I’d like to speak with Makoto in a room in which there are no others.

Dead Talents Society

Why is dying harder than living? A very messy funny movie, telling about the afterlife process of becoming a wandering ghost that is made into a reality show, we can see the struggle of the ghosts to scare people so that the ghosts do not disappear and will be famous among the other ghosts. This movie is suitable to entertain you but I think it is not for those who are afraid of blood and gory things.

Dead Talents Society

❝We make ourselves into monstrosities lest others look down on us. Do you know what counts as talent to them? As long as you're seen, they think you're talented.❞ · · ──────⊹⊱ ✦ ⊰⊹────── · · I wasn't sure what to expect from Dead Talents Society, but what I ended up with was a charming and fun horror-comedy with a great message: you don't have to prove yourself to others and strive to live up to their expectations; it's enough to be true to yourself. The cast did such a good job; I wasn't the biggest fan of Gingle Wang's performance, but overall the acting was nice. I loved the campy and bright visuals and editing, and I think they worked perfectly with the plot and atmosphere on the whole; I do appreciate a film that doesn't take itself seriously. The pacing felt a bit odd at times, though, and in my opinion the ending was really rushed. I also would've liked to learn more about the other ghosts' backstories, especially Camilla and Kouji's. All in all, I can see why Dead Talents Society has great ratings, and I'd recommend giving it a watch.
