Colorful (2010) NTSC DVD5 - Custom Subs  
================================

Plot or synopsis: "Congratulations! You've won our lottery! You may be one who 
died with a great sin, BUT, we're going to give you a second chance, you lucky soul!"

Thus begins Colorful, a new film based on an award-winning 1999 novel and directed by 
Keiichi Hara, who cut his teeth on a slew of Crayon Shin-chan movies but rose to wider 
critical acclaim in Japan with 2007's Summer Days with Coo. A cornucopia of nostalgic 
teenage angst, social criticism, and a searing sense of empathy, it is a strange, wonderful 
poem of a film.

As a story, it is remarkably simple. Our protagonist is a soul who-known as simply "Boku"
 ("I") for the majority of the story-has been given his second chance in the body of a 14 
year-old suicide victim named Makoto Kobayashi (Coo veteran Kazoto Tomizawa). Having no 
memories of who he once was or who he has become, "Boku" has but one objective before he 
can be fully reborn-discover what his sin in life was.
