Downtown Rumble 2 - Discussion Meeting
Attendance: Maria Tran, Jack Ngu, Quoc Trinh, Marie Setiwan, Joseph Hieu Dinh.
We watched snippets of “Bleach” and “Volcano High”.
We started a late 10.30pm at my place after the awesome Shortcuts 2009 Short Film Festival at Fairfield School of Arts. Unfortunately my misplacement of my USB at the venue has meant a meeting running to no agenda but that was ok as it was a little later in the night for formalities.
From wiki: Bleach follows the adventures of Ichigo Kurosaki after he accidentally obtains the power of a shinigami—a Japanese death personification similar to the Grim Reaper—from Rukia Kuchiki. Gaining these abilities forces him to take on the duties of defending humans from evil spirits and guiding departed souls to the afterlife.
Volcano High (Korean: 화산고, Hwasango) is a 2001 South Korean film noir. It revolves around a troublemaking high school student named Kim Kyung-soo who finds himself transferred to the last school that will take him, the prestigious Volcano High, an institution whose students display an incredible talent in martial arts, with a few demonstrating even more mysterious psychic powers; most notably Song Hak-rim. Kyung-Soo is drawn into fights between different clubs, a Manual that is told to hold great power, and a group of teachers that will do whatever possible to keep the students in line.
