Thermae Romae

A bath architect from ancient Rome keeps drowning and appearing in baths in modern Japan, get back to his own time and recreates the baths of the modern world in the best ways he can. The film is as crazy as it sounds from the plot and manages to be hilarious throughout. I didn't mind the minor problems it had in terms of the production. White actors speaking in English being dubbed over, while Japanese actors cast as Romans speaking Japanese looked weird and there were some special effects that were a bit tacky but it all went with the tone of the film. The recreation of ancient Rome itself has been done pretty well. The concept of innovation and the morale of the public psyche being connected to baths is not something you associate all the time but it does make sense. I love these types of crazy storylines.

I felt the humor of the original comic was depicted in the movie faithfully! A ancient Roman architect named Lucius was led modern Japanese bath house, sentoh. There he got some ideas of Romen bath architecture, Thermae Romae. He called modern Japanese flat-faced people. That way to call was very funny! Also Romen people were played these Japanese actors have distinct facial features, Hiroshi Abe, Kazuki Kitamura and Masachika Ichimura. So an actress of heroine couldn't find them in true European extras. I felt like the ending was twisted. But I liked it because it got to the point.

I saw it as provocative, sweet and...pretty boring between the travels of poor architect are not only repetitive but, in some measure, pretty childish.

But the idea is seductive and , reminding the emotion of childhood about adventure - historical books, just smart used. And the humor, like providential romance, the parallel between cultures , ore than Japaneses talking Latin are not so insignificant.

Indeed, in few moments I perceived Terumae romae as just delightful and, in some measure, it is little more, for acting, for atmosphere, for ingenuity of slices of story and for noble intentions as axis of a sweet - pretty nice film about pretentions of powerful men and the sources of inspiration for a correct architect.

It's entertaining and funny. The scenes of Romans trying to copy jacuzzi made my laugh. I enjoyed it.

"Thermae Romae" is a Comedy - Fantasy movie in which we watch a Roman architect transported to modern-day Japan where he learns a lot and gain reputation and money when he is going back home.

I enjoyed this movie because it had a simple but interesting plot that contained plenty of humorous scenes, something that elevated the movie. The interpretations of both Hiroshi Abe who played as Lucius and Aya Ueto who played as Mami were very good and their combination worked very well. In addition to this, the direction which was made by Hideki Takeuchi was also very good and he presented his main characters in a very clever way in order for the audience to relate to them and follow them along their story. All in all, I have to say that "Thermae Romae" is a nice comedy movie and I recommend everyone to watch it because I am sure you will laugh and you will have a great time.
