I keep thinking about it since it downloadable on Amazon.com but always get distarcted by somthing else. The main problme is I havent actually had time to sit and watch a movie only listen and glance but since I dont speak Japanese and the movie is in subtitles it creates a bit of a problem.
Im definitly gonna snatch it up the 2nd I have a free day to just lay back relax.
So how was the story? Did it hold up strong thruout? what kinda story was it and all that jazz
Hey sorry I missed your post Mass. I can guarantee you' d really enjoy Tekkonkinkreet. The whole style of the film stands out as unique amongst the rest. It' ll be a timeless classic I' m sure.
I' ve seen it twice, the story focuses mainly around two orphans called Black and White. White is a slightly retarded but innocent kid who stays as an inspiration to Black. Black is the more mature, slightly violent kid who protects White. Then theres the city they live in, the yakuza and random aliens, and everyone refers to the city as their city, including Black. Possessiveness of a material world ultimately tries to split Black and White, and plunge the city into chaos, but harmony prevails. Its a story beautifully and colourfully told.
Also just watched a two part feature length anime called
Karas.
The story seems really confusing at first, but thats just because theres a lot of detail in the premise and characters. On the surface its kinda juvenile (in a good way) with swords and planes and superheroes and evil villlains and cats that turn into school girl priestesses and blood sucking demons that have been turned into machines to do the bidding of said evil villains.
But they' ve seemed to pull it off with so much style and elegance, using 3D on 2D animation visually and some very memorable orchestral music, that the whole thing comes together as a distinctly japanese masterpiece.
The undelying story beneath the vampire machines and ancient evils, is about human arrogance, but its done well. However you really have to watch both parts!
