About Movies?
Hello i joined last month, and i wanted to participate in here :)
I just finished watching "Tampopo" and i really liked it, i found it very funny.
Anyone else has watched it?
I'm a big fan of Anime I specially like: "Serial Experiments Lain"
And in the horror genre: "Ringu 0,1 & 2"
If you want to see something diferent, try tampopo, i will add one review:
Can anyone recommend me more films?
Like seeds of a dandelion blowing in the wind, the plot of Tampopo
wanders in several directions, following the lives of a quirky
collection of characters. At the heart of this film is a young widow
named Tampopo (Nobuko Miyamoto), who is struggling to make ends meet by
running a noodle restaurant. Goro (Tsutomu Yamazaki), a truck driver,
saves Tampopo's young son from being beaten by a group of school boys
and is rewarded with a bowl of very bad ramen (noodles). Goro tells
Tampopo the awful truth about her cooking and she asks for his help.
Together they search for the perfect ramen recipe.
Intersecting this part of the plot are several smaller and less well-realized stories. Koji Yakusho, who stars in Shall We Dance,
appears as a sensuous gangster who would rather play with his food than
eat it. Then there's the mysterious Noodle Master who lives with a
group of street vagabonds and a young executive who knows how to order
food from a French menu, but not how to preserve the dignity of his
superiors.
While the film as a whole feels somewhat disjointed, writer-director Juzo Itami manages to infuse Tampopo (which means "dandelion") with a sense of Japanese joie de vivre that is worth experiencing. Take notes during the "soup scenes" and see what you can cook up for yourself. --Luanne Brown
