sugar and spice
sometimes it is nice to watch a late movie, even if it means taking nr home. but the movie must be right.
i seriously didnt know what sugar and spice would be like. but i must say i am glad i watched it. it is a simple story that leaves a lasting impression, the story of a boy's failed first love. it may sound cheesy, and i don't really think reviews, if any, were favourable, not that i give a damn about those reviews, anyway, but it is refreshing to watch. i must say that it has affected me. i don't really know how to put it in words.
Yuya Yagira's acting was thoroughly impressive, and he is only 17. he captures the essence of a high school student coming of age. The cast was very likeable, with perhaps the exception of noriko's ex. there is also a lot of style factor, with erika sawajiri, saeko and mayuko iwasa.
erika sawajiri is certainly someone to look out for.
Returning home, i was interested to see what people think about sugar and spice. i read a comment that noriko's character was not well-developed, and that the love story rang hollow.
i think this comment missed the whole point. i think this comment arose because the person has a very rigid idea of how things should be done, an idea which is unfortunately not entirely correct. worse, it restricts him and stifles his creativity and imagination.
How developed is 'well-developed'? What would a non-hollow love story be like then?
sometimes you can jumble up the order, leave out things or focus on things. there is no template. the moment a template comes in, you are kissing goodbye to yourself.
