Kinema no Kamisama | If you watch it twice, you can meet Ken Shimura the actor

Impressions of seeing the god of Kinema / Kinema no Kamisama (touching the content)

The other day, I rented and watched the god of Kinema at home.

The story goes on as you go back and forth between the youth of young people who lived in good old Japan and present Japan, which is shaken by the new coronavirus in 2020.

Kenji Sawada, who plays the main character, dared to leave it behind, and when I thought about what left an impression on me, I was impressed that the actress played by Keiko Kitagawa was really like an old actress.

Her eyes are clear, her posture is good, and she is elegant and bullish.

She is very humane while she has an atmosphere that sets her apart from the common people.

I think it's definitely a spice to tighten this movie.

Yojiro Noda played Terashin, who is a good understanding of the main character.

I didn't know at first, but he said, "Well, he is a RADWIMPS person."

You played the role of a composer in the morning drama "Ale".

For the first time, he realized that he was also active as an actor.

His role is a serious, intelligent and naive young man.

He is quiet, but he has sincerity and passion inside, and when it's time to come, he reveals emotions and intensifies.

As a friend who supports the main character, Maruyama, I think he was able to play the inflection of that feeling well.

Kenji Sawada who took the place of Ken Shimura

Kenji Sawada, who plays Nao Maruyama, was selected as a substitute for Ken Shimura, so I compared it with Ken Shimura.

I had the impression that Kenji Sawada's personality was a little different from the unhealthy old man who was addicted to gambling and alcohol.

He can't get rid of the feeling that he has something to offer.

Still, when he gets into the movie, he acts so naturally that the discomfort disappears.

In some places, I can see from this prejudice that I am conscious of Ken Shimura.

However, it leaves a margin in the image of Ken Shimura in a place that is not overtly drawn like a mimicry.

Maruyama, who became an old man, begs for money and is praised, but it makes me imagine that Mr. Shimura would play like this.

Kenji Sawada is Kenji Sawada, and Ken Shimura is Ken Shimura.

Even if it is clearly divided, Kenji Sawada puts the priming water of the image that Ken Shimura would play like this.

In the first viewing, you will be drawn into understanding the story and Kenji Sawada's acting, but when you watch it the second time, the high voice when you call the laughter of Ken Shimura, who we know, and the low voice when you are serious. A sloppy look or a carefree smile comes to mind.

I think god of Kinema is a work that relieves our remorse of what kind of acting Ken Shimura would have done if he were an actor.

What is interesting about the story is that it well represents the youth who can draw big dreams because they are naive to young people.

It makes me think that the elderly who are now quiet may have had days when they had big dreams and challenged.

And when he talks about his dreams with his friends, he feel like he is a pioneer on the road, but there is a lack of experience and a narrow field of vision peculiar to young people.

After challenges and setbacks, he will come to understand the reality that what exists now is as much as possible.

Maruyama's idea seemed to be groundbreaking, but it's not because everyone doesn't do it, but because it's objectively funny, it doesn't make sense, and it's unacceptable to the world.

This is a place that realistically tells the difference in work attitudes and threads between young people and elderly people.

However, with the passage of time, in a world that has undergone many changes, there is room to accept the ideas of Maruyama, and even looks cool.

With the help of his grandson, he is praised for rewriting old ideas and putting them out into the world.

The success story that has been recognized after half a century makes me excited.

Life is fun no matter how old you are.

It's the place to get the most excitement.

In fact, I'm glad the movie ended here.

Serpentine part

It's not a bad thing, but when he gets the award, he is hospitalized and he is a little lacking in catharsis.

After that, there is a place to go to the movie theater and take a breath while watching the movie, but it feels like an after story after the ending, and it feels a little longer.

It seems that there are two endings.

Frustrated dreams when young are fulfilled after becoming an old man

If it was the end, it would be too simple, but I think it would be a happy ending movie that is common in the United States.

When alcoholism and illness appear there, it is brought back to reality.

Not everything works.

By adding the last part, I feel that it has changed from a mere success story to a human drama.

There is another place where Yojiro Noda plays the acoustic guitar.

I thought it wasn't necessary.

He's a musician, so he's very good at it, but I felt that the story was messy.

Of course, folk songs were popular at that time, so it wouldn't be strange if many young people started playing the guitar.

I don't know the character of Terashin because I haven't read the original, but I wonder if the scene where the guitar appeared in the movie was a little abrupt.

Acting is perfect, so if he compete as an actor there, I wondered if it wouldn't have to break the world view.
