Hotto Gimikku: Gâru Mîtsu Bôi

I understand that the film is quite a show of the complexity of the youth. But sometimes the complexity of the presentation doesn't necessarily make the story difficult to understand. And I think the movie didn't reach the peak of the story. The audience doesn't really understand the theme. The audience was unable to grasp the essence of the story. At this point I'm rating only 4, but if the synopsis of the story is better then I'll give it 5. Overall, I'm quite disappointed with the story.

I read the manga and liked it a lot, so I had high expectations, but the movie was one big disappointment... The plot is rushed and it's not explained properly, the dialogue is bad and the scenes seem disconnected, like they were just thrown together randomly. One redeeming grace is the background music, like Pachelbel's Canon in D (one of my favourite classical pieces) and Beethoven's Fur Elise, though the latter was often remixed in modern and completely inappropriate versions. The story had great potential, too bad they made a mess out of the movie :(

Have to say, the story is really weird and a bit difficult to keep up with. I'll probably read the manga to fill in some gaps but it was alright. I do like the somewhat character development from ryoki but that was kinda it. All the male leads were toxic but he was the only option I guess. The cinematography though, wow, that really blew me away, I'd watch the film purely for that. The acting is fairly mediocre. Nothing extravagant apart from the shots taken. Director did well! Apart from that don't expect anything more.

I was expecting this movie for a long time, and it's not worth it. First, about the characters' appearances. It really bugs me that the hair of the characters keep the face of the actors hidden. It's really hard to see their expression with that kind of hairstyle. Besides, they do not look good in this movie as they do in real life. Make up artists should really do something about that. Second, about the way they shoot the movie. It's really confusing to me who have no idea about the manga and just saw this for the first time. It's really rush and the conversations seem disconnected. Some scenes just make me feel dizzy. I really don't like the way they shoot the movie. Also, it feels like some unprofessional people do this because the resolution of the film is very low. I thought my internet connection was bad, but it wasn't. Ok, finally, about the actors. They seem to be inexperienced and not be able to pull this character off.
