Movie Review: Kuroshitsuji (Live Action)


Kuroshitsuji (also known as Black Butler) is a film adapted from the popular manga series by Yana Toboso in 2013.  Directed by Kotaro Otani and Keiichi Sato, this film released at January 18, 2014. This film has action-fantasy genre.


Synopsis:

Set in the year 2020, Shiori Genpo (Ayame Gouriki) runs the large corporation Funtom. Shiori is also a descendant of prestigious noble family Phantomhive of  England. As a descendant of the noble family Phantomhive, Shiori solves difficult cases which are ordered by the queen. 

In order to take revenge, Shiori makes a deal with a devil named Sebastian (Hiro Mizushima). Their deal involves Butler Sebastian protecting Shiori until her revenge is fulfilled and then Sebastian will consume Shiori's spirit. 


As one of Kuroshitsuji fans, I feel disappointed with this film. This film is very different from the manga version. The most striking difference is the main character. The main character din the manga version, Ciel, is a boy but in the movie version, the main character is a girl named Shiori. The setting in the manga version that occurred in the 19th century in England was changed to 2020 in Japan. The plot is also different from the manga version. Even though I am disappointed with the change of movie version, this film has a good plot and great actors.

The Negative Impacts of Dating              Adolescence is a wonderful time. Many things happened during the transition period of adolescents from childhood to adulthood . One of the interesting and happening things in the world of adolescence is the dating trend that is favored by some teenagers. Courtship is a relationship between two people of the opposite sex and they have an emotional attachment, where the relationship is based on the feelings in each other's hearts(Kyns, 1989). However, there are negative impacts of courtship.             The first impact is physical abuse. The Anti-Violence Coalition in Alabama said that one in three children experienced physical violence during early dating. The forms are like pushing, hitting, strangling, and killing. The crime was very closed because the victim or perpetrator did not acknowledge the problem during the relati...

My Favorite Songs From Musicals

Lately, I like watch musical dramas or animated videos from musical dramas. There are my favorite songs from the musicals: 1.        Candy Store (Heathers) In this song, Heather Chandler lays down the law and offers her protegée Veronica a choice: be cruel and powerful like the Heathers or go back to your loser friends and be nobody. The song starts when Veronica realizes Chandler has tricked her into forging a cruel love letter to Martha , posing as Martha’s lifelong crush, Ram . I like how this song tells the mean girls point of view. My favorite part is when Heather Duke sing and try to catch the highnotes then being yelled by Heather Chandler, “Shut up, Heather!”, that’s really funny.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jviZGERpqg&index=2&list=RDYuCux-Dtk-0   1.        Meant To Be Yours (Heathers) JD breaks into Veronica’s room, wielding a gun, as she bar...
