Oh hey, it's February the 2nd, let's re-watch this for the umpteenth time. :D
Never get between a woman and her hairdresser!!!!
IN WHAT WORLD IS THIS EVEN PARTIALLY A COMEDY!
But yeah... can't remember the last time a movie made me this sad... and happy? I don't know. I just know I cried a lot and that this movie certainly is something special.
The most influential sci-fi movie that never got made.
This is an amazing documentary and Jodorowsky is an incredible person. The ensemble he created for the movie which ultimately failed to get produced was astonishing and influenced so much in the future... to think that Alien would've probably never been made (like it was) without all what came from this... Amazing...
We all know that Japanse game shows are insane but this?? How has one never heard of this before? I guess the fact that it was this early and basically "before" the true WWW taking of made it only really well know in Japan after all... but wow. What absolute insanity. I think I never watched ANYTHING before that I had to pause for a minute and just... cry. And this wild ride was not even 2/3's done.
A must watch in my opinion and I will go listen to some THE BRILLIANT GREEN now....
I totally lost it when it was revealed that Chihaya had been speaking on Arata's mailbox all that time... cried my eyes out.
What a wonderful 2-parter - what a joy!
It's been exactly 12 years since the Tôhoku earthquake and tsunami and I can hardly imagine how devastating a tragedy that has been. I can also only imagine how it would've been seeing this movie in a Japanese cinema all these years later, maybe even with ppl that were the age of Suzume when all this happened back then...
As someone not from Japan that was not involved in the catastrophe 12 years ago, this is a beautifully moving work that tries to express and process a national trauma in its own way and I think it succeeded at that. One of Shinkai's best work and very well worth a watch.
It's been some time since I've seen a movie that I had the feeling I should/could/would watch again and again and again but this... I definitely will.
A marvel on so many levels... the cinematography alone! And the soundtrack... and the acting. I adore this movie. It has not left my mind since I've seen it and it will be there for quite some time I think.
Glad there are still great story's in this world that make you believe not everything is utter shit and that there can be hope.
Thanks for keeping me alive!
Damn.
Man, one of the best Korean movies I have seen recently and it's a Netflix Original, who would've thought? So, can Netflix do more of these in the future rather than ill advised western stuff that's just a mess? Some recent releases have been a bust but this here was just great. Good story, great casting and well produced as usual for a Korean movie - probably way cheaper than many of the US releases too. More please!
Look. If you can ignore some of the Chinese propaganda (honestly, we've seen this for 50 years from the Americans now, why are the Chinese not allowed to do the same?) and some of Chinas ulterior motives in the south china sea, then you are getting a fucking insane non-stop 2 hour+ action galore here. Operation Mekong was pretty crazy already but THIS is next level. Considering some of the garbage from china I've seen in the last year, this is WAY above all of that. Fantastic production values, a good FX budget and some crazy on-location shot's in Morocco that you simply have not seen in anything from China yet. Also the gore and mutilation in this was something I absolutely did not expect.
So yeah, watch if for the non-stop action and have a good time!
Absolutely stunning visual masterpiece that is looking for an equal, not only in the chinese animated movie space.
The story and themes were also deeper than expected, just like the sea I guess!
If you can experience this in a cinema, preferably in 3D even, it should be experienced that way!
Well DAMN, I did not expect that. That ranks pretty high up there among my favourite movies of the year. :D
Fantastic stuff, well acted with a lot of heart, many laughs and your usual korean dose of action and drama. Highly recommended!

Please break the chains.
Entertaining romp. Prolly not Miike's best, but anyway, well worth a watch. Becky kinda stole the show, not gonna lie. :D
I really should't be surprised by russian movies at this point any more, should I? Seen quite a few impressive movies recently and this here is no different. Sure, the story may be generic but also very entertaining and cute! And some scenes in this were just pretty damn amazingly shot... the musical sequences alone, damn. Give this one a shot if you want a real-life Disneyesque experience with a russian spin!
That was one of the best films I have seen all year and with 300+ films watched I don't say that lightly.
Beautiful.
(You know trakt, one word sometimes is more than enough to perfectly express what needs to be said about a movie or anything for that matter.)
What a brilliant marvel in stop-motion. <3
I think with this China has reached #3 in my unofficial "animated movie country" ranking. Before there was a tossup between France and the UK+Ireland but damn. This was not just absolutely stunning on a technical level but also impressed story-wise and what they had the balls to do in a Chinese movie to begin with. The lighting and environments in this were bordering on Photorealism and this contrasted with the "unique" character design might not be everyone's cup of tea but it was honestly stunning.
Not to mention the animation of the lions heads, that was just something else.
Impressive work and another Chinese Director and Animation Studio to keep an eye on.
The most Japanese movie I've seen in while!
Metal first, girls later!
That was one fucking entertaining trip with a \m/ soundtrack. Highly recommended, not only to the "metalheads" tbh. :D
Almost got a sore throat from laughing too much, help!
One of the best comedy specials I've seen since Hasan Minhaj's Homecoming King.
"Und wenn diese kerze ausgeht?"
Not sure what else to say here, quite the heartbreaking story acted out by some pretty good actors and sprinkled with an interesting soundtrack choice. Also Apinya Sakuljaroensuk certainly is a sight to behold.
wow, this was incredible. A beautiful little story masterfully told in probably the best VR short story experience around right now.
Almost at a loss of words here, but it's a Japanese movie so all this crazy shit should've been expected. But wow.
What a hilarious movie and how it all fit together, amazing. I lost it already at the sexual harassment case and Noriko's reactions to all of Takuya's bullshit, holy crap.
But the ending was something else. Suddenly a E-Girls dance number and a random Verbal appears?! What the actual fuck. The song was so fitting tho, I don't even... that was absolutely amazing. Good thing I did not watch any trailers or anything before so this was a nice surprise as a "tie-in" song for the movie.
HAIRY ARMPITS, STATUE OF LIBERTY!
That final scene, good throwback to The Host. Well done Bong, well done.
Still loved it. So entertaining, colourful and creative that I can easily stomach the "brute force cute" they are putting on sometimes. MAYBE not as good as the first one but I still had a lot of fun, lots of laughs and all that. :]
Fantastic! Enjoyed every minute of it. Great characters, perfect voice cast, beautiful and oh-so-colorful visuals and least but not least a nice soundtrack. Yay. (and wow, to hear AKB48 in the movie and outro, amazing)
