Meu Belo Homem (2021)

10/10 Love or hate it. I adored it

As in many Japanese storytelling, this felt real, with many many layers and subtleties. In my experience Japan is never afraid to go outside the box with flawed characters and dark tropes, or tell a story others might not be brave enough to.
The acting is superb, and the character complexities are subtle. I can see why the boldness of narration in this story might trigger people to be mad and leave a lower rating, but sticking with this show to the end, looking behind a character's exterior to the emotions lying underneath each interaction, will bring all its light and beauty to the forefront.
As I read recently, you'd rather a piece of art provoke 1* and 10*s than all 5*s.
As with reality, people are flawed. There are
misunderstandings, nerves and social pressure getting in the way of honest communication, weird and creepy sides to us we rather others not see, insecurities and a lack of awareness of our own shortcomings. If you want an escape from reality with fluffy characters and story, this isn't it.
Personally I find happy stories off-putting unless there's a journey to get there. These are people you might be able to relate to that we can empathize with. Lighting, scenery, and settings all play a part in feeling enclosed within their story and evoking our senses. The subtleties behind the conversations, but also the tones of voice, the expressions - they stick with you to the point where I think rewatching you would pick up on so much more.
There's probably more I could say, but I hope you give it a go. It deserves the spotlight. I'm a sucker for subtle art, one that doesn't feel pressured to scream to the masses, one where the characters are followed through properly. 10/10, go watch it
Looking forward to the movie.

QUE VIBE MARAVILHOSA

Esse drama me prendeu do inicio ao fim, eu fiquei completamente obcecada a apaixonada.
A relação entre Kiyoi e Hira é fascinante, a história é consistente e segura a essência do inicio ao fim (isso foi o que mais me deixou satisfeita).
Kiyoi quer alguém que o idolatre o Hira quer alguém para idolatrar, um é o que o outro precisa.
Eles tem aquele tipo de amor que te enlouquece porque você não consegue aceitar gostar e precisar tanto de alguém, o Kiyoi tem exatamente essa jornada até aceitar que ele ama o Hira e o Hira é aquele que largaria tudo e mataria só pra ver o Kiyoi feliz.
EU AMO MUITO ESSA SÉRIE.
