Review of The Great Passage (2013) by Arum Padma O — 01 Sep 2015
A nerdy guy who has no communication skill then falls in love, sounds really cliche, doesn't it. But a nerdy guy who makes dictionary? how many times you watch films about dictionary making. I think that's the real heart of this story, dedication of Majime; how someone who has hard time expressing himself finds peace in world of words and life purpose in it.
I also like how it's not about "nerd make over" story, Majime's social skill improved, but he still somehow socially inept (isn't Ryuhei Matsuda really cute). And there are a lot of close up shots of Ryuhei's hands I LOVE THIS FILM.
