It was my second time of attending Hawaii International Film Festival. I was actually more exciting than last years Hawaii International Film Festival. Even though those movies were not Hollywood movie, people were interested and come to feel foreign movies. I watch two different movies, which are Bunker77 and Your Name. I decided to watch movie that made by Japanese because I am from Japan and wanted to see how people react to the movie from different prospective.
First movie that I watch was Bunker77. I believe I’m the only one HPU student who watched this movie. I choose this movie because main character Bunker is known for legendary cult surfer in early 60s to late 70s. Also a Japanese professional surfer also a director Takuji Masuda directed this movie. Takuji took 12 years to finish up this movie. The content was about true story documentary of famous actor Clark Gable’s stepson Bunker Spreckles. It was really impressive to see one of the professional surfer’s lives before surfing became social sports. Bunker was involving surfing but then, he addicted to drugs and having too much fun to play with girls. He passed away only 27years old. The theater showing this movie was small but packed by many local legend surfers. I was really surprised that. Second movie was Your Name, which was a romantic Japanese anime, revolves two young main characters. The reason why I chose to watch this movie is because I’ve heard this movie came out few months earlier in Japan and already has a lot of good reviews. Also because ticket for first two screening was sold-out within few ours after start selling, I was really interested in why many people hoping to see this movie. Even though the story is simple and language is Japanese, I get deeply in to the movie because a lot of depth added while story goes on. I really like it and I would like to watch this movie again. The whole HIFF was fantastic. People in Hawaii do not have any chance to feel foreign movie as much as other States even though there is lot of travelers around. People work together to make is happened and I was really impressed by it. This year would not be my last film festival to attend! . |
