Japan Sinks!
Titolo originale: Nihon Chinbotsu
Country: Japan
Year: 2006
Director: Shinji Higuchi
Based on a novel-disaster of 1973 (written by Sakyo Komatsu ) and remake of the movie filmed that same year Shiro Moritani, Japan Sinks is the "Day After Tomorrow" version in Japan.
sliding plate which supports Japan in the Pacific plate leads to the inexorable sinking of the Japanese archipelago, with a side of tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes and so forth. The film develops two parallel storylines that intersect only at the end: on the one hand we have a group of scholars who fight against time to find a solution to the disaster while the government tries to salvage, the other a girl member of a team of trained emergency response that does everything to preserve the happiness of his family and anyone who happens to shoot.
Obviously there will be a meeting between the scholars and the girl and of course the question will be their love story to lighten (or sink at all, while we're on the subject) the dramatic story. Significant
few sentences and situations that reveal the huge gap that runs between the absurd and unshakable optimism made in the USA (not even the ice and killer typhoons apocalyptic fail to halt the advance of Dennis Quaid in the film by Roland Emmerich) and the equally absurd and inevitable patriottism-pessimism of a Japanese Prime Minister who is in that "doing nothing and die together to their country" the only possible solution (but then not actually implemented, otherwise the movie would last 30 minutes ). Emblematic the situation that sees the final country of the Rising Sun left alone to himself and been abandoned by friends, casual reference for logistic or ill-concealed cosmic pessimism prevailing insecurity in the gajin (strangers)?
Despite the many discrepancies and the absurdity of many scenes are spectacular and (as people cooked Zotto jets invincible at every stage, but actors and always well groomed, just to name a ...), Japan Sinks is a very good disaster movie style special effects that are highly respected and very strong visual impact.
funny and touching at the same time. Council comfortable chair and popcorn, given the length (more than two hours).
Rating: 6.5
