![]() He played a rather different Ootomo vis-a-vis the manga. The best analogy I can give for my experience of this movie was like listening to a piece of music being played in minor key - the melody has certain notes and chords which give the piece a sort of asymmetrical form or disharmonic sound, but the overall tune still flows as a cohesive melodic piece which somehow evokes a myriad of feelings for the listener after it's all finished. It's a movie that somehow struck certain chords with me and resonated in a curious way. The way it was filmed and presented gave off a gritty, moody, sometimes lonely and desolate vibe, and there was something about the whole combination that made me come away from this movie feeling this interesting mix of unsettled yet at peace, curious yet satisfied, sad yet happy. There were also quite a few things about this movie that really fascinated me - some of the dialogue, the choice and arrangement of certain scenes, the camerawork, the use of imagery, lighting and sound, etc. The movie had none of the internal monologues of the original but through the way scenes were presented and acted, we could still understand the internal turmoil and struggles of the characters and their changing perspectives/ feelings and that was a personal testament that both the acting and the direction of the movie was excellent. ![]() However, I'm going out on a limb here to say that I actually still appreciated this work despite the changes made to it. Hence, I can understand why fans of the manga might feel disappointed or dissatisfied with this adaptation. it was generally faithful in broad strokes and in some detailed places, but there were still fairly noticeable differences, especially in terms of character vibe and personality and in some event modifications. Now, as an adaptation of the manga itself, I'd give this movie a 65% score in terms of its closeness to the original work i.e. I've read the manga on which the movie was based - it's one of my favourites because the main characters in it were incredibly flawed and insecure people but their insecurities and issues were just so relatable and understandable, I found myself immersed in their characters and in their story. What happens when a cat who fell in love with a promiscuous mouse long ago decides to back it into a corner? Both are from different worlds and both come with their own personal baggages. I definitely recommend watching this movie.Ī story of a cat and a cornered mouse Note: This character-driven movie has explicit sexual content and nudity. I loved it! The actors are hot, and the sex scenes are also hot, and beautifully heartwarming at the same time. This movie is about finding yourself, having the courage to accept who you really are, finding love, or rather recognizing love when you’ve found it, and the heartbreaking journey to love and accept the one who is right for you. The sex scenes between the two characters really revealed their inner passions, and they felt like the most honest, and emotionally revealing scenes in the movie. This movie is raw, heartbreaking at times, and beautifully performed. I liked the symbolism of him sitting in the chair, like now HE’S the one waiting. I enjoyed seeing Kyoichi’s journey to find himself, and figuring out what true love really is. I really felt the emotional turmoil from Wataru. I loved the characters, even with all their flaws and insecurities. Very powerful movie I really enjoyed this movie.
