a very good minimal film Jan 16 2018 12:04 am A good minimal film.

I have to laugh but touching deeply to my mind.

ohimesama Feb 18 2015 9:14 pm I love all the members of SMAP, I love to see their movies, dramas and their crazy variety shows SMAP x SMAP. Goro-san is a quite person, he is calm and looks so mature. He was like that too in this movie but somehow still made me laugh.

ester grace Feb 07 2015 9:19 pm YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS!!! It's really a genius and brilliant movie, very unique, makes your brain thinking so hard but it's still funny and entertaining in a smart way. There are two types of comedies : first is the one that tries to throw 100 jokes against the wall and hopes that at least 50 of them stick.You know the ones where the best jokes are in the trailer and the movie feels like its wasting time in between jokes. You're satisfied if it can makes you laugh out loud at least 5 times and that's all you remember of the movie. The second is where the plot itself is the joke and the movie is not concerned with manufacturing 1 laugh every five minutes. It is concerned with executing the plot well. One such movie that comes to mind is Bowfinger which is about a bunch of misfits trying to make a movie starring a movie star without him realising that he is in it. Warai no daigaku is another such a movie where the plot is a stage comedy writer Tsubaski (Inagaki Goro) trying to get his script approved by the stern and unsmiling government censor Sakisaka (Yakusho Koji) I did not laugh out loud once during the movie but I was smiling all the way through because it was just that funny. The joke is the censor Sakisaka who keeps heaping unreasonable requests on Tsubaki and everytime Tsubaki makes the changes, somehow the script turns out even funnier than before. Warai no Daigaku just comedy from the banter between the Sakisaka and Tsubaki and the ways Tsubaki turns the requests into more gags for the script. It is a movie where the characters become real. After all, it is basically a movie about two men in a room with a script and it actually started out as a play. Plus there is of course the political subtextabout government censorship. Inagaki Goro actually does a good job as Tsubaki. Everytime I've seen him in doramas, he is always so wooden and in Warai no daigaku he looks like a real actor. Yakusho Koji is his usual awesome self. The duo make Warai no daigaku very, very good. Warai no daigaku made me smile throughout the movie made me feel for the characters and appreciate how polished the script was. If you've seen Kisaragi, its very similar where despite the fact the whole movie is set in one room, you are hanging on every word. #hamsapsukebe.blogspot.com#
