kase ryo, at 34 years old with a scrawny build and a head full of messy hair may not be idol material but he's a man with such great talent in acting.
he acted in my favourite story in tokyo!, directed by micheal gondry, and gave such a wonderful performance that it remained the most memorable when i walked out of the cinema.
(i love the way the picture was taken too!)
there are so many movies of his that i wish to watch but japanese movies are always hard to find subbed argh.
unlike korean stuff, japanese stuff always give me such a headache cause im DYING TO WATCH THEM but it's so difficult cause they are less exposed to the overseas audience.
i want to watch a particular movie of his called 'i just didn't do it' which was japan's submission to the 80th academy awards for best foreign language film.
unfortunately it wasnt nominated but it won tons of japanese awards and the plot sounds fantastic.
it is about a man falsely accused of molesting a schoolgirl on the train which leads to the examination of the japanese judicial system where he is repeatedly being treated as guilty until proven innocent.
so this regular guy going about his normal life ends up getting caught in a one-sided fight against the full weight of the law.
japan's conviction rate used to be as high as 99.9% and a false verdict is very common.
IM SO EXCITED I WANT TO WATCH IT SO BADLY.
now i just have to hunt for it on the net sigh :(
if not im just going to spend money and rent it cause i think its THAT worth it :D
