Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon (2023)
Please watch!!
This show is so refreshingly different, interesting, and completely tuned in to the real life internal dark drama but with an optimistic outlook thinly painted on like a beautiful sheer fabric one can look through and see a glimpse of happiness. The dark stuggles with terrible family members are represented emotionally accurate through the characters reactions. Everything here is driven by deep emotional realism. Then there is a supernatural mystery and war room element that will keep action fans intrigued for what's to come. It's a deep, emotionally brilliant show, you really should give it a try.
Les Misérables (2012)
A Commoner's View
"Les Mis" was anything but miserable! From the opening note to the credit line the Acting was an impeccably forceful, gritty, masterpiece. Not that screen actors would present, or even mostly possess, the illustrious vocal prowess of many, many famed stage performances of this; however, the raw, emotional, realness of these vocal performances propelled the characters to highest rarely seen in any venue. The only peculiar vocal performance, obviously, was that of Russell Crowe, who gave the biggest risk to his celebrity and popularity. In my opinion, however, he will have grown tremendously in his further acting for the enormous amount of emotional fortitude this role required, and also to have had to sing directly into Hugh's face most of the time. The endeavor will outweigh the performance. Hugh...Hugh, Hugh, Hugh. What rare, magnanimous, awe you have inspired. This is your moment that will pale the rest of your career. The scarcity of this level of perfection is extreme, and you have achieved such. This is what the purity of entertainment and acting is about. Anne, your multitudes continue to change and amaze viewer's imaginations. A short but powerful statement. Amanda Seyfried provided a needed sweetness and charm and Eddie Redmayne showed both his vocal power and deep emotional nuance. Samantha Barks performance was particularly moving also. New fav duo SBC and HBC tickled the dark and sarcastic, comical child in those of us that always love them for it, as they commonly do. This film can be summarized by three main points: a beautiful artistic vision, viciously bold directing, and irreligiously brilliant acting. Not a must see, but a must experience film.
The Last Airbender (2010)
so sad....
First of all Noah Ringer isn't that bad, he just needs some more coaching on Aang's character. He should be more playful and childlike more than stoic monk the whole movie. Second of all, my relationship with M. Night Shyamalan has been greatly damaged by this movie. Everything he has done since the Village has suffered by writing mostly. I may never see another of his films after this, including another Avatar. The two key things that ruined this movie were writing and casting. The numerous story/plot changes were not needed to save time for the most part and the fire nation casting especially is the worst adaptation to screen that has ever been produced. Did anyone on this crew ever see what Zuko OR Iroh looked, sounded, or acted like in the series? Not apparently. Even the tiny changes like how the moon spirit was killed and how Yue became the moon spirit. Why change that? For 3.5 seconds better editing? I am very open minded about every film I have ever seen and there is extremely rarely a time I am so greatly disappointed. This genuinely was the worst adaptation I have ever seen. I could go on but I won't...
