AKA: What girls are made
of
Genre: Romance
Origin: Japan
Release date: September 16,
2006
Cast: Yagira Yuya, Sawajiri
Erika, Natsuki Mari and Chen Bolin.
This movie is about a
young man’s first love, how he learns about the actual feeling of love, and
what he feels about it.
After High School
Shiro (Yagira Yuya) decides not to go to college, and thereby disappoints his
parents greatly. As he has the support of his 70-year-old grandmother, who
likes all American including being called “Granma” instead of the Japanese word
for it, he starts working at a gas station where he meets Noriko (Sawajiri
Erika). He had seen her before on the street going home after school, whilst
she was fighting her much older boyfriend, and seeing her cry all alone,
falling for her. But seeing her work at the gas station made him fall for her all
over again. When the two start getting to know one another they become very
close and even start dating, but life has a different way of treating Shiro, as
her ex-boyfriend returns and she can’t seem to forget him…
I don’t know what I
was epecting, but most definatly not this. It really didn’t have a climax at
all, and was so slow paced. The idea was okay I guess, but so damn half-hearted
and I really don’t like Sawajiri’s acting. She just pisses me off. The male
actor was okay, I havne’t seen him before, but the grandma was ridiculus, and I
have NO IDEA why they would put SO much of her story and basically fill the entire
thing with her bull… Boring.
But on the other side,
I like serious, and I appreciate that they tried to make me think, which I felt
this was all about: try and figure out what the hell this all is about.
Recommendable? Not
really, unless you like this kind of serious…
