Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
rea-43327 The girls in this film are knock-outs. Their hard bodies, beautiful legs, stylish hair and sense of fashion is what makes films great in the first place: a place to fantasize, rejoice about and smile.These are not American gross-out women trying to make virtue of their lard and making fart jokes in Ghostbusters. This is a film from another planet.there are tender moments of humanity, a real tragedy or two and then upscale feminine wiles that make it a pleasure to watch. This is why the phrase eye candy was invented.And then American women keep wondering why men are attracted to these women. Watch the film and find out! PS: could someone that cute stalk me or bring me a pineapple please?
bwt-97216 unlike in the West where women are encouraged to be repulsive and gross and sexist and ... hey WOMEN"S POWER (and all that crap).I need to CLEARLY get into Japanese films. if this movie is any indication that is where the fun and adventure and cuteness is.This film has a story and it is interesting. It teaches you something. The women are hot and cute and you are actually interested in them. It could have been another hour longer and I would have watched more of it.The stalker girl is just so beautiful and smart. Her friends are just eye candies that also draw you in with their triumphs and tragedies. The man has personality and you want to know what will happen to him. The cousin subplot and her contributions are also noteworthy. Wow, I wish the cast, writer and director hell even the studio that made this would tour the west on a seminar on how to attract people to film and unlike Hollywood not push people away from film!
Lord Paolo Ashenport A showcase of then national(?) pride, Japanese AV idol, Sasaki Nozomi - literally. This could be made into a music video and would still purvey the whole story. Eye candy in a better and wholesome package. In any case, I don't know what my standards (or of culture) are at right now but for the material, she can definitely act her part.Forget character development unlike similar themed Asian dramas like "Crying Out Love in the Center of the World (Sekai no Chûshin de, Ai o Sakebu, 2004)", "A Moment to Remember (Nae Meorisokui Jiwoogae, 2004)", "My Girl and I (Parang-juuibo, 2005), "Closer to Heaven (Nae Sa-rang Nae Gyeol-ae)", "Forever and a Day (Filipino, 2011)", "All My Life" (Filipino, 2004)", etc. OR even "Untamed Heart (American, 1993); 'tis a whirlwind of accelerated emotions, situations and conflicts. Don't expect much conveyance of emotions either. I get more uneasy from watching uploaded commercials of a Thai insurance company.Cinematography was beautifully shot regardless of location, with the perennial focus and zoom on Miss Sasaki's too perfect a profile not lacking. It was too much to not ponder on that I reluctantly asked my teen-aged daughter (whom I was watching this with, and yes there where uncomfortable parts!); "Can they Photoshop™ a whole movie?".Plot was not as hard to miss, just that it was progressing too fast to be expected. If it was made into a mini-series then much would rather make sense (like Hotaru no Hikari, which is WAY out of context). Other characters or sub-plots are just as forgettable as they come and go. Culture shock would be not as hard as to come by judging from various taboos the story includes (excessive and disturbing school bullying, disturbing "part-time" jobs for minors, co-habitation situations, etc.).All in all, its characters are beautiful, flaws are bearable and definitely watchable just don't expect it to conform to your norms and values (maybe unless you're from where this movie came from).
elsinefilo 17 year old Rio (Nozomi Sasaki),along with her friends, is the cynosure of the high school she attends. Due to her traumatic pass that turned Rio bad,Rio starts to be kind only to those she could use. One day, Rio pretends to save a girl named Tomoko (Hikaru Yamamoto) from getting bullied by Naoko (Araki Nanaki). The whole plan is actually done to talk Tomoko into being part of the compensated dating service they are involved in. The girls just have the time of their lives, entertain older guys and they accumulate money they can easily spend. During one of their spending sprees, the girls take their photographs. When they want to get the photographs developed, they realize the photography studio gave them the photographs of someone else by mistaking the surname "Ozawa". Rio just calls the guy, Kouki (Shosuke Tanihara) and arranges to meet him to exchange the photos. When they meet, Rio just feels a sudden urge to get to know this guy better and so she makes up different things to try to make him like her. Thirty two-year old college professor Ozawa Kouki, is unfortunately the opposite of Rio's character emotionally. He is anti-social,depressive and simply not good with people while the very subject,people are just the specialty of the feisty Rio.While love emotionally transforms Rio, it will fill Ozawa with keen or buoyant enjoyment of life.This plot refers to a predictable romance structure actually and yes, Tenshi no koi is indeed predictably structured and heavily formulaic. At points it sounds promising and offbeat but then again it meanders slowly through the typical initiation scenes of a romantic movie. Still, I can't say I did not like this movie in spite of all the lack of subtlety because Nozomi Sasaki turns the eyesore into a cynosure. She plays the high schooler most beautifully and sweetly. The chemistry between her and Shosuke Tanihara is just so lovely and that there are some truly memorable scenes in the movie. For instance,at one point in the movie Rio just wants to have more time with the professor and she just follows her no matter what. When he asks him why she just follows her she answers back simply:"Because you're there." Upon her insistence, the professor retorts : "Listen, some might call this "stalking." Rio's answer is just as sweet as it gets :" You ever see a stalker this cute before?" Other than the perfect personal chemistry between the stars, the movie touches upon a repeatedly treated subject in romantic movies "significant age difference" between the lovers. What makes this movie different from the similar romantic movies is that the age difference does not necessarily reflect a normality of modern age.In time,love between,say, a 60 year old man and 35 year old woman became a normalcy but love which refers to a teacher-student relationship is still a taboo in most places.In the movie, you feel that Rio's love is not teased as a student crush. You really see that her feelings are taken seriously in a non-judgmental way. Last but not least, do not let the film poster mislead you into assuming that this is one raunchy movie. The movie which shows the bare back of Nozomi Sasaki must be intended to attract the fans of her.Just enjoy the movie and the great soundtracks!
