#CRAZY CHICKEN SONG JAPANESE MOVIE#

Featuring dreamy retro-tinged scenes of Tokyo's suburbs and a handsome and sensitive Korean character as the male lead, it is obvious that the producers are aiming for a piece of the current East Asian zeitgeist.

To be fair, some effort has been made in updating the movie according to the tastes of today's audiences. Well, at least the ghost lover in this movie does not sparkle she just glows with heavenly light. It seems that nothing much has changed and there is still something about the love between a person and a supernatural being that sets people off. If you are wondering just what form of cultural impact took place based on a movie about a girl and her lover from another dimension, do know that it did bag, amongst other accolades, an Oscar Best Picture nomination in 1991.

For those, like me, who were too young to experience the cultural impact of this early nineties movie, watching the remake would probably not help us get any closer to that. Although there are several tweaks as compared to the Moore and Swayze original, like the role reversal of its couple вЂ“ the female partner dies in this one and the male is the ceramist, 'Ghost' essentially takes on the same romantic fantasy plot. And surprisingly (or maybe not), the latest movie remake to hit our shores is one re-produced, not by Hollywood, but by the people most likely to come up with crazy stuff that no one else in the other corners of the world has probably thought of - the Japanese. Even if some might disagree, the constant regurgitation of remakes done onto our movie screens probably says otherwise. It is said that there is no more room for originality in our postmodern world as everything the human race can conceive has been said, done and documented.
