LIFE

guess it's time for me to move on.
in life.




been watching the drama LIFE. a short 11 episode drama.
and it's really super nice. one of the drama, that had captivated me from the start, thou i didn't watch it immediately, but it's theme and setting caught my attention.

LIFE is a drama featuring about the dark side of an ordinary japanese school life, where one walks on the strings of risk. How friends betray gossip and eventually how it all leads into bullying. Bullying is indeed and silent scream, which adults even like parents would never know. teachers who just teach for the sake of teaching didn't care.

but this drama, i didn't love it at first. no babes, pace was slow, things was all over the pace. however after awhile, the poison sets in. the plot kicks in and i couldn't help but be instantaneously captivated by the beauty of the drama. i went head on and tackled 6 episodes and only surrender to my bed when dawn hits, and of cos i continued the drama the instant i'm up. & that's a mother fucking record.
i downloaded it initially as it's adapted from a manga, so... that was really unexpected.
never the less Tanimura Masaki did magic.
i can't help it but felt impressed by how much they make use of music, their set of music, is genius.

(i dled it, for the first time, i dl a pack of 20 instrumental music)

but for the first time, i really did experienced the true importance of the music and sounds in the drama. it's instant cuts are so lovable, and it's rumbling bass really builds up the atmosphere perfectly.
& how could i find fault with it's amatuer-like but flawless cinematography? Yes it's shaking at times, but wacky enough to make this an unique drama.
