that will make you pity her. She carries it in a simple natural yet. Aki Maeda, Yuu Kashii and Shiroki Sekine (bassist of Base Ball Bears, whose songs were part of the soundtrack) have such good chemistry on screen, each with their own unique personality that compliments each other.

Well, at least you have a lovely soundtrack to enjoy. Blue Heart's Linda Linda is going to give you Last Song Syndrome (just like it did for me).

Linda Linda Linda is a simple high school tale of friendship. (No drama, no heavy crying). So it doesn't need to be too much to be compelling. If you want something light and at the same time, fun, this is a good one.
