It's all about Gen....
The movie, Principal : 恋する私はヒロインですか？ was released on 3rd March 2018 and the DVD was released on 3rd October 2018.
Synopsis:
The story revolved around a girl named Sumimoto Shima who moved from Tokyo to Sapporo because she didn't get along well with his third stepfather. She decided to stay with her father who she hadn't meet for years.
As she entered the new school, she encountered with a boy with a not-so-good attitude, Gen, a sweet cheerful girl, Haruka and a soft-polite boy, Wao.
Gen and Wao were inseparable childhood friends, despite the different personalities that they had.
It was a movie of teenage love and friendship, and a bit of family ties.
Casts:
Kuroshima Yuina as Sumimoto Shima
Kotaki Nozomu as Tatebayashi Gen
Takasugi Mahiro as Sakurai Wao
My opinion on the movie:
1. I just love the scenery....be it when it was snowing or during the summer time. it gives me a cool yet warm feeling of the whole movie.
2. The story flow was quite rush but it was not too rush. In about 2 hours, you can get few stories about each of the characters. I do enjoy the flow but it would've been good if the flow was a bit slow.
3. The scenes were nice...There were less romantic scenes....
4. The interaction between the characters were good too....I just love any movies with no outstanding villains in it...in this movie, Haruka might be a bit dark at the beginning but she changed and became a good friend to Shima....
5. Overall casts were doing their good job. Gen was so normal...too normal that he'll make your heart skips....Wao is so sweet but not overly sweet...Shima was just an ordinary cute girl....Haruka was sweet too...and cute....
My opinion on Nozomu as Gen:
I watched the movie before I read the manga. So, my opinion is based on Gen's character in the movie. Obviously, the manga's Gen was a lot better. I'm not a good judge when it comes to acting. I just like the character if it fits the movie of it fits my preferences. What I really love about Gen is how he was a normal guy. Even though he should be like a prince-like person (like most of the manga heroes should be), Gen was different. The aura of a prince was not there. Why do I say he was normal? Because he reacted to things just like how a guy would do. He smiled, he laughed, he had clueless moments and he did get angry.
And the timing for him to realize that he loved Shima too was so late. You can only see his feelings towards Shima at the very end of the movie.
His love for Wao was so strong. I just like how Gen treated Wao as his younger brother. I can't describe well but they really potrayed the friendship well.
And how he properly apologized to Haruka about him being dishonest was a good thing to do.
For me, Gen is special. His voice was really nice to your ears.
My favourite scenes were:
1. In this scene, his mother talked something bad about Wao and that made him so angry. I just love how he shouted at his mom with those teary eyes.
2. This scene happened when he realized that his love was not meant for Haruka.
3. This is a super short shot but I like how he put the jacket on Wao.
4. I just love him in the sweater.
5. The most handsome Gen.
Is it recommendable? I do recommend it if you are looking for a simple not so heavy movie.
Honest claim : Gen is surely one of my very few favourites movie character.
Note : There are so many things that I love about Gen but I can't put them in words.
