But Ichiro is always loyal to his family. One day he went to the doctor for a checkup because he was not feeling well. From there it is known that he has cancer.
Knowing this, he became confused. Can't even tell family members. So, one night he goes to the park to spend time. There she met a boy named Hero.
At that moment, they saw a spaceship in the sky. In fact, it was the aliens' spaceship, the aliens came and gave the two of them special powers ....
The movie is adapted from the Japanese manga of the same name. Nowadays, most of the time when making movies from such superhero, fantasy or heavy metal action rich manga, the makers use plot, action, Focuses more on production design.
The result is that the characters do not fit into the original movie and the characters do not have depth. As a result, the story can not be connected. This is where the makers of Inuashiki bet.
Hiroshi Hasimoto's writing stands out here. Very nicely developed characters. The ideology of the two main characters, Ichiro and Hero, has come to the fore in a wonderful way.
These two characters are a reflection of many people in our society today. Along with this, some of the side characters also have some or the other importance.
As a result of good writing, this movie seems to be more of a popcorn action superhero less character based dramatic superhero movie.
So if anyone sees movie posters and trailers and expects very high level out and out action then they will be disappointed. Shinsuke Sato's management is great. He knows very well how to make a movie from manga.
Here too he gave his best. Every scene, The stories and characters are skillfully portrayed on the screen. The screenplay is also quite good though it may seem slow to many.
The technical side is another strong point of this movie. Great cinematography and camera work. In some places, the tone is dark.
Mindblowing was the capture of many more scenes including Exploration Scenes, Chasing Scenes in the Sky at Ending, Action Moments.
VFX's work is also admirable, although it is better not to compare it with Hollywood, but as good as Japanese cinema.
Utaka Yamadar music has also made the movie more lively. BGM has chased every scene in a great way and has been able to create high points in the ending.
and Takeru Satoh have beautifully played Narita in the two main characters 'Ichiro' and 'Hero'. According to that character, as much acting is needed, both of them have handled it well.
However, in comparison, Takeru has performed better. Besides, those who were in the side character also performed more or less well.
In order to present new superheroes on the movie screen, along with good stories, their character development should also be done well. Then they take place in the mind of the viewer just as they give life to the character story.
Inuashiki movie is very successful from here. Yes, it doesn't have hardcore action like Marvel DC movies. Action lovers can be so frustrated. However, since it is an original movie, the focus here is more on the character rather than the action.
Hopefully there will be more action for the viewers in the second part. The movie easily wins the hearts for its beautiful story, presentation, acting, technical side, music etc.
Anyway, I think this movie is a must see for all superhero lovers. I don't see any discussion about this movie. It's an underrated but good enough superhero movie. The IMDB movie currently has a rating of 7.5 and a Rotten Fresh score.
