Second half was repetitive but the movie was an engaging n entertaining thriller overall. It's sad to know that it's based on true story, i don't know how much authentic the story is but it's unbelievable how things turned out.

Tried 5-6 movies from the director,Beijing Watermelon was ok but all of his movies were mediocre n meaningless ,not sure if I'm going to watch his movies again.
The MC started loving her brother in law when he confessed but she is more concerned about her in laws n society n her love isn't big enough to sway her morality but she did led him on a little then backed off which drove ML even crazier. ML commited suicide in the end after drinking n being depressed.
As an old movie i was expecting more from this. Story about a sacrificing woman with high moral values or say how the society thinks "women should be" The movie is not completely romance or unrequited love story it was more of a family drama. There's no melodrama n i dint care much about the ending.
It's always innocent citizens who suffer the most in war. The fear of MC is completely reasonable in the beginning,he loves his family n doesn't ignore his mistress either, he is a person with strong sense of responsibility. Given how Japan suffered the two nuclear attacks in 1945 ,even today we can see how people are suffering in Ukraine n Russia n as a result the whole world is suffering economically, i won't call him paranoid but as his mental n physical condition deteriorates in the end his fear turned completely unnecessary. I liked the movie n acting.
(Geez everything's written on synopsis , please don't read it before u watch the movie. Although it's not a mystery thriller serial killing movie the synopsis gives away the whole plot)
The movie is a debate between an idealist and a killer ,both sides completely reasonable, it was thought provoking. This movie focuses more on the issue than result. Like other humanistic Japanese movie, this movie also provides the reason n perspective from the person who is supposed to be a bad guy .However,we must keep in mind that the plot is not in anyway tries to justify the wrong doings no matter how strong the reasons are.
The only sports plus romance movie of Kitano Takeshi. This isnt a complete romance or a sports movie ,Covered some social issues like handicapped participation in sports with normal people. Also had some humanistic aspect, as the shopkeeper/coach got involved with the deaf MC n helping him, nobody made fun of the disabled couple. Dint like the ending. Overall an ok movie, nice soundtrack.
Story about a Girl's crush n how everyone including herself dealt with it,that's all it was about , it's not a love story,no idea why synopsis tries to romanticize their encounter bcz there's no romance .I won't categorise it in Slice of Life either.Its more of a Drama n Family movie than anything. Her family dint handle the situation practically nor Yui acted maturely.
Liked it at first few minutes but then it went downhill.
His beautiful movie Tony Takitani wasn't an accident,now I am sure of that,Jun Ichikawa is an amazing director. Subtle toned, Slow paced ,Nostalgic, Realistic movie which at first glance looks like a story about relationship between hopeful n lively MC and 'go with the flow' kind of guy but it's more than that. This movie is a good study on characters,relationship,love and human interaction.Nice acting by MC n good music. For mature audience,don't miss this understated movie. Again,IMDb rating is funny,this doesn't deserve less than 7.
This was an Inspirational n Emotional movie on Patriotism ,Love, Loyalty, Hardwork which is based on only few years of Independence Activist and Unsung Hero Kim Gu's prison life. I cudnt gather much information about him, there's so little about him on the internet.
I don't know the authenticity of few events like How did Sang Koo's name got cleared out of nowhere when the petition wasn't submitted , though it wasn't relevant to the story it still made me wonder. Amazing acting by all the Veterans, every single person was brilliant in this movie . Imdb rating below 7 on this movie is funny.
"Would you able to find a most beautiful memory of yours n let go of every other memories "
Dull n slow but not boring n meaningful movie by Hirokazu San.Even without that twist in the last part the movie is good enough.
But my question is why did they need to recreate the memories when they could simply find the real ones from the records which are of course much better?Maybe it's a hassle to find them n bcz of lost record of some people unlike Watanabe Ichiro. Anyway that's not the point of this movie. I liked it as it is.
