    Being 5 minutes late, and the faces of men who feel all the same, I didn't understand it at all for the first half hour, and then I entered the state after another half an hour. I found the feeling in the last hour. This is the violent aesthetics that Kitano Takeshi and Yao Jingjing appreciate, although the style of the whole film is Not the kind I like, but the soundtrack is just right, it feels great, and the big drum and dance at the end reminds me of a similar scene in bullets...

    The blood splattered every time the knife was cut was so beautiful, and the music in front of it was really awesome to match the farming. I didn't think too much about the last dance at all. I thought it was Kitano Takeshi joking around, showing how talented and capable he was by the way, making you think he was so narcissistic about what he wanted to...

    Just talk about it 1. Uncle Kitano Takeshi is really stylish 2. He is too ugly, and the fake mother is evil 3. Those sections of folk music should be professional, it looks very painful if the rhythm is not correct 4. It turns out that Japan is a big country of tap dance 5. From the cover In the section of the house, you can see the traces of Master Shiyun Mayer 6. I don’t know much about Takeshi Kitano, and the next few shots are so strange. 7. It turns out that Takeshi Kitano is talking about...

    It's a cliché story, but with a little bit of Kitano's humor, it doesn't look boring. But the last paragraph is a bit too shocking. Did the happy ending of "The Poor Man" learn from...

    Yesterday, I watched a documentary about the ocean. Speaking of humpback whales, I suddenly thought of Zatou City. I thought I had never watched this movie, so let’s watch it. Then I realized that Zatoichi was not the name of a city....

    It can be regarded as the best representative of Kitano Takeshi and all his works, which are both good and evil. A fusion of violence and comedy, it has the shape of a traditional samurai movie, but it is also deconstructed. In the era of broken rituals and broken music, the so-called warrior spirit of the samurai has long since fallen into the dust. Taking a savior's attitude, Kitano Takeshi not only brought the town back to singing and dancing (the tap dance section of the curtain call at the...

    In fact, the heroes of each country or nation are the incarnation of their own consciousness. Zatoichi, both helping the weak and doing good, is fierce and murderous like a tiger, which is not exactly like Benedict's description of the Japanese nation "Chrysanthemum and the Sword". F: The old man Takeshi Kitano just knows how to play, mixed with all kinds of bad tastes, and the bird man of "The Wife Killing Story", no matter how serious this guy plays, in my eyes, he is still the...

    【B+】Otherwise, let Takeshi Kitano film the live-action version of "Chaos Warriors"! The hiphop-style soundtrack is cut with very rhythmic shots (especially the two parts of the farmer's uncle hoeing the land and building a house, just to show the sense of rhythm), plus the very spoofed Japanese kimono tap dance at the end , I have to wonder if Takeshi Kitano wanted to make samurai comedy in the first place. The action design is clean and neat, and most of them are one move to defeat the enemy,...

    [Exhibition at the China Film Archive] Film version. The outer shell is the legend of the Japanese blind swordsman, and the inner core is a typical Kitano-style violent gangster film. Violent blood plasma action scenes are exaggerated like Quentin movies, and with comedy elements embellished, the music rhythm and the picture are perfectly matched. The old man played very high. Even if the modern tap dance at the end of the film looks good, it is superfluous. Maybe it is just to tell the...
