Sitting on a star looking for the moon
So... This movie is alot and at the same time... Not that much.
I think it's useful to know that this movie is actually based on a manga that ended in 1987 when yankee culture and bike gangs were in their prime so that's actually were the concept comes from, and it does seem a little, if not ALOT outdated.
Actually the ages of the main characters were not very fitting? Atleast the FML did not behave like a middle schooler at all. Essentially it's about 2 people in a dark place in their life meeting each other and kind of finding that soulmate connection and the comfort of a perso who understands and loves you.
For me it seemed more like a friendship than a romantic entanglement. The problems the FML has with her mom I think are not portrayed in the most easy to understand way, atleast that's what I think. Actually the conflict that they both had and the lack of love and attention her mom gave her was settled way too quickly and not that realistically..
Some scenes didn't really make sense?
Like there was not alot of logic or thinking where I think the writing was truly lacking.
It is filmed very gorgeously mostly ant sunset and night wich makes the film very atmospheric and artistic in a cinematographic sense.
I would say it's not as heavy as I initially expected it to be but it's more on the serious side.
All in all a average watch for me :)
