"Moon Child Review"
This was a wonderful movie that actually made me cry in some parts. It's really beautifully written with great acting. Also helps that Gackt and HYDE are in it. It's a touching movie that's worth the money.



"Stylish, engaging!"
I am not a huge vampire movie fan per say, but this is one off the cuff flick! Spanning forty some years in the lives of five friends, it is hopeful yet tragic. Not your run of the mill horror offering, it has heart while being violent and funny. One example has Kei(HYDE) waltzing with some dude as he makes him shoot everyone in the room. I am an immediate fan of Gackt and HYDE, they're charming, great job fellas. Moon Child is well made and directed with good gun play and special effects too. Kinda has a goth feel to it and although futuristic, doesn't overdo that fact with silly costumes and sets.



"Great Movie! Is a must see!"
I must say, when I first heard of this I thought that the acting of Hyde and Gackt would, to put it nicely, be not so good. But, I was very surprised when they were quite good, going from singing to acting. The story is really tragic, but it has bits and pieces of humor hidden in the fight scenes. I like this movie very much and I highley recommend it to any Gackt or Hyde fan like myself.



"Moon Child Review"
As an admitted Gackt fan, I first became aware of this movie while hunting through translations of his lyrics. A quick, fangirlish squeel later, I discovered to my delight (after some serious hunting) that the movie was rentable from most Hollywood Video stores. So, two days later, I was finally stated... but then I had to return it. Curses. I don't know if I'll buy the movie from Amazon, but I will be seeking it out for my collection.

But about the movie itself.
Costumes: Can't say enough about the costumes. You'd have to see it to understand it. Missed 80% of the plot the first time just staring at it. x.x
Script: More cheesily wonderful lines than you can shake a stick at in the humor parts, and almost tear-jerking in the stretches of story development. The little song that they sing at the end is an actual duet available on Gackt's Crescent album. *shameless promotion*
Personal Plot: Truely touching character interaction. Tons of Angst.
Overall Plot: Well, it's classic asian mafia racialy-spawned tragidy... And there just happens to be a vampire in it.




"Moon Child Symbolic Quote--- "Boss. It's time to go!""

"Boss, It's time to go!"....(Rick/James H. Thomas)

Yes, this scene would be the Symbolic scene of Moon Child.

Here, Gackt is wearing a long white jacket while James Thomas who plays his right hand man wearing a long black jacket. Both of them look cold and cool. Gackt's pacing up and down. James stands still holding a pocket watch on his hand. It seems time has stopped at this movement, yet you can feel the wind is roaring, the world is weeping.

"Boss, it's time to go!" James Thomas breaks the silence.

Slowly, they start their journey, moving toward the chaotic future. This scene states the most important breaking point of Moon Child, which bridge between the past and the destiny of Gackt's character "Sho". Gackt's emotionless expression reflects the cruel reality. His acting is magnificent. And,despite playing a supporting role in this movie, James Thomas does add a strong misty atmosphere that Moon Child wishes to portray.

When we talk about John Woo, we immediately think of his symbolic flying doves. For Moon Child, I will always remember this symbolic Quote-- "Boss, it's time to go!"

Yes, Moon Child is a movie you must see.
