J-movie marathon; The World of Kanako (2014)

Jun 15, 2015 16:14


For the last 4 days, I have been downloading a bunch of J-movies because Asia Torrents is in free-leach mode right now. Thanks, Asia Torrents!
The first movie that I decided to watch is "The World of Kanako (2014)". Because.... Komatsu Nana is in here. :3 I watched her in Kinkyori Renai (co-starred with Yamapi) and I saw that she just debuted recently with "The World of Kanako". There are lots who praised her in this movie, so I became curious with it.


Movie Plot:
Kanako (Komatsu Nana) became missing one day. Thus, her mother called her father which is a former detective. Both of her parents knew nothing of her (Or should I say never gave her attention). They never knew that Kanako is starting to be involved with horrible things. As his father tries to investigate the situation, he finds what are truly happening in Kanako's life.
Movie Review:
Hmmmm... How do I say this... The movie is kind of gore and is extremely R-18. My screen was full of blood the entire time. Though it is not my first time seeing such explicit scenes, I find the "adult scenes" very.... inappropriate? I can't find a more suitable term for it. The movie made me feel uncomfortable.
I have seen movies like "Confessions (2010)" and I didn't feel awkward watching it. Take note, I even watched it with my sister. Though there were no adult scenes there, the theme was also about revenge. But the plot was delivered with class and it even made me pity the other characters. While I was being amazed as the story unfolds in Confessions, I was like WTF the entire time with The World of Kanako. *sigh*
Oh, oh! And Tsumabuki Satoshi is in there. Fine as always. But he's character is a douchebag. Maybe that will encourage you to watch the movie? Haha.
Rating: 5/10
Not for me, but others liked it. Maybe you as well if you like revenge movies with extreme scenes/plot.
