Suka Suka Film [4]

Sweet Rain: Accuracy Of Death

Country: Japan
Language: Japanese
Subtitles: English
Cast:
- Junko Fuji
- Mitsuru Fukikoshi

Runtime: 113 mins

Synopsis:
Adapted from the bestselling novel by Kotaro Isaka “The Accuracy of Death”. Chiba (Takeshi Kaneshiro) appears seven days before a person dies an unexpected death. His job is to observe the person for seven days, and then decide either to ‘execute’ or ‘pass over’. Getting his work quickly out of the way, he goes to the listening booth of a CD shop and indulges in his favorite pastime, listening to ‘humanity’s greatest invention’: music.

Chiba is a Grim Reaper, a supernatural being who closely watches someone who is about to die in a sudden and unexpected way. No illnesses, no suicides: a Reaper’s job is to decide if the upcoming appointment with death should be marked in the agenda as “proceed” or “suspend”. “Suspend” means that the person will survive for now, and is only granted when a reaper gets the impression that his subject still has to reach the most important part of his/her life. But how do you put a value on what is important in someone’s life, especially if you are as clueless about human behavior as Chiba is?

The film shows Chiba doing three of these assignments, each at least twenty years apart from the others. However, because Chiba’s decision in the first assignment has noticeable impact on the future ones, he actually starts to learn a new thing or two about life…

Review:
Jujur aja waktu pertama kali liat film ini yang diliat bukan sinopsisnya tapi POSTERNYA!!! He he he ngeliat si Takeshi Kaneshiro!! Eye catching banget!! Abis itu baca sinopsisnya ternyata cukup menarik juga....

Abis ditonton ternyata filmnya baguss!!! Gag nyangka sih, si Shinigami Chiba lucu bgt!! Dateng ke dunia manusia tapi clueless banget. Udah gitu malah ada yang jadi yakuza pula. Peran si Chiba ini rasanya kayak gabungan filmnya Nicholas Cage yang City Of Angel sama Brad Pitt yang Met Joe Black. Klo smua Shinigami kayak Brad Pitt ama Takeshi Kaneshiro gimana y???

Overall worth itu banget nonton film ini selain bisa ngeliat kegantengan Takeshi Kaneshiro!! Wkwkwkwkwkwkw.....

Review
Pertama kali liat kirain ni dorama model-model Poor Prince Tarou, namanya sama lagi!! Taro juga, he he he ternyata bukan walaupun dorama ini sama-sama lucu!!! Si Aya Ueto jadi cewek kaya banget pewaris jaringan hotel namanya Alice. Pokoknya kaya Paris Hilton versi Jepang gitu deh. Mirip banget deh… sama2 pewaris hotel, bukan line clothing, gonta-ganti pacar…. Hmmmm….. Mungkin inspirasi awalnya si Paris Hilton kali y?????

Dorama ini seru soalnya temanya beda gitu, biasanya kan si cewek yang miskin trus cowoknya yang tajirrr abis gitu. Ini kebalikannya lah, cowoknya super duper miskin sampe klo sarapan cuma nasi ama telur ayam pake kecap asin. Mentah pula si telur ayam tuh!!! Apalagi yang jadi anak-anaknya Taro tuh lucu bgt!!!!!!!!!!!

Pokoknya dorama ini bener-bener a breath of fresh air dari tipikal dorama-dorama ala Cinderella yang ketemu pangerannya gitu!!! Definitely worth watching!!!

Suka Suka Film [1]

Tokyo Shounen a.k.a Tokyo Boy

Country: Japan
Year: 2008
Genre: Myster, Romance

Plot:
Minato is a young girl who was traumatized at a young age by being abandoned by her parents and left with her senile grandmother. She frequently corresponds with a pen-pal named Night, a boy about the same age as her that she's never actually seen in person. Although Minato and Night are very different - Minato is upbeat while Night is brooding, they get along anyway and she regularly updates him on the happenings in her daily life. Minato is even willing to confide in Night that she's falling in love with a boy she's recently met named Sho.

One day she wakes up and finds Sho acting extremely distant and tentative around her. She suspects Night may have something to do with this so she arranges to meet him at the mail box. However, he never shows. As it turns out Night is actually Minato's overprotective split personality and has been trying to drive Sho away by bullying him whenever he had control of her body.

Review:
Wah wah gag nyangka akting Maki disini keren bgt!!!
Karakter antara Minato sama Night bener2 beda n Maki bisa dapet bgt disini.
Emang salut deh buat Maki!! She's awesome..
Buat yang biasanya suka liat Maki yg kawai di film ini bisa ngeliat sisi Maki yg beda bgt sebagai Night...
Meskipun alurnya rada lambat sih... yah mungkin buat yang gag suka bisa bosen nontonnya.
Tapi ide ceritanya cukup unik, overall film ini dirate 4 bintang!!
But it's still worth to watch!!!
