Sing in Love (2022)

Not my cup of tea....

The plot was so confusing. It started out good and then the rap just make it worst.
I gather the story is about a teacher and he got violently r****. Then his rapist came to confront him, and then he told the MC to rap???? At the end, the MC died :(. The rapist never got charged and he cowardly ran away. Poor MC suffered and died at the end. Horrible script and plot. This plot is dark and no happy ending. The MC got divorced and then he might be into guys???

!!!!Do not recommend.!!!!!! Please do not waste your wasting time watching this, this bl sucks so much.
Edit: There were many details that went unnoticed, or ignore? I didn't get the movie and was so confusing. Definitely have to analyze and watch this to get what this movie is about. Below is a comment spoiler to make better sense of this movie :).

nem tudo é o que parece

o que me atraiu a ver esse filme foi a sinopse ser bizarra e ser +18 isso já me despertou o interesse, a bizarrice está ali logo no começo e ao continuar vendo você fica se perguntando o que estou vendo? mas depois que você consegue entender onde o filme quer te levar mesmo você não gostando pra onde está indo, você acaba se apegando ao principal e querendo o bem dele porque tudo é fudido e sem cuspe nesse filme, o final não aceitarei jamais PORQUE?? desnecessário total porém tem a mensagem por trás que entendo porém não aceito!

recomendo quem tiverpara quem tiver curiosidade como eu.

Possible spoilers

This movie is beautiful. Don't get me wrong, it is. But why in the world does it have only a 15+ content rating? Im 22 and when i watched it, it hit me from all different directions and i thought about it for a while after i finished it. Its upsetting but beautiful at the same time and it makes you cry basically. I really hated the ending, it left me in shock and i don't know if they really HAD to give us that ending, but maybe they thought it matches the theme of the movie. It does, but still.... I would give this a 18+ content rating tbh. It has some VERY mature scenes and themes. But overall it's worth to watch if you're sure you can handle something of this genre.

rapping is a form of expression

It can be confusing on how you feel especially with no support aiding you in that process.

There was serious character growth for the teacher as he experienced trauma that destroyed most people in life and yet comes out better for it. It made me cry that he died right after he realised his love for Kai. He found a great friend from shota as he was comfortable with him and actually gave him some love advice.

Kai I felt was always rooting for the teacher as he wanted him to express his feelings from the start taking blame for a terrible act no one should have to face. At face value it seems he is uneducated and naive but he understands the world better than most people

Not really a BL but rather a strong, raw and brutal psychological story with a lot of trauma

This movie is very difficult to describe: it is about a very traumatic event happening to a school teacher as his life falls literally into pieces. It is raw, brutal and violent in addition of featuring a community of outcasts and a darker side of the Japanese society. It confronts the viewer to the ugliness of the reality of dealing with abusers and how it is difficult to receive proper help to heal as well as to find justice and peace. In term of story, I was pretty impressed by the choices made by the screenwriter. Pacing could have been a bit better, especially toward the ending.

The acting was good overall: especially regarding the two main characters. I would have expected maybe a bit more from the secondary casting who did ok but where in some case it could have been stronger (especially when comparing with what the main leads were providing). Even at the level of the two main male leads, it could have been even stronger but they did a very good job given the raw scenes in which they were acting.

The music is pretty central in a way to the film. It is super interesting to see how poetry, language and then rap and music are used to deal with trauma and as part of the healing process. The filmmaking was great: it had an indie vibe totally fitting the scenario, with some camera mouvements giving an angsty vibe which brought me shivers.

I would recommend this to people looking for a strong psychological story with a thriller / dark side and involving very traumatic events happening to the characters. It is completey gripping and gutwrenching. This film is full of triggers, shocking scenes and very graphic: be mindful and check the tags (or even maybe the spoils if you want to make sure this is a movie you will be able to digest).

A MAGIA DESSE FILME É SER INTENSO E CRUEL

Eu decidi assistir esse filme exclusivamente porque tinha dedo do mesmo diretor de "Dangerous Drugs Of Sex" que é um dos meus filmes favoritos de todos os tempos mas esse deixou a desejar.
O filme começa de maneira intensa e muito promissora, o estupro e as consequências dele na vida do Jin é algo arrebatador de se acompanhar e a maneira como o Kai e o Rap entram no meio desse momento fragilizado do Jin é fascinante.
Mas depois disso a história se arrasta bastante, é um filme muito longo e uns bons 20 minutos poderiam facilmente ter sido cortados, parece que você está vendo toda hora a mesma coisa.
A forma que esse filme termina me pegou de surpresa, visto que é uma adaptação de mangá eu não esperava tudo que aconteceu naqueles minutos finais (eu não tenho muito contato com mangá mas todas as adaptações que eu já vi tiveram um final feliz).
O final é extremamente cruel e realista, acho que essa é a magia de todo esse filme, ele é cruel e não poupa ninguém do sofrimento.
A história num contexto geral é boa mas a metade dela é muito arrastada e o final foi um banho de água fria (não estou dizendo que é ruim, simplesmente não faz o meu estilo). Apesar disso essa foi uma experiência marcante e esse filme merece atenção e sucesso.

What The F-ck, also ignore the last five minutes?

This is the most unhinged movie I have ever seen, nothing about it made sense for the first hour and still many of the interactions were weird. It felt like we were a bystander and you see 2 people that know each other talk about something between them, but for a whole movie. I dont really know how to rate this movie but I will just put some of my thoughts here.

A married school teacher gets raped by a guy in a pig mask. Three months later, he is still traumatized by the event and gets followed by 2 guys, one of them being a guy called Kai. The teacher thinks its the guys that raped him, and he gets followed and teased with more and more. Eventually, he loses his job and his wife, and his mental state is a wreck. He lives randomly just like everyone in the shit town.

SPOILERS

Turns out, the teacher was not raped by Kai, but by an older man who is the boss of the shit town. The connection and why he "protects and gives money" is confusing but whatever. It is nice that some of the questions the viewer has were answered, but it is still obvious that this movie is open to interpretation in many areas.

Kai probably kept an eye out for the teacher because Kai liked him since he was a child. He surveyed the teachers trauma responses and helped him face his trauma. Still, he ruined the life of the teacher, so it felt quite meaningless in my eyes. Kai acted mostly self-indulgent in my opinion. One thing i dont get is why did the big boss man decide to rape the teacher? I see the connection with the teacher and Kai but not the with the boss.

As for the ending, it was cool that the teacher ended up burning the boss man alive, and then made love with Kai. It was a fcked up story, but at least there is some sort of happy ending. Until the boss man (i think? his face was covered probably from the hospital but idk) kllled the teacher and he lies dead naked in the forest. Bruh. What even is this story. Kai manages to escape and god knows what he is thinking and plans to do with his life.

I dont know how to recommend this movie. Its somewhat of an interesting watch but super confusing and does not deserve a re watch in my opinion. Still, the acting was great and I recommend it if you like darker themes in general. Respectfully, I prefer soft and fluffy BLs (this one is not even a BL), and will be enjoying them instead.

An Messy, Chaotic And Pretty Violent Movie

Sing In Love was a messy, chaotic, and pretty violent movie. The movie has some sensitive themes that I will not say. Because I don't want to spoil the movie for anyone. But I will say this. The plot was questionable. The acting performances, music, and dialogue were raw. The actors and actresses acting were realistic. The s*xual scenes were intense. There were some violent scenes in the movie that were too much for me to handle, but I made it through those scenes, plus the whole movie. The movie was good, but I dislike the ending. The ending was sad and tragic. If you can't stomach a messy, chaotic, and pretty violent movie with a tragic ending, then don't watch it but if you can stomach a messy, chaotic, and pretty violent movie with a tragic ending, then watch it.

Heartbreaking

Honestly this movie really is dark. I didn’t quite understand why the YK culprit would like reveal himself and be like hey I’m the person who SA’ed you. The plot is really amazing. I didn’t expect Kai to be one of the students that he taught as an intern which means he’s like youngggggg. aside from that I get that he was very harsh but I still don’t understand why Kai was doing all those things like on the side, ruining his career, etc. I really should have stopped at 1hr and 47mins, it was so happy and then you see it change not even a second later. I hate that he got killed like they had there happy moment just let it be. I really did feel numb after watching that movie.

I’m heartbroken. He had such a bad life only to be killed.
