Viewing Notes
Movie #5
I had this on my watchlist (bc it stars Hidetoshi Nishijima).
A bomb in the Shibuya crossing would be horrible and it’s depicted as such here. This feels like a Korean thriller with a lot less intensity. A lot of good photography around Tokyo especially Tokyo Tower. It’s so amusing how it’s given such respect and admiration in films and the Skytree is never mentioned once. In fact I can’t recall a single film where the Skytree is mentioned let alone shown.
