Copyright movie being so unique , yet is able to hung tags for a particular film. Whether it’s a movie , ” Tarantino ” or ” Cohen ” , the viewer is certainly prepared , recognizes the style of the film and will be waiting to see in advance the far-fetched plot twists . Japan is renowned for its originality in almost all spheres of life continues to this case and in the movies. Most Japanese filmmakers come up with original stories so that they can hardly be attributed to any particular genre either . Here and there , in this film are often in many moments , expressed or shown such dialogues are places that you wonder about what you’re watching , and why are you doing this ?
Not wanting to obey the canons of Western film plot , Ishii creates its own genre that is hard to describe in words but can be an endless amount of time to review and each time find something new . A sort of ” cheerful nonsense ” definitely will not taste all accustomed to one type of film , and those who do not depend on the imposed rules will appreciate it . The film is an exciting thriller , stylish and original .
Playing the main actors, Tadanobu Asano and C Kohinata , looks directly at the background of a motley gang of yakuza . But it is possible to allocate Tatsuyu Gasyuina that probably the most “strange” in this film and its unusual game, has become synonymous with this kind of movie.
