Guest lands end road Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Just watched this one the other night for like the 20th time. It seems to get better with each watch. Love the cinematography and colouring of this film too. It's such a shame the cinematographer Noboru Shinoda past away several years ago. I don't know what Shunji Iwai will do without him.

Guest Deep Fried Everything Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 so reading roger ebert's review his criticisms completely make sense but that's why i'm glad i'm not a movie critic because this movie was really enthralling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Deep Fried Everything Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 one question: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « so there was a brief moment, a scene lasting maybe 30 seconds toward the end of the film, an overhead shot looking down at the ground. it looked like the area of the shot was the base of a telecom tower or something, and a girl was sprawled out on the ground either passed out/unconscious (or dead)? i'm assuming this was kuno after she was raped but the preceding shot was of (the girl who had a crush on yuichi and was whoring for hoshino) meeting up with the guy who liked her on the rooftop per yuichi's instructions) so it was more than a little confusing keeping track of everything happening around the climax...

Guest philia Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « the girl that died was tsuda, not kuno. you could tell it was her because of her cellphone strappy stuff was also shown in the shot. the way she died also makes sense in the context of wanting to fly but not being able to (scene with her and the kites (the song that plays during that scene is 'tobenai tsubasa', or 'wings that can't fly'). kuno, being a really strong person, just shaved her head after the rape - to make herself look unappealing i suppose.

Guest zaphod Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 whole thing is on youtube: also, if you're going to purchase it, don't get the us release. the picture is bad and the sound is atrocious. the japanese release is definitely the best, but there are no subs, so you'll have to be able to speak japanese. there's an all region disc from hong kong that's probably the best bet for americans, then the british disc is actually decent. it's a shame this never got the criterion treatment...
