The movie "Can't Kill Him and Can't Die Her" starring Shotaro Mamiya and Hinata Sakurai was released on DVD, adapted from the Japanese Twitter pop super tear-jerking four-frame manga, which was praised by Japanese netizens as "the four-frame manga that I want to cry the most after reading", and the movie version is also very tear-inducing and has a good reputation.
Starring: Shotaro Tsubai, Hinako Asai
Co-stars: Yuri Tsunematsu / Mayu Hotta / Yuna Kanai / Taro Kaneko / Daichi Kaneko / Ryo Nakao / Rei Sato / Yumi Satagawa / Yuko Moriguchi
Synopsis:
It tells that Kosaka, a high school student who always hangs on his lips and has no interest in anything, one day meets a Shikano who is burying the body of a bee, and this girl who takes "I want to die" as a mantra, often self-harming but valuing life, arouses Kosaka's interest, and what kind of spark will collide between the two of them?
In the film version, the director skillfully links the three stories of the original work, and the broken story produces a seemingly innocent connection, and the performance method is very delicate.
The film portrays the common troubles of high school students: getting along with their families, facing the pressure of schoolwork, social relationships with friends, and using the description of many daily trivial things to strike deep into our hearts, triggering strong resonance and reflection on the audience's connection with their own experience.
One of the main actors is Sakurai Hinata, who starred in "Marmalade Boy", who is popular with her fresh and ethereal girl next door, and this time in "He Can't Kill and She Can't Die" changed her past sunshine image and became a dark fringe girl who was accustomed to cutting her wrists and self-harming and being excluded by her classmates.
Shotaro Mamiya plays the male protagonist, a world-weary teenager who has no energy for life and calls people to death all day, and the two stage a tear-jerking world-weary love.
Another feature of this film is that the crew did not arrange a lighting engineer, did not light up, and was all shot by natural light, showing a special sense of transparency.
