Someone that no one has ever heard of.

I wonder where he disappeared to?

I was watching Antenna for Kase Ryo.  It was different.  Not exactly my kind of movie but good acting.  The S&M wasn't exactly my thing but there was a purpose for it.  The themes of Antenna were very dark too, full of taboo and grief and coping.

Anyways, as I was watching Antenna, I thought to myself that the kid who played Kase Ryo's younger brother should be famous by now.

But he wasn't.

I mean, he had the makings of Kanata Hongo's childhood success with the resume and the face, minus the snark.  And dare I say it?  He can act!!!  *gets bricked*  I love me some snarky Kanata but I need more range from him, in both work and expression.  :)

Kizaki Daisuke should be older than Kanata by now, around 21-22.  An '88er I think?  I'm not sure.  But after Antenna, he seems to have disappeared.  My guess is that he gave up his acting career and focused on school.  He should be a senior now in university if he chose to continue with his studies.

Maybe Antenna was him going out with a bang.  He did well.  I'm sorry to see him no longer in the business, but I suppose that's what "What if's" exist for.

On a side note, he'll never live it down for wearing a dress.

V  There's something intrinsically sorrowful about this picture.  He's in the hospital, but the fence represents much more than that.  He's imprisoned in his mind, in his home, in his understanding of the world.






And this picture.  Both of the brothers on the same side of the fence.  Are they both trapped or are they both free?  It's all a matter of perspective.  And here, Kizaki Daisuke's character pleads his older brother to not think of him as crazy.  To let him come home.  To let him in on a secret.  The dress was bought for him.



I found this scene so sad and out of place.  It completely represented the skewed nature of their psyches, of their family state.  And I find it more disturbing because of the warring expressions on the two brothers' faces.  Kase Ryo is full of anguish and disbelief while Kizaki Daisuke dons the dress meant for Marie, accepting the role given to him.






This scene kills me.  He looks like all skin and bones, looking up into the sky in only his underpants.  Without Marie, without those clothes, who is he?  Perhaps that was what he was wondering.






Overall, I still don't think it was my kind of movie.  But there were moments of understated, gut-wrenching splatters of symbolism that completed the movie.
