A movie for Bebop fans
|
Some people might get it and some people won't, which by the way has an official title (Knockin' on Heaven's Door). This movie definitely caters to a certain sophisticated kind of science fiction. In a way I think the movie is a bit imbalanced in regards to settings and soundtrack, but the story is rock solid. Keep in mind this is anime and this movie is done in a very Japanese way. Cinematic Japanese techniques I mean... not your standard anime clichA s.
What I mean by Japanese cinema is certain things are done to draw you in the movie like for instance scenes having a lack of any background music when you would usually hear some or more attention to details such as day-to-day life. These techniques really help draw you in the world the movie sets out to create. American films are sorely lacking in these kinds of theater experiences. Fortunately Cowboy Bebop isn't. It's not an action movie, but when the few action scenes do come on get ready to be blown away.
You are really drawn into the settings. I really like that in a movie. The only problem is the Bebop universe is a bit dual natured... a little too dual natured for my tastes. You start the movie flying in from space with some really whiz tech and everything. Then when you hit the planet everything is as if you're in almost modern-day time. Pretty much the only time you see anything sci-fi looking is when the airplanes come out, which by the way is not only cool ships but some of the most exciting scenes in the movie.
I have to tilt my head in confusion over the soundtrack. The first part of the movie has some trendy rock music going, which isn't all that impressive for the movie if you ask me. It just didn't fit right. However there are scenes that have your classic Bebop frenzied jazz. Now that's a better fit!
I can't really say this movie is just for the Cowboy Bebop fan, as it seems to have enough background information to keep the new viewers from being left out. If you like being drawn into a movie, with all of its sights and sounds, then you find such a movie here. If you action buffs and be patient enough the movie will aim to please you too. I will admit this movie is not for every sci-fi fan, but it's worth watching for the experience.
