Magical love masterpiece by kwak jae young
Korean director with all Japanese cast.
Kaze no Iro is about a man,Ryo, who suddenly lost his girlfriend, Yuri. They spent time taking each others' photos before she suddenly disappeared. Later on, he finds out that she was already dead.
Once, Yuri told him something fascinating. In Hokkaido, there is someone resembles her, but her doppelganger possesses traits which she doesn't have. The girl she mentioned is jovial, prettier and smarter than her.
Ryo makes his way to Hokkaido and performs some magic stunts in public which caught Yuri's doppelganger (later known as Aya) attention.
On the other hand, Aya watches Ryo in complete bewilderment as he bear a resemblance to her beau who vanished into the sea while performing a life-threatening magic trick. Ryo and Aya get to know each other and fall in love.
plot twist. Ryo learns that Yuri is not dead but instead, as good as dead. She "committed suicide" and let Aya lives (no wonder they got no funeral..lol). Same occasion for Ryo, whom his other self, Ryu, vanished. Ryu's reason of dying is somewhat excruciating and heart-rendering. He conscious of Ryo's existence and wished he will love Aya. The couple soon revealed to suffer from Dissociative Identity Disorder.
Nearing climax of the movie, Ryo along with Aya, creates another personality (Leon and Mathilda) before performing the menacing magic trick Ryu had done. Ryo succeed the magic performance.
Albeit the couple lost their other selves, they still end up with each other. No matter with what name they call themselves, what personality they potray, they are made for each other.
What makes me fond of this movie? 1) mini crush on Furukawa Yuki 2) Captivating cinematography. 3) i have soft spot for winter. 4)excellent string of plot twist
Bittersweet Romance with Depth
This was a movie that started off like a normal and basic Japanese movie, but it then turned itself around and created this sort of atmosphere that just pulled you in. It got better and better as I watched it. The acting was good, but the story and script is what really made me love this film. The words they spoke were beautiful and had underlinings of so much emotion and depth, it's easy to tell that the writers are really wise and intelligent people. The chemistry between the leads doesn't jump out at you or anything, but there is obviously some deep feelings between the two. I could feel their emotions well, more so during the last half of the movie. The cinematography was also amazing, it showed the city and parts of nature in gorgeous angles. I recommend this movie for anyone that likes a deeper story line that extremely original and breathtaking.
