Goemon

[chibirocka]

Saw this 2009 movie, Goemon. Turned out to be a real find. I thought it would just be the usual CGI-laced action flick with a lame plot and bad direction but boy, was I wrong. CGI was the least of its charms. The characters were compelling and the story was beautiful. One of the best films I've seen in a while. Oh and the soundtrack is wonderful. Saw the other Kazuaki Kiriya film Casshern soon after. I realized he did everything right with Goemon where he went wrong with Casshern. Good for him going from "pretty messed up" to "absolutely awesome". Woot!

Here's the end song "Rosa" by Violet UK from Goemon
