1/10
Skipping through memory lane
20 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
For a movie about other movies this won't attain much cult status and will probably be forgotten a week or so, I'll be perfectly honest, if you're not a South American or a European girl who's misguided enough to watch emo movies like these and expect people to act this quirky irl, then you won't like Japanese movies one bit. The only Japanese movie I can recommend is ikigami, it's fun and heartbreaking, and if you're a fan boy or girl, death note and the ultimate gambler, but the rest? You're better off watching Stephen chow movies.

Do you know why no one likes French movies? The same reason as Japanese movies, because instead of coming up something original they resort to; self conscious narrative which we have to sidetrack with the main story, 4th wall tropes, nostalgia, an abundance of childish "emotional" segments which consist of lying supine on the bed together talking how life is meaningless, teens acting cool and indifferent... Yada Yada Yada... Its boring, it's half baked, it's unoriginal, whatever things stick nowadays they flung to the wall. Like French movies it takes too long like a heart breaker joke that no one would care to listen let alone think.

I skipped after 20 minutes and everything I expected just came true. Its so bland I guessed what would happen each segment and it did. For a movie about other movies ending like fight club, be half the man you are "inspired" from instead of giving examples of it first.
