Review of Arion (1986) by Pua W — 25 Jul 2014
The movie isn't bad. but it isn't that good either. yasuhiko clearly doesn't know much on Greek mythology. and I disagree much of yasuhiko's adaptation on it. surely changes has to be made when it comes to making a film.
like books, legends, mythologies etc. you know the drill. and we, the audience, who so much happen to adore these stories, which is typically in the form of books would hands down be disappointed in them.
but it doesn't apply to every case though. this film was quite a disappointment for me. because it felt as if the director had the wrong idea of how Greek mythology is. and Greek mythology so happens to be my favourite.
but I still gave this film a 3-star rating because the plot was nicely paced and the film didn't bore me at all. just that I didn't liked the way yasuhiko-san portrayed the Greek deities at all.
but he did portrayed them in terms of appearance well. you guys could give a film a go. but just to let you know this film should be rated PG13 because it does have quite a number of explicit parts so yeahhhhhhhh.
You guys could watch it here on YouTube in its original Japanese audio with English subtitles by fans "Arion - 1986 Movie - Subtitled".
