Description: Japanese pop stars Gackt and HYDE star in this wild hybrid of futuristic science fiction, John Woo-style gunplay, and Gothic vampire horror. MOON CHILD follows a group of childhood friends as they advance in a futuristic criminal underworld. Sho (Gackt) feels he is doomed to walk in his idol Kei's (HYDE) footsteps as a vampire with the gift of eternal life and the curse of blood thirst. Over time, their tight friendship becomes corrupted because of their rivalry and love for the same woman. Filmmaker Takahisa Zeze brings a stylized sting to the blood draining and hyper violent proceedings. Japanese with English subtitles.
LOVE IT!!! BUY IT!!! This movie with hyde and gackt was ausome!! I'm a fan of both of them, and they did really good acting (considering they'er singers). I alwast cry at the end, but nobody elnse in my house does. mabye because i LOVE gackt and hyde. well, totally buy this movie cause it has hyde and gackt in it. even if your not a fan, it still is a good movie with guns, blood, and deaths. my type of movie!!
Excellent !!! This movie was great,despite the fact that Hyde and Gackt are singers. Most of the time the transition from singer to actor does not work but, it worked very well in this film. This is not your typical vampire story. There are no glowing eyes and obstruction of the facial features. It seems to be a very realistic approach to vampirism. Although there is a vampire in this film it is NOT a horror movie. It is more of a action/drama. I cried on a few parts myself. It is a very touching movie that I highly reccomend to everyone. So if youre in the mood to watch a movie thats true to life and the struggles we go through check it out!! You will not be disappointed!
I have yet to watch this movie without crying! This is a beautiful movie that words cannot describe! I am a huge Gackt fan and love his music! This movie is a tribute to the many talents of Gackt as well as Hyde and Wang Lee, who also did a very good job. Gackt's acting was truly heartfelt and has left me in tears eveytime I watch the movie. Hyde's performance was very touching as well, portraying his character's feelings to his way of life and the love he has for his friends. Wang Lee was also very powerful, blending very well with the talents of Gackt and Hyde. The movie is a rollercoaster of emotions, going from truly heart jerking moments to roaring gun fights and action scenes. The story is very engrossing and well written, coming from the brilliant mind of Gackt, creating an immediate interest in what is going to happen next. A must have for any Gackt fan, Hyde fan, or Wang Lee fan, although Gackt's grace and talent are unexpressable, and I don't feel like I am doing the film justice. It is just something that one must experience to understand and appreciate. Nevertheless, it is a must have for anyone that is interested in this genre. (The above was written by my daughter).
Three cheers for moon child I adored this movie! You wouldn't think that a movie with a bunch of singers as actors would be that good, but trust me on this one it is one of the best movies you can get. The acting is genuinely fantastic and there seems to be a lot of emotion in this one that you dont get to see to often. its a great twist on classic concepts.
Aweome Movie! My personal favorite I'm a huge fan of both Gackt and Hyde, but that's not the only reason why I adore this movie. It's really really moving and is a classic tragedy film. It definitely has it's happy and moments, but it ends really tragically. Can't help by cry every time i see the ending. I was really surprised with both Gackt's and Hyde's performances. The movie wasn't just for fan base or popularity because of the 2 starts, they really pulled it off. Story line is amazing. Trust, betrayal, human faults, loss, friendship... etc in one movie. I really recommend watching this movie even if you're not a fan of Gackt and Hyde.
