Looks a bit like he's about to be picked to die *lol* And his cross-dressing reaper lets him go take care of his last business? I'll give it a try when I find the time and see it anywhere! Though I catually thing I remember seing it on a streaming site! If I do figure it out, I'll be back to give a more understandable, spolier free summary! X'D
yes yes yes yes yes yes yes I'm 26 and I haven't been in love in a whIIIIIIle so this is just right on point on…
And you're not alone and I can't count the amount of people longing for just that in every age gruop and of very gender and next to each other. And one cause of it is that off illusion that "everybody else has someone" and "You're supposed to fall in love before 18/marry before 30" kind of unspoken attitude.
It's just because we're waking up, really. The times when women (and men) were married off for social and survival purposes are over (in many countries, if by far not all). Or at least they become less and less common. The pressure to ger married and get children gets less. We live longer so we have more time to develop and to find partners. And a lot of people no longer feel pressured to have things work out with the first relationship and it to work forever. Women no longer depend on men, if they don't want to. And at times there's even no longer a limitation as to what gender(s) or amount of partners at a time we can have. So suddenly there's a lot of freedom but little experience on how the heck to deal with it *lol*
It's causing a lot of mess and lots of insecurities bubbling up. But falling in love needs capacity and a certain grade of security to work out (for longer than a couple of weeks). :P So a lot of people are alone to work it out. Regardless of awnting a partner. Comes time, comes love! And if lucky, even a relationship!
I really liked it. Two akward people working in the "arts"-segment of life. They're both too passionate for their own good. And I can totally relate to how it can eat you up at times. Physically, psychologically, emotionally, life wise, work wise. But that's why they fit so well. A really hurt, confined or serious person can only be creached by someone of foolish innosence! It's a skill. It makes you want to headdesk, but when you do and laugh, that's when they work their magic.
I really like how they were very straight forward (as far as it was possible within their awkwardness) when it came to everything. Down to the sexual aspect. It's nothing to be ashamed of. It can feel awkward at times, so what. That's what it's like in life! Everyone has clumps, odd moments of strange going on! X'D
I really liked the music, the atmosphere and the camera. The acting was pretty good within the given parameters, too. And then there's that typically Japanese charm to the production, too. Give it a try, and mak sure not to give up too early! It get's more complex and deep as it unfolds. I definitely liked the last two episodes best!
Ahhh jeez boy, to make a mistake and go do it twice! Darn. To go through hell to build up the courage. That's such a human thing to do.
What do we learn:
1) Love is wonderful and trying to deny it is the most painful thing you could do to yourself and others 2) Modern open and new family types and relationships are awesome. They can offer more freedom, HOWEVER more freedom always comes with more responsibility. It requires strong people and a very honest and open handling. Anything else is bound to cause a lot of (unnecessary) pain.
It's a good movie. If you haven't watched it yet, do. Stick to it and see it through. And bring an open heart with you!
Surprisingly the BL Jmovies have extremely hot kisses. Why can scenes between two men have intensely moving lips…
It's that screwed because the girls are supposed to be very innocent as long as they're in school, but even after, the ladies can be like this because heavens forbid the ladies are lewd and fully enjoy sex. The akward body language is also just awkward from the western perspective. There are other standards in Asia when it comes to body contact (outside of a relationship or marriage) and decency. And like in most countries, men having sex and kissing are "cool and hot", women doing the same are "not decent and whores". (-_-')
I'd also like to add that though J BL sure has the "hot" kissing. But apparently they're incredibly shy and stiff about it so they're tackling their embarassment and boast their manly-ness by going way too fast and being rough. Even if they manage well on the relationship acting, the moment they go into the body contact scenes I feel like headdesking. They're trying way too hard and it ends up somewhat wild and loveless, if you ask me.
But things aren't hopeless. As time goes by the productions improve, the societies become more tollerant (at least hopefully) and there's always exceptions from the rule where you get really good vibe romance. It keeps reminding me just how hard the job of actors are and how special it is when the acting is so good you forget it's an act!
It's a very typical school drama with a bit too much mess, yet luckily not too ugly mess. Some things are a bit off. Like she could have started getting stronger by actually struggling and running to make sure he can do the same instead of flailing around and letting him go ahead.
And they totally forgot about the other two. Who does fluff talk when it's not clear if everyone escaped yet? ^^'
That aside, it's really cute and I love that he's the super romantic one! <3
Uff, OK WOW. This movie is a 100% adult movie! It's heavy! Really emotionally heavy. It's not unhappy, don't misunderstand…
Now the bit under spoiler tag:
The movie shows a path of slow healing. It features a lot of painful departures. But though they are very painful, they ultimately all have good reasons and we know for sure that some of them lead to a better place.
Some may say the ending is unsatisfying, because they're not togeher, but out of my own experience: I have walked away and let go of a hand although there was never a question about us loving each other. Not because we lacked the love, but because we didn't work. There was too much between us that threw us into vulnerable states. And us loving each other made it by far worse! Because hurting a person you love as you can't help yourself is incredibly more painful than being by yourself and just hurting on your own until you're done and can move on, instead of having to then pick up the pices of the relationship you keep breaking in the process.
They made an adult decision! They chose to go heal and get to terms with old, open stories and feelings. That's the requirement for entering a healthy and strong long term relationship. They're candidates for a happier future with precious memories of each other or even the "met again at old age and a whole life" setting. Or that's my opinion at least.
This movie is a 100% adult movie! It's heavy! Really emotionally heavy. It's not unhappy, don't misunderstand me. It's the story of people who're making the experience(s) of what it's like when emotionally struggling people try to cling to each other! This is reality for a lot of people at some point in their lives. That's why it's very heavy, yet happy. Because they keep walking. They keep picking themselves up. They fall, they pick eachother up. They walk a few steps. Alone, together, or in a group. It's the up and down and up of life! It shows the little hopes that make a difference in the dark places. It shows people who're neither "black" nor "white" at heart. They're all shades of "grey". The do kind things, they do desperate things, they do hurtful and stupid things. The overal topic being guilt and kindness. And the stretch between both. How people try to flee it but keep crashing into the same problems until they decide it's about time to face the things making them (and everybody else around them) unhappy.
It's a mature story, about how you can encounter special people when you're wandering in the darkness of your personal emotional hell. And that there's no blame in holding on to each other, even if it's painful. If that's what you need to learn how to stand on your own.
A tad of spoiler in the next comment below.....
However before that: The chemistry between the actors is awesome and the acting is great. A ton is happening on a very very suble level and the tension is appropriate for the difficulty of the situation. They use some really awesome camera angles and symbolic moments. It's a very slow and quiet movie. It has a half suffocating atmosphere, because the things unsaid are hanging thick within that silence. It's really a good movie! It's just not easy. Don't watch it on a difficult day!
That’s what I don’t like about japanese BL live action. The kissing is awkward and they come onto each other…
I agree. And then again, you just get better at acting by acting. And I guess there are two issues. They're probably not prepared too well and they barely have positive examples, really. It's hard to find good actors and even harder to find actors good at Romantic intimate scenes, even in straight romance. I'll give them that. And not more X"D It certainly would have been nicer to see it made better than that. And thank you for your recommendation!
It's SO beautiful, you absolutely need to watch it. It has a very interesting setting with interesting complications, with lots of humor and it's showing a life with ups and downs. That makes it incredibly charming. Particulary because it shows a very mature way of handling difficult situations. Truly handling them if something is really dear to you. How running away may be a solution at times, but is none, when it comes to really deep feelings. You cannot run from those and they don't just go away. But there are ways to face them. Difficult ways, but they're there.
It's so heartfelt. I've been looking for something that is exactly like that, for a while. a couple busy with themselves and their surroundings, but no annoying, aggressive 3rd parties getting in the way claiming it's "love". Now THIS is love! True consideration of each other. They properly think of eachother and try different solutions in order to find what they both truly want and need the most. What they can live with and what not! (there would have been several "right" answers, really. I loved theirs.)
That’s what I don’t like about japanese BL live action. The kissing is awkward and they come onto each other…
Yes, I know where you're coming from. Let's say "often". "Close-Knit" was awesome. Serious and awesome!
However, I'm happy they're doing it at all and trying ot get used to it *lol* It's thanks to them doing SOMETHING that awareness goes up and eventually a basic tollerance can be build up. It also just means chanes are good somebody will want to top those poor performances and make it right (at some point, hopefully). X'D
I subbed the movie. :D https://www.dailymotion.com/playlist/x5z2bx
ROFLMAO dear, don't be reckless now! Whatever were you to do with so much popularity? ???? Loading tons of expectations onto your shoulders, getting so busy you'll break and then there's nobody there cause the net ate your life. Noooooo let's not do that! Please settle on a comfortable workload and grade of popularity, yes? ????
I subbed the movie. :D https://www.dailymotion.com/playlist/x5z2bx
Well, I'm currently paying for some Japanese TV, so for once I feel OK about it *lol* but I go to kissasian for the subs. They've got a ton of Japan fans thanks to the efforts of subbers and translators, so it's not like there's no positive effect from it! It could even be considered a win-win model!
I subbed the movie. :D https://www.dailymotion.com/playlist/x5z2bx
Ahaha it's NOT OK, there's just too much work for a single subber X"D
I do wonder why they don't like the streaming sites. Do you know why? I mean, maybe you've come across explanations? Is it really that recognition and fame thing? Or security?
Anyways, I'm really grateful and hope you'll not get into trouble. The whole copyright segments are going through huge changes. At least in Europe.
So, it was ridiculous and comical, it was reallly fun. It wasn't new, but very enjoyable if you don't take it too seriously. I loved the actors, camera and light. For most parts at least. The ending was very adorable. Not the end end, but rather the ...... how to avoid spoliers *lol* ..... the event that lead to the end? The last page! That's it. I loved how the last page took all the fantasy and brought it back to earth and back into it's essence!
I loved the character of Karin. Ofcourse she's annoying ROFLMAO :'D but she's also innocent in the best way! She's not the spoilt brat that is just unresonable. She's very reasonable but she's not been given any orientation by the adults around her. At least at nothing that is of use in an ordinary life. But she has her dream and she doesn't mind adjusting in order to live one form of that dream. She's easily motivated and genuinely curious. She's wonderfully easy to amaze and learns quickly, yet in reasonable pace. She has got the gift of observation. And she's absolutely not just a weak doll of a princess. If not for her innocence, she'd be a dangerously sharp woman. Instead, she's creativiely positive about life. And that's a treasure you'd want her to maintain forever, even as she grows up. Since she can easily throw people off their old, painful and unhappy behaviours and pattern.
So, there's more to this movie than meets the eye!
If you want to confirm it for yourself, no need to ask me. Just scroll down in the comments and you should be fine! (^_~)b
