      Little Japan and Yankee's Artistic Interpretation of Gore

      He killed everyone in the film except him, men, women, adults, children, good people, bad people, he even killed his own mother, when he killed the last one, he He was actually dead, and when he killed everyone who stood in his way with his knife, he also killed himself.

      Little Japan made me speechless again, from Fukasaku Shinji's "Battle Royale", Kitano Takeshi's "Zatoichi", to Kitano Ryuhei's "Hundred People Killing Girls", and then to the Miike Takashi I watched yesterday...

      simply put

      I think, as a film, it is first for people to see, not for critics to analyze.

      What the meaning of violent and bloody human existence, what Foucault, Sartre, and libidinal instincts all give me the fuck.

      To put it simply, I think Miike got shit in his head when he made this movie. Yes, he has made so many films, it seems to be more than 60. Even if it is to repay the mortgage, as a famous director, he spends money on investment companies, and makes ordinary people willingly...

      Smash, don't look

      First of all, I don't recommend this movie. It's a very dirty subject. If I can see that it belongs to Takashi Miike, I might not touch it. Although it's not too bad, I really don't like it and quit it.
       
      This is a killing movie. The protagonist ends the lives of more than 200 people by traveling through time and space. As for the center, I personally think it is a criticism of Japan's own militarism and an existential discussion. It may be too much to express. There are too many, so...

      Film perception - Yi Zang

      This can be regarded as an extreme experience, the beast-like slaughtering, violent and bloody, the animal nature is satisfied, after the growing pleasure and wanton catharsis, the blood quickly cools down, even colder than raw. Some movies are never used for sharing. What you see and what you get can only be a matter of opinion.
         "Izang" is a series of battles throughout, and when such violence is being fought against violence, the plot does not need to be too much. The background time...

      This is the best movie I've ever seen

      Takashi Miike's film is very bold, full of dissatisfaction with today's social system, and the strangely sad and indignant ballads seem leisurely in the midst of wanton slaughter! Full of joy. Yi Zang shuttles through various eras with the same pleasure and revenge as always! It just shows the eternal critical spirit of those reformers in various historical eras! To hide not to fear death also represents the bravery of generations of critics! When you meet a god, kill a god, when you meet a...

      In the form of drama, the sense of camera and narration are very poor, and it feels blocked and not smooth from time to time. And what the screenwriter said about "beyond the Matrix and challenge the future of mankind" is just a big and empty Japanese-style questioning. Is watching this film just for the sake of listening to the Noh opera singing to raise eternal doubts? ....

    Movie plot

    In 1865, the first year of Qingguang in Japan.
      This is a world that does not seem to belong to human beings. The aristocratic organization with the highest power not only cultivates murderous killing machines, but also controls time and space.
      The samurai Okada Izo ( Nakayama Ichiya ) is a killing machine. He was manipulated by the leader of the Tosa Qin Imperial Party, Takeshi Banping Tai, and assassinated many dignitaries in the...
