[73] Heroes... - 2006/08/04 (Fri)

Constantly broke,
an outcast at school,
not well liked by women,
this is a young man far far removed
from the modern idea of a hero.

This movie
uses plenty of CG,
and of course, as an action movie,
the visuals are amazing,
but it paints the hero's suffering and conflicts perfectly,
and ends up being a respectable human drama.

Along with great strength comes great responsibility...
It will make you think about a hero's fate.

Oh yeah, also, this movie's director's Sam Raimi,
he's the director of the 'Evil Dead'
series of famous horror movies.*

An unexpected combination, huh? Heroes and horror...,
but, they're not entirely dissimilar. (^_^)

Whether he's making you cry from fear, or making you cry from being deeply moved,
he's an amazing director.

It's already a big hit, but for people who haven't seen it yet, please do!

P.S. When I re-read yesterday's diary, it looks like I was flying pretty high.
Such hideous use of the Japanese language... Hm, always? (^_^) **


[ * in japanese, this series is apparently called 'Guts of the Dead'. don't ask me why. ** i really can't tell you how much i laughed at this line. i can almost hear him saying this. aa- itsumo? YES. ALWAYS. but we still love you. (^_^) ]
