I got bored... :S


I expected this movie to be really good. But i actualy got bored watching it after half of it and just skipped around to the end. Did anyone else?

I have never done this before on a movie. Maybe the storyline just didn't appeal to me at all.

No. Sir, you truly are insane.

It was totally boring. It took me a couple days to get through it. And I like anime a lot. They really cheesed it up with the two guys following her around filming her story.

Although I guess one of them turned out to be important, he didn't need to be in every scene. It got confusing what events were real and what they were making up for the fun of it.

reply

I thought those two guys were the best part of the movie

Boring? The whole movie is a giant chase.

In Punk we trust.

a giant chase when the point of the movie was "It's not about the destination, but the journey." screw that so damn much, I damn near hate this film

reply

That's a shame.

There's also the theme of unrequited love, a journey through the years of Japanese cinema, and so much more. Yeah, it was about the journey. All the best stories are about the journey: The Odyssey, Lord of the Rings, Heart of Darkness.

You are sin.

all much better and more substantial than this obnoxious predictable film.

They just had different journeys to tell. Millennium Actress won numerous awards and acclaim for being an incredible journey through Japanese history. There's a reason it's on so many best of lists.

You are sin.

not mine

reply

That's ok. It is on mine. The universe is balanced. Well, it's actually more in favor of Millennium Actress, but you get the idea.

You are sin.

I can understand what the director was interested in about it being a 'all-about-the-chase' and 'it's-about-the-journey' movie. I was not big on it though.
