kevin-the-bruyne:
running into a public train in Japan in a fit of passion, grabbing a man by his neck and saying ‘iya nara yametemo’
when machida keita came out to kiss a man he came with his whole pussy OUT
poëtic cinemaaaaaaaaaaaaa
And then after kissing him raw (in a public train!!!) he looks at him with heart breaking sincerity and says ‘yappari, anata boku ga akogareta’
Which is translated to ‘You’ve always been my inspiration’ which is correct it’s correct
But gosh what he means from the way he says yappari is ‘After all, you are the person I look up to’
For one hour of this movie you watch Sugiki Sensei be rude, be frustrated, be incredibly exacting to the man he just kissed, and oh to reveal that he did all of that because he admires him.
The sorrow of how his dance partner Yagami Fusako cannot feel his devotion - his way of showing love - never understanding the love that he feels for her. Because he can’t love her in the way people expect, in the way that Fusako expects. And nothing he’s ever done for her - which is so goddamn much that she herself acknowledges - has ever translated as love, as gentleness, as kindness even though he was.
He’s boxed within the definition of a perfect gentleman, clinical sweet behaves exactly as expected. In his arms a woman can only feel cherished but not loved. And perhaps for him, the perfect gentleman who is also gay, this is the social trap that he’s set foot in - for the sole purpose of his success in the dancing world. The Asian Representative, the genius Asian protege. And perhaps he learnt to do that so well that he’s crushed his own ability to truly love.
The sorrow of putting Suzuki Shinya - in the same position as Yagami Fusako and having him resent him in the very same way. The fear of it was eating away at him - but he’s a genius and he must do what is expected of him.
And in this one moment of yappari all of it comes right out on his face (Machida Keitaaaaaaa gtfo you are going to ruin my LIFE)
Sugiki Sensei im begging to give me just a little more time to understand the depth of your repression. And I think Suzuki Shinya has exactly this approach to him.
Suzuki Shinya makes one move, takes a singular risk - which is to tell the most perfect man in the dance world that he’s boring and that unraveled Sugiki Sensei whole.
And so yes after all, Sugiki Sensei was exactly right about Suzuki Shinya - that he has the kind of explosive passion that could recognize the dying embers of Sugiki’s own and set it ablaze.
Therefore, the singular person in this world- regardless of gender - worth his admiration.
This movie was made to rewire my whole brain and I am so here for it
