2004

(turning around and waving the chalk, swish and swish a line in English, "Great Teacher Sheng", with an amiable smile)

The children in the audience sit down obediently. Today I'm going to talk about how a blind man uses his cane to create light and beauty The story of a new life... (was killed by the PTA and stepped down)

(He looked back in grievance, but he didn't say anything wrong, this was originally about... I glanced at the murderous crowd around from the corner of my eyes, and automatically kept my mouth shut) If

I want to say it, though He kept saying that the value of a man lies in talent rather than appearance. The truth is that he completely surrendered to Mr. Kitano's movie before admitting it from the bottom of his heart. One day, he brought up a boring topic at the dinner table at a friend's house. Talking about movies casually, soon began to go crazy again.

"Last time we saw an Oji-san who looked like Kitano Takeshi on the street..." Before the nympho was halfway through, he met a sinister smile.

"Mmmm this~~"

"I remember someone said something like Kitano Takeshi is too handsome..."

"Hmmm that~~"

Runaway, why do you remember such words so clearly.

"Hehe, hehe, it's talent, talent." He laughed a few times and plunged into his job.

Of course, the latest production of "Zatoichi" in 2003 has become a movie that I have been thinking about for half a year. Just as when I learned that FOTR had won the 11 Oscar gold awards, the first thought that popped into my mind was how to understand the mother who has always been so devoted to Oscar, because she loves it, so she doesn't care about other people's evaluations at all. (Hum hum hum... Those who dare to say that adult movies are boring will shut up and think about the past)

In line with the professionalism of the loyal fans, I have already made up for the information about "Zatoichi" before watching the film, and I can recite the original works with my eyes closed. I'm still uneasy, after all, the costume films that Kitano has ever filmed are only one "Royal Law". That's right, it was the black skin that came out of the golden camel and played the "Royal Law", which was supervised by Takeshi Kitano, no matter how big it is. Shima Nagisa is also a well-known figure in the international film circle. It is really unreasonable to treat his 13-year comeback like this. And Kitano's interpretation of Hijikata Suishan... It's not that there is anything wrong with the image of the cold-faced uncle, but Hijikata in "The Imperial Law" is obviously closer to the feeling of a counselor rather than a samurai.

However, if you want to say that you don't have confidence in Kitano-sama, you can't even forgive yourself.

It's one thing to like it, but the movies that you love are often not the best but can give people special touches in subtleties. When asked about his feelings about the three "Godfather" movies, his answer is always the same "movies". It’s really perfect, I like it absolutely, but it’s not the kind that makes my heart flutter.” If I just liked Takeshi Kitano's films at first, when I saw the various perverted ways in which he wore a clown costume to "punish" the guests in variety shows, the feeling undoubtedly turned into an infatuation. Now, of course, I can still confidently say that I like the beautiful boy, but... the uncle also said it in a really stylish way~~ (blushes)
(the audience vomited)

Whether it is comic-like camera language, concise and short lines, fresh The smooth soundtrack, the exquisite portrayal of the details, or the very distinctive "Kitano Blue", Takeshi Kitano's films are each with a distinctive style that is deeply branded by "made by takeshi", and will always be a big hit. The words "Supervising the script compilation Kitano Takeshi" at the beginning and end of the film have been described as like a serious epitaph, but I personally tend to be a combination of hard-line style and appropriate determination. To a certain extent, Takeshi Kitano, who has no box office appeal in Japan, is just as sure of what kind of movie he is making, just like the characters in his films who understand what he is doing and are dedicated to it.

Cruelty and tenderness coexist, seriousness and banter are intertwined, and the unusually contradictory styles are unified in a clear context, integrating a dizzying and poignant beauty, which constitutes the special charm of Kitano's films.

The thick ink "human" on the background turns into a human figure, slashing and stabbing the knife falling like the wind, the three characters "xiu", "broken" and "li" come out one after another, draw the knife and turn around, breaking half of the screen The ink is dripping, and they are also involved in the circle. The camera suddenly turns, and the Japanese sword on the white background flashes like a thunderbolt.
"Zato City".
(The voice-over sounded slightly, please... Excuse me, what is this... What is this... Ann, I don't know if this is the opening of "Zatoichi" in the "Warring States Warriors" version?... I was kicked Turn over...)

The real situation is actually like this. The blind uncle with blond hair and flat head was sitting on the side of the road to rest. Later, a little kid was instigated by the bad guy to take his knife. , so they swarmed up and wanted to cut the uncle into a hornet's nest. It was too late, but the time was fast. The uncle drew his knife and rushed like lightning. Several knife flowers broke the encirclement, staggered flying, broken arms and split heads, and blood rained in the sky. (Criticize, the CG texture of blood is too bad) After a fierce battle, the uncle stood in the pile of dead bodies with a cane and a knife, looking up at the sky, facing the setting sun like blood, he couldn't help but sigh, "まだまだだね". (Too much to talk about, kuso is just addictive)

When it comes to the image of Japanese swordsmen, the first thing that usually comes to mind is not the Sakuragi version of Miyamoto Musashi, or the Xiandao version of Treasure Inshun Yinshun, (you watch and even mention the deep Zuo Jinji's. "Devil Reincarnation") is not even the super-popular Dwarf Bean Ding Feicun Kenshin, who combines the dual identities of the new generation of family masters and the executioner at the end of the curtain, or the generation of Kuanzhai, who has wolf-like cold and sharp eyes and implements the belief of "evil is slaying". Fuji one. It's...but...(The unbearable nightmare memory comes to my mind) The real manju show of the legendary swordsman Okita Soji, who died young... (But Shinji Takeda's smile is not so cute.) The blond uncle and tap dance I saw earlier in the trailer really convinced me with their undisputed subversive attitude. This... It turns out that such a swordsman can also work. On the screen, Lord Kitano is as expressionless as ever, occasionally He twitched half of his stiff face, and raised his fingers to one, two, three, four, five, and it seemed that he could count the number of lines in his lines, so he was so handsome and such words blurted out in an instant. (Looking around, fortunately no one)

I always feel that it is a very extravagant thing to say the plot of Qing Kitano's film, that is not to say how difficult it will be to sum it up. "Summer of Kijiro" is about three thousand miles to find his mother, "Brother" is about the destruction of a gangster boss. "Kids Return" is a memoir of a teenager's growth on the surface. Although you will appreciate the unexpected twists and turns, what you can't really forget is the light weight lifting where the water flows. There is no complete sadness and joy, only one kind that seems to be able to penetrate slowly. The emotions that enter the pores, frown slightly when smiling knowingly, and the corners of the lips are upturned when lost, time and space are swaying back and forth between the stillness of the frozen frame and the blue sea and blue sky that suddenly fly, the completeness of the appearance is lost and useless. The resting segment cuts the rest period outside the large blank of adult life.

That kind of feeling, many years ago, used to call it amazing.

In the same line, from the martial arts of the East to the knights of the West, and even the popular fantasy in modern times, they still follow the PK-LVUP-PK-LVUP-... The law of defeating the final Boss, this law is also perfectly explained The reason why "Dragon Quest" can become a Japanese national RPG and the reason why the Red Deer Prince is the ultimate BT in the universe. (What the hell am I talking about...) So... time, pre-Meiji anyway; location, a small town anyway, characters, blind monk and masseuse one, geisha sister and brother two (yes, sister and brother, D disc Shang obviously has a problem with his vision), the first gambler, the first Luotuo samurai, the villain and the gangsters behind the scenes; the story...does anyone really want to read it and write it down
... It's really...it's so boring...)

Turn around and return to the details that are often appreciated by the festival. This time, the representatives such as the wrestling that came to an abrupt end in the rhythm of Hip-hop's farming, the uncle of the gambler's women's clothing model, and the beauty of Tachibana Daigoro's DD Gu Pansheng. The dance posture, (this is the drool... It's a pity Takarazuka said) and the clanging drums in the cheerful atmosphere of the violin at the end of the film, on the surface, seems to be no longer as heavy as Kitano's usual heavy, and even lost the "Kiujiro no." In "Summer", the bitterness of the twitching from time to time. The reason for commenting that this "Zatoichi" is not like Kitano's film, first of all, it is the change from the comic storyboard to the real movie scene, and then I am afraid it is a bright and vibrant atmosphere, and even the scattered blood colors are fresh and bright a feeling of. The tap dance at the end of the film is naturally a classic, but what really reflects Kitano's style is this seemingly pure kuso line, "Even if my eyes are wide open, I can't see anything".

According to Takeshi Kitano, "The challenge is not film technology, but about the memory of a nation." After the filming started, it also received numerous protests from the original fan, and the final image still seemed to be a taciturn gamble. Nian Oji-san is not so much the Kitano version of Zatoichi, but the Zatoichi version of Kitano Takeshi. For the description of middle-aged people, from Miyazaki's only red pig Porco to Kitano's Kijiro, no matter what kind of boring situation you face, no matter what pursuit you have in life, you can clearly understand your own Powerlessness, or in other words, such helplessness, is the world of middle-aged people. However, in the actual helplessness, a completely unrealistic impulse can arise. Even if the method is extreme, it can indeed make people feel that "life can be like this". The uncles who make unremitting efforts in one thing are the images that they have always liked. (It's already Obasan's tone...)

I like it for similar reasons, and there is exactly one cartoonist who draws the passionate sports life of middle school students, but undoubtedly needs a slightly older age to better understand his works. Anda charge. There are narrations such as "What are you burning?" "Burning my youth." "Then why don't you also burn those pornographic books under your bed?" "No, that's my life." This kind of young man There are countless images of middle-aged lecherous uncles on the side of his lines. That kind of mood can be described in two sentences: "I am a little lecherous, yes, but my heart is still very kind." and "I am a little older. That's right. But I'm still young at heart."

Hopelessly in love, that's what it feels like.
