Saimon & Tada Takashi (2018)

WTF Did I just watch?

The synopsis definitely does not match what I just watched. The tags don't even match. I was expecting some slice of life or even friendship stuff, but I got that mixed in with some random sci-fi and now I'm all confused.

Shouldn't have even wasted my time watching this.

STORY:

Saimon is in love with his best friend Takashi. As seniors in high school, both Saimon and Takashi are concerned about their future. Saimon is set to go to collge, while Takashi is going to take over his father's business. Takashi feels like it's the end of the road for him since he has no luck in women. He confesses to the only girl in his grade and his shut down. He then finds a women's number in the bathroom stall. Desperate, he decides to call it and meet her. Saimon isn't a fan of his idea, but goes with Takashi on his journey to meet this woman.

On their trip, Saimon and Takashi meet a biker, who no longer rides a motorcycle and has taken up cycling. The biker's girlfriend is suddenly abducted by and alien UFO. Meanwhile Saimon and Takashi meet the woman. Takashi has a nose bleed, so the woman cares for him, while Saimon sulks outside. On the verge of tears, Saimon meets the biker again, who tells him to man up. Saimon returns save Takashi from the woman, but Takashi is beaten up by the woman's other suitors. Taka shi is desperate to save the woman, but Saimon confesses his love to Takashi and says he won't help find her, leaving Takashi to save the woman himself. Once again, Saimon encounters the biker, who takes Saimon to save his girlfriend and Takashi.

Takashi, the biker, and Saimon arrive just in time to save the woman from being abducted by the UFO, but that's where we learn the alien in the UFO is the woman's ex-boyfriend who cheated on her with another woman. He is back to win her back.

The film ends with the woman getting back with her alien man, the biker getting his girlfriend back from the alien, and Saimon and Takashi heading home. Saimon says he's given up on Takashi, but Takashi says he still likes women but until he can find a girlfriend that Saimon should help him out.

The film was good until the whole UFO/alien storyline began. Yes there was a lot of sexual innuendos, but the whole plot revolves around Takashi trying to get laid, so that's no problem. The big problem is the sci-fi aspects, it's just so random and doesn't fit with the tone of the film. The film was very slice of life until the biker's girlfriend is kidnapped by the UFO.... Also, why was she kidnapped? I don't get it. It was so random and out of nowhere.

This film is so confusing. I guess it has a plot, but the slice of life aspect and the sci-fi don't match. It's really strange.
Also, I don't get the ending. Saimon threw his drink to Takashi, who disappears and a animated humanoid bird thing with a lizard's tail appears... WTF? I can come to terms with the weird UFO aspect to the movie, but the ending really upset me. Let Saimon and Takashi have their friendship ending or have them hook up. Don't confuse us with that weird creature. What happened to Takashi? I'm so confused.

OVERALL:

I'm half-Japanese, so I understood what I was watching, but I was still confused. Don't even bother watching unless you like weird sci-fi movies like Sharknado. The film is definitely not what the synopsis says and isn't worth your time. The film is starting to turn into a lost media and it should stay that way.

pretty messy

the only thing I can really say that was bad about this movie is that the storyline was messy, it was a bit difficult to keep up but maybe the fact that there are no eng subtitles is also apart of the reason. overall i wouldn't say it's a bad story or movie in general, I in general love plots that a goofy and really random but I know not everyone does and so I understand other people don't really like it. but the story did make sense to me at the end

(!SPOILERS AHEAD OF THE WHOLE MOVIE!)

from what i understood of the movie is saimon has a really big imagination and likes takashi, then they go on a trip together, and takashi falls in love with a woman who he met because of a phone number in a bathroom who ends up bieng an alien, but before they find out she's an alien saimon confessed his feeling to takashi, but after they fought with the alien lady, takashi and saimon go back home, and then they stop to say bye to eachother but that's when takashi asks saimon for the juice that they got from the thug lookin guy on a bike, and saimon throws it at him but the next shot is saimon standing there alone and the can falling on the ground and no takashi anywhere, and then we see another part of his imagination and that's the end

so overall very confusing(i could barely explain and it still doesn't make really sense)
