It was nice to see the neon/day-glo sportswear and gear in this film. I remember my parents having bits of such for tennis when we went to the park in the late 90s-early 000's.
Still remain my favourite movie ever, since the 2001 the first time that i saw it. Pure poetry the story of this 2 guys their relarionship and the coming of serfing into their lives and the Kitano take us in the story with nothing over the sound of the sea for almost the entire movie making understood this 2 guys their condition of deaf person with the plus of the magistral soundtrack of Joe Hisaishi
A broken surf board taken out of the trash. It says “sink or swim”. Anything goes. Hisahishi doing its wonders. Two auditory impaired. Just looking at the dirty Tokyo ocean. Silent love has no bounds. Those Tokyo beaches filled with garbage, the couple leave the broken surfboard at the garbage. They save up to buy another surf board. No speaking is necessary to convey this feeling…
Never heard any put it this way, but it's true. Even making a game with his name on it. I just wish he would do pure directing, but I do enjoy Sonatine and Hana-bi.
