I also watched Guilty Parfait. It's a great movie, fulfilling all its objectives well. It's the same old Gavv, skillfully combining laughter and cruelty, brightness and darkness. And unlike Invaders of the House of Snacks, there's no parallel world here, but a direct continuation of the show's events.
And while each character gets their moment, the focus is on Hanto (
it's no wonder he's the one who gets the special form
). Granute's organ transplant is taking its toll, and he has to choose between life and power. And even though the writers solved the problem with script magic in the end, you really care about Hanto and understand what he's going through.
Liesel also has an important and unexpected role in this film. I remember many people had a decidedly negative attitude toward her, expecting something terrible to happen. In reality, Liesel suffers from loneliness, and that's precisely why, contrary to her father's assumptions, she never gets rid of Jeebh. Whether Bocca truly didn't understand his daughter or deliberately turned a blind eye to avoid admitting he was a bad father, we'll never know. Fathers are generally the most mysterious characters in Gavv. However, what's important here isn't the motive, but the consequences.
Who claimed that Komura doesn't give villains redemption?
I'm also flattered that Junko-san agrees with my opinion that juniors should be allowed to make mistakes. As I wrote several years ago: it's foolish to judge a schoolchild and a character who has lived for thousands of years by the same criteria. I also like that Liesel's habit of mixing sweets is finally being appreciated. It may be unsightly, but it really does taste better that way.
The trio of villains is also very well-thought-out and well-acted.
Guguna is the most expected and obvious of them all. In any rehab, there's someone who refuses to heal themselves and will encourage others to return to the crooked path. His human ally is frightening with his realistic perversion. Scenes with him are more reminiscent of thrillers about maniacs, even if they're few and far between. Izik, on the other hand, is Bocca's enemy, determined to satisfy his vengeance at any cost. And while I think such a cool design could have been better utilized, the appearance creates the necessary menace, so I don't mind it too much.
I also like that the show raises a very important theme: even those who don't want to be saved need to be saved. Perhaps they are the ones most of all.
Because we value freedom and diversity so much these days that we sometimes ignore obviously destructive behavior. (Remember, for example, the episode with Sachika and the artist. How many comments were written in his defense?
But if he hadn't realized he was wrong, next time instead of a bucket of paint, he could have splashed acetone on someone) But stopping a tragedy is much better than dealing with its consequences. Incidentally, the film also understands the other extreme, once voiced by Kamen Rider Baron, who, while calling for the protection of the weak, denied them a voice. Which led him nowhere. No, here those who refuse to be saved are talked to, persuaded, and compromises are sought (even if sometimes obviously magical ones). And while it may be a difficult and thankless path, it is the only correct one.
I also want to say a few words about the technical details. There's nothing wrong with Zeztz's action sequences; they're varied, inventive, and have their own unique style. But how I admire Gavv's approach! Every barrel in the shot is used in some way. And the battle on the high beam between
Valen and Izik
! And their fight with the beams! And the moment with the cape, like a friendly reproach from the suit actors to the costume designers for the awkward design. Simply magnificent!
In conclusion, I can say that, as always, Guilty Parfait is a nearly flawless film. But I liked Trio of Deep Sin and Graduations more, even though it's much easier to find flaws in them. Still, they felt like a step forward and an expansion of the show's world, whereas Guilty Parfait feels more like the last few episodes that didn't get enough airtime. Still, I highly recommend everyone watch this movie.
