Tidak seperti hamaguchi biasanya

Tidak seperti hamaguchi biasanya

generally if someone says that the cinematography was the best part of a film then the movie sucked. but in this case it just goes to show how good it really was. every single shot in this movie was absolutely stunning, getting the most out of this gorgeous setting. i’m not sure i’ve seen trees so green, sky so blue and vibrancy like this out of a movie ever.

then you address the film itself and that delivers once again. the premise of encroaching upon these peaceful people and having no real care for them initially is one that we see a lot in our daily lives. but then they meet them live their life and understand why this place is so important to them. 

you get to see the genuine care that they have for each other as a community and for the space itself. everyone goes looking for hana even though it’s late and some people probably don’t know her. then the use of the people upstream staying in life for the people downstream not speaking strictly about water but how what you do in your life effects people in then end. you have to be responsible and take ownership of your actions to ensure the betterment of life.

the ending completely caught me off guard given how calm the movie had been throughout. but i guess that’s a reflection of how the people feel where there safe and peaceful life was changed in an instant because of something they didn’t care for at all. completely enthralling movie that needed few words to express a great deal

Ryusuke Hamaguichi is Definetly not for me.

Even though i love slowburn Slice of live movies (especially from Japan) this movie couldn’t connect to me at all 

But the message is strong and Great 


But slice of life is always subjective.

I expected a bit more from Hamaguchi after Drive My Car. The first hour is genuinely compelling, quiet, observational, and beautifully attentive to detail but as it progresses, it started to feel somewhat drawn out for me. The ending, on the other hand, arrives rather abruptly, almost jarringly so.

What I did appreciate is the way the film carefully portrays elements of rural Japanese life, especially the respectful and almost symbiotic relationship between people and nature. It subtly emphasizes how essential nature is to human existence.

Here, "evil" isn't abstract it's embodied in corporate interests willing to destroy that balance for profit. Fuck them
