Anything that brings strong emotions has worked I've not seen it I heard it was cuck shit lol
He gets cucked at the start and allows it but thankfully the prostitute of a wife dies.
Think you're better than me, do ya? Thems fighting words.
I feel this movie bamboozled me.
I knew it was kino as I was watching it, you should catch up
It’s painfully slow, they could have cut at least a third of it and nothing would have changed. But yea, great acting and great cinematography, no doubt about that.
Baby you can drice my car
Yes im gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And baby i love you
Beep beep
Beep beep
YEAH
I thought the same lmao based beatlebro
they wanted to have that song in the movie but it was too expensive
I much prefer wheel of fortune and fantasy, but I feel the same way.
It's more one to wrestle with. I'm not sure how I'll feel about it a year from now.
>im supposed to feel bad about a rich famous man
NAH IM GOOD!
>That 20 minute driving sequence to the village at the end
Why isn'tCinemaphile highbrow enough to discuss movies like this?
Yeah, I'm still thinking about it months later. I liked it much more than Worst Person in the World, which didn't resonate with me whatsoever. Also, I watch movie for she.
hamaguchi is a fricking hack. can't light a scene. can't write a script. cant get his fricking actors to emote. can't believe I sat through that 5 and a half hour dog shit 'film' of his.
>5 and a half hour movie
Fr?
no, but Happy Hour is actually five(5) hours and seventeen(17) minutes long
you should try with Asako1&2, is only 2 hours long and has cute grils
Cuckshit
Weebs are addicted to cuckolding
Baby you can frick my wife
Yes I'm gonna be a cuck
I like the sequel better
>she can PARK So Dam well!
wtf seriously
My dad made the same joke after watching the trailer
it had no reason to be 3 hours long but somehow I wouldn't cut anything
I can't even remember how this movie ended.
The protagonist and the driver go to her home town where she shows him the ruins of her house. He tells her about how on the day that his wife dies, he didn't want to go home because he was mad at her and he feels like she'd still be alive if he went home earlier. Then the epilogue is Misaki driving his car, which shows that he's done grieving and he's driving a new car.
>the epilogue is Misaki driving his car, which shows that he's done grieving and he's driving a new car.
Not quite, what it actually means is that the director became a dog which she now looks after.
It's very subtle, I can see how it's easy to miss.
I wish you'd become a dog because your jokes are so bad.
ty, also based flopugh poster
I am based. You want to know why? I downloaded a high quality version of the movie to take one screenshot and then I didn't even post it. I thought maybe it was pointless since I described how it ended. It did show me that the play takes place after they go to her hometown so I wasn't completely accurate.
this happens after they visit the town
and then Misaki buying groceries in the epilogue.

The visuals and atmosphere of driving thru the countryside are kino af no cap, but the cuck storyline was not bussin at all frfr
what the frick was his problem?
He didn't like people taking photos of him. I don't like it either but he was likely a narcissist because he beat people up for it and he ruined his own life.
high T
Nothing, he’s based. Society is the problem.
Japanese Ezra Miller
I would guess he's a sociopath based on his impulsiveness and his lack of emotion.
>tfw no qt deaf sign language gf
>I'll keep enduring it
lol
Which other Murakami movies should I watch
The only other Murakami adaption I've seen is Burning. Some people liked that more than Drive My Car so you should watch it if you haven't.
Probably the most recent film where most of Cinemaphile are unanimous on liking it.
I didn't dislike it as such but felt it was Lee Chang Dongs worst film and a disappointment since it was 8 years since his last. Great looking film but not much depth
Why did you think it lacked depth? I thought it told a very deep story about how writing is a release for real world emotion. It's the same reason why I know he didn't actually kill the guy at the end.
>It's the same reason why I know he didn't actually kill the guy at the end.
What are you even talking about?
Do you not remember the poor writer killing the rich guy at the end of Burning?
Yes... I do remember that and I'm asking what you mean when you say that it didn't happen.
You see, the main character happens to have dreams of being a writer (one that hasn't wrote anything yet). This is often forgotten until the end while he experiences events that he perceives to be a certain way, but may be different. Is the rich guy really a killer? Did the girl leave town or was she murdered? The girl tells him that he didn't notice her when she was ugly and she liked him, but now she is quite beautiful. She tells him about practicing mime behavior, which requires believing you are performing an action when you are not. The rich guy tells him that the poor guy works while he himself plays. The rich guy looks at life and has his own fun with it while the poor writer is more focused on what is real. The writer "takes things too seriously". At the end, the writer is alone is the girl's room, she is not there and she may never come back. He jerk offs to the thought of her. Sexual pretend with a physical release. He goes to write on his computer in a scene that directly goes before the death scene. His pent up anger about thinking the rich guy killed the girl despite his general passiveness is expressed in his writing as he stabs the rich guy to death. He learns what good writing requires. You use it as a way to release you own emotions that you couldn't otherwise.
Thanks, Reddit. You wrote all this and I still don't understand. Are you trying to say that the stabbing was just his imagination? A story he wrote?
Yes.
I knew it would be something stupid like that... You may as well argue that the entire movie didn't happen and none of the main characters existed except for the protagonist.
Whatever. I guess it's all or nothing for you.
There's a japanese adaptation by Tran Anh Hung of Norwegian Wood which is actually good.
Amazing book.
Hope someone can make some Kafka on the Shore kino soon
Unlike his short stories, I think these are borderline possible to adapt
Kino adaption when?
>husband gets cucked
>Dialogue practice
>Dialogue practice
>driving and Dialogue practice
>Dialogue practice but now by theater team
>some more driving and Dialogue practice
>the end
What was the point of this movie?
I think it was to subvert expectations. It didn't end up where I expected it to.
>mog modern Korean cinema
How he did it?
Loved that shit, felt like 30 minutes had passed
What are your hopes for the sequel?
>the sequel
It doesn't need a sequel at all but I can see you were memeing.
God. I saw the poster and I was hoping it was Drive My Bike or some shit but it's Japanese capeshit. It's so weird that they got a good actor for it.
It's not capeshit, it's capekino. That guy also has a role in Shin Ultraman
Kenichi Endo was prince Junior in Kakuranger, Algolian Volka in Dekaranger The Movie and the main villain in Magimaji Pures
Okay, thanks for letting me know. Sounds like you watch a lot of Japanese movies.
They got Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart for X-Men.
If anything, the Nips was a tad bit too late in putting good actors for their Capekino.
>They got Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart for X-Men.
They really did and the original X-Men trilogy was better than it should have been because of the casting. Hugh Jackman was so good they just kept using him even in the new movies.
It's probably hard to get good actors but it's also important if you want your movie to be good.
Actually the "prestigious" casting in capeshit started with Superman The Movie by WB hiring Gene Hackman and Marlon Brandon. Of course that brought some issues like Hackman having his hair for most of the movie and Brandon's bullshit but still brought legitimacy. Later it was continued by Batman 89 with Jack Nicholson. WB was so adamant in having a legitimate star that Nicholson got a portion of the box office.
You got it right, WB was the one who legitimize capeshit by using accomplished actors and directors.
I use X-Men as example since it's the first thing that popped in my mind.
I hope the Black Sun and Anno's Shin Kamen Rider will be good,
Since they are clearly using practical effects and stunts instead of CG galore.
>Marlon Brandon
> literally uncle vanya the movie
> the movie sucks
you
>it sucked but I can't stop thinking about it
same thing for me but with your mom
