Bad Lands (2023)

A cool & calm thriller with a captivating story that unfolds little by little.

With 2:22 hrs an unusual long movie, that needs patience and concentration.
By vibe it was very cool, and calm. Most thrillers are action loaded and therefore very loud and you are stimulated visually all the time by fast cutting scenes. This one is different. Somehow a lot happened all the time, and the plot kept going, but it wasn't obvious. It's like you are absorbed without noticing. There was a detail oriented steadiness that kept the tension unconsciously.

Don't know how to describe it, but like you are scammed and not aware of it, that some unavoidable incident already happened, because you don't see it yet. This movie has some kind of subtleness. So someone who is used to apparent spoken out concrete happenings might find this movie very boring, because it took it's time to introduce all characters in the beginning and slowly unfolds to give the big picture,

Personally, i really loved the vibe and feeling that was created by showing different places and the environment and the people. I think a very successful novel adaptation in regards of the feeling that was transported by the mood. It reminded me of the vibe that documentaries give off, because there was a focus on places and how a place is shown from different angles. In this it was somehow atpical to the usual japanese camera-work.

I'm a big fan of Ando Sakura and Yamada Ryosuke, and seeing them together was really enjoyable. Waited full of anticipation for subs for this movie for a few month now and i was not disappointed.

The best aspect is still the plot, characters and storytelling that makes the time worth watching.

SORPRENDENTEMENTE BUENA?!

Lo primero que tienes que entender sobre mí es que no me gusta el entretenimiento asiático que involucra mujeres la mayor parte del tiempo; No porque no me gusten ellas, no. Amo a las mujeres, amo los personajes femeninos...Pero los directores y guionistas asiáticos NUNCA parecen entender cuando se trata de escribir personajes femeninos. Incluso en programas o películas relacionados con la acción, siempre veo que las chicas necesitan el personaje masculino para salir adelante y DIOS, ODIO ESO, así que siempre termina sin gustarme las cosas que veo, la mayoría de las veces opto por ver solo películas de chicos porque me enfado menos. Esperaba que BAD LANDS fuera así, la protagonista era la chica, pero por experiencia solo había hecho clic para mirar únicamente el trasero de Ryosuke Yamada (literalmente, como he visto, gracias Jesús), pero la película en su conjunto cambió. El personaje femenino es fuerte desde el principio, lo cual es sorprendente, me encantó cómo el guionista la hizo fuerte desde niña y no por abuso, me encanta que sea discapacitada y sobre todo me encanta cómo se maneja todo sobre ella y la historia. Sin embargo, no vi venir el final, muy triste para mí como fan de Ryosuke, pero en general, ¡especialmente el apretón de manos entre las dos chicas fue TAN JODIDAMENTE PODEROSO! DIOS ASIA ¡DAME MÁS DE ESTO!
