Fictitious OL Diary

Totally weird movie. Still scratching my head after watching this. From the main character to the humor. It's hard to catch the funny scenes to be honest. Anyhow, people who understand women and Japanese sense of humor might find the movie great.

My guess, the purpose after all, is to put the viewer in the shoes of an office lady and be part of the women group. Live what they live everyday.

The movie was not bad and was not great. Therefore 4 or 5 stars just like the movie is about.

First I thought this was another one of those weird Japanese things where they put a cross dressing pervert as the main character and it's totally normal and not even commented on. Turns out it's the writer himself, who is a comedian and he is playing the female lead role himself. The movie is about subtle humor found in the mundaneness of daily life of office workers. Maybe you need to be Japanese to fully grasp it, or be a fan of his previous comedy, but to me it was horribly dull and boring. Here and there you catch a hint of the humor, or at least recognize why a situation is meant to be funny conceptually, but it rarely really is.

This movie is about an everyday female office worker and her colleagues at the office. The interesting twist is that the main character is played by a male actor. This is a study of female colleagues seen from a male perspective. The movie is a fresh and interesting perspective on everyday life of female colleagues.

Have you ever wanted to know what the extras are talking about when the main characters are discussing their fate and the world? If your answer is yes, then this is the right movie for you.

The entire plot and content of this movie's conversation is very trivial. Don't be surprised if many feel awkward and unrealistic, because this is a POV of a 44 year old man imagining himself as a woman in her 20s. If you have a lot of free time during the pandemic, then watch this film.

The writer himself act as main character in this movie. Previously TV series; previously a book and previously a blog...well; seems a long climbing to the top but I do not see why and how he succeeded; you know, the plot is just nothing at all; and may be that is where (and why) the charm may rely. You can find trivialities of daily routines and chat about minimum insignificant things in the (supposed) Life of Bank s clerk Women. A so predictable and lackluster Life in one of the best cities like Tokyo that let me wondering here. They have the time to put a bit more emphasis but they do not want; they have the potential to understand a bit more about what s really going on around; see a bit outside their small and mundane micro World, etc but nothing of that is going on. They love banalities...and with a smidgen of naif malice.

I think that also shows a big problem in our societies no matter in which places are located; I mean; disinterest and a bit of apathy (in places that have potential and many things to do like Tokyo) that the politicians know and take advantage. Virus anyone?
