20th Century Boys (20/Oct/2008)

Went with my sis and her friend to watch "20th Century Boys".
This is the 1st part of the trilogy.
Simply loved this movie, Toshiaki Karasawa (唐沢寿明) is one of the reason.
Can't wait for the 2nd part which will only be shown beginning of next year.





Sypnosis taken from Golden Village website:
In 1969, Kenji, an elementary school kid and his friends built a secret base during their summer holidays. They fantasized that they had to fight villains who were out to conquer the world and wrote them in the "Book of Prophecies".

Years later in 1997, Kenji becomes a convenience store manager and leads a regular life after giving up his dreams to become a rock star. His boring life is suddenly turned upside down when his old classmate dies mysteriously and an entire family in the neighbourhood disappears. At the same time, a religious cult and its mysterious leader, "Friend" emerges and a strange chain of events duplicating exactly the events described in the "Book of Prophecies" follow.

Is this the beginning of the end of the world? Who is Friend?
