it's a really good movie

It's so fucking sad. The ending kinda makes up for it, but still. :(

i downloaded but still can't watched. i had a preview and it's interesting. my cinephiliac senses say 9/10.

i watched this on a laptop on a flight to japan. afterwards i felt so depressed i didnt feel like going to japan anymore

goddamn this was a good movie

Here is the OSTs

This thread needs more Ether.

Thx for sharing this great movie.

Depressing as hell, but it's a good movie

Saw this the other day. Any other good Japanese movies like this?

>>373982
intresting.....

i've got the dvd of it but never watched more then 10 mins of it. I was already engaged in watching some other J-Drama.

This movie has easily escalated to my favorite film. Would you suggest anything else OP?

>>374375
Not OP, but I remember watching this about the same time as I watched "Aoi Haru" and "The taste of tea". I'm not saying they're necessarily similar, nor do I remember any of them all that well, but at the time I felt they shared some of the same qualities as this, and I liked all of them. Just getting it out there. You might want to look into them, unless someone else comes up with another suggestion.

>>374390
Thank you for the recommendations

>>373533
I'd suggest Love & Pop

It's a movie which was directed by Hideako Anno in 1998 and deals mostly with Enjo Kosai.

>>374550
Indeed, Love & Pop's pretty neat. A bunch of random camera angles from minicams and the scariest "get your shit straight, bitch" speech I've ever seen from the great Tadanobu Asano.

>>373983
You might wanna look at Gaichu. I don't know yet is this a good film but i watch this and be impressed with it:

>>374642
Would you happen to know where I can find a torrent? I can't seem to find a working one anywhere. No one seems to be seeding the film.

Had to watch this movie for a film class. Good movie, but gets annoying after the 5th watch-through.

>>374796
not Shainako but this one seems have a 4 seeders
http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/3500636/Love__amp__Pop_(Hideaki_Anno_1998)

will download, thanks.

It's a deep, disturbing and heartfelt movie. If you don't want to download it watch the entire movie on youtube in parts.

part 1 here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQjZKAtZbPo

boring movie.

"Linda Linda Linda" made me fill so empty and sad after watching it; this one was ok but not so powerful imho.

Thanks for the torrent OP.

>brutal japanese stuff
not really.

>>374550
Watched Love & Pop thanks to your suggestion, it was quite a said and thoughtful movie. I never knew Anno did work outside anime, but I'm very pleased to know now. Now I've seen two incredible films in one week, how unusual.

Swallowtail Butterfly by the same director is a great movie... a bit dated but awesome nonetheless.

Great movie, thanks for letting me to know about it.

But still... I have to say that "heavenly forest" aka "Tada, kimi wo aishiteru" was way more touching and made me, a grown up male, with balls and everything, weep, which this movie failed to do.

None the less, sad story and pointing how the best of us, can turn in worst ones and vice versa, and even after that back. There is no such thing as "end" or "this is how this person is". Everyting evloves and changes by time, and no one can know where we will be heading for.

I like to quote the lyrics of finnish band called CMX, from the song "vallat ja väet" (free translation) : "Our acts changes us, the words we speak"

With this, I belive I have said enough.

Thank you very much.

>>375219

nah your personality doesn't change much anymore after ~25. But at their age, it sure does a lot and this is why those movies about "coming of age" as they say are good stuff for drama.

I'm going to try to find this "Tada, kimi wo aishiteru" you speak of; because I love movies that make me weep even though I have a nice set of balls. Something able to give you emotions, either movies, paintings or videogames is called "art".

saw that movie years ago at a german film festival.

a very good and saddening movie

Thanks for the suggestions op. downloadan now

A realy good movie.
The end was satisfying too.

Nice film but my favorite is "Love exposure".

teenage kids are brutal.

This is one of my favorite films ever. It's one of the reasons I'm studying film. It was shot and edited so beautifully, and it was a great juxtaposition against the brutal subject matter. Most Japanese youth films either focus too much on the melodrama, or fumble their supposed profound statements on bullying and whatnot through needless graphic scenes. All the horrible things that happen in this film are barely seen. The more you view the film, the more details start to come through and you understand it better every time. Really, the only iffy scene is when he lures Kuno into a place that's obviously suspicious.

Great directing, great acting, and fucking amazing music. Worth a download for anyone interested in Japanese film, great movies, and those who don't mind reading subtitles.

TL;DR this is a great fucking movie.

yellows :/

>>376209
racists :/

>>373883
word

>>374390
i watched all of these also one i dont remember the name is about two teenagers that are good for nothing then one day the two start going for boxing one of them fails and become a yakuza the other becames a boxer but not very good at the end the two suck at their lifes i was oh my ;_;
but dont remember the name

>>376507

That film is Kids Return. Another great one.

After viewing this film though, I found out the next morning that a guy I went to school with killed himself. We weren't close or anything, but he was fairly popular and seemed like a good guy. Wonder what was going through his head. I think one of the great things about this movie is that anyone can see a bit of themselves in it, especially from their teenage and young adult years. Amazing.

>>376522
oh my good thank you so much ;']

More suggestions on sad/angsty movies?

>>374957

Then you are a sociopath who reacted the completely opposite way than the movie intended. The film is about the unifying power of music, of pure expression and freedom before the uncertainty of adullthood. It's a fleeting moment of teenaged contentment and is completely infectious and uplifting.

"Nobody Knows"

Abandoned children in modern day Japan - left to fend for themselves. Father left years before. Mother never able to find another man who will accept children so she leaves also. They have to keep it a secret that they are alone in the apartment otherwise authorities will come in and divide them up among foster homes. Because they live in tiny apartment that limits the number of people in it - when they first move in one of the children is actually hidden inside a small suitcase until she it inside the apartment - this same suitcase is later dragged by the oldest children to vacant land nearby a airport. The kids bury the suitcase - inside is their small sister who fell and died in their apartment - they can not tell of her death because it will reveal their secret - it will make you cry!

woah. 3 cds?
i'll have to set aside some time to watch this.

thanks!

>>378483

you got it

Watched first part of it sober, it wasn't that interesting to be honest. Try watching when you're really fuckin high and it's the shit though.

found it in blockbuster around '04-'05 and was wowed

Bump for awesome non-porn.

>non-porn
sage

>>380557
No.

Nothing brutal about that film.

It's actually very dull

>>374550

It was okay.. interested camera work to convey the character's emotions. Man, those guys were weird as fuck.

Downloading indie movies is for faggots.

>>382422
Bumping for excellent movie.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_About_Lily_Chou-Chou

piece of shit, the director randomly jumped around in the time-line, the entire movie was pretty awful and boring. I imagine only a hardcore weeaboo would fool himself into likeing this shit.

>>383362
0/10

Last bump of the day, and an awesome one to that.

God damn /t/, not even a whole page of non-porn content this time (after skipping over total worthless stuff). Shame on you.

>>381161
Lol, enjoy yr emotional stunting, go watch saw 6 or something.

>>374375
I'm suggesting gaichu, possibly bleaker than lily chou chou & has awesome music by number girl.
There used to be a trailer on youtube but i can't find it anymore, this's got clips from the movie in it though:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzDC-F41psI

>>384201
Whoosp didn't notice someone else already recc'd it.
Why does this board have so many shitty threads on it when it's got so many people with good taste posting?

>>376082
thanks for that, it was absolutely amazing

Love exposure - me liked alot :3

this is an awesome thread

Didn't see any brutal.. but still not as bad as I expected. Thanks for the OSTs.

... what the fuck did i just watch?

ok, i've had this movie since around the time this thread first appeared and i JUST got around to watching it.

i thought it was awesome.
i have to be in the mood for slower movies like this, but it had it's fair share of good stuff.


another thing is, i now have to go back and watch it again because i spent most of the movie trying to figure out which username belonged to which character.

there's two i know for sure, and one that i'm pretty sure of...but there were like 5 other handles that kept popping up off and on.

awesome movie. gotta be in the mood but probably one of my top 5 of all times.

>>374642
just watched love&pop

camera angles and that took a few minutes to get used to, but eventually it was pretty cool.
the get your shit straight speech was crazy. the fucking tazer actually made me jump.

but duuuude......the scene at the video store...particularly the very end....duuude......

uhmmm Brutal?

c'mon

a slaughter would fit perfectly

bumping an awesome thread

Thanx now i have insomnia B-I

great movie dude, tx !

thanks, will have a look on that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQjZKAtZbPo

Seconding Love&Pop. Also Ritual, Anno's next live action. Fun fact: Ritual's main actor is the director of Lily Chou Chou.

Does this have subtitles?

>>390001

take one damn fucken guess mate. most of us have seen and comment about the movie's storyline.

do you think we Japanese?

lol

This is my girlfriend's favourite movie, and although we've been together for 3 years, I never watched her DVD copy of it until a month ago, on valentine's day, because I was afraid that I'd probably hate it (I usually dislike weaboo stuff - i.e. japanese stuff people love just because of the fact that it is japanese). But this was amazing.

Bumping because this is a great movie.

hey thanks! i've actually been really wanted to watch this but i kept forgetting to look for it.

>>373533
most boring 20 minutes of my life.

I seriously do not know how anyone can like this movie. It was the most mediocre film i've seen, and i've seen a LOT of films.
You guys must be faggots from /jp/ or some shit, because no normal person would enjoy watching this movie.

>>391016

Sugoi monogatari nii-chan

>>391053
It's "aniki" you ignorant cretin.

>>391151
It's "kakei", you hollow philistine.

Hey /t/
>>373868 here,

Thanks, >>390216, for the soundtrack!
I love that they actually made a a Lily Chou-Chou album! I'm usually disappointed when they make a movie about a fake artist, and there's no music by the artist to go with the movie (e.g. Nick and Norah's infinite playlist. I wish "Fluffy" was a real band!)

BUT! Lily Chou-Chou is real! The actual artist is Salyu! You can download two of her other albums here;
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VAT9X8W9
Terminal (2005) and Landmark (2007)

I'll buy her stuff for real if I see it in a store, but that's unlikely, since I live in Australia...

ok, i watched All.About.Lily.Chou.Chou on the wknd and i have to say it had it's good moments but it was nothing to rave on about.

5/10

Fantastic film, thanks /t/

I've watched almost all the movies mentioned in this thread.
My favourite is Love Exposure at the moment.

why, that's not lily chou at all.

the thread is pure again!

>>394155
all is right with the world

It would be cool if someone linked me an x264 copy of this film. Or I'll just grab the DVD ISO...

>>394616
You only have to convert the video

Fucking amazing movie saw it when i was 13 in 2003, next day i found out 4chan, best week of my life.

Here's the list of the movies mentioned here and some others I've seen. All Japanese drama movies.

Nobody to Watch Over Me (Daremo mamotte kurenai)
Ikigami
Departures
All About Lily Chou Chou
Love & Pop
Heavenly Forest
Kids Return
Blue Spring (Aoi haru)
Love Exposure
Harmful Insect (Gaichuu)
Nobody Knows
The Taste of Tea
Swallowtail Butterfly
Lovely Complex
Linda Linda Linda
Tokyo Tower - Mom And Me And Sometimes Dad
Be With You (Ima, Ai ni Yukimasu)

So my favourite out of these was probably Love Exposure. If you know any other similar movies, let me know.

bumping so that more people see this

Pass for this sick shit:

>>390023
I fucking Japanese, bitch

bamp

Yes, it has subtitles.

Just watched it, this movie is depressing and makes me rage. I literally wants to make me go there and strangle people.

>>397583
Me again, just had to add that it was a pretty good movie though.
I just get very annoyed when people don't stand up for themselves and by bullies, this had plenty of both. RAGE.
But good.

>>397584
I think one of the major themes of the film is how your surroundings can bring you down. Things like his mom remarrying and the pressure to do well in school would have a drastic effect on a 15-year-old. The main as well as the supporting were all trapped in their own ways... he was bullied, the girl was prostituting, and the other guy just couldn't stop hurting others. Unfortunately once they all reached the breaking point it resulted in death.

>>397582
so is it good? the fucking, I mean?

I left this dvd laying around and my teenage son has finished watching it, his life has changed... thank you op/

I love this movie more and more each time I watch it.

oppai volleyball

I hate sad movies, more than enough sadness in the real world. I think I'll rather just watch some idealistic over-the-top happy happy bullshit. So why the fuck do I keep torturing my self by watching things like this or worse? I need to get a fucking life, I'll start now by popping an anti-depressant before my other self try to kill me again.

>>398704
Humans are weird indeed. Making ourselves sad intentionally and loving the emotion we get from it.

>>397043
>Tokyo Tower
that one was a tad shitty IMHO

bumping for an awesome movie

Bumping for if not the greatest movie ever made.

I just finished watching the movie, quite depressing indeed.
Im already downloading some of the films you guys recommended, also i noticed that "Love Letter" (another film by Shunji Iwai) seems very popular and won several awards back in 1995, i was wondering if any of you have seen it/recommend it?

thread is TLDR

But I seem to remember there being a companion movie to the OP's movie of choice, cannot remember the name of it, and it wasn't a direct sequel either...

time for the weekly bump

Let's bump this shit up shall we?
