Sometimes I wish I was Japanese...
..if only I could understand how they come up with great storylines.
Here are some Japanese movies I would love to see.
Based from the Manga, they are coming out with a live action movie for Deathnote. And because this is the first time I've seen this movie, I've taken a synopsis of the manga from Mangadownload. They would explain it better than I would.
•Deathnote follows the story of a boy who discovers a means to easily kill people and his desire to use this power to rid the world of evil, creating a "better world" of his choosing. This boy, called "Kira" by the rest of the world, meets his match in an equally brilliant and mysterious figure, called "L," who makes it his mission to discover the identity of Kira and punish him for his crimes. The story weaves itself around the manipulations of both of these characters as each tries to finish ahead of the other in a struggle between the preservation of humanity as it is and the creation of a new humanity controlled by Kira.•
Another movie is Hinokio. It came out last year, I wonder if they have the DVD in Makati Cinema Square. That would really make my day. The synopsis below I've taken from Moviexclusive.
•HINOKIO is not a movie about robots. It is a story of the heart, of using a remotely controlled robot that can interface with the real world to restore the relationships that had become broken, to build bonds between a boy and a girl, a boy and his father.
Satoru, a heartbroken boy who had withdrawn into his room, who uses a remotely controlled robot called HINOKIO as a next-generation communication tool that provides him with a window on the world. Using that robot ‘tool’, Satoru is able to make progress by taking his first cautious, fearful steps out into the outside world… steps taken from within his ‘digital cocoon’. Still, he does go to school, find fellowship and through an encounter with a girl, is able to reconnect and feel once again the sensation of warm human touch.
Satoru eventually seeks to directly experience the world and activates the robot’s sensation mode, exposing himself to mortal threat. The girl Jun, risks all by taking action in an attempt to rescue him. This movie is not just about humans considering each other with warm affections; it is a movie that, through the conduct of humans finding love, asks the very question “What is it to be alive?”•
