REVIEW 'FINDING GAME'(RE/MEMBER) LIVE ACTION VERSION OF NETFLIX.
WARNING WITH SPOIL
It seems that you have waited a long time for the hit series of that year to be adapted into a movie. A while ago I heard that the story is being planned to be adapted into an anime, and I was very surprised to hear that there will be a live action version instead of an anime. It's unexpected and to be expected! But is the film as desirable as we think? Please say NO.
I will compare the details in the story, and the movie to give you the most comprehensive view! (I read the story a long time ago, so my memory may be a little bit wrong, hope the sages will kindly give me some gentle comments, please be patient for me!)
The first big minus point for the film is that it is adapted into a movie instead of a television. This shortens the length of the film to only 90 minutes, but the manga is attractive to 150 chapters. That's why the film has cut out the most important details and story situations. “Details make the work of gold dust” (Pautopxki). Cutting out important details makes the film just a bland copy of the manga.
The movie revolves around the first time finding the body (the story has 2 times to find the body) but because it has 90 minutes, it only revolves around the first time. That's why the plot of the movie has changed a lot compared to the manga. Let's take a look at the expensive details removed by the film!
Details of the origin of the red shirt through rumors of people in the school (like Japanese urban legends)
This is probably the MOST PRICE detail the filmmaker gets rid of. The whole school Asuka attended there was always a rumor that a female student came home late from school and she accidentally saw a red shirt. Then accidentally turned his head and was torn into a hundred pieces. Her body scattered all over the school was terrifying. But in the movie, the girl in red suddenly appeared through an online game.
Compare the red shirt in the movie and the red shirt in the manga. The red shirt in the movie must be said to be hyperactive and kill people with NO LAW. See who killed that person, even smart enough to dive into the pool to kill the other 3??? The plus point is that this red shirt can be shaped well, as expected, but the filmmaker has made the red shirt in the movie far different from the manga, which will probably make a lot of fans of this series inhibited! What is the difference between the RED T-shirt in the MANGA and the movie? The Red Shirt in the Manga has a rule to kill people to give the others time to find the body.
Rule 1: The red shirt will go all over the school, any player who sees the red shirt and turns his head like in urban legends, immediately the red shirt will appear behind and no matter what, he will know.
Rule 2: If the player doesn't turn his head, this little red shirt who doesn't know how to handle it will jump on the player's back and sing it a rhyme, if the music runs out then... Die
Rule 3: This red shirt will be as active as the one in the movie if someone takes Emily's teddy bear.
Perhaps deleting these 3 rules will make the movie circuit faster, but also more bland and make fans of this series inhibited ️
DETAILS BY FINDING AND ANNOUNCEMENT . Only now do I remember one more murder rule of this girl in red. In the movie, the person who asked to find the body is also the girl in the red shirt who is always funny. In the story, it's more interesting, the person asking for the body is a kid in the class. Every day it appears to ask the people it chooses, during the day when it asks, it's like a lost soul, sometimes the players have tried to kill it to keep it from asking, so that it won't have to play but failed. At night, the person who asked to find the body will act as the announcer and will announce the location of the red shirt to the player. Not like in the movie, you have to turn on the lights to cheat and hide from the red shirt :v.
Rule #4: Anyone who tries to open the announcer's room the little red shirt will show up and BOOM. After the end of the game, one of the players must stay behind to continue the game, acting as the finder and announcer.
DETAILS OF THE DEATH OF THE SISTERS. I don't know if the director of the film skimmed the story, but the death of the red shirt in the movie is exactly the same as the initial doubts of the players when learning about the death of the red shirt. In the small film, the red shirt was raped by a man and chopped up. In the story, there was a dark curse that the parents of the two little red-shirted sisters played with, so it haunted them to form the game. The red shirt has a sister, the two are twins, the sister will be in the radio room with the announcer, this sister will control the red shirt because the red shirt is very obedient to her. And the two sisters are the game administrators
Above are the details and situations of the expensive story that the film has cut. Let's review the movie together
Advantages: The actors are all beautiful boys and girls, know how to dig deep into the reality hidden in each person's heart, which is loneliness. The image of the red shirt is good, the movie details are somewhat innovative compared to the manga, which is also very interesting, the color of the film is beautiful, the sound is also very good, many people say the murder scene is boring but I think it is better than many other movies.
The new episode I'm talking about is the part where Emily turns crazy into a monster, not the manga kkkk
Cons: The movie happens too fast, anyone who has never read the story must be able to imagine the end of the movie sometimes, the actors are quite stiff, laughing and crying. Cutting too many details of the story, the female lead sometimes acts a little too inhibited (like some other instant series with that small scene that doesn't complete the task but stands there crying). Cut too many characters, everyone reading the story will be clear, not focusing on psychological analysis of characters like the story. Skip the inference to find the body. Instead, make a map to mark the places to find the body like in the movie. The image of Emily is not as beautiful as the prehistoric humans, the snowman in Doraemon.
In general, the film has also saved a bit of the detail of the teddy bear turning into a monster, which makes the film flow quickly and ends. But overall it's boring, failing given the massive success of the manga. Perhaps the film has upset the expectations of manga enthusiasts. The above article is my subjective opinion, I hope everyone keeps a cool head and gives me suggestions!
