( as she is described on the dust jacket
though many of the characters are taken from harvest moon 64 , they have somewhat different personalities , families , and occupations , which led to minor controversy among fans as these altercations were carried over to harvest moon : ds and ultimately became the final canon of said characters . unlike any other game that takes place in mineral town , it applies more 3d graphics and many features that can ' t be found in the game boy versions .
the song that was playing while they were dancing at the dance . it went this ain ' t love but it ' s close enough i ' m thinking years from now . . . it was a country song i need to know the name of it . please help

and not always what others thought she should do . the simple story and illustrations were very appealing to me . the drawings of the north country reminded me that it is one of my favorite places to be . altogether , i found the total package to be a sweet read !
thank you for your reply . the song i am looking for is in the scene in which they go to the dance ( not at the end ) and the characters are line dancing . it ' s an upbeat song with the lyrics
i think i ' m thinking too much
in it . can ' t find it anywhere .
in spring , the harvest sprites have a tea party but you can make them work for you by talking to them five times .
karen - she lives with her parents , jeff and sasha , behind the supermarket . rick has been her childhood friend since they were little kids . her hobbies include dancing , singing , and hanging out at the bar and drinking . she has expensive tastes such as wine , sashimi , and truffles .
it is your goal to work the land and care for livestock , just as in any other harvest moon games . at first , you are given a hoe , a sickle , a hammer , and an axe in order to clear up and work the debris - cluttered land . later on , you can upgrade your tools and obtain more in order to do tasks more efficiently .
three things disappointed me about
dancing at the harvest moon :
1 . the book i was reading has the question marks upside down . it was startling and distracting . also made me focus on how many questions were asked in this book . 2 . the cathie pelletier ( k . c . mckinnon is a pseudonym ) humor was not there . 3 . i believe you cannot go back . life is a journey forward . and , really , can a relationship with 20 year ago difference work ? and why isn ' t eliot angry about maggie breaking his dad ' s heart ?
as typical of many of the harvest moon titles , you come to inherit a farm after your grandfather ' s passing . however , in this game , it has been decided by the residents of mineral town that you can only inherit the farm if you restore it to its former glory and fit in with the townsfolk within three years .
maggie decides to purchase the dance hall and restore it in time to have the ball to celebrate the annual harvest moon as a tribute to the fond memories of her idyllic romantic summers at the lake . as maggie and her friend , claire , are figuring out a way to rebuild the dance hall , maggie meets john , the charming son of her first love . she accepts john ' s offer to help reconstruct the hall and when he and maggie develop intense feelings for each other , she must decide if her passion is for john or the lingering memory of his father .

after maggie ' s husband of 20 years leaves her , she returns home to canada . she is determined to reopen the harvest moon , a local club . maggie also meets up with robbie , her old flame and befriend claire . i wish that k . c . mckinnon would write more books !

despite the transparent efficiency of substituting the love interest ' s son for the originaland despite the truly shameless level of sentimentality and bathosmckinnon may have hit the jackpot .
maggie ' s first love took place in 1967 and so did mine so guess i enjoyed this book for that reason . we never really forget our
first love

i opened up this book by k . c . mckinnon ( the penname of writer catherine pelletier ) thinking it ' s a short read , should be a good , chill break from the more politically themed books i ' ve been tearing through recently . harvest moon is the story of maggie mcintyre , a forty - something whose husband does the mid - life crisis and runs off with his assistant . about to be a divorcee , maggie herself runs off to re - start her life in the small canadian town where she spent summers as a teenage girl . she hopes

yes , she was in the hallmark hall of fame movie
a smile as big as the moon
, with john corbett . she portrayed a teacher , who helped to take special needs students to nasa . she seemed very gentle and sweet in that movie , a great character for her .

i decided to read this book after stumbling upon the movie . i ' ve watched the movie three times and will watch it again that many more . i loved the book as well . i recommend this book for the hopeless romantic who perhaps has given up on love .
i had this book some years back , loved the story and shared it at my office and didn ' t see it again for over a month , one lady after the other shared it with someone else . somewhere i still have my first copy but i decided to get another since i could only find one available on amazon . i plan to share it with my current co - workers who will love it also i know .
i found this book at the bottom of my book shelf . not sure when i got it ; possibly when i worked for a big book wholesaler a decade ago . i don ' t know why it took so long to read it but i ' m glad i did because i really liked it . this is definitely chick - lit but not a romance novel . yes , it has a lot of romance , in fact it is obsessed with it , but not in the romance genre kind of way . so why you may ask did i finally read this book ? the back cover enticed me with the following :
for some people , the
i saw this one in a book drop off where people leave the books they no longer want for others to take and i ' m glad i took it . i really enjoyed this book ; one of the best i ' ve read in a while after a line of ' meh ' books - - perhaps i ' m just growing out of ya ? i loved the imagery and the poetry of this one , it was very pretty . the story line really spoke to me ; it reminded me of my summer days when i would go to my grandmother ' s for my summer job - - right down to the lake and the forest . everything about how little bear lake brought maggie memories of the best summer of her life reminded me of my fondness of that place i loved when i was younger . and the
she ' d always imagined that the moon would wait for her , would encase itself in a gauzy cocoon of memories and wait .
quote really hit home . alongside the memories and the relateablility , this book gave me some serious wanderlust . i love a book that can make me homesick for the places i ' ve never been . i loved each of the characters as well ; none of them were foolish or did anything stupid and abrupt . maggie put thought into things before making decisions . and eliot put just as much in for her as she did for him . good book , i highly recommend it .
around the time this game was released , a famous rumor occurred where if all the bachelorettes were married , a girl named elizabeth would move into town .

i ' m about 80 or so pages in , and have two observations so far . one , i am not sure why the author feels it necessary to mention a song from the 60 ' s on practically every page , and two , why do i have the feeling this is going to get weirdly creepy in the romance department ? ( i can ' t say any more than that for fear of giving away something in the plot . ) * * * * * * * * done the book , and i was right about the creep factor . ★

ok , i ' m not one for cheesy romance novels , but i liked this one . the author does get a bit wrapped up in describing scenery every now and then , but i just sped up my reading through those parts to get to the meat of the story . it ' s a pretty quick read and it doesn ' t have all the
filler
that a lot of novels have just to increase the number of pages . i recommend it if you are in the mood for a story about second chances for love .
if you have ever romanticised about what might have happened had you not let youthful love go then this book will hold your attention and your heart . its beautiful imagery will transport you from any city to enjoy the fullness of the beauty of the landscape enjoyed by our main character .

i read this several years ago and rated it a 6 out of 10 . it is a story about a divorced woman in her forties who decides to go back to visit the lake in canada where she met her first love and eventually
broke his heart
. this time she buys the old inn where she had worked , and meets the son of her old flame . i can ' t remember the details about why i gave it a 6 / 10 ; it could have been the style , or maybe it just didn ' t ring true . i should have written it down .

this may - december romance could ' ve been better told . the romance between maggie and elliot took a bit too long to develop . we learn quite a bit about maggie and the torch she ' d carried all these years for robert , elliot ' s father . but we learned very little about elliot and his emotional path towards this love for maggie , the woman who was his father ' s first love . it ' s still a good and easy read , but it lacked the depth in character and emotion that i was hoping for .
i never really felt engaged by this story . in fact , my mind often wandered while reading it . for me , the character development was lacking . especially in regards to the character of eliot . all we get of eliot is that he could be his father ' s twin - - same looks , mannerisms , interests . we really don ' t get anything of his personality or why maggie falls in love with him other than he reminds her of his father . due to the lack of depth , i found myslef skimming my way to the end .

what i liked : i liked that maggie found a purpose for herself and that she slowly gained confidence , even though the life that she had lead was nothing to be ashamed of . i also liked that maggie couldn ' t remember her last letter to her first love , especially the circumstances surrounding it , since time does tend to distort things .

love
with a boy less than half her age , thus having her own mid - life crisis . okay , here are my issues with this book : first : maggie is 46 and the barely - adult she falls for is 21 . ew . second : this boy ( really ) is the son of her first love . ew . third : as a college professor ( as am i ) , maggie deals with young men who are approximately 21 on a regular basis ( as do i ) . even the thought of my having a relationship with someone the same age as one of my students is gross . ew . i speed - read through the last couple of chapters . this book has been compared to the notebook and bridges of madison county . no . it ' s not even in their league .

pixl is levinson ' s network he puts some of his movies on . dish network carries it as well however rarely are new movies premiered on it so its not worth paying extra for . some of the movies on their are just ones he did for hallmark under a different title . and there ' s been problems with him refusing to pay his movie writers when he runs the movies on that network .
easy read , couldn ' t put it down . interesting turn of events . her insecurities were relatable even if the material wasn ' t . nice to see a woman do what men have been doing forever ! !
the main point of the book for me was
what do you think ? ? ? what do i think ? ? ?

fantasia 2015 review : sono sion ' s tag , sure there are lots of japanese girls in it , but . . .
a small group of former classmates organize an elaborate , annual game of tag that requires some to travel all over the country .
the appointment group ( tag ) is extremely proud to have been recognised in multiple categories at the business travel people awards 2018 .
tag is based on a true story featured in the wall street journal about a group of friends who have been playing a no - holds - barred version of the children’s game tag for the last 30 years . mark steilen and rob mckittrick penned the script .
from this summer ' s films , i thought tag and love & peace were pretty good overall ; shinjuku swan was his worst ever .
specially thanked , an 8x10 film poster & a signed copy of the dvd .
agreed . the tag line is completely studio - generated , and represents how they have decided to sell it . sono has no say in that .
directed by jeff tomsic , the tag script hails from mark steilen and rob mckitrrick and is loosely based on a true story of a group of friends who have been playing a hardcore game of tag for the last 30 years . the story was featured in a wall street journal article back in 2013 . titled tag brothers , the article detailed how 10 classmates from spokane , wa’s gonzaga preparatory school continued to play a game of tag 23 years after leaving the school . they played the game , going so far as to secretly enter one another’s homes and even scheduling their vacations around the game .
credited in the film as the producer , a ' tag , you ' re it ' t - shirt , a dvd signed by the entire cast and we buy you dinner . ( unfortunately , we cannot cover travel expenses ) .
this is a very , independent film production that will be . . . . .
all the aforementioned thanks & a 24x36 film poster , signed by the entire cast .

you don ' t say anything about the film . only bitch around the supposed misogyny .
tag has enjoyed a healthy run on the midnight festival circuit , but from the outset its sleazy tone is off - putting even by late - night horror standards .
reviewed at bifan film festival ( the masters ) , july 24 , 2015 . ( also in fantasia film festival . ) running time : 86 min . ( original title : “riaru onigokko” )

you sure you saw the same film i saw ? the film was quite hilarious . sion sono has made three of the greatest feminist films directed by a man in the last two decades ! ! guilty of romance , noriko ' s dinner table and tag highlight the misogyny in today ' s world and all three films have two smart and strong female leads kicking against this system . sure the film portray a anti - women stereotypes but that doers not mean the creator agrees with what is going on in this world .
* comes with reviews , personal thoughts on film and extra sauce all wrapped up in a sesame seed bun .
i agree that this film is super problematic , but vehemently disagree that the film presents men as anything but villains . i mean , their presentation is not as gross as the slobs that play society in neveldine / taylor ' s gamer , but they ' re clearly presented as pathetic morally repgunant and entitled puppet - masters , and meant to reflect the
male audience
that films like tag are made to be consumed by .
review : tag , you’re it ! now we have another sion sono film to review and that’s one out of six in 2015 alone ! only this time , he’s venturing into the genre of teen survival once again since suicide club and noriko’s dinner table . over the years since love exposure , sion sono has been accused of misogyny due to the many sexual references and portrayals of women in his films . and in 2015 , he doesn’t appear to stop restraining himself from doing so , which is quite evident in his other 2015 film , the virgin psychics . but in tag , he does something incredibly transcendent that makes this film so much more than expertly made exploitation that just goes to show that sono is one of the most daring filmmakers today .
after watching this film , i wondered if this is the movie that director zack snyder tried to make with sucker punch , since it shares the same agenda of vilifying female glorification in the media . but unlike sucker punch , the world of tag is much more haunting , immersive and downright gutsy in its execution . this is by far the best japanese film i’ve seen this year . a film about a girl’s journey for survival that consistently surprises , shocks , thrills , ridicules and provokes all at once all in a scant running time of 85 minutes .
wonderstruck is a film by todd haynes and you will certainly be struck by wonder , often . you will wonder at…
nothing blind here . i ' ve seen the film , along with the vast majority of sono ' s output .

tag will be produced by tod garner , mark steilen and sean robbins . look for it to hit theaters june 29 , 2018 . that’s the same date that sony pictures has slated to debut their barbie movie .
woah . you really read this film wrong . like most the commenters here , i perceived quite the opposite . perhaps you should go back and watch it again . personally , the fact that sono took a what was suppose to be the sixth film in the chasing world series , which is a series of successful run of the mill teen thrillers and turn it into a provocative art film is a triumph unto itself . i wish more directors when handed a typical sequel to direct , would turn into something more original and interesting like sono . ' i thought tag was brilliant .

that ' s when he brought up the film tag and the scenes he did with christopher mintz - plasse as his biggest challenges as an actor so far . now you have to keep this in perspective of course before snickering at it . this is coming from an
actor
that has had a career as a stuntman and most of his acting consists…
even by sono’s standards — 25 features and tv projects in the past 10 years — he’s been especially prolific in 2015 . “tag” follows “shinjuku swan” as his fourth release of the year , with “the virgin psychics” due next in september . situated closer to the extravagant excess of works such as the gang warfare musical “tokyo tribe” than the slow - burn psychodrama of his four - hour epic “love exposure , ” “tag” at least shares the latter film’s obsession with female underwear ; such is the frequency of shots showing exposed briefs that the movie could accurately be categorized as “j - upskirts horror . ”
this reading of sono ' s tag as a feminist tract is given credence as the film enters its final act , when all is revealed about the true nature of the three protagonists ' existence and how they could break out of this misogynistic vicious cycle . mischievously , sono has produced a satire aimed squarely at both fanboys and filmmakers of exploitative cinema , himself included .
now , what are the other things that we should consider important during the film that would help us support and understand these theories .
i think when verhoeven ' s on his game he ' s a great satirist . there ' s no satire in this film .
i just find it strange that anyone would positively identify with the
player
of tag . i suppose it would be the same people who walked out of fight club and felt motivated to start their own clubs and mra - leaning mayhem programmes . of course , that ' s a demo that is missing out on the true intention of the text , but also points towards why fc , like tag , is a problematic work , but not one worth writing off entirely .
i can accept the opinions of this film , as everyone should , since this is just an opinion . different strokes for different folks .
with , owed me a favor and agreed to help me film this wedding . thanks to his help , the video turned out great .
not one aspect of this review has changed my mind about this fantastic film . the reviewer ' s reaction to the film feels to me like the product of him being pussified by crybaby us media and on - line feminist attacks on anything even hinting at eroticism or female nudity .
our undying gratitude , special thanks on our facebook page & an 8x10 film poster which will be signed by a main cast or the director .
this film screening is presented in conjunction with the barnes foundation’s renoir : father and son / painting and cinema , a major exhibition . . .
in the beginning of the movie , hogan is a janitor and walks in backwards to bobs office , he takes the tray of pastries from the table and dumps them in his cart but after he tries to tag bob the tray is back on the table .
i went into this with low expectations . honestly , an entire film about adults playing the game of tag ? i was pleasantly surprised how funny this film was ! i haven ' t laughed this hard in a long time ! it is a fast paced comedy that wears its r rating proudly - it is rude , crude and funny ! ! this film is all about excellent acting , great direction and wonderful editing . the plot is paper thin but i was never bored . . don ' t let the plot dissuade you from seeing this . i actually laughed so hard i missed a lot of the jokes ! will probably buy this on bluray so i can catch up with what i missed . enjoy . 8 / 10
i swear he ' ll end up making a film in every genre if he hasn ' t already by the pace he ' s been going . .
documentary filmmaker jamie meltzer follows four advocates for those wrongfully convicted by dallas’ flawed justice system as they gather evidence to exonerate their defendants . urltoken is a home for the film’s trailer , allows visitors to sign up to receive email notifications about the film , and offers a booking - request tool for group screenings .
the gist of sono sion ' s tag is this . as a woman , you are a man ' s play thing . you exist solely for male pleasure . and if you don ' t like it , kill yourself . women cannot overcome any act of objectification by empowerment , only by a cowardly act of ultimate surrender . now it becomes really difficult to defend this film because honestly , how can you even begin to defend that worldview ?
hisohiso boshi
, a fukushima - nuclear - disaster - themed film . probably similar to the land of hope , but that ' s just my assumption .
you have no right to attack other people for their interpretation on the film when they clearly respect the film way more than you do . the simple fact that you refuse to look at it past the surface level says enough . you see this movie and just go :
oh , shiny ! !
all over it .
jon hamm ( mad men ) has just been cast in the upcoming tag film , according to deadline . he’ll join jeremy renner ( the hurt locker , captain america : civil war ) , ed helms ( the hangover , the office ) , jake johnson ( new girl , jurassic world ) , hannibal buress ( the eric andre show , the secret life of pets ) , rashida jones ( the office ) and annabelle wallis ( the mummy ) in the film directed by jeff tomsic ( this is not happening , i’m having a difficult time killing my parents ) . the script was written by mark steilen and rob mckitrrick .
the whole film is suffused with dream - like sadness and despair , which sion sono captures in wide shots of forests and snowy landscapes that are interspersed with the action .
in the complex and ever - changing film and tv industry , it is essential to have a pro - active travel management company on hand to deal with your requirements .
yes , i know i wasn ' t planning to write anything anymore on this blog . but this film caught my interest that i had to write my thoughts somewhere .
haha sorry for all that , it ' s the first sono film i ' ve ever seen , and frankly i loved it and already feel kinda defensive of it .
fresh from the misguided gangsta gung - ho of tokyo tribe or shinjuku swan , tag offers hope that sono remains the mad , bad boy he started out as , offering that curious mix of rage and romance that shaped the delicate psychological dramas of suicide club , noriko ' s dinner table or himizu .
and no any award . . . best film , best actress and special mention for its
creative , surprising and monumental opening kill sequence
! ! ! ; - )
i can ' t say for sure if sono ' s body of work is necessarily like this too , but i found ' ' tag ' ' fell pretty much in line with my theory . and if you wanna talk about disgusting rape fantasies , what would your thoughts be on the classic ichi the killer ?
as i wrote to you on another venue , sono ' s film foregrounds all of its problematic stuff so emphatically , that it becomes impossible to watch the film and not have a conversation about it . i think there ' s more value to that then the genre films that rehearse the tropes in the guise of a more benign and seemingly apolitical conceit .
well said . the discussion generated by the film in a very short time has generated so many interesting ideas , and i don ' t necessarily mean here . one well - written piece , for instance , authored by a female critic fas it were , did not note anything about feminism or systematic male oppression and yet also viewed the film very favorably .
the need for a well - defined screenplay is a prominent need in the film industry . a well - made film is one where all the different departments of filmmaking fuse together into a seamless whole . likewise , a well written script is one where all the elements of screenplay are fused together into an organic experience . ┬áin order to do [ … ]
the story behind the story tag has been with me for a long time . i wrote what was later to become ' tag , you ' re it ' as part of a horror anthology i was working on with a couple of friends . it was set in a restaurant that was quite famous around my hometown : ' the mon desir ' . the history of the building brought out a lot of curious folks . i had an excellent story that i am finally able to tell , the way it deserves to be told . time has changed it . i hope to get this story out there and share it with the world .
posssible spoiler , if you havent watched it , stop ! i just wanted to share how i understand the message of the film , if there is any . i am actually interested on other peoples opinion on how they see the film , and i do believe that i don ' t need to watch the previous films and the series in order to understand the message of the film . i ' m actually interested to read the original novel but i can ' t seem to find a copy available anywhere . so , without further adieu . . .
this is a very , independent film production that will be shot in southern oregon . please donate , so that we can weave this frightening story for your viewing pleasure . thank you .

the one element underlining all three characters ' existence is the unending need to run for survival . this premise is based on yusuke yamada ' s 2001 novel in which people sharing a similar surname are hunted down ( or
tagged
as in the children ' s game ) and killed . adaptations have already appeared in droves during the past decade — including a whopping five - film franchise entitled the chasing world — but tag offers a major departure by relocating most of the story to a world solely populated by women .
you know the saying ' two steps forward one step back ' ? for every ' one ' step forward that sono has taken this year , love & peace was a huge favorite at fantasia this year though i don ' t share nearly everyone ' s enthusiasm for it , he ' s taken ' two ' steps back with tag .
third release of a scheduled six - film slate for 2015 , and it will probably end up the most intriguing and innovative of the lot . alternating between scenes of visual splendor and relentless gore , sono ' s latest film — which revolves around young women trying to flee from a murderous paranormal presence and psychotic humans — is by turns absurd and affecting , bloody and beautiful , carnal and cerebral .
equal parts flash - trash exploitation gorefest and punchy pro - feminist action - fantasy , “tag” is another feather in the highly idiosyncratic cap of japanese helmer sion sono . this cavalcade of carnage set in a bizarre parallel world where women are chased and slaughtered by all manner of human and supernatural forces hits the sweet spot where grindhouse meets arthouse . [ … ]
with over two decades of experience , we understand the complexities involved with each stage of film and tv production – from development , production and media tours , to moving large groups of people and equipment .
derek jarman is one of those film makers . he’s a bit of an enfant terrible , especially in this , his first film . there are some deliberate nods to fellini’s cinematic style , and the whole italian art house oeuvre clearly had a strong influence on the direction this film took . it’s not got the same directorial voice and chaotic association - by - accident that jarman develops later in films like the last of england ( 1988 ) , and nor does he quite reach the levels of ultraviolence he plays with in jubilee ( 1977 – the film which really established jarman’s cinematic identity , and one of the few films i’ve actually had to stop watching half way through ) . of course , what most people reading will know sebastiane for is not the historic importance of jarman’s historic role in british cinema , but the porn .
so you take the the events of the film exactly as they happen , and assume that they quite literally translate into sono ' s worldview ? that ' s barely a step away from watching any movie and assuming that the views of some vile / evil character must represent the filmmaker ' s real life views , especially considering it ' s the men objectifying her who ' re ultimately the film ' s villains .
the age of consequences looks at climate change through the lens of resources scarcity , economic migration , us national security , and global stability . pf pictures asked me to build a wordpress site , a mirror site to that of the their previously released film , to deliver information about the film and featured interviews , to present the filmmakers’ goals , and to outline ways their audience can get involved and support the project .
it ' s not a mix made for the mainstream , and tag ' s release in japan on july 12 has failed to emulate the chart - topping success of sono ' s star - fueled but structurally conventional pimp - and - prostitute drama shinjuku swan in early june . just like the erstwhile enfant terrible ' s early work , the film will probably leave a more lasting mark away from home : its screenings at fantasy - genre festivals in bucheon and montreal should be the start of a run of bookings for midnight - screening sections in asia or asian - themed festivals .
dear whoever it was that brought this movie back to this website ' s database after someone ( or something ? ? ? ) replaced its page by the one for the movie tag by sion sono , making it stay that way for months , with this movie nowhere to be found here : thank you . thank you , thank you , thank you so very much .
even i think it is overall a lesser sono and was surprised to see it get so much love in the awards categories . that being said i think its super fruitful that the film has inspired such discussion .
film ' s box office & user reviews are suffering here , unfortunately . maybe fantasia prizes will give it a boost . the older
chasing world
films offered ok small scale sci - fi action , directed by salaryman issei shibata at geneon - u ( he didn ' t work in film dept . originally ) . not sure why sono couldn ' t have grafted his worldview onto the reasonably solid gensaku . . .
this film is also an obvious attack on misogyny , like his previous films noriko ' s dinner table and guilty of romance . let me state the obvious , once again . because a film has a rape scene does not mean it condones rape ! if you believe that , then i guess that makes all war movies pro - war ? ! ? ! ? sometimes you have to show the villain to out them ! !
if intended as satire , tag is hamstrung by sono ' s own well developed tendencies towards fetishizing women . this feels more along the lines of an apologetic than a criticism , with everything leading up to the revelation at the end of tag aimed at the pleasure centers of creepy dudes . it has loads of stylish violence , all of it against women . there are a ludicrous number of up - skirt shots in the first act and a church full of underwear laden beauties in the second , all of it culminating in references to gaming in the third act , which , in the past year and a half alone , is an industry that has had its image tarnished by a few meatheads , or , has been exposed for its overall poor attitude towards women .
the actress will team with ed helms , jeremy renner , jake johnson , hannibal buress , jon hamm , annabelle wallis and rashida jones for the film , which is set to begin shooting later this month in atlanta .
there are very clear , precise and explicit answers to every one of those questions within the film itself . and there is no possible way you can pitch those answers as pro - woman in any sense and i see nothing within the film itself that suggests sono is presenting this worldview with any degree of criticism at all . it ' s not satire or criticism , he ' s rolling around in it and enjoying himself while doing so .
to return to verhoeven ( which i really hesitate doing , because i don ' t mean to imply that sono ' s satire is as at all as elegant ) , starship troopers ends with a textual endorsement of a functional fascist regime that will continue to perpetuate itself ; none of the characters in the film recognize the culture they ' ve become complicit too . and yet it would be naive to call the film simply pro - fascist .
you are very annoying and i feel like someone needs to tell you . if you love this film so much , get down from your high horse and defend it with a proper analysis instead of trowing all the awards that it won at people . give some real arguments or kindly leave .
it won tons of awards
is not an argument . and honestly i think cinema is not your thing . and you are the one that doesn ' t know jack because you are clearly incapable of analyzing a film past the
omg it ' s so cool and it won so many awards
are you sure you even know what the film even means ?
although i’ve read a lot and spoken a little bit about this film , i’ve never actually sat down and watched it . so last week , i finally made the time ( across two evenings – they don’t make films with that epic spread any more ) . it turned out to be a surprisingly appropriate film for lent , because of the significant role played by the early christian church in the narrative ; it also finally made the chariot race in a funny thing happened on the way to the forum make sense ! but i now have a better understanding of why quo vadis has remained one of the touchstones for classical reception in film , besides its comparatively early production date .
not the most well formed point on my part , but what i ' m getting at is studio ' s probable lack of interest in subtext of films , and a tendency in the case of other japanese films for marketing to be misleading . basically , i don ' t think it ' s fair to say the tag line on that poster represents sono ' s point of view at all .
we hope you enjoy this feature length film that highlights rachael + justin’s gorgeous september wedding at the farm at eagles ridge . we wish you all a happy and healthy new year and look forward to what’s to come in 2018 !
equal parts flash - trash exploitation gorefest and punchy pro - feminist action - fantasy , “tag” is another feather in the highly idiosyncratic cap of japanese helmer sion sono . this cavalcade of carnage set in a bizarre parallel world where women are chased and slaughtered by all manner of human and supernatural forces hits the sweet spot where grindhouse meets arthouse . far too extreme for mainstream acceptance , the pic failed to make much of an impression on its july 11 local release , but the outlook is brighter elsewhere . recent appearances at bifan and fantasia should be just the start of a lengthy fest run that will in turn boost the film’s smallscreen sales fortunes .
let me state the obvious , once again . because a film has a rape scene does not mean it condones rape ! if you believe that , then i guess that makes all war movies pro - war ? ! ? ! ?
but i do have to say i completely disagree with todd ' s point about
that being all there is
. i mean , the only male during the first 60 minutes is literally a grotesque pig . the other males in the film are ' wankers in the alley ' and pervert ( s ) at the end . if the film was ( only ) trying to make a chauvinistic statement , wouldn ' t it try to make men look good rather than pathetic ?
, so all the smooth flying shots are mine in the video . chad of cinema candy edited the video in record time and we showed it on tvs to everyone at the reception . you can download this wedding film at my blog ,
while the other films tend toward conventional political allegories similar to the purge , tag ' s narrative could be interpreted as a story of gender - based social oppression as seen by a woman undergoing rituals of adolescence and adulthood . the violent interventions break up long scenes of solidarity in a world without men , the sense of optimism and freedom vividly captured by drone filming and cinematic post - rock numbers from the japanese band mono .
with production on the new line comedy set to begin in atlanta later this month , the hollywood reporter today brings word that isla fisher ( nocturnal animals , now you see me ) is joining the tag cast . she joins an ensemble that includes jeremy renner , ed helms , jake johnson , hannibal buress , rashida jones and annabelle wallis , as well as fisher’s own recent keeping up with the joneses co - star , jon hamm .
tag is certainly not matinee fare for the faint - hearted . even for those who have seen sono ' s previous notorious gore - fests like strange circus or the kill bill - aping why don ' t you play in hell ? , the film ' s first part will still come as a visceral shock , as a mysterious wind arrives out of nowhere to abruptly ( and literally ) strike two coach loads of schoolgirls down on a country road . the only survivor of this calamity is mitsuko ( austrian - japanese actor reina triendl ) , who dodges the murderous airstream and flees to a town where , somehow , students she doesn ' t know acknowledge her as a longtime friend and classmate .
my friend michael elliott likes j . j . abrams , lens flares , and his wife sarah . aptly so , when he asked me to film his wedding , i did him the honor of including j . j . abrams influenced lens flares for effect .
structure films tasked me with building a small landing page for their project in development . that page has since grown a bit into the bill nye film home and our work together spilled into a kickstarter campaign , complete with gifs , infographics , and rewards designs .
high levels of upskirt photography and grisly dismemberment notwithstanding , it’s perfectly legitimate to read “tag” as a girl - power “alice in wonderland” variant in which three versions of japanese womanhood find the means to kick against a male - controlled system that would seek to assign them positions of subservience and / or victimhood . though action and excitement are clearly sono’s primary concerns , viewers searching for deeper meaning to all this mayhem will certainly find plenty to think about along the way .
have you seen the film ? the women in it - literally every single one of them - literally exist purely as male playthings . literally . it is the only reason they exist . and their only recourse , assuming they don ' t like this , is to kill themselves . literally . that ' s not prejudice , that ' s the actual , factual basis of the film . it ' s the core premise . there ' s nothing else to discuss in it , because that ' s literally all there is .
taking only the bare bones of its story from the book that inspired it , this film is as much a comment on cinema - and on other forms of contemporary art - as it is an experience in its own right , but it is no less gripping for that .
a couple of things about the film surprised me . although i’d been prepared for it , the way peter ustinov played nero for laughs but then moved the character into a darker and more dangerous place came as a shock . the clowning buffoonish character was sustained throughout the film , ending with a surprisingly heightened emotional scene when nero had to rely on his spurned lover acte to help him commit suicide before the mob who have broken into the palace find him . there are moments that are funny despite themselves – “tigellinus ! my robe of grief , ” nero utters as he is about to begin his musical performance over burning rome , which he has had torched so he can sing convincingly about the fall of troy . the film clearly aims to show how the spoilt and indulged emperor is abusing his authority , and thus why his fall is justified , but the pantomime aspects sit at odd with the portentous voiceover at the start of the film which labels nero the antichrist . ( i know that label forms part of the historical record and that christian texts identify nero in this way , but i wasn’t expecting to hear it in a 1950s introduction . )
congratulations to annette + matthew ! these two are the kind of people you want to hang out with . they’re silly and playful with the perfect blend of serious and sentimental . we’re honored to have been apart of their wedding day and to have captured their gorgeous philly wedding on film !
congratulations to kristen + brendan ! this stylish new york couple came to lancaster to tie the knot last november , and we had the pleasure of capturing their day on film ! our favorite moment of the day ? the mother of the bride’s reaction when she saw her daughter for the first time .
as for the social commentary , i was amused by it . you could probably compare much of it to the anti - violence message in death wish 3 or the anti - war message in rambo . the film certainly has its fun with schoolgirls , but then again , half of japanese film , music , adult and sex industry is built on the schoolgirl phenomena . in my opinion anything as outrageously over - the - top as this can only be seen as half - parody , and should be far less offending than the understated sexism that might be found elsewhere . but obviously not everyone agrees .
you ' re taking half of my sentence out of context there with the ' ' sure there ' s misogyny
thing . i never said ' ' oh it ' s only as little , no biggie ! ' ' , i ' m saying that there are miiiillions of films that have misogynistic characters ( whom i repeat are suppose to be the bad guys ) but that hardly means a film or filmmaker ' s ideas reflect that . that ' s my main point , which no one is addressing , you guys are taking a literal plot description and touting it as the film ' s message . i ' m pretty sure that ' s not general how you interpret art , and that ' s especially true of surrealism . i see characters who are misogynists ( but for the trillionth time , they are the bad guys ! ) , but i don ' t see sono making any misogynistic film making decisions .
entitled puppet masters , yes , and very effective ones . but morally repugnant ? to who ? i ' d say not to anyone within the world of the film at all . i ' d say that ' s baggage you ' re bringing to it because you ' re a decent human being . but i don ' t see that anywhere within the film itself . closest thing i ' d say to that is the groom being a pig , but i take that more as a power play against the woman - let ' s see what horrible thing we can force her to do - than any sort of comment on the players .
this film forms a group of ‘recent films on roman britain’ , the others being king arthur ( 2004 ) , the last legion ( 2007 ) and the eagle ( 2011 ) . there are some interesting resonances starting to develop between these films , but each of them uses the roman frame to do something rather different as well .

one form of wedding video that is gaining popularity is the same day edit , where the wedding preparations and ceremony are filmed , and a short highlight film is immediately edited and shown at the wedding reception to the guests . this is what we accomplished and what you have just viewed ( or are about to view ) , here .
as far as the film suggesting suicide as a way out for the young women of the film as opposed to being empowered , i think this the film may be presenting a cynical and even bleak point of view , but that ' s a way to get at and try to effect a change in people ' s conscious . suicide in my opinion shouldn ' t be encouraged or made to seem cool , but in a lot of art , it does represent a form of rebellion in extremely dire situations . to present a vision where the female protagonists here can just kick ass and fight the power seems overly simplistic and even a bit naive , considering how deeply rooted misogyny is in many aspects of japanese culture . it would probably be a lot more forgettable too . the review seems genuinely disgusted with this sort of world , and i think that ' s what sono wants you and i to feel about it . if that includes roads he ' s gone in the past , then that shows the possibility of his own maturation .
structure films approached me to design their visual identity and home webspace . jason and david were interested in using a model of electromagnetism as the basis of their logo to reinforce their science - in - film mission . we put together a dynamic , wordpress site that uses video , full width elements , and tall , scrolling pages to engage the visitor .
i realize that the synopsis that i wrote is incredibly ambiguous but i sincerely do not want to provide any spoilers since the film should be best experienced without any prior knowledge . i also loved the fact that the theatrical trailer does not spoil any of the film’s events . having said that , the story is simply outlandish . although it is based on a manga , sion sono apparently has never read the source material and only used the premise as a entry point to his own creation . and boy , was it a creation . the film is essentially a chase movie not much unlike mad max : fury road and it could’ve easily be seen as an exercise in gory exploitation no different than a grindhouse film , but sono adds themes and elements that vilify the idea of female glorification . and this is a surprise considering that sono is very guilty of the glorifying himself . everything from the japanese schoolgirl culture ( or jk , as it is referred to in japan ) to video games to films , sono takes them down and tears them a new one in funny and thought - provoking ways . funnily enough , there is no male actor in sight until the third act , but even then , the only male actor that is seen before then , his face is covered with something , for a lack of a better word , bovine . all of the seemingly random events coalesce into an ending that borders out of this world .
but isn ' t the perpetuation of that culture the horror he ' s getting at with the end of the movie ? perhaps you ' re right , and its merely the baggage i am bringing , but yeah i really didn ' t see the film as an endorsement of that culture in its final minutes , rather a cynical and jaded reflection of it .
