    Character Evaluation

    Takashi Miike is famous for gang violence films. His violent language is intuitively vented through the lens. The violent images touch your nerves with naked wounds, almost obsessively describing the pleasure of blood rushing, and with an inexplicable worship. Takashi Miike vividly portrays the feeling of pain, and deliberately over-emphasizes the faintly realistic component of blood spurting, showing black humor in the cult blood. This style of his was later continued in "Sashiuya 1". In the film, Takashi Miike not only outlines the bleeding outline with black lines, but also adds a warm pink tone to the film. He never avoids embarrassing topics, and also uses black brushstrokes . 
    The overwhelming Japanese cult films and the new wave of pink have undoubtedly become Takashi Miike's best weapons to challenge the traditional big screen. His unconstrained imagination has become more and more advantageous under the inducement of various heterochromatic images. From the beginning of his offbeat pioneering in gangster movies, until he later gave up gang movies and turned to pure cult movies. But his lens language has always been within the tolerance of the mass audience. In other words, his contribution is that he has simplified Tsukamoto's sharp cult concept and the pink images of Sase Keihisa and others, and brought it to the general audience with a more vivid and popular lens. Takashi Miike's interest in blood and killing has been shown in several completely different styles. He not only inherited Tsukamoto's aesthetic concept of treating the flesh as the material of metal circuit tubes, but also blended the painless feeling and black humor of Ryuhei Kitamura pulling internal organs. At the same time, he also borrowed from Kazuyoshi Kumakiri 's description of violent realism. .

      Its cheesy touched me deeply

      I give this movie five stars without having seen the original.

      After reading it, I hurriedly called my friend with tears in my eyes. I'd say it's a cheesey-to-the-end film, a 80s fashion film made with 21st century standards. The singing and dancing in the middle looked goosebumps all over. Modern...

      keeping mum warm family comedy

      There are a few movies that don't seem to be made by Sanchi, "China's Birdman", "Ghost Xiaozhu".
      However, after watching "The Uninvited Guest Q", you can know that Miike is actually a director who is surly on the outside but full of warmth in his heart. Coincidentally, the director Shinya Tsukamoto...
