This documentary was so melancholy and sad but man people do manage to mess themselves up.
The Great Happiness Space
Plot: Set in Osaka, Japan, this probing documentary investigates the underground world of high-end Japanese clubs, where attractive young men serve as escorts for wealthy female patrons. Director Jake Clennell pays particular attention to Café Rakkyo, and follows the male staff as they are taught how to make themselves appear as objects of desire. Observing the emotional turmoil both the staff and the customers go through, Clennell asks the question: Can love be bought?
My Feelings: This film is not for everyone. I rented because of the novelty and end up really enjoying it. If you don’t know what a Host Club is then it’s a place where you pay to drink with someone. They are super popular is Japan. They have ones with female host and male one. Always (as far as I know) separate. People can become obsessed with the host and will spent thousands of dollars a night to keep there attention. Some even pay the rent of the host they love or buy them clothing. This film talks to both the male host and there female clients. The story is a tragedy. Watching the women become prostitutes to pay there host club bills breaks my heart. Some even leave there husband or finances.
The pace of the film is slow. Which is typical of a Japanese film. The tone is melancholic. There is no happy ending which is made sadder when you remember its real. It talks a lot about the women’s downfalls and decent into being addicted to Host Clubs. There are some very uncomfortable topics just to warn you. The good I found in it is that it gave a voice to the men who are often treated like villains. In the end they are doing there jobs. When they go home they have the same hangups and problems there clients do. The film can make you feel uncomfortable at times because you want to take a side but can’t.
This film is good for people who are okay with a0 slow film that never gives you an answer simply asks you questions. As a warning I will give a heads up about talk about sex workers(ing), drugs, stalking, and violence. It’s an amazing film if you give it a chance. It’s just a lot to handle.

I made a mood collage for Ouran Highschool host club! 🌸💕
Well, we all know what happens next…
I'm sorry but this is so funny
i know this is a starkid blog- but
I don't know if anyone's already mentioned this, but I feel sorry for Haruhi. Like, I know she got into Ouran highschool on a scholarship and is already isolated from her peers by the fact that her social standing is so far below them, (as well as not being able to afford what they can, obviously) but the fact that Ouran has a middle school and most likely a primary school, so it's a K-12 school means that everyone realistically already knows each other.
So even if she wants to make friends outside of the hosts, it would be hard to break into the friend groups which have been together for literal years and through so much, adding to her isolation. Which makes sense why only new kids and the host club are her friends at the school, as she, Ritsu, and Renge (in the anime, at least) are close and know her secret, and are the only two other new kids shown in the anime.
Because of this, Haruhi probably felt exhausted even if she tried to make new friends, as everyone has most likely known each other since birth, and she has no connects other than the club.
