1:40 Little did the boy know, that whenever the bell was rung, there would be no angel coming down. There already was an angel sitting beside him, Kikujiro
I watched this film during my Japanese class in highschool. I could never remember the name, but that song Summer I never forgot. This movie was such a good film and even 20 years later I still think of it and FINALLY found the name of it after all this time when I saw it around 2002. It was a great story and I am still amazed how the film industry as whole changed to now CGI messes with weak plots. I am so glad I found this film again as I have been wanting to watch it again.
The memories of watching this with my ex are so strong that I get very emotional watching this. And yet I can't help myself. A good movie can move you like that I guess
Wtf man its happening to me right now. Really didnt expect it since its been so long. Speaks volumes about the quality of this film and the impression it makes
For me, this memories of watching this with my father before he got very old, and my mother, who got dementia and has lost all her memory and does not remember...but I do...We watched this movie together so many times, just me my mom my dad. We didnt have a lot, but this movie for however long it is, we had that time together to laugh and cry together before life moved on. I miss those days and wont get them back, but just hope the memory always stays.
Mediocre movies show you nothing. Good movies show you something. Masterpieces makes you LIVE through something. This movies made me live through plenty of invaluable experiences.
I saw this movie and it made me feel very nostalgic about many things, it made me remember something about the innocence of my childhood and the tenderness that it inspires, the values of friendship and how the cruelty of life is perceived through the eyes of an innocent child, he may seem silly and lazy to some but they do not know the point of view how the Japanese see things, especially in movies, just like you don't have to be Japanese for what they want to imply since all humans are different but also the same in many things if it left me a depression, although it is a wonderful movie.
I kinda figured out during mid way. Like hang on a second the movie is called Kikujiro but the boy’s name is Masao so it has to be the other MC’s name.
This spoil the end when your learn that the movie was about the adult and not the little kid when the kid ask to the man what is name is and that he answer "Kikujiro".
This film was dubbed in Tamil movie and the result is stunning Oscar winning film lift time favorite..director and actor Mr. Mission done outstanding job ❤
I watched it it with school on release, didnt get that it was about the old man tho, i was 10. This is the best introduction to takeshi kitano you can think of...
