Smells Like Green Spirit

Complete | Nagai Saburou | 2011 released

A very accurate representation of what it’s like to be gay in a homogenous society. Life isn’t like fiction where things all have a way of working out the way the audience imagines. Things do work out, but in the path it just happens to go in. The other lead who married and had a family is a great representation of that. He’s gay, and still is, but for the sake of his mother, he denied himself. “I live for my mother’s smile.” Anyway, there is definitely a reason this gets so much hype and love. I think a lot of queer people can relate to some of the characters and that’s nice. Overall, 7.5/10
