[Review] Kondo no Nichiyoubi ni-On The Next Sunday
it's a movie about a Korean girl named Choi So Ra (Go Younha) that studied in Japan to follow her boyfriend, Lee Hyon Jun and a Japanese man named Matsumoto Shigeru (Ichikawa Somegoro) who works as Janitor at So Ra's university. So Ra filmed Matsumoto for her First Year Assigment in University; followed his journey and also his strange hobby : collects empty bottles. Later on So Ra found her lost smile and new objectives for her future, because after a broke up with Lee Hyon-Jun she forgot about that. While Matsumoto, found his courage again to keep working hard for the future after being alone because of divorce.
This movie is not a kind of romantic-relationship, it's about friendship with someone older (So Ra is 19, Matsumoto is 37!) and how to support each other honestly. The most interesting part is when Matsumoto told So Ra the hisroty of each bottle he collected, and said that those bottles are his power to keep moving forward everyday.
Kinda slow for the story flow. To be honest I'm bored at first half but when it comes to the end, when So Ra met Matsumoto and trying hard to filmed him, it got interesting.
I love Younha's acting that looks so natural in here especially when he waited for Pizza Delivery! She play along with her cellphone's slide-how clever is that? Too bad Younha's Japanese is so fluent as the Korean Student. About Ichikawa Somegoro, I don't really know about him actually but I think his acting is good. I love his voice, though, really have a different feeling for the movie.
My favorite part? Playing song with the bottles! The bottles' colors are pretty~
