The major film critics who entered the theater all noticed a phenomenon.

That is: most of the people in the audience are young people, and the ratio of men to women is about 7:3.

In the entire theater, the conversation of warblers and swallows kept sounding.

It can be seen that Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN have a huge influence among young people.

However, such a scene made many film critics scoff.

Judging from the group of moviegoers, you can know that the film directed by Kiyoshi Sakamoto for the first time is aimed at young people.

In their opinion, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is just using his popularity in the music scene to attract fans to watch this movie...

In other words, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is just consuming his fans, but he is just turning the goods he consumes from music into movies.

This made film critics feel that Kiyoshi Sakamoto's purpose in making this movie was just to take the opportunity to make a fortune and empty the pockets of fans.

Such a misunderstanding has made many film critics sure in their hearts: This movie must be very shoddy!

After all, this is a movie supervised by a 20-year-old rookie.

Film critics' opinions on "Those Years", Kiyoshi Sakamoto knows a little.

But, even if he knew, he didn't care at all.

A film critic's review is just an adjunct to the value of a film.

There is not much difference between there and no.

A film review that is praised will of course improve the reputation of the movie, so as to achieve the effect of attracting the audience;

However, if there are good reviews, there will naturally be bad reviews.

The power of bad reviews is a very powerful influence in this Japanese society, where people are cloudy and the herd mentality is very serious.

Seeing the comments that the film critics devalue the movie to worthless, to a large extent, will affect the audience's choice.

Unless the movie is really bad to a new level, like the bad movie "Room", it may make people curious, "How bad is this movie?!"

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's "Those Years" does not belong to the ranks of bad movies.

。。。

"So, next, please enjoy the movie quietly. ”

In anticipation, the main creative team finally ended their interaction with the host and walked off the stage.

The lights of the theater dimmed all of a sudden.

The movie has officially begun!

Everyone present, film critics, ordinary audiences, and invited artists, cheered up and prepared to welcome this film, which has attracted much attention since the beginning of filming.

At the beginning of the movie, it was the logo of the production company.

In addition to the familiar logo of the distribution company Toho, there are also the logos of TV Asahi and SME, which bear the names of the producers.

At the beginning of the film, what appeared in front of the audience was not the actor, but an apple.

The camera slowly begins to move, with graffiti notes, school uniforms printed with blue dots, and men tying ties in front of the mirror.

"This is?" When the audience was speculating whether this man was the male protagonist played by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the man's identity was immediately revealed.

The man who is seriously polishing his shoes is none other than Kiyoshi Sakamoto!

With a fluffy curly hair, the male protagonist played by Kiyoshi Sakamoto is neatly dressed and seems to be going on a very important date.

At this time, there was a slightly hurried footstep sound in the picture.

Two figures, one fat and one thin, appear in the picture.

"Hurry up, it's a big day!"

"Do you want the bride to wait for you alone?!"

From the words of the two, the audience guessed a message: the male protagonist is the groom and is ready to attend his wedding!

Even Takeshi Kitano, who was sitting in the back row and watching the movie intently, thought so...

In fact, this information is the first thing that comes to mind for everyone who watches "Those Years" for the first time when they see this paragraph.

But, unfortunately, these people guessed wrong!

It wasn't until they saw the end that the audience suddenly realized and said "I see!" with a clear face.

With Kiyoshi Sakamoto's evil smile, the camera suddenly turned, and a man wearing headphones, listening to a song, and riding a bicycle appeared.

That's Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

On the screen, a few words appeared: "2000, Yokohama." ”

Kiyoshi Sakamoto's magnetic voice, which acts as a background narration, sounded at the right time.

"In 2000, when I was 16 years old, in the Japanese music scene, the duel between "TSUNAMI" and "Sakurazaka" made people talk about it; Good Morning Girl became the idol of all men in Asia with the song "Love のダンスサイト"; Keizo Obuchi fell ill due to cerebral obstruction, and the "Mortal Prime Minister" withdrew from the stage of history; Microsoft released the indos 2000 system... ”

"That year, those years ... ”

The story of "Those Years" is told from the words of Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

"Is it a self-prosecution beginning? Looking at the first thirty minutes of the movie, Takeshi Kitano also lowered his head and thought about it, and made a preliminary evaluation.

"He's smart and doesn't do more than he can do. It's just that the movie is a bit too flat. ”

That's right, the story of "Those Years" is an ordinary love story that happened on campus.

Many trivial things are the main elements that make up campus youth.

Among them, keywords such as exams, love, and friendship are included.

In the first half of the movie, it is basically the whole process of "Kosuke Mizushima" played by Kiyoshi Sakamoto being stimulated by "True Love Morningase" played by Reina Neng, from a bad student who doesn't like to study to a good student who loves to learn.

However, except for the celebrity artists, the reaction of ordinary audiences is not very calm.

Because, all kinds of scenes in the film are very close to reality.

In reality, what will happen in reality.

Most of the young audiences present are at an age when they have not been leaving school for a long time and are very nostalgic for campus life, and they also resonate with these former youthful beauty.

Judging from the fact that the audience laughed out loud from time to time because of the stalks and funny clips in the film, you can know that this movie is very much to their liking.

For a good-looking movie, naturally the audience will follow the plot in the movie and express their joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

If the movie is not good, the audience is sometimes reluctant to give even a little reaction.

The audience's reaction is undoubtedly the most authentic feedback on a movie.

It can be seen that the first half of the movie "Those Years" has been recognized by the audience in this regard.

This surprised the professional Takeshi Kitano, as well as many film critics.

The bland plot in their eyes turned into a knowing smile for young audiences.

"Could it be that this is the reason why he chose to make a youth campus film?"
