The theme

Enjoy the subculture movie

昨年は、「富士山」が世界文化遺産に、和食がユネスコ無形文化遺産に登録され、国際的にも日本の文化的な魅力に注目が集まった一年だった。そんな日本カルチャーを代表する分野の一つとして、忘れてはならないのがサブカルチャー。日本のアニメ・マンガがアジア諸国で放送・出版されたり、コスプレがヨーロッパの愛好家によって楽しまれたりと、日本発サブカルチャーは独自の発展を遂げて、世界に広がりを見せている。 先日はオリンピックが閉幕したが、国際情勢が微妙な均衡状態を保っている現在において、スポーツやカルチャーは、政治経済に傾倒しがちな国際交流を新鮮な感覚で押し広げてくれるとても魅力的な視点。今回は世界に誇る日本の大きな魅力の一つでもある「サブカルチャー」をテーマに、現在渋谷で公開中の作品をピックアップした。 ヒーローに憧れる若者が等身大で活躍する「キック・アス ジャスティスフォーエバー」、未だファンも多いファミコンゲームの面白さを伝える「ゲームセンターCX THE MOVIE 1986 マイティボンジャック」、マンガという大衆メディアを通して世界に切り込む「マンガで世界を変えようとした男」。好きなモノへの思いを貫く人々の姿は、国籍を問わず美しい。

At TOHO Cinemas Shibuya, the sequel to the popular work "Kick-Ass", which was released in theaters in 2010 and expanded the screening hall by word of mouth, "Kick-Ass Justice Forever" has started.
Superman, Batman, Spider-Man ... Superheroes in the American comics world who have money, skills and special abilities to save people. "Kick-Ass" is a hero movie that depicts Dave, a dull high school student who is a hero comic nerd, longing for a hero and acting as Kick-Ass wearing a suit and mask bought on the Internet. The hero statue and the unique appearance of the strongest girl warrior Hit Girl played by Chloe Grace Moretz are talked about. In Japan, the screening theaters, which were originally 4 theaters when they were first released in 2010, have grown into popular works that have expanded to more than 70 theaters by word of mouth.
In the second installment, Dave, who couldn't find a dream for the future, formed the hero group "Justice Forever". Ordinary people, such as ballet teachers, students, and copywriters, confront villainous groups in masked ways to protect the peace of the city. On the other hand, the former hit girl is living a school life as an ordinary girl ...
I want to enjoy the struggle of masked heroes who shatter the existing image with a fresh feeling.

At Human Trust Cinema Shibuya, the movie "Game Center CX THE MOVIE 1986 Mighty Bon Jack" started on February 22nd to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the game variety show "Game Center CX".
Game Center CX is a TV program of Fuji TV CS broadcasting whose main content is a plan in which Arino section manager (Yoko, Shinya Arino) challenges a nostalgic home video game and aims for an ending screen. The appearance of the section chief who never gives up no matter how many times he fails has struck a chord with game fans, and the total number of DVD series has exceeded 500,000 sets. In commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the program, this movie was realized.
In 1896, Daisuke, a boy who loves NES, confronts to regain the game software "Mighty Bomb Jack" that was "borrowed" by the bad guys in order to make a promise with Kumiko. On the other hand, Arino, who is challenging "Mighty Bomb Jack", which is known for its high difficulty, has been playing miracles in rapid succession, but the time limit is approaching every moment. Daisuke and Arino, who are tied together with NES software. How is their love and challenge going? Another "Sunset on Third Street" full of homage to the 80's and love for games. I want to watch the fight between the two, remembering those days when I was absorbed in the NES.

Thompson, the original author of the movie Fear and Loathing, and Ralph, who worked on the main visual for the movie Fear and Loathing. Creative activities with interaction with Beat Generation's leading writer William Burroughs and valuable images obtained with the cooperation of director Terry Gilliam and Bill Murray, who are known as Ralph's enthusiastic collectors. Approaching the source of. The interview and narration will be done by actor Johnny Depp, who has been a longtime fan of Ralph. Depp witnesses the scene of the creation, sometimes screaming in admiration, sometimes losing words, and drawing out the figure of an artist who takes a brush for the freedom of the citizens.
