Following my first stab last year at reviewing my favourite films of the year in Haiku form, I decided to give it another go. Remember, these little Japanese poems are three lines made up of five syllables, then seven, then five.
Gravity
Explosion in space
Debris flying everywhere
The will to survive
Captain Philips
Somali hijack
Capture Captain in lifeboat
Tense tale on high seas
Rush
Two F1 drivers
Battle it out for title
A wild, thrilling ride
The World’s End
Pubs, pints and old friends
Scrapping with weird blue aliens
Marmalade sandwich
The Place Beyond The Pines
Stunt rider has kid
Teams up with guy to rob banks
Fathers, sons, life, death
Cloud Atlas
Past, present, future
Kind act that ripples through time
A grand, epic tale
Django Unchained
Bounty hunter finds
slave, recruits him then hunts down
plantation owner
Zero Dark Thirty
Hunt for Bin Laden
Led by obsessive lady
Finds him then kills him
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
Victor of games
Girl on fire made to play nice
Starts revolution
So there we go. My attempt at Japanese poetry for this year, or at least until the mood takes me again. Hope you enjoy them. See if you can come up with your own for your favourite films of the year, it’s quite fun.
