One of the things I love about J cinema is how complex subjects can be shown in a strange emotional manner, the humanism on the character construction… and of course, blunt gore/violence. I haven’t watched many Kitano yakuza films (lack of access to ‘em and I’m broke as shit – and he did some other stuff too) but I really like the guy. But I noticed that some of those films have a tendency of almost glamourize the yakuza. Fortunally the complex nature of the characters shown on his films manage to show the reality of the yakuza and crime life.

Didn’t get the chance to watch and appreciate this one yet. I like to watch movies from Nihon, cause I get to connect with the roots of my family and ancestors. The only thing I dilsike is when criminal life is glamourized (no surprise there, yakuza controls part of the industry). The way you describe this one appears to me that Kitano is not only trying to please his public, but also show that yakuza is all about blood shed and narcisitic violence (along with his dark sense of humor). It feels more like Kitano displaying yakuza as what really is. He’s just showing off the nature of the beast. That one I’ll look foward to watch.

Wish movie critics had your colorful language. I use a site for game critics that I agree 99% of the time. Now, I have a place to get film critics the way I like and propably agree 99% of the time as well.

Best wishes…

B.H.

PS: didn’t had the time to check the previous posts, any chance you also talk about anime?

Have you seen Lars von Trier’s Melancholia? It’s similarly themed — well, a planet approaches…. Gainsbourg and Dunst are on top of their acting form — the movie itself is rather bloated — I haven’t seen Another Earth yet…

Fair comment, I like the odd Hollywood movie, I just wish they would make something original. It seems like all they do is foul up decent movies with remakes, like [REC], A Tale of Two Sisters, Shutter etc. Anywho Have a good christmas & I love your blog.

no need to apologize! the main reason why i created this blog in case it wasn’t obvious is because i LOVE asian cinema and pretty much hate western film. but every now and then i like to diversify :)

Sorry I’m a genre snob. It was better than Paranormal Activity, I will say that for it. But you know the score Hollywood make Twilight, Asia makes Thirst! America has lost it’s way with scary movies. I will get off my soapbox now. Glad you enjoyed it.

Sorry but this movie sucked the farts out of roadkill. I have seen scarier episodes of Scooby Doo, the darth maul entity was lame & the end had me in tears of laughter. I know you are a fan of asian movies, have you seen Noroi (the curse) now that is a truly creepy movie that really gets under your skin.
