In "Movie (fiction)," I have compiled movie review articles about fiction films. Although I usually watch more documentaries than fiction, I tend to watch movies based on true stories in the case of fiction. Because I still have a strong interest in "what is happening in this world," whether it's fiction or documentary.

[Review] The Natural Unnaturalness of “Drive My Car” (Director Hamaguchi Ryusuke, Original Murakami Haruki)
The movie "Drive My Car" directed by Hamaguchi Ryusuke, based on a short story by Murakami Haruki, creates a similar "natural unnaturalness" atmosphere to Murakami's novels. How he makes the "unnatural" world seem "natural" and what kind of impact the "natural unnaturalness" has on the entire work are explored. -

[Movie Review] How a Film Director Creates Magic with Words: “Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy” (Director Hamaguchi Ryusuke)
The elements that make up a "film" as a medium are many, but the film director Ryusuke Hamaguchi's work "Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy" is a remarkable work that produces madness, emotion, and laughter with just the "script" and "actors". It is an omnibus work with three completely different stories, and each one is so wonderful that I feel like I could watch them forever. If you come across the opportunity to see it, I highly recommend it. -

[Movie] The Power of Language in a Four-Hour Film: “Intimacies” (Director Hamaguchi Ryusuke)
As a graduation project from a vocational school, Hamaguchi Ryusuke's film "Intimacies" is an ambitious work that incorporates a two-hour and ten-minute play within a play.

Although it is very long at four hours, glad I saw it. -

[Film review] Shoplifters: A Movie That Questions Good and Evil (Director Koreeda Hirokazu)
I believe that anyone who breaks the law should be punished, regardless of the reason. However, this is not related to the judgment of good and evil.

Betrayed: A Shocking True Story of the Holocaust in Norway (Director Eirik Svensson)
The movie "Betrayed" is based on the shocking true story of Norwegian police who rounded up Jews living in their country and sent them on a ship to Auschwitz. It shows the harsh reality that "I'm not that foolish" is not an optimistic way to think. Such tragedies have occurred many times to this day.
