That's mighty nice of you to sa...Thanks, jicks! That's mighty nice of you to say so. Been struggling with this particular piece, can't tell you how glad I am to hear that it turned out okay.<br /><br />About Goth, well, I sure found it pretty. There were some scenes that looked downright surreal and creepy but overall, the color palette was just amazing. What I enjoyed about it though is that it really gave a different spin to the manga, the original work was quite disturbing, but it pretty much surprised me with how I ended up caring about these two gloomy creatures.<br /><br />I've only seen Takanishi Rin in Rookies as well but I've seen Kanata Hongo in quite a few dramas including the second Nana movie. He still looks like a kid, alright. Weird thing though is that he's now typecasted as the cool kid which is why I think he creeps me out now when he smiles. He's always had this expression that can only be described as smug confidence and/or mild constipation and a smirk that looks as if he's taken a whiff of bad air. I sound like I'm bashing the kid but I can't really imagine anyone else playing his role in this movie. Just saw him in GANTZ and he has those crazy eyes that make you go "eek!" but once the camera pulls out, it's hard to find him intimidating because he's stick thin. <br /><br />Will definitely keep fingers crossed that you enjoy Goth as much as I did. It's a bit slow but there were a lot of things about it that kept me interested in it. Loved the music. :)zooeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15816966615501675071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015492527867202794.post-30291590803741241362011-02-12T19:00:28.426+08:002011-02-12T19:00:28.426+08:00Love the review, zooey, it's so beautifully wr...Love the review, zooey, it's so beautifully written^^ And the screencaps are awesome as well, you have a knack of always creating exactly the right mood for your posts with them :)<br /><br />Goth definitely sounds like my type of movie and after reading your glowing points, I am sure to check this one out asap! Loved everything you said in the fifth last paragraph about the lighting, the colours and just the general way the film was shot- I love it when such attention is given to a movie piece. <br /><br />Not all too familiar with the leads, Takanishi Rin I think I caught a glimpse of in Rookies, while Kanata Hongo, well, to me he always looked like he was around 16yrs or something so I stayed clear lol But it's good to hear young talent performing commendably on the big screen.<br /><br />Without having read the novel and/or the manga, I hope to still be able to enjoy it as much as you did :)jickshttp://candyme.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
