Movie Review: Great eye candy, but not much else
Summary: 3 Stars
Quite popular in its home country of Japan, "Boys Love" (2006) has just recently been released in a subtitled DVD in the US.
The film tells the story of Mamiya, a 20-something journalist, who is assigned to do a profile on popular teen model (and amateur artist) Kisaragi Noeru. Mature for his years, Noeru takes control of their meeting, and later of Mamiya himself, as he introduces the young journalist to his first experience with man-to-man sex. Visiting Noeru a few days later, Mamiya learns that Noeru is more than a bit of a slut, and seems incapable of settling down with one person or keeping his word to anyone, including his best friend Chidori, who has an unrequitted crush on Noeru. After Noelru picks the wrong person to go home with, and is the victim of a gaybashing, Mamiya learns from him why he is leery of forming a close relationship with other. amd pledges to be there for him, which turns Chidori into a jealous rage.
It's actually a simplistic story, stretched out to fill almost an hour and a half. Though the film is chock full of great eye candy, the acting is a bit "over the top" and tedious at times. I could also have done without the "proverbs" used by the director to transition from one scene to another, which I found to be anmoying after a while. The ending seemed contrived and hardly logical, as well as unnecessarily depressing. I would rate it four out of five stars for the eye candy, but only two for everything else, so let's call it an average of three stars out of five.
Movie Review: Good Love Story!
Summary: 3 Stars
This is the story of 2 boys who get to know each other due to professional appointments. They are too different from each other and what was supposed to be a professional appointment becomes perssonal.
One deals with past frustration inducing us to understand the whys of his promiscuous behavior.
While the other takes his responsibilities very seriously but finds different feelings after being haressed by this young handsome model who is not even a bit shy.
At first this movie may seem a little too dramatic.
But if we consider the point of view thru the eyes of a different culture such as the japanese culture its possible to understand better the elements stressed during the story.
It is far from being a great movie but I'd say the way the story was set in a traditional society and the development of the sexuality as well as the way the author deals with the steriotypes it was worth it.
I will wait for the next BOYS LOVE movies to be available at Amazon.com as they already exist in Japan (scenes available at youtube.com)
Movie Review: good yet bad
Summary: 3 Stars
when i came across this movie, i could not wait to see it.
i patiently waited two months and finally bought it.
boy was i upset!!
the movie starts nice and simple, soon you get into it and begin to cope with the characters, then, at the end you are left with a bitter sweet feeling.
i would watch this movie only if i were in a depressing mood!
Movie Review: Good Movie, But Sad
Summary: 3 Stars
Being a fan of Japanese actors, I saw this movie when it was originally released in Japan. It's worth watching, but there are extremely sad parts that I definitely wasn't prepared for from the initial blurb. If you can't handle movies like that, I wouldn't recommend it. Otherwise, it's a great film for the genre.
