In general, of course, a good movie, but still without tearing the authors did not do. Especially their wing at the end, already there they swung and bobbed everything at once - and crawling to a dying friend of the hero, and a touching speech that he is not alone, and a self-sacrificing act, and a mother and baby, who are about to be killed by an explosion, and all this in the rain, and even in slow motion ... And like a pinnacle - ten people save the mother with a frog, and the heroes lie barely alive on the bare asphalt, generously rinsed by an icy shower. In short, Americans smoke.
Friendship will save, if not peace, at least many people. A character who has left the city forever will return. All criminals are really good sufferers, loving their parents, who broke them all their lives. It's a genre that can be done.
In general, impressionable viewers will sob in three streams.
But do not think that you are in front of a slag. The film is excellent and I highly recommend it because:
1. The painting is truly Japanese. There are three types of Japanese cinema. The first is traditional, about Ancient Japan, the second is a 100% art house, it is also a fierce mix of philosophy, cyborgs, dolls, feathers, cherries, hieroglyphs and delightfully strong frames that plunge your imagination either into horror or ecstasy. And the third is a quiet everyday life, generously seasoned with fiction, which so skillfully fits into the slice-of-life on-screen existence, as if it were there. The “Guys” fall into this category. In a quiet, rundown town lives a boy who knows how to heal any wounds with a touch. The Americans would have handed him over to evil scientists in the laboratory or for military experiments in the 15th minute. There is nothing like that here.
2. The film tells about simple human feelings, but it does it absolutely gorgeous. It seems that everything is quite predictable, seemingly chewed and simple. No, the scenes and dialogues are built so that the inner world of the characters is revealed gradually. The authors do not open their souls like doors, but offer to carefully look into the snap.
3. There are wonderful actors here. There are only three of them: two guys and a girl. But one bisenen is played by Kavaine Koike Teppei (“Touching Complex”, “Ohitorisama”), and the second by the talented Tamaki Hiroshi (“Nodame Kantabile”, “I Just Love You”, “Love Shuffle”). In the role of a girl, an international actress with a rather colorful appearance is Kuriyama Tiaki. She managed to play in the films “Kill Bill: Part 1”, “The Last Quarter of the Moon”, “To the Sun”, as well as voice the heroines in the anime “Edens Bowy” (Konako Persia) and “Heavenly Wanderers” (Midori Mitsuya) and perform the song “Cold Finger Girl” from the screensaver of the anime series “Level E”.
In short, positive emotions from watching are guaranteed.
