Recently, the weather was hot, and I suddenly remembered the scene of Seto and Inland Sea sitting by the river and spitting at each other, so I recommended this movie to everyone.
Seto Inland Sea is a 2016 Japanese small-budget film based on the popular manga of the same name by Moto and Tsunaya, starring Akira Ikematsu and Shoko Sugata. The film is short, only 75 minutes. Somewhat similar to the classic film "Love In" trilogy, that is, the protagonists keep talking together, talking non-stop, and it seems that there is no specific plot, just talking. The difference is that the "Love In" trilogy is an exchange between lovers, while "Seto Inland Sea" is a mutual spit and mutual hatred between two high school students.
The film stars Seto and Inlandi, played by Shoki Sugata and Shoryo Ikematsu, respectively, two actors born in the 90s who are popular in Japan and have popular acting skills. As the best of the 20th generation of actors, the two of them were predetermined by the audience early on. In fact, the two actors have already won the Best Actor Award at the Japanese Film Professional Awards, but the audience expects more from them than that, they should go further.
Seto Inland Sea, which means narrow strait, is located between Honshu and Shikoku in Japan, and got its name because it is between many straits. Since this film, the words Seto and Inland Sea have been separated and become the names of the two middle school students. Gakuba Glasses Male Inoukai (played by Ikematsu Shoryo) and the cute former soccer player Gakusaka Seto (played by Shoko Sugata) are high school students living in Kansai, the two are still good friends, and their hobby is to get together and chat after school. Generally speaking, the place of chat is on the stone steps of the river in the city, and the chat between two people with very different personalities is very wide, from the quarrel between the parents at home to the big french fries they are eating, from pesticides to the girls they like, in short, it is a typical brain-opening high school student gossip. Sounds boring. But the director is Omori Ritsuji, who once filmed "Maho Ekimae Tada Convenience Store" and "Maho Ekimae Wild Song", which made the daily life of two sullen and mournful middle-aged men interesting and exciting, and it was also handy to shoot the daily spit of two middle school students, which made people expect him to make a spit series.
Insai with glasses, seriously wears a school uniform, often takes a book, erudite, poisonous mouth, good at intimidating, cold personality; Seto is hanging Erlangdang, natural cute, nervous, bad grades, seemingly brave, but actually timid. Two such people met by chance one day. Inland Sea sat on the stone steps waiting for the arrival of the cram class, and Seto passed by, shouting at the reading Inland Sea, "Who are you?" Inlandi looked up at Seto and said, "That's what I'm supposed to say, isn't it?" The familiar Seto walked over, sat down next to him, and talked to himself, "I hate bugs, but lately there have been many small flies in my room, and I can't sleep every day." Inland Sea said, "Then you buy pesticides." Two people chatting opened.
This short 75-minute conversation was divided into seven episodes by the director, namely "Episode 1 Seto and Inland Sea", "Episode 2 Carrots and Sticks", "Episode 3 Threats and Doubts", "Episode 4 The Encounter of Uchiha Thoughts", "Episode 5 The Troubles of Seto Koyoshi", "Episode 6 Encounter and Parting", and "Epilogue The Love Scene of The First Phase of Himura".
The conversation seems to have no theme, but basically there is a general direction, the big grinning Seto is responsible for the main conversation, and the poisonous Inland Sea is responsible for the sharp snag. But in the midst of carelessness, something similar to truth often appears.
The funniest segment, in which Seto falls in love with a girl who loves inland seas, sounds awkward but comes to life.
Seto excitedly told Inland Sea after getting the mailbox of Tsubasa, but Inland Sea told him that he had the contact information of Tsuchura a long time ago.
After Seto carefully edited the first message and sent it to Tsubasa, he did not expect that Tsubasa did not save his mailbox at all, and the reply letter received turned out to be: Which one are you? Of course, Seto's text message is also extremely creative: Classmate Tsubaki, do you have a favorite food? I cooked curry at home today, which means eating curry oolong noodles the day after tomorrow...
What's more interesting is that Tsubasa contacted Inland Sea for the first time and said to him: It's terrible that a stranger sends me an email.
The love of the boyhood was basically fruitless, so it was still Seto and Inland Sea sitting by the river chatting, so it was good that the two of you were together to spit on it perfectly.
The chatter of two people seems careless, but it speaks the hearts of countless of us, which is where this movie composed of dialogue is interesting. Strongly ask the director to make a TV series!
