Meguro Ren !!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a fan WOW !!!
I don't even think I've ever watched a movie like this before. It was as if this was a mind trip lol. Was it an anime? Supernatural-ish? Quite honestly it was hard to follow. Meguro Ren is a STAR !!! Electric and so much charisma in every scene. He is IT !!!! It's almost as if he jumped out of anime? He was insane in this !!!I was not even familiar with him prior to this but he gained a fan in me .Loved the Female Lead acting as well. Im rating this high because the Lead actor was everything, cinematography was amazing and I loved the special effects as well. It was well worth the wait ( we were waiting for English subtitles forever lol so thank you to the kind subbers).Esta resenha foi útil para você?
For CQL Fans
Between Fatal Journey and The Living Dead, this is definitely the better spin-off movie, but it's still missing some cohesion. I watched this mostly because I wanted to see Nie Huaisang's perspective as he started his grand plan, but the story really focuses instead on the actual ancestral tomb incident and the jump to the mastermind prequel is really sudden and feels tacked on at the end.I think Nie Mingjue is the most true to his character in this movie, and it was wonderful seeing the relationship between the brothers, but on the other hand...Nie Huaisang actually feels kind of out of character. He was always characterized as someone who didn't want to take on responsibility and just wanted to enjoy life — until he was forced to act. There were several moments here where he became really courageous and outspoken about justice and it just didn't really feel like him.
I do think this was good fanservice and as a huge fan of CQL it made me happy to see everyone again (even (especially) the villains).

Trailer k filmu mě navnadil na nejvyšší míru očekávání. Přesto, že příběh je dosti hluboký, celkové vyznění snímku na mě zapůsobilo o trošku méně, možná i kvůli mírné roztěkanosti zpracování. Oba herci postav v mladém věku byli moc sympatičtí a herecky na mě zapůsobil Edward Chen (A-han), kterému jsem nejvíce vše věřil. Ve svém mladém věku žil A-han v taiwanské temné době homosexuálů, přesto bojoval za své vlastní city a stal se jedním z těch, kteří proto přišli o své vlastní štěstí, a to si na tomto filmu cením nejvíce. Nutno ale říci, že Taiwan za tu dobu udělal velký krok kupředu v toleranci mužů, co mají rádi muže...

Super light romcom
Sometimes in life you want something easily digested and sweeter than the sweetest honey. If so, this is the pick for you.Imagine a classic American Hallmark Christmas movie. Then exchange the Christmas theme for “k-drama fan girl gets to meet her idol oppa”, then you get the idea of the story.
It is light, it is full of cliches and prejudices about k-drama fan girls and k-drama actors, but it’s also fun and heartwarming.
As long as you are aware this is NOT a movie with an intriguing or complex storyline or with deeper insights to the characters life or feelings, and you want a super light romcom - you will take this movie to your heart.

Thought provoking. Confronting the arrogance of the ´normal´. Truly outstanding acting performance
"Oasis" was highly celebrated by international film critics in 2002. Director and screenwriter Lee Chang-dong, who had with "Peppermint Candy" in 1999 already contributed a milestone in Korean film art, came up with this unusual love story between a mentally retarded young man and a young woman with infantile cerebral palsy. In doing so, he once again relied on Sol Kyung-gu and Moon So-ri, who had proven themselves as a couple in "Peppermint Candy" and who now once again deliver truly outstanding acting performances in "Oasis". The list of international awards – i.e. in Venice, Vancouver, Bergen, Brisbane, Seattle and Seville - as well as in South Korea, is long. And rightly so.“Oasis” is pure (independent) KMovie! It impressively embodies a great strength of South Korean movie production: ruthlessness! Even if social life is characterized by facades, coats, make-up and social reputations, modern South Korean cinema has (since the end of dictatorial censorship) proven what 'independence' really means. The freedom to finally show things the way they really are! Not being afraid of what is hurting, what is ugly, what is disgusting! The brutal revelation of the emotional abyss to which the human soul may be exposed over the course of a human life. Situations and moments in life that people tend/wish to quickly forget. The cruelties that people are capable of inflicting on each other. The look behind the facades and underneath the coats, where we are naked and without make-up, alone and vulnerable. But this is where we are sincere and real, too. From there, a new form of beauty and strength can grow. KMovies bring to light even the unloved, unpleasant, repressed, despised, perverted, uninhibited, disturbing human emotions with magnificent intensity, which are often presented so authentically that it hurts (because it's so true). The protagonists have no claim whatsoever to be likeable. This creative courage, when it comes to production and performance, as well as the audience´s willingness to open up to these cinematic works is (in my opinion) almost unique.
“Oasis” offers an impressive expression of this particular artistic attitude. This is a thought provoking KMovie confronting the arrogance of the ´normal´. The plot is about a young woman and a young man who – in the eyes of their social environment - preferably should be socially isolated and actually locked away, as they are supposedly unpresentable. Because of their disability, they are ultimately just a nuisance, causing work and trouble, irritating the 'normal' people with their unpredictable behavior, and actually not contributing anything... Because the families are ashamed of them.
The KMovie bluntly frames that social norms are in fact more important to 'us' than people. "Oasis" encourages to open up a bit and approach the lives of those 'waywards'. And lo and behold! They are sensitive, soulful people like 'us' - with feelings, dreams and longings. They are falling in love. They long for relationships. They are just people, too. Lovable people. Adults with their own lives.
'He' is a physically healthy man in his late 20s, but at the mental level of an 8 year old. He is strong, but easy to manipulate and rather simple-minded. 'She', on the other hand, is physically handicapped due to her severe infantile cerebral palsy to such an extent that she is dependent on help. Due to the impairment of her nervous system, which affects voluntary motor skills, speech disorders, spasms, as well as sensory and motor limitations are occurring, too. Intelligence isn't actually her problem, but that young woman in "Oasis" apparently wasn't given any specific assistance, just basic care. She has her difficulties communicating.
The way the families treat their ´waywards´ is horrendous. In fact, they are both unscrupulously exploited and abused. And both are helpless in their own ways. He doesn't fully grasp the situation. She is physically dependent on helping hands.
The romantic relationship between the two is quite something else. Their start can be considered downright dubious. And yet, as the odd couple they are, they both are happy together. The picture of the oasis on the wall jumps out of its frame and fills the room. In their togetherness, the couple has created an almost magic space where their souls can relate and recharge, where they can be a different person. It is touching, indeed. ´He´ is a responsible man and she is a desirable woman! Yet, this reality is completely alien to their social environment. The families don't have the slightest idea, that this could be even possible: those two ´handicapped losers´ being actually able to genuinely caring for each other and loving each other just the way they are. Not even their closest families honestly tried to truly reach out and attempt to understand their brother/sister.
Bringing the quality of this relationship against all odds authentically to the audience is the unique beauty and strength of “Oasis”. Although 'beauty' is not otherwise something, one would directly associate with this movie. There is hardly any beauty in the world of those two protagonists, where their environment isn´t taking them serious at all. They are either patronized or treated in a disrespectful and disdainful manner. Nevertheless, their feelings for each other radiate beauty and grace. Interaction may inevitably be rather awkward, but still they find their unique way. In the end, it all comes to an almost passionately brilliant finale when HE risks everything in order to by all means keep his promise to HER: sawing off the branches of the tree in front of her window, which only cast shadows on her beloved oasis picture on the wall...
The KMovie leaves us with our thoughts behind. Touched. And - substitutional for those two families, the police, the neighbors etc., who in their arrogance are blind to the inner world of those two lovers – ashamed, too.

A Trilogy Masterpiece
If you had asked me way back when if I would have given this whole trilogy a thumbs-up, I would not have. I dislike intensely exploitive and abusive-themed series, especially gay ones, for entertainment purposes, but this one was so beautifully choreographed and focused. It is a love story defined by them, experienced by them, and simply words are inadequate to identify their relationship. I do not know how to describe their relationship beyond inadequate words like fervent, inseparable, and unending. Their ‘red string’ to borrow a concept is tied inexorably between them. If there is a connection greater than ‘soulmates’ these two share that. This, along with the other two, are masterpieces of artistry and cinematic storytelling.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
THAT GOOD OMG
The story is good, a policeman can already be said to be close to retirement but is still very totality to eradicate existing crimes.For action, you can say it's pretty okay.
And for the comedy part, it's quite entertaining for me considering it's not a comedy genre but action, but I think it's funny and there's just their random behavior.
The story part of the cast touched me to their company, their behavior, loyalty is in my opinion the interesting point in this story.
This movie was released in 2015 yep ... It's been 8 years almost 9 years but it can still be enjoyed, there is no time limit that makes it too late to watch.

A love story spanning different worlds
The story begun as everything normal yet unexpectedly perfect but soon the truth is revealed.The pacing of the story was just perfect. A perfect beginning, a perfect ending. Story-wise, I have no complaint.
Acting was good, Nana Komatsu particularly stood out from the rest.
Classic Japanese Cinematography and direction, totally loved it!
Also the music compositions and direction, absolutely top notch, memorable and crafted around the story!!
Great production quality as well.
If you are looking for a bittersweet romance drama movie with a twist, this is it!! Even if you aren't looking for it, watch this anyway if you have the time!!

Interesting but felt short of expectations
The premise itself feels interesting and the movie also builds a somewhat strong premise. However the premise of sci-fi soon turns into a romantic ride but doesn't fully commit to either. Overall the story felt kinda cut short due to time restraints, so going for series approach would have been better. Also, the ending, although conclusive, felt kinda abrupt. There are multiple plot holes as well which are nothing groundbreaking but I would have liked for them to be addressed in a proper manner, but once again that can be excused due to the time constraints in a movie.Acting wise everyone does an okay job nothing extraordinary. Cinematography is excellent, classic japanese style, expressing the mundane-ness of everyday life even while capturing a totally different story.
The music certainly stands out if you are a western classical lover like me. The music direction was on point and so were the compositions. Totally loved it!
All in all if you have 2 hrs to spare, a fan of Kento Yamazaki or just an lover of Japanese cinema, give it a go.

MOVIE SCREAMS COME HERE IF YOU HAVE WATCHED ORIGINAL VERSION
Having watched all the versions of unrequited love , I feel that I am qualified enough to talk about Blue Summer .The story of unrequited love is really close to my heart because I can really relate to it .
My Blue Summer lacks in one of the major things its predecessors had , THE SENSE OF LONGING , yeah I get it that unrequited love is a slow burn feeling , that heartache , the pain comes gradually so those emotions are difficult to show in just two hour movie . The emotional connect of the viewers to this kind of feeling will also take time. But I have seen better movies on same theme which are able to convey the same thing very effectively .
the movie came out very bland , because I feel that they have really changed the feeling of the story all together . The male lead already knew about the FL 's love before they met in uni ?!!!!!!! What ?That just takes away the essence of the story , it takes away the essence of their relationship building from zero level .
Another thing I wanna point out is that this movie is very dark in its colours , VERY DARK . I get it you are trying to create some sort of sad backdrop but it overshadowed even the scenes which were meant to be happy . In this case the original 2019 version did a great job .(Ps on contrary 2021 just whitewashed everything which I didn't like either )
Next I really didn't like the way Male lead acted .I couldn't feel any chemistry whatsoever . In previous version SH gets infatuated by LZ somewhere because how well she knows him inside out but here , nope .
And and and the worst part is the raincoat scene which in previous ones was one of the actual cause of drama , here comes as a sweet moment between the leads . Many small details such as Baili crying only for 10 mins etc. are there to pay tribute to the og story but really couldn't do it right .
At last I wanna say you might find it really boring if you haven't watched the previous versions and feel no emotional connect and if you have watched the previous ones you might just get angry . YOU SHOULD JUST GO FOR 2019 ONE .

How the next relationship between Xavier (for me the irresistible Tony Labrusca) and Mica will turn out, you will find out in this film, which is not a typical BL. Acting at a high level, especially the main two characters. Predictable plot, it must be reckoned that it is an ASIAN movie. Those who know understand what I mean, Those who don't will spew venom and filth here.
The catchy theme song, which is sung by the actors Tony and JC themselves in slow motion towards the end (I added both clips to the Videos folder), I had to deduct a point because the guitar was out of tune in the last third (it's about the third Asian movie, do Asians have no musical ear at all?).
Some great shots of the Philippine seascape. Overall, a very nice lamp
Film navazuje na původní seriál a je to čerstvá únorová novinka (díky karcikarlovi za link). Xavier se rozešel s Micem a vrátil se ke své přítelkyni. Celá parta přátel odjíždí do prázdninového rezortu na literární soustředění.
Jak dopadne další vztah Xaviera (pro mě neodolatelný Tony Labrusca) a Mica se dozvíte z tohoto filmu, který není typickým BL. Herectví na vysoké úrovni, především hlavních dvou postav. Předvídatelný děj, je nutno počítat, že je to ASIJSKÝ film. Ti, kteří ví, chápou, co jsem tím chtěl říci, Ti, kteří ne, zde budou plivat jed a špínu.
Chytlavá ústřední píseň, kterou ke konci zpomalenou zpívají i samotní herci Tony a JC (oba klipy jsem přidal do složky Videa), bod jsem byl nucen ubrat za to, že v poslední třetině byla ta kytara rozladěná (je to už asi třetí asijský film, to nemají Asiaté vůbec žádný hudební sluch?).
Pár skvělých záběrů filipínské přímořské krajiny. Celkově moc fajn žážitek.

War is Absurd
It has nakid children saving freshly sold-to-the-brothel girls while singing a jaunty tune.Seriously it is a musical about early WWII Japan before the west got involved. It is so absurd in its portrayal of the ridiculousness of the war itself shown through child's play and the seriousness of reality.
The mostly child cast carries the movie through the harshness of resource poor Japan through symbolism and play. Mock wars to mimic the actual war that is waging at the time. Its kinda deep if you know history and its effects on societies. the thing that brought the rating down for me was the unneeded use of unclothed children.

REVENGE!
REVENGE! that is the theme of this drama, so watch as karma removes bad people in the way of revenge, but do not look for a strong plot outside of REVENGE! cause there isn't any. Not super memorable out of any of the other female revenge killer movies. This is supposed to be the inspiration for the Kill Bill movies.This is like a super hero origin story. "Born in dark prison, father unknown, her destiny to carry out her mothers revenge for the death of her husband and son" . (Make sure to say that previous line with movie trailer voice over). She is then sent to train with JiJi hard-ass, master of making little girls stay in moving barrels. The Deaths are super hilariously over acted. Like VERY BAD. The blood color and thickness off even for the 70's.
Watch it if you liked Kill Bill or you crave ladies with Katanas and lotsa fake blood.

Karma is a beautiful fearful bitch.
The story revolves around a man that was abandoned as a child and was brought up by the hard knock life of the streets. Money was his only goal and little old ladies were easy targets. Helps an elder lady while on the lam for his crimes because he just could not leave her after a moped accident. Thus the story begins.The story is told very slowly, almost unbearably slow, but the redemption arc is amazing and how we all love karma and her wicked ways of balancing justice is woven perfectly into this story.
The cast does an amazing job of bringing these characters to life to tell the story written by some excellent screenwriters. If you have the patience for this i recommend it.

this made me want to kill myself
as much as the first movie in the series already wasn't a masterpiece, this shit it just ridiculous. first of all, at least 20 minutes of both second and third part is just repeating scenes from the first part (the aoyama and child haruto kiss scene is repeated at least a thousand times). also the same piano piece plays the entire time thru the whole series, which after a while made me lose my mind. the plot is horribly stupid, too many poor plot twists that didnt make much sense, but i personally enjoy watching absolute dogshit. the problem is, WHY IS IT SO BORING? without the unnecessary repetitions, the second and third part could make a decent one if merged together. but as separate movies, theyre just pretty fucking boring, especially this one. also, was ruka being fucking dubbed the entire time? i couldnt focus on anything else than his voice being unnaturally louder, clearer and emotionless than the others. honestly the only good thing about this part would be that one seiya and the crusty old man sex scene, just because i find seiyas actor insanely attractive. nothing more to it, the first part was definitely enoughEsta resenha foi útil para você?
