so, i cant seem to stop watching this film. this is mainly because of nakamura yuichi and the fact that (as he drives all the time in this film he is always in profile) i get to have a good long look at his fantastic nose.
(weird of me to even have a favourite but...)
he has my most favourite nose of anyone in the universe.
i spend the entire film like kyaa kyaa キャー キャー
so sorry for the poor review this is bound to be.
despite being constantly distracted by yuichi's lovely face i did manage to notice all the other awesome things in the film.
great casting in the actors and the cars. akuma z i tell ya is almost as nice to look at as the guy that drives it. love that car.
but i do wonder if yuichi is ever going to be in a normal role with a normal love interest... lets look at the evidence shall we? and get a little off track...
ive seen him dressed as a girl a few times now,
theres been boy love,
dying girl love, girl that is really a boy love, nerdy mental excitable freak never got a hope in hell love, dead before the chance of confessing love, fiance doesnt even remember who he is love - (travels in time and chibi version of himself saves her and her bro over and over while she is still not remembering who the hell he is for an absolute age)
and now with this film he's in love with a car. *akira shock!*
but aside from all that...
the movie is basically about a car that seems to enchant and possess its owner who can then drive it at speeds an old car really shouldnt be able to reach.
this akuma z, as they call it, appears to betray its devoted owner by crashing in some fantastic way, killing them then moving on to the next victim.
*eeep*
my favourite bit of the movie is quite near the beginning when yuichi's character has found the car in the junk yard and cant stop thinking about it.
the part where he gets up in the middle of the night to go sit and stare longingly at it is just somehow adorable as well as being a scene that conveys perfectly the kind of effect the car has on certain people.
kobayashi ryoko (maou, samurai high school) is, as she always is, absolutely stunning. she seems to be cropping up more and more in things i watch recently kato kazuki playing the seemingly cold and hard rival was good and i had not seen him play this kind of role before (only really seen the sort of slightly goofy kind in hotaru no hikari).
all the supporting cast were great - lots of comedy from yonehara kosuke and sada masaki. love that hair.
its hard to be objective with this film as for me its all about a certain young actor rolling under his car on a mechanic's trolley, driving really fast and looking all entranced by his gorgeous machine. if i wasnt so distracted by yuichi so much it might be a better review.
