Kamikaze Girls. This movie is cho saikou! So great and wittingly enjoyable. IT has got to be the most entertaining Japanese movie that I've watched. Thanks to dear Farule for recommending it to me. I will definitely check Nana out. Have watched the trailer and it seems interesting. Read at what one reviewer has to say about Kamikaze Girls:
"KAMIKAZE GIRLS is a good reminder of why movies are such joy when everything comes together in an imaginative way. KAMIKAZE GIRLS accomplishes this, not because it is different or bizarre, which it is, but because it is a tale told with a fine eye for detail and fully developed characters. We come to know Momoko and Ichigo, how they live and what they dream. As each attempts to avoid conformity, they both ultimately come to realize that they have become what they most dread. They are not the individuals they prided themselves for being but members of different groups on the fringe that comfort their need to belong, but also imposes a different barrier. A barrier that calls to mind the eloquent phrase by Groucho Marx: 'I wouldn’t want to join a club that would want me as a member.' Momoko and Ichigo find what is missing in their lives, a friend and confidante."
"If Kamikaze Girls had been made in the United States, it would have been just another boring film aimed at teenagers, perhaps starring Lindsay Lohan and Hillary Duff as the lonely teens who forge an unlikely friendship; by the end of the film they would have put aside their differences, learned how alike they really are, and formed a band, putting aside their quarrels for the sake of pop music. Fortunately for us, Kamikaze Girls is a Japanese film, not an American one, and instead of another boring teen flick we get to see a this colorful, quirky, fun little film about two lonely teens in rural Japan."
Ichigo is very pretty even behind those yankee clothes and Kyoko Fukada has definitely improved in her acting. So, for all movie lovers, you should not miss this flick. |
