Confused and Scary
4 May 2004
This story happens thirty years before the first `Ring'. It tells, in a dramatic way, the story of Sadako Yamamura (Yukie Nakama) when she was a teenager, working on a theater stage as an actress and having a crush in Tôyama (Seiichi Tanabe). The problem is the very confused screenplay and the badly developed characters. I do not know whether the translation to Portuguese along the film is correct. I watched a VHS spoken in Japanese with subtitles in Portuguese, but when I watch a movie in English, I note that there are many mistakes or omissions in the translation to Portuguese. Therefore, I do not know how precise is the translation in the Brazilian VHS. I myself did not understand the story as a whole, but I agree it is scary. I do not dare to say that it is a bad movie, but unfortunately I felt lost in many parts of the plot. In the future, I intend to watch the three Japanese `Ring' in sequence, and maybe the story becomes clearer. The actress Yukie Nakama is an amazingly beautiful and delicate young woman. I was astonished with her beauty. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): ` Ring 0 – O Chamado – Birthday' (`Ring 0 – The Calling – Birthday')
