The essence of Japanese humor A young man named Teuro is preparing to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary and is engaged in various low-paid part-time jobs like cutting bushes. He is entertained by things that scare his friends. In general, his dream is to build a modern house of horrors, not entertainment, but real, to scare people to death. He even makes a business plan and goes to a potential investor who sends him back with nothing. His father runs a bookstore, but falls ill with something like depression. Now Teuro has to work in it as a salesman. One day, one strange character gets a job for him - the girl Akari. In general, she was an artist and at first engaged in the fact that she photographed a homeless woman, so that later she could draw from photos. Then she tried to get into the hospital as a nurse, but due to her clumsiness, she did not last long. So here's a bookstore job. Theuro almost falls in love with her. And when she leaves for Nara, he goes after her without hesitation.
"Full Order" is a typical irrational Japanese comedy. It has obvious elements of the comedy of propositions, but in general, the humorous effect is achieved precisely due to the purely Japanese atmosphere of insanity. The plot is arranged in such a way that you never know where it will turn in five minutes. At the same time, even a surprise like the one with which Theuro tries to intimidate his friends to death turns for the viewer not horror, but laughter.
The therapeutic effect of the film is that it does not tell about the horrors of a human hostel in overpopulated Japan. Here, such a hostel is an extra reason to laugh or get into a comic situation together. This allows many different people to find the key to communication. Theuro is an adult bolt with the interests of a child. Akari is a slightly depressed, silent girl who gets into awkward situations. Her employer at the hospital is a minor hospital official who seems to have fallen in love with his ward for hiring her against all rules. At the end, they all gather together in Nara, where Akari continues to paint. They may be losers, but they are happy that they live and enjoy life, and in this they surpass many of those who are called successful people.
Despite the abundance of humorous scenes, the film is hardly very dynamic, which again makes it extremely Japanese. There are many slow scenes that require unhurried contemplation. Perhaps, through the concept of “slow humor” you can generally define many Japanese comedies. "Full order" is no exception. Cheap in terms of budget, poor in terms of scenery, not spectacular in terms of effects, this film nevertheless expresses the essence of Japanese humor, which always seems to be not completely chewed so that the viewer tuned in and comprehended it himself through contemplation, rather than waiting for ready-made jokes in the style of Western comedies.
