Off Balance Waking Up

Pride

Before going to the review of this series, I must make a confession: I'm a fan of Kimura Takuya. Some criticize him always playing on the same fiber, that of the handsome tough but sensitive, mysterious, modest, generous, faithful in love as in friendship, in short, the ideal man, which can prove one thing: ignorance his filmography. However, with regard to Pride, it is obvious that we are dealing with a KimuTaku as fantasized by his admirers as by his opponents.

Satonaka Halu (Kimura Takuya) is the captain and star of his team Ice Hockey, an ardent disciple of his coach, Anzai (Saburo Tokito), and adored by his teammates. Anzai has dedicated his life to his star player but is dying of an incurable disease. His last words were to encourage Halu to concentrate solely on his career in the making, even putting aside anything that might distract including sentimental issues. Murase Aki (Takeuchi Yuko) is a pretty office lady, resolutely traditionalist values, waiting patiently for two years for news of her fiance went to Canada. Ideal for a solitary Halu convinces the young woman to enter into a strange pact They "come out" together until one or the other decides to stop it, because of the reunion with his lost love one or the other for starting the Northern League American Hockey League. Obviously, such a synopsis is not particularly alluring, especially when you are allergic to melodramas.

However, Pride no lack of qualifications. My little knowledge of the sporting world are necessarily nurtured my interest in the issue of sacrifices to be made when one wishes to become a professional athlete: how far should we give up tout ce qui fait le sel d’une vie pour atteindre ses objectifs ? Quelles sont les responsabilités à assumer lorsqu’on est une star montrée en exemple à ses coéquipiers ? De même, j’ai été sensible aux valeurs véhiculées par les sports collectifs : travail, solidarité, fidélité… Les matchs de hockey en eux-mêmes sont bien rendus et agréables à suivre, même pour un non-fan. Par delà le thème du sport, se pose également une double problématique intéressante : comment construire une relation quand elle est supposée à la base même ne pas être durable, mais aussi comment peut-il être possible de renoncer à it really exists when love between the protagonists? "One does not trifle with love" said his time in Alfred de Musset.


Supported by a cast effective although very traditional, the faithful friend (Kenji Sakaguchi) service to the comic (Ryuta Sato), Pride is a drama that follows with pleasure even if we regret a relatively low final . And then ... Takuya Kimura ago.
