Movie essay

My favorite movie is 冷静と情熱のあいだ(れいせいとじょうねつのあいだ) in Japanese and “Calmi Cuori Appassionati” is the Italian title. “Calmi Cuori Appassionati” was published in 1999 and written by Ekuni Kaori and Tsuji Hitonari. It’s a Japanese movie which is the original love story. Calmi Cuori Appassionati’s director is Nakae Isamu. Both writers are famous in Japan, I think. I know Ekuni’s work which is about twenties young man and forties woman’s love. The title is “Tokyo tower”. Ekuni Kaori run the story first in a magazine and next Tsuji Hitonari run continance of the story. They finished writing the novel as alternation serialization. Ekuni wrote Aoi’s eyes and Tsuji wrote Junsei’s eyes. After the serialization, on one hand Ekuni’s part named “Rosso” and red binding, on the other hand Tsuji’s part named “Blu” and blue binding then it was released in a set. This novel became a best seller over 500 thousands copies. Afterwards it became a million seller. This movie released in 2001 and next year the movie’s hero Takenouchi Yutaka received a prize of excellent leading actor in Japanese Academy. Tsuda Toyoshi also received a prize of excellent filming in Japanese Academy. This movie was shot in Japan, Milan and Florence, Italy. This story’s main characters are Junsei and Aoi. Takenouchi Yutaka fills the role of Junsei and Kelly Chan fills the role of Aoi. Junsei is a young man who is an apprenticeship of renovator in Florence, Italy. Aoi grew up in Milan, Italy and she met Junsei in Japanese university. They once spent same time and devoted to each other but separate time have passed many years between Junsei and Aoi. They each grew up new love but they had a memory which was never lingered. They promised to see again at Duomo in Florence when they become 30 years old. It links a long lost contact for them. I love this story because it matches wonderfully with music. Its theme tune is sung by Enya who is a famous singer all over the world and she is loved by many people. The tune’s title is “Wild child”. I’m sure that we heard the song once. I also like the story’s soundtrack music. The story’s music producer is Yoshimata Ryo whose masterpiece is “Atsuhime” lately. I love the soundtrack music which I rented the sound track music at TSUTAYA. I also got the score. The soundtrack is composed by stringed instruments, for example, violin, cello and so on. My favorite scene is when they used to be university students. They used to hang around at the university’s courtyard. There, a cello player practiced a piece and he always played the same piece and always got stuck at the same point. They used to giggle at his squeaky efforts. The cello player was playing when they went hand in hand and kissed for the first time. After many years, Aoi saw an orchestral concert in Florence. There is a cello player so Aoi makes request for the memorable piece. In fact, the cello player used to be the cello player when Junsei and Aoi listened to his practice. What a coincidence! But of course I know it’s a fiction. This movie can’t talk without music.
