Pornographer (2021)

The beautiful closure we all needed!!

Wow just WOW, I love the manga and the series wholeheartedly, I expected the best in this movie and I was just completely blown away!! This was just 100x better than what I expected!!

First off, this review wouldn't be focusing on the story, this is mainly dedicated to the whole prod team who created such an amazing job of bringing Marikudo-sensei's work to life. I have to be honest I love the manga but Takezai, Izuka and Yoshida made the whole series unforgettable for me. It's rare for an adaptation to surpass the original, but the series did that and gave us more than we could ever ask for, so thank you so much for bringing the characters to life.

The movie gave us yet another spectacular performance between Takezai-san and Izuka-san (especially Izuka, the man probably gave the acting of his lifetime here, my heart breaks in every scene he's in, seriously this man is a gem, I'm just stunned by his range!!) All the passionate erotic scenes were amazing here, they completely outstand the erotic scenes from Mood Indigo (seriously I never thought the day would come that Kuzumi can beat Kido in terms of erotic scenes with Kijima but damn, I was stunned, speechless and blushing like a complete fool).

There were just some parts from the manga that would have been nice to see in the movie, like them having couple rings and finally living together (they celebrated Kijima's bday too!!) But all in all this was a beautiful adaptation of the most complicated yet interesting life story of Kijima. There's nothing that I could've asked for more, the series has become very dear to me that it's hard to accept that their story is finally over. It has been a wild ride, and my adoration for this series will never fade, they left such a huge impression on my mind that I will think of this for years to come.

Good.

-Neg:

1. That Rio has reinstated his old role. (accident)
2. That he could not express his feelings to Haruhiko.
3. Too few kisses
4. The Music during the lovescenes were not fitting.


+Pos:

1. The Maincouple
2. Acting (especially the Kissing and Lovescene). It was excellent. i don't even want to know how hard that was.
3. That the two became a couple towards the end.
4. Finally few Lovescenes. I have been desperately waiting for this (already in the series). The Lovescenes was excellent from the Quality and the duration. Iam Very satisfied.
5. The duration of the kisses. I loved it. They killed me right away. Lol

The best in the franchise

like everyone else I watched the novelist first and then mood indigo. I thought that was that until I found out they were 3 other movies/short videos after that. I didn't watch the short videos but only the movie ( the pornographer: playback). I was eager to see how their relationship would be like, although it had it's ups and downs it generally turned out alright.
I'm not gonna lie I expected more sex scenes but I'm satisfied with the ones I got cos their chemistry is off the charts!!! And whenever they're kissing I feel like I'm violating their privacy or something cos they're so passionate about it. Overall it was wonderful rollercoaster of events.

La pieza que faltaba en el rompecabezas

He de admirar a la persona encargada de los live actions (y al escritor de los mangas) pues cada historia dentro de este universo toca las perspectivas de cada uno de los personajes principales de manera plena.

Pornographer/the novelist está narrada desde la perspectiva de Kuzumi, un universitario que comenzó a conocerse a sí mismo gracias a Kijima. Vimos en primera fila como un chaval se enamoraba por primera vez, y no fue que se enamoró de alguien fácil, se enamoró de Kijima, un hombre con una carga enorme por detrás. Mood indigo trata la perspectiva de Kido. Gracias a él conocemos a Kijima y vemos el porqué de su actitud. Kido lastimó de mil maneras a Kijima quien terminó convirtiéndose en otro Kido, para la desgracia de todos.

Ahora, Playback nos cuenta todo desde la perspectiva de Kijima. En los anteriores programas conocimos una versión misteriosa de Kijima, él era como un ser al que nunca se le conocerá por completo. Playback, en cambio, nos cuenta todos esos pensamientos ocultos de Kijima y nos muestra sus miedos, sus inseguridades. Kijima es una persona egoísta que escapó de su realidad y se refugió en otra bajo la historia de que estaba siendo perseguido, sin tomar en cuenta los sentimientos de su familia y, sobre todo, Kuzumi. Él no quiere aceptar que existe alguien (Kuzumi) que lo ama tanto y por ello busca alejarlo, es como si no se creyera merecedor de tal amor. No se dio cuenta, sin embargo, del daño que le causaba a Kuzumi, quien desde siempre lo ha amado y ha apoyado.

Todos, incluyendo a su servidora, creímos que pasaría algo entre el bartender y Kijima. No obstante, este y su hermana acabaron siendo ese empujón que necesitaba Kijima para abandonar sus demonios e ir por Kuzumi, su verdadero amor.

La escena en la que Kijima le dice que lo ama por primera vez y la escena en la que Kijima, llorando, le confiesa a Kuzumi que lo ama y que tiene miedo, representan lo que más hemos esperado desde el inicio. Kijima por fin pudo aceptarse y aceptar su realidad.

Me encanta que se le hubiese dado un final al problema de Kido. Era necesario aclarar que eran amigos y que no pasaría nada pues nunca hubo una línea definida entre ellos dos.

Esta película le hizo justicia a este hermoso, complicado y candente universo, mostrándonos que a veces hasta las personas más complicadas pueden llegar a ser amadas.
