I don’t wanna feel Blue anymore...

I had very high expectations of this film so I kept it for a special time but I reckoned that way the other half of summer shall pass so I watched it yesterday.

My high expectations were mostly because of Ken Nikai. I absolutely love Kagen no Tsuki so I expected something of the kind but alas that wasn't it. Which is strange, actually because the whole mystery-solving kids thing was similar. The actors too. Sugizo also made a very brief appearance. But for some reason the film did not leave a strong impression on me. It just felt like a nice film for kids, I guess.

Anyway, the most unexpected part was that it almost feels like the whole film was made to show Shige's coolness. I mean really, he was so badass in this film it's not even funny. And you know he's gonna get the girl the moment she looks at him. I honestly don't think his acting was very good but maybe that was because he had to act really cool despite feeling anything but. The telescope thing suited him though. And the mystery solving. At any rate, he looks really damn cute. Hiraoka Yuta, on the other hand, had to act as the absolute idiot which only highlights Shige's coolness.

The whole Coca-Cola thing was kinda annoying. I mean it's probably even more annoying having 5 sponsor CM cuts but it just looked so out of place in this film, so ruining the atmosphere it felt like a violation. They never even ate soba at that sobaya once, just drank the damn cola.

At any rate, this might not be a masterpiece but it's a nice film to watch.

@темы: movies, Shige is my spirit animal
