short story ocean view villas
Unimportant, slow-moving stories told tenderly through an appreciative lens. Often seen in those film-filtered Japanese movies that seems perpetually stuck at the height of some season, summer and spring at its greenest, fall at its reddest and winter at its whitest. With such passage of time acting as the only dynamic visual setting, the characters reckon the breaks and bends in the hero's journey often without leaving their neighborhood or outwardly breaking a sweat. It is basically like being a teenager in the suburbs, if there is turmoil, it is drowned out by the loud static of the environment, the shadow of the tree gently swaying on the pavement, ladies with groceries moving slowly across the road, kids sitting in front of stationary stores with an ice lolly and lightly tapping their feet together. Lines are delivered nonchalantly, totally void of that Al Pacino intensity. The character goes through little change from the beginning and at the end of the movie, but they feel slightly more resilient, little less bored and a little more tender towards their beautiful mundanity.
