will everything be really good?
20 February 2021
I think the main theme of the movie is to spend a lifetime saying that everything will be very good for the end, and then the end of our movie in an instant as in this movie.

Tomorrow's Joe (1970–1971)
9/10
Iconic
27 January 2021
Ashita no Joe is a anime that aired in the 1970's and is arguably one of the founders of sports anime as a whole. But calling this series just a sports anime would not be doing it justice. While yes the story does mainly focus around Joe's boxing career, intermixed with this is fantastic drama, superb character development, and absolutely gripping suspense.

The biggest selling point for this series has to be its characters and plot. A lot of shows have tried to make the arrogant asshole lead work but to no avail, but Joe is one of those rare exceptions. Joe's massive over confidence, seeming indifference, and his arrogant attitude just seem to work.

I constantly went between cheering him on as he fought to wanting to reach into the screen and smack some sense into him. Watching Joe grow is a wild ride, but well worth it. And the supporting characters are all well fleshed out too. Every character feels like they fit into the world with real problems, relationships, and goals.

Ashita no Joe is not a story where the main character experiences nothing but victory. Joe suffers humiliating defeats and struggles with real issues. Because of this there are some parts of the story that are frustrating for the viewer as Joe enters a slump. But at no point is a episode wasted. These bitter defeats Joe suffer make victory all the more sweet and we see Joe develop as a person and a boxer through these slumps.

The issues this anime suffers from are direct results of its age. While the animation and sound is certainly great for its time period, it just cant compare with modern standards. But while it may not be as smooth as modern anime, once you get used to it you will find the rough gritty art style fits the nature of the anime perfectly.

Ashita no Joe is a absolute classic with a story as or even more epic than Rocky. If you have even a passing interest in sports anime I urge you to give this show a shot. If you can get past the dated art style you may just find a real gem.

It really is a shame how tiny attention people give it these days, although I suppose that's inevitable. Not to sound up myself, but most people tend to only watch series that started in the 00s and after. I hope that more people broaden their horizons and search for some old but gold series.

A masterpiece to guide amateur filmmakers.
10 July 2020
It's definitely one of the most unique movies I've seen.

I've heard that the movie is good. but I did not keep my expectations high. I was expecting a cliche movie with references. I was never so happy that I was wrong. the movie is really good.

The film that should be watched as a lesson for students who are studying cinema. Despite the million-dollar projects of the time and the films with world-famous actors, it is a production that shows how to get a quality job with a modest budget of 25 thousand dollars. Moreover, the film has such an impact that it makes a gross revenue of $ 28 million in Japan. first of all, it puts our eyes on how important a good idea is.

The Lighthouse (I) (2019)
8/10
The storytelling style and shooting techniques are very good
8 July 2020
Filled with metaphors; a movie that can be considered successful in terms of katharsis. Actually, it is not fantastic; As a result, he handled the concept of reality in such a way and used it in such ways that it was extremely good in terms of cinema. 7.6 in terms of IMDB Score; as if it was a bit exaggerated, but ... I don't know.

In terms of acting, it's pretty groundbreaking for Robert Pattinson. Both performances are successful. "Worskhop" performances were exhibited for someone who is interested in acting or acting. The appearance of a highly stereotypical spiritual portrait in terms of whether the characters are suitable for such a task did not make the film bad. After all, the stereotype always does work. The reason why anything cliché can be cliché is already!

A gamble on the concepts of nightmare, hallucinatory elements, reality and time and space is almost. The reliance of uncertainty is also relied upon abundantly. In fact, this mystery would be a much more spectacular movie if it was raised a little more. It is worth noting that there is no movie that everyone will love.

There is no similarity with the movie "Cold Skin", which I watched previously, is an old production. To some extent, I even thought that the script would be shot again. To be mentioned in the absence of "spoilers", characteristic features, surveillance scenes and all the situations there; the first incident witnessed in the lighthouse and the fantastic situation there; exactly the same with that movie! Thankfully he was wrong; its course, expansion and final are different. Let's say it's not the same scenario, but a lot of inspiration!
