As a movie....I guess it was fun to watch...there were a lot of problems with it, but it's definitely a memorable movie.
It's sorta cheesy, but not that bad since it was based off of a novel, so it at least has some thought into it, but the acting was off at some parts and NOBODY CRIED!! WHY?! If I was in a situation and I saw one of my classmates die I would be screaming and crying hysterically, yet they all just made scared expressions...SCARED. As if they had no remorse for their classmate that just died...I mean, really? And then the music would change and play at the most random of times. Like when Mitsuko died some other song was playing, and then suddenly it played this:
Which I really love mainly because it was in End of Evangelion (maybe I should love it for the aesthetic and historical beauty...which I do...but most human beings associate their loves with something else...or have another reason for being attached to a song rather than it just sounds good)
What bothered me the most about the movie is that they made it too action-y...less psychological. COME ON PEOPLE! Make it psychological and you've just won the critics, also the audience can have fun interpreting it...but, nope, they didn't.
Well, the book sorta was action-y...but I liked reading about the side-stories.
But I guess the movie did a good job at making people want to read it the book. Now I want to read it again! XD
Many of my favourite parts were taken out of this...actually, probably all of them...except for some of the Hiroki ones...and Shinji's death didn't seem has depressing, I guess...though it still was, because you didn't really know what he was planning on doing.
A lot of it was confusing...and Kitano...what the heck?! The actor did a great job, but the character was really odd...totally unneeded relationship with Noriko...
Also...Kazuo's death...COME ONE MOVIE!! TT^TT That was the lamest thing I've ever seen. The death in the book was sooooo freaking intense, and the best thing they could do was draw some black lines down his eyes and give him weird contacts...That made absolutely no sense. Why was he suddenly wearing make-up like that? I'd really like to know, movie.
What else...? Sakura and what-his-name's death...didn't even seem like they were a couple...and in the book I really enjoyed the drama Yoshimi and Yoji...but in the movie they both hanged themselves...what the heck? Mitsuko kills them, why didn't they just show that...Or is the movie saying that she's lying...? No, that wouldn't make any sense...
My favourite part was the Mitsuko and Yuichiro Takaguchi scene....I mean...not that I really wanted to see it, but it showed how twist Mitsuko is, but it also gives you a bit of sympathy for her because she actually did not want to kill this person and liked this person.

I just remembered I need to turn in one of my papers for English...O.O
Gotta go do that, too.
I'm working on my friend's pic right now. I'm making it too complicated...XD I'll post it when it's done and after I've given it to her.
I am finished with my art project 75%! All that needs to be done now is it needs to be painted~! :D
And then my World History...ehh...I don't HAVE to finish it this weekend...*shrugs* I might try again tomorrow...or whatever.
My parents are watching The Hunger Games and tried their hardest to make me watch it, but I wanted to watch Battle Royale. I'd rather watch a movie that I know and respect the celebs in it (like You Shibasaki)...and not that I really respect the guy, but Tatsuya Fujiwara (and I'm sure some others, but I can't remember them right now). Plus I actually have read Battle Royale...I liked it, but wouldn't have liked it if it were written more for the romance, which I heard The Hunger Games was....
Also, The Hunger Games seems too magical for my tastes...
But really...
YOU GUYS HAVE THESE GREAT PLOT IDEAS BUT NO DIVING INTO PSYCHOLOGY?! Just making them for the teens...No, man, the best way to make something for all ages it to make it first for the audience and underneath for the adults, or the people who actually want to think about it.
These kinds of things are soooo eassyyy monnnn...just set up your story...then set up the real story and subtly hint at the real story.
The movie 12 did a great job at that. No, it wasn't that psychology, but it did have a hidden real story in it which made it memorable movie that made you think about it over and over again afterwards trying to make sense of it all.

This gives me an idea for a post...
I'll come back to you guys (gosh, so many posts today..'orz)
