Moon Child:
It has a great overall storyline, but the movie is not well executed. Gackt does a good enough job as boisterous, teenage Sho (even though he looks older than a teenager by far) as well as the mature but still loving to pose gangster Sho, and Hyde, though also not a real actor, does an incredible job of portraying the world-weariness that defines Kei's character. The characters are written beautifully, the friendships are portrayed wonderful, but in the end the movie wants too much. There are too many jumps in time, too much is left out. The friendship between Sho and Kei is one of the most beautiful and tragic relationships of any sort I have ever seen onscreen. I value the movie highly for that. If you can look beyond the things the movie shows you and think about the story underlying it all, it's wonderfully bittersweet. I think I love the movie mostly for the things it failed to show - but suffice to say I have spent a lot of time delving into the depth of the characters, and Kei is a character that fascinates me to no end.

I think here people really failed to see the acting job Hyde has done, which is largely the movie's fault to begin with. We see a very stiff, very apathetic Hyde/Adam here, which leads many to conclude that Hyde did a bad acting job. If you look at the scenes in which he portrays living!Adam though, you see a difference to his portrayal of dead!Adam. The living Adam was more open and actually just put on a facade of being cool and aloof, with an open person lingering underneath. That open person died when Adam took his own life. A very tragic, visually beautiful movie. I felt deeply sorry for Adam, not just because Hyde portrayed him. The ending broke my heart, especially because Mizuki actually doomed Adam to more loneliness in favour of an absolute jerk... It's a haunting movie, though far from groundbreaking. The movie has its lengths, unfortunately, and it severely suffers from not enough Adam/Mizuki interaction to make their connection really palpable. Overall a very nice movie, though.
