바다에서 민물로, 민물에서 바다로 어딘가를 향해 가고 있는 해파리를 통해 ‘청춘’을 이야기하다

특별한 꿈 없이 평소 잠자기를 좋아하는 스물 네 살 청년 '니무라 유지'. 물수건 세탁 공장에서 임시직으로 일하게 되면서 그는 자기보다 세 살 많은 '아리타 마모루'와 친해지게 된다. 얼마 후 정식직원으로 채용하고 싶다는 사장의 제안에, 뭐가 더 좋은 건지 헷갈려 하자 마모루는 충고가 필요할 때마다 그에게 특이한 사인을 해주겠다고 한다. 엄지 손가락을 가슴 쪽으로 향하면 '기다려라', 엄지와 검지를 바깥 쪽으로 향하면 '가라'는 뜻으로. 그 후 니무라는 마모루 집에 자주 놀러가 그가 키우는 해파리를 좋아하게 된다.

Professional Review of "Bright Future (Korean Version)"

August 27, 2003

This professional review refers to Bright Future (Normal Edition) (Japan Version - English Subtitles)
Everyone needs a goal in life, and that of Mamoru (played by the very tasty Asano Tadanobu) is to adapt his red medusa jellyfish to fresh water and set it free. A lovely goal, except for the fact that the things are highly poisonous, and he wants to liberate his in the waterways of Tokyo.

But despite what the director says, this is not a monster film. There are no giant red jellyfish lurching out of the canals to menace children and tear down buildings, no screaming, car crashes, or evacuations of a city under siege (I feel as though that should be in capitals, with plenty of exclamation marks, but I'm going to resist the temptation). The jellyfish serves largely as a device to connect characters, aside from some lovely shots of the creature in its moodily-lit tank.

The personal relations in this film seem, to me at least, fairly realistic. They're messy, uncommunicative, and tend to change in odd ways. And there's never a classic, end-of-film-so-we-can-all-go-home-happy resolution, because life just ain't like that.

Overall, this film holds up a subtle mirror to life, allowing us to identify with, and sympathise for, the lonely and dysfunctional main characters, while providing occasional moments of beauty that we don't see in our own lives. Or perhaps we don't see them because we're too busy looking elsewhere. A thoughtful and moving film.

8 red medusa jellyfish out of 10

Beautifully told Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
At first Bright future can seem quite inaccesable to viewers, especially due to the strange fluctuations in plot speed, but if given the right amount of attention this film shows itself to be a delicate, subtle and rather beautiful story of love, loss and devotion. Asano Tadanobu is as always, understated and Odagiri Joe provides a sweet, emotionally unstable balance to his performance. I highly recommend this film to anyone who likes a good tear-jerker.
