REVIEW: RUNWAY☆BEAT
Today, I went to watched RUNWAY☆BEAT for the second time. The first time, I watched it with two of my best friend and today, I watched it with my younger sister.
Overall, I love it. This movie mixed friendship with fashion, a theme that is quite refreshing to me because let me tell you, not many high school students are able to pull off a fashion show for their graduation ceremony.
So before I become too annoying by ranting, let me introduce the main cast that forms the ☆.
Starting from the left: Kiritani Mirei, Sakuraba Nanami(lead girl), Seto Koji(lead guy), Tanaka Kei, Imalu
To me, this movie is really worth watching because of the hidden meaning behind it, that is, 'you can change as long you have the heart to.' I'll WARN you that this is going to be quite a spoiler.
In this movie, the lead guy BEAT (Seto Koji), went through ups and downs. His father who wasn't there for him and his mother when she passed away when he was a child, as well as his childhood friend, Kirara, who is suffering from some terminal disease. He was a transfer students and made friends with the other four students. First he transformed Wanda (Tanaka Kei) from a nerd to the coolest guy in class (I still think BEAT is cooler XP) and after gaining the support of his new classmates who admires his designs, they decided to do a fashion show with BEAT being the designer and Miki (Kiritani Mirei) as the lead model. In the process of preparing for the fashion show, the students receive horrible news about the school closing down and if that wasn't bad enough, BEAT was later accused of copying designs from WORLDXMODE, a fashion label Miki works under. This causesw the everyone in class to lose the enthusiasm in continuing with the fashion show. I won't say how they picked themselves up again but trust me, if you watch it, you'll get see Koji-kun's upper body BARE! It was funny cause his father just came in and went, "take off your shirt." JUST LIKE THAT! HIS FATHER IS SO EPIC!!! XP
This show mixes a bit of romance of BEAT and Mei (Sakuraba Nanami) as well as Miki and Wanda. ^^
For those girls who loves fashion, this is one movie you CANNOT miss. I repeat. CANNOT MISS! Towards the end of the movie, the fashion show planned by these students came out great and IT LOOKS PROFESSIONAL!
To me, this movie is not just a movie. It's also a way to remember this very special year because in this movie, the students are graduating with a fashion show and they are doing it together as a class. I, too, am graduating this year, so though this is my second time watching this, I still ask myself after the movie ended, 'what do I want to do with my class this year so that we could forever remember this very significant year that we have led together?'
So to those who have watched this movie, have you ever considered this question?
