Subarashiki sekai

I would rate it 3.5 and I rounded down. The main actor is great in his role, but the story is not only basic, nearly every scene is less a flowing part of the story, and more a blunt storytelling block. This in part is the reason why the forced melodrama doesn't work, and you don't feel any emotions in the dramatic scenes, because it's so blandly and sparsely built up. It's unfortunate that the scenes end up as building blocks to the ridiculously overdone finale. If they remade it with a competent writer/director, this would be a great film, because the cast/scenery/cinematography/music is fine, it's that the story is both not good, and to compound it, the way that is told is also not good.
