フラガ-ル hula girls 2006

i had known director SangIl Lee from Scrap Heaven
so i would have expecting this film.
i was really impressed that fascinating visual and story telling.
but his the other film '69' was not right for me.

hula girls doesn't have a intense factor of Scrap Heaven.
but there are full of his sensibility.
the plot and environments are ordinary like a any other similar movies.
Swing Girls, Water Boys, Sister Act etc.
that kind of stuffs are just coming up my mind.
and as well as, Ewan McGregor 's Brassed Off(1996)
was adding properly.

In 1965, Joban Coal Mining Industry(Japan) would have building resort facility named by "Hawaiian Center"(spar resort) in spite of Coal mien's closing down for the bad paybilty.
It should have been expecting difficulties and firing with coal miner.

Coal mining company would teaching the hula dance to the miner's daughters for advertising "Hawaiian Center".
this film shows up how they will come to the Opening Ceremony for the "Hawaiian Center"
it comes from peaceful settlement and their harmony.

Aoi Yuu,蒼井優, is soooooo pretty, cute in this role "kimiko". i should have loving this actress again.
The remarkable dancing scenes from Hand and Alice and perfect harmony with character from Honey and Clover.

Most of all, i am satisfying to see Aoi Yuu's beautiful smile in this film in regardless of movie's quality.

As i said, Lee Sang Il directing with a adequate control without this kind of movie were doing frequently by excessive empathy.
and as well as,he was doing overcome the real story
because reality over exaggerated drama itself usually.

i think film shows change of understanding and unification of people through developing Industry.
there is no big story and themes.
just easygoing enjoyable human story.
Story of normal mankind.
regardless to say it's real or fake, maybe he tells us story about Human.

i was really delighted to seeing this movie.

ゆれる: Yureru, 2006

Yureru

director Nishikawa, Miwa
Kagawa Teruyuki
Odagiri Joe

One of the movie i wanna see.
The reason is
one : i knew this female director from cine21's
article " conversation with Bong Joon Ho"
two : i have a little belief about Odagiri.

This movie isolated eyes of audience from the main constantly. Imperfections of Takeru's memories and thoughts made the truth hidden.
Miruo's Dual personality and doing is a kind of that
alienation effect. so all things are not logical and confused.

Photographer Takeru is atteding family ceremony after long time away from home
after One night with a female childhood friend,
the next day he is going to valley with miruo, chieko.
but there was a accident in the valley bridge between chieko and miruo. they had a some kind of struggle. then Chieko was died.

that time Takeru saw Some thng.
chieko's cause of death was concluded by false step.

after chieko's funeral, miruo confessed that he murderd chieko.

Takeru is trying to save his big brother.

and the truth is revealing a little by little.
the real relationship between miruo and takeru.
controlled memory and lost memoy.
takeru is trying to back real miruo who he wants to remembered by revealing his own remembering.

after time pass on.
takeru remembered the real truth about himself and Miruo.
the real truth he had remembered.
but is that real really?

anyway.
the bigger thing that i don't like in this movie is,
that inspector(who's s this guy? almost a figure of gangster mob. he shoudn't doing that role and acting)

but the most important and loving factor about this movie to me is not Odagir(of course he is doing well) but Kagawa teruyuki's excellent acting by presentation of double personality

As above menitioned,
this movie make a isolation from movie and audience.
assumed result,
confirmed result.
and revealing controve truth..

here is a lot of dummies all aroud for cover up only one real information.

when i c the movie i saw the stuff mainly that character's personality and probablity of storyline through communications between the characters.

their conflicting emotions between each other.
first time that didn't come up but it shows a bit more and more. that comes from envy and jealousy to another.

this movie is about how they were understanding the his own brother.

their memory and misleading expression made a
distrusting. and brings lack of communicaion.

it's a reciprocal sentence of death

disguised or selfish memories woudn't save himself.

"the fact" is not a thing we must remember.
we should memorizing construction and development of our relationship

this movie is good but below my expectation.
the last scene of miruo's fainted smile is the movie
wants to tell us something.
we must remembered our decision about our own acceptance of fact not a fact itself.

ps)it's horrible english writing, but i dont wanna rewrite this. this blog is just on my own satisfaction.

300 the movie 2007

Zack Snyder's Film Based on the Graphich Novel by Frank Miller's 300(originated from Battle of Thermopylae in BC 480.

before i watch this, i read "300" roughly.
film is more storong impression to me than novel.(the reason i mentioned it in the past article already)
i think 300 movie creating realistic acting through the technique "digital backout" better than original"s.

And any plot or precise background chek about this movie is scattered all around web.
so i don't need to say that stuff.
Just in additional to saying is no need to talk about another Hero Making.
In every point this is commercial business film so they want to meke money more.
So it is.

Return to the main point, i'll say something simple impressed.
This is one of the best action scene making.
Just Watching and Enjoy.
that's all, no need to got a some message. it's useless.
just Enjoy without thinking.

It is the presentation of this films.
i enjoyed with absent mind. : )

Hannibal Rising 2007

Beginng of Hannibal.
Prequel of the novel(Red Dragon, the Silence of the lamb and Hannibal) by the Thomas Harris.

Honestly i am saying this is the below average of the Sequels(actually this films is 4th)

Once very interesting to me becasue "Hannibal Lector" is more attractive than any other ordinary character, and the series of this original novels were good to read

Hannibal had a sealed limited memories about war crime during WWII.
that memories are about to his younger sister "Misha"
He was going to His uncle in france after severe up and downs.
And he was taught by uncle's japanese wife and going to Medical College.
(Ooops! what's this? is this a kind of Batman Beginning?)
Process of revenging his enemy who killed his sister.
And truth revealed...

This is nothing if the Character of Hannibal Lector who wasn't already built.
Without any sequel or reputaion of th noves, it will concluding crippled movie.
that's all i am feeling about this movie.

and as well as i dont like this kind of cruel movies.

Seung sing傷城: Confession Of Pain, 2006

Directed byWai Keung LauSiu Fai Mak

Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Qi Shu

Above mentioned names are remind you " Mou gaan dou "

Moderated Crime revenge thriller is this film's simple impression.

Tony Leung Chiu Wai doing excellent job for the remarkble character building,

he gave us normal image despite of his devilish role playing.

he express the double side of Life's pain and the presentation of evil by the same ordinary face. he completed his acting perfectly.

Started from two cops chasing serial killer.
Ah bang(Kaneshiro)'s tragic accident happenning
Story goes on.
but they have good realtionship each other though theris ways are different.

Ahei(Tony) murdered his father in law.

Eh! this is ending?

no now movie is starting.

This film gives us kindness about who's the murderer repeatedly by the Real Crime Scene.
the Scene make us understanding Abong's own thought and counfusions.

All mysteries are going to solve by the process of detecting murderer and truth about abong's suicided girlfriend.

now this not the type of mine. this kind of stoyline make me bore.
but Strangely it is not bored at all.

After all, story tells us about lost and obtain not a convincing procedure about murder investigation.
Interesting plot and moderate expression make the film better.

Generally we shouldn't have tolerate that somehing we lost.
ironically, if we cannot bear the lost we will lose the big part of our life.

Just do the small thing from beginning.
You must start from tiny parts of you already got it.

i am thinking this is the story told us.

Confession of pain is good film to recommended to others.

ハチミツとクロ-バ: Honey & Clover, 2006

Movie for 蒼井優(Aoi Yuu)-of course this is personal opinion.

there is 2 reasons why i want to c this movie.

1. Yuu, Aoi

2. Original manga's impression is good

Although many times elapsed after i read that manga,

i felt the configuration and Basic story is very alike.

Sure! Many parts of difference exist

because i think the film is willing to concluded in the limited time

Aoi yuu is best for the character "Hagu"

Without her, almost actors are no good to me.

maybe the feeling is coming from Strong impact of manga Character.
eh! Rika's role is good

before i watching this movie, i worried about Main title role.

but when i c "Hagumi" that's gone far away

She made a perfect construction of character and image.

as well as i think she beats the original down(ha ha! personal personal)

i would not talk about "morita", pass.

who would fit for it?

in my concern, that kind of serious psychotic image is

only one man whom i know,

Kubozuka Youske. only he can do it.

Story is normal

As a freshman, falling in first love, doing one sided love,

trouble is emerging, concerning about future and

find one's way.

a figure of younger days are all around.

a little plainness

it is dedicated to original but didn't express it's own color.

But That's good.

all the weakness is make up for watching Aoi Yuu.

She's so pretty that i am satisfied.

After hana and Alice, she is better than any other films she comes.

Elliott Yamin - Movin' ON

Elliott Yamin Movin' On Lyrics

When I think about you baby, I can’t help it (help it)
I lose all my focus and I just can’t stand it
I get so excited every time I hear your name (your name)
And you don’t reciprocate and it’s a damn shame
ooooooo

See all I’m trying to do girl is, is give you my time and
You know you better not move too slow because I’m moving on
I’ll take the chance and roll the dice
I might miss out on the love of my life

Cause you know it as time moves on I won’t always be around
And I’ll be gone
And I won’t always be down
Because I’m giving it up to you
And you know this much is true
As time moves on, it’s gonna be gone
Because I’m moving on

I know it sounds crazy but I just can’t do this (do this)
It seems like we’re wasting time so I’ll get to it
When I look into your eyes I can see right through you (right through you)
And you don’t feel the same way that I do
oooooo

See all I’m trying to do girl is, is give you my time and (give you my time)
You know you better not move too slow because I’m moving on, lady
I’ll take the chance and roll the dice
I might miss out on the love of my life

Cause you know it as time moves on I won’t always be around
[ Lyrics found on http://www.metrolyrics.com ]

And I’ll be gone
And I won’t always be down
Because I’m giving it up to you
And you know this much is true
As time moves on, it’s gonna be gone
Because I’m moving on

I’m telling you, you really missed out on a good thing for sure
As a matter of fact, I’m glad I didn’t walk through that door
I’m a better man for it
Said I can learn from it or ignore it
You know I’ve seen it all before
Now your best friends at my door

I’m moving on
Ooooooo
Said I’m moving on
Yeah

Cause you know it as time moves on I won’t always be around (no I won’t)
And I’ll be gone
And I won’t always be down
Because I’m giving it up to you (no, no no)
And you know this much is true
As time moves on, I’m gonna be gone
Because I’m moving on
I’m moving on, baby
I’m moving on, moving on
I’ll be gone
Yes I will

Orae-doen jeongwon Older Garden 2007

http://imdb.com/title/tt0939911/

Flat, bored
Survivors in the tragedy of Korean history.
A life between the past and the present.
Something that we might lost.
Love, Ideology, Let me see.
What is the purpose of this movie?
the painful result of that tragedy,
if it's not, the present separated from the past.
or the uncertain future.
in a positive view this is smooth
but this is poor contemplation.
all things in this movie were made by dim traces.
So Older garden is going to nothing.
As well as, lead actor Jee is terrible.
he wasn't fit for the role.
but female actors are better than any other actors in this film.
And the lead actress Yeom is the best for me.
she swallowed everything the role present.
The past remained by the pictures.
it's just mere changing from fainted future happiness.
And the horrible part is CG about suicide by fire.
The problem of this film is
show nothing that he wanna say.
It's selfishness that you want to the others are understanding you don't say.
After all, i remembered Lead actress Yeom, Jeong Ah.

Yeolhyeol-nama Cruel Winter Blues 2006

This film's main role is Seol GyoungGoo
if he wasn't i shoudnt watching this.
in conclusion this is no good.
Now i am tired of Korean Mob films.
this film makes no more future or hope from korean mob genre.
Anyway, mob films are based on the fake story
(of course real story is exisit, but i mean nearly all of them)
so this movie tried not to make them counterfeit, but that is failed.f
irst, failure of Making Character and wrong comprehension.
And Most of all, there is no fun, no interesting point.
Seol's acting is disappointed, some kind of parody about Yang DongGeun.
i have no expectation from Cho
Na Moon Hee - She is doing anything she wants, but this not the best.
A scene on the screen is beautiful,
but no match for anything
That's just meaningless landscape.

Elliott Yamin - Wait for you

Elliott Yamin Wait For You Lyrics

I never felt nothing in the world like this before
Now I’m missing you and I’m wishing you would come back through my door
Why did you have to go?
You could have let me know; so now I’m all alone

Girl you could have stayed but you wouldn’t give me a chance
With you not around it’s a little bit more than I can stand
And all my tears they keep runnin’ down my face
Why did you turn away?

So why does your pride make you run and hide
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it’s a lie what you keep inside
This is not how you want it to be

So baby I will wait for you
Cause I don’t know what else I can do
Don’t tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I'm fine it just ain’t true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I’ll wait for you

Been a long time since you called me
(How could you forget about me)
You gotta be feeling crazy
How can you walk away
(When) Everything stays the same
I just can’t do it baby

What will it take to make you come back
Girl I told you what it is and it just ain’t like that
Why can’t you look at me?
You’re still in love with me
Don’t leave me crying
[ Lyrics found on http://www.metrolyrics.com ]


Baby why can’t we just start all over again
Get it back to the way it was
If you give me a chance I can love you right
But you’re telling me it won’t be enough

So baby I will wait for you
Cause I don’t know what else I can do
Don’t tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I'm fine it just ain’t true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I’ll wait for you

So why does your pride make you run and hide
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it’s a lie what you’re keeping inside
That is not how you want it to be

Baby I will wait for you
Baby I will wait for you
If it’s the last thing I do

Baby I will wait for you
Cause I don’t know what else I can do
Don’t tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I'm fine it just ain’t true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I’ll wait for you
I’ll be waiting …

Frank Miller's 300 (Graphic Novel)

This is the Orginal Graphic Novel of the movie " 300"

It's not impressed because i am used to manhwa(korean comics) or manga(japnese comics)

This kind of American Comics or Graphic Novel is strange to me.

but the movie "300" is expecting for the quality of Visual and Scale.

this story is combat or war between 300 spartan soldiers and 1 million Persian invaders.

i will write the review when i c the movie.

This Graphic novel is a kind of cool stuff for me

Death Note : The last name 2006

1년만에 개봉한 데스노트 완결편.
원작만화 자체도 초반의 참신한 설정과 구성이뒤로 넘어가면서
허접개판이 되어버린 스토리를 가지고있어서
별로 기대는 하지 않았었지만, 역시나라고 할까?

마지막 스토리를 L의 승리라는 식으로 바꿔버리는
만행을 저질렀음에도 불구하고 역시 허술한 스토리라인과
안습인 배우들의 연기는 볼만한 구석이 전혀 없었다.

전편과 후편을 비교한다면전편이 차라리 낫다.
역시 기본적인 스토리의 완성도가 없이는힘들겠지.
