📽 JFF Theater Movie Club | September Featured Movie 🖥👻 回路 (Pulse)

Finally got to watch ナミヤ雑貨店の奇蹟!

Summary

The beginning setting in another decade was interesting, I would like to see more of Japan in an older, yet still modern era.

I was a bit thrown off by the pace initially, the musician’s story was in the beginning not really for me and the ‘sacrificed himself to save the orphans’ felt a bit too dramatic. Then they introduced all these other sidelines, which was a bit confusing at first, but they wrapped everything up beautifully! I actually like these kind of movies a lot, where everything suddenly makes sense at the end.
The only lament I have is that telling the best career and investment options from the future felt a bit like cheating and too simple.

I will put up the poll for the next cycle shortly!
