Homestay

This film is inspired from the Japanese novel, Colorful. Overall, actors, CG, plot are do really good. I think teenagers do like it. But, I think this adapted film has a problem about plots. There are not many differences from the original novel as we seen from some films adaptation. So, if you have ever read the book before, the main point or some secrets might not make tremendous impact as it should do.

By the way, I think this film is a good one.

"Homestay" is a Drama - Fantasy movie in which we watch a young man waking up in a hospital where some people inform him that he is a spirit who has been given a second chance to life in his body but he has to find out the reason why the previous owner of this body committed suicide.

I liked this movie very much because it had a very clever plot, mystery and much of suspense. During its whole duration it was an emotional roller coaster and the way Parkpoom Wongpoom, who was responsible for the direction, he presented his main character, his family and the plot in general was simply amazing. In addition to this, the interpretation of Teeradon Supapunpinyo who played as Min was very good. To sum up, I have to say that "Homestay" is a nice movie and I recommend everyone to watch it.

While the credits acknowledge that this was "inspired" by Eto Mori's 1999 novel, which was already filmed twice before, the truth is that everything original about this movie - the premise, the idea of a not-so-nice guardian angel, and the final revelation - comes from the novel.

This film presents some really problematic views about women which are not part of the original story, namely how the protagonist treats his mother and girlfriend. The director and screenwriter make it seem that females are to blame if their suffering causes the male protagonist to feel bad about himself. In the original, his motive has more substantial and understandable reasons. In this story, he is utterly selfish. The local reviews upon reviews basically said the same thing, and that the weak script is only carried by the lead's devoted performance.

Watch the 2010 anime version "Colorful" instead, it is superior in every way.

Rewatched this movie after 6 years. Now I have a lot of problems and lost my identity and have suicidal thoughts. I cried a lot compared when i watched it for the first time. With this movie I hope I can keep continue. This movie is masterpiece and I already watched the anime version. The music the videography are godtier.

The first time I watched it when i was in college. I already had suicidal thought when i was in highschool. Back then I already adored this movie. After 6 years, everything changes i graduated from college and lost my job. This movie brings back memories even though I forgot a lot of scenes. And still this movie hits hard after 6 year.

Great plot, good cast especially Teeradon's performance. The visual effect/CG look familiar but well and neatly done. Overall. It's worth watching.
