Ohhh, that sounds beautiful!

Oh, yes!! I absolutely love him! I made a ton of gifs of his beautiful face xD

Yes, it's a technique that is used very often because it works! :D

Ohh, that's a really tough subject - the question of how to feel about the Art when the creator is a piece of sh*t (which I didn't know until this moment). In this case, I feel like it's hard to bash Kenshin because the art itself doesn't reflect any of that and is so removed from it?
Plus, the movie is so different from the source material that it's almost it's own (beautiful) thing xD

Yes, that is a very Japanese way of transitioning time! In American films, or even Koreans, you'd often see" x years later" written on the screen to indicate time has past instead. I find the Japanese way more subtle and artistic, but I can definitely see why that would be a difficult technique for someone not familiar with the seasons!
Where are you from (and what seasons DO you have?)

Anyone knows where I can find this drama RAW? (no subtitles)

Omg, SAME! I am a former film student, and my favorite thing by far was how good directors manage to visually manipulate their audience's feeling by the way the color, light and shot a scene. And it's usually something that happens subconsciously for the viewer which is incredible. Shot analysis was my favorite classes haha

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I didn't notice any such time skips with this movie, it's set in a pretty condensed time frame, but I think there are some pretty standard cues: snow for winter, a shot of a clear sky for summer, blooming trees for spring and falling leaves for fall. You can look at those plus the clothing to help determine such things, although I admit I haven't encountered such time skips in the movies/drama I have seen so far - I know them mostly from Anime hehe

In a good movie, you're technically not supposed to notice these things consciously, but subconsciously. They are meant to enhance the experience and support the writing/plot so that the emotions that are supposed to be felt are felt, etc, so it's totally normal not to notice these things!

You totally should try out Kenshin haha. The movie is great (haven't watched the sequels yet) with good plot, writing, and acting. And, of course, visually stunning as well. It's just around two and a half hours of your time so it shouldn't disrupt your drama viewing too much, either :D

If you do ever watch it, let me know how it went!

You should re-watch them, then! ^_^
What do you mean "similar" to this feel? You mean plot-wise or technique wise? lol

Haha, I hope that's a good thing xD

Thank you for reading it!
Oh, Life on Mars uses that tool? that's pretty awesome! I love it when Dramas go that extra mile beyond just being pretty to look at ^_^
And it's never a hardship to re-watch Rurouni Kenshin, it's so good xD

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! ^_^
Yes, the art behind making a movie is often a silent art that most people understand "unconsciously" but don't notice. Like, you FEEL what the movie maker intended, but you don't necessarily know why you're feeling it, you know?

I hope everyone returns to the movie, including Takei Emi. Can't imagine anyone else but her as Kaoru for this movie adaptation series.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! It is indeed a beautiful movie - both plot-wise and visually. I could literally talk about it for ages haha

Okay, so if you're still interested here are the links for the images:

This is honestly so frustrating :<

If you continue to be unable to see the images, will you message me? I will give you link to the images so you can see!

I hope that's that. The whole article means nothing without the visual aid xDD

Yeah? Then I wonder what's up. I can't see three all of the sudden
