There is a good film related to go :)

[MOD tchan001: The previous link was to an entire box-office movie and not just a trailer so it is considered pirated. Pirated media is not allowed on this forum thus the link has been removed. Please do not post links to pirated material on this forum.
For those who are interested in this go related film, the movie is called "Tokyo Newcomer" and you can see a TRAILER of the movie at this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz1RxxGjWco
You can also read about the film at this link http://www.oaff.jp/english/program/screening/21.html]

Since this forum is a collective mind which shares a single set of thoughts and beliefs via long-distance telepathy, you have clearly discovered a totally baffling inconsistency! Congratulations on your sharp eye; what would we do without your insight?

Re piracy, I will be most happy to buy a DVD of this movie, if it is ever released in my country. Until then, yo ho ho, pass the rum and shiver me timbers.

At the moment I'm wondering if it's possible to get screening permission for my Go club to publicly show this at my library...no idea how to begin even asking, though.

Can you give me a tip where to find this movie? Is it Japanese only or does it have subtitles or a translation?

For what it's worth, I've suggested it as a title to license at Five Points Pictures, so if we're lucky, the DVD may one day be available in the US,

Nice find. I'll be looking for this at SIFF this year. If they have any screenings I'll post them here.

Nor can we expect admins to respect the rights of BadukTV.

I'm only a moderator for the L19 FORUM and not the website. I can only moderate forum content.
Of course if in your opinion the link to the L19 website stream is pirating, then you should be warned for knowingly posting a link to what you consider pirated material on this forum.
But Joaz, who is an administrator of this forum, has a different opinion from yours.

I watched the film on youtube, many thanks for the hint harusaki.

It did not impress me much as a movie, neither the scenario, nor the players. But the fact it's about go and it somehow reflects some (to me not well known) aspects of japanese lifestyle makes it still interesting to watch. And the main female character of the movie pushes the limits of how beautiful a woman's face can be.

Agree, i would even say the scenario is bad, but (like the go master) the go scenes are interesting enough to make the film worth watching.

Just saw the movie. Loved the music and the way Go was shown, but that's pretty much it...the story is slow and boring (yes, even for a 'light drama'), and there wasn't that much in character development. 6/10
