I ended up procrastinating on writing the log for this movie which I think is telling. Usually after I watch a movie that I like I keep thinking about it the whole weekend, but with this I mostly forgot about it. Sure it was neat compositionally at times, but mostly? Eh. I feel like the other characters didn’t react strongly enough to the fact this dude literally has an atomic bomb. With some of the characters that makes sense, since they’re intended to be nonchalant about it. But the police REALLY did not seem as worried as they should be. The bomb guy also fucking with police during the 2nd Act was also dragging a bit.
I’m sure it says interesting things about Japan and its relationship with atomic bombs, but again. They way the movie went about it left me going. Eh.
It did start playing some Masayoshi Takanaka at one point so that’s cool.
