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 afternoon. "Izang", I have been immersed in the disgusting blood of small Japan almost BT, unable to extricate myself. Fortunately, there are still some plots in the first few films as support, at least I am not confused. And this somewhat surreal film, which was described by screenwriter Wu Zhi Jin Dian as "beyond "The Matrix" and challenge the future, has no plot at all, except for killing or killing, which really confused me. It seems that I only deserve to watch commercial films with simple plots. As the saying goes: Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing. I haven't fallen to the point where I don't know how to pretend to be deep. To be honest, although I didn't understand Wong Kar-wai's "2046" very well, at least I felt a little emotional, and the only feeling this "Izang" can bring me is nausea. describe. The most direct thing the film brings to the audience is a kind of sensory stimulation, which integrates the horror and pleasure brought by violence, as well as the kind of deep sadness, and this is also the most important part of the film "Yi Zang". Shocking place.
The story of "Izang" took place in 1865 (the first year of the Qingguang era in Japan), but the film shows us a world that does not seem to belong to human beings in time and space. The killing machine can even control time and space. The samurai Okada Izo (played by Ichiya Nakayama) 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 name of "acting for the sky", and was gifted by the world. A terrifying nickname - "The Executioner Izang". Although it is said that the current society is peaceful and peaceful, there is still no lack of domination by powerful powers. This movie is to draw out a sword for the sake of these corruptions! No matter what obstacles he encounters, Yi Zang will be able to kill him with extreme cruelty and show no mercy. Including his closest person, his mother.
At first, I planned to use numbers to record how many people Izo, who was dominated by belief, could kill, but finally I chose to give up, because I really couldn't bear to record it. But I didn't turn off the TV, I could only let Zang waving the butcher's knife in my hand again and again in the torment of my heart to deprive others of the right to life. Fortunately, no vomiting.
Directed by Andrew Nicol and starring Nicolas Cage, Lord of War was the second film I watched yesterday. This film, which is actually 100 times bloodier than "Izang", is so careless under the handling of Yankee Art China. People die inadvertently, but we are as unaware as the protagonist. It can be seen that Yankee's interpretation of blood is much more than that of little Japanese art. In war, people are so vulnerable. War can only bring us pain, but Yuri Orlov, the protagonist of the film, has tasted joy from war. When Yuri was a child, he moved with his family from Ukraine to the United States. In this country full of adventure and opportunity, he began to gradually learn how to use his wits and lies to gain a chance to survive and thrive. On one occasion, Yuri witnessed a street shootout between two Russian gangsters, which made him realize that human beings have a desire for hatred and slaughter in addition to the instinct to eat. This is a turning point in his life, because from this day Since he left his parents' restaurant, he took his younger brother Whitley to start a weapons business, and since then he has embarked on a road of no return...
The name "Lord of War" actually has a strong irony in itself. It reveals the inside story of international arms smuggling, and presents to the audience the shady stories of unknown massacres, wars, aggression, and conspiracies, so that people can understand the international landscape from the perspective of an arms dealer in this arms whirlpool. Political wrangling and personal destiny.
Maybe this is the so-called cultural difference between Eastern and Western countries. Little Japan has always tried its best to use the camera to convey their understanding of violence, and the fact that Yankee did pass blood makes people feel extremely shocked. If I had to choose, I wouldn't hesitate to Uncle Sam because I don't want to waste food and soil the floor after a meal. Perhaps the most direct reason for this difference is closely related to the atomic bomb incident. Of course, this is just my personal guess, an unfounded guess...
