      Under the guise of a story of pure love, the reality of bloody, violent eroticism

      The film is directed by Japanese film master Takashi Miike. His works are known for their bloody killing, pornography, and black humorous hybrid style, which brings a sadistic and refreshing look to the audience.

      For example, "The Underworld Trilogy", "Shinjuku Underworld", "Ukaku Underworld" and "Japanese Underworld",

      The...

      First Love (First Love, Takashi Miike, 2019):

      Sure enough, Takashi Miike, who was back on track, didn’t let me down. His head was chopped off within two minutes of the opening. The montage editing was done with the popular boxer played by Masataka Kubota to overthrow his opponents, setting the film’s crazy pace along the way. In "First Love", use your head to think about the surroundings and no longer work. Faced with unexpected bad conditions, the characters will suddenly fall into unconscious "sluggishness" for a few seconds, as if...

      On the way to crack down on the dark, some people like to be vigorous and resolute, and some like "Wen Huo Liang Soup"

      First of all, congratulations to Director Miike for getting out of a bunch of comic movies, but no matter how you watch this new film, there is always a sense of confusion about the text. After all, compared to the bloody fighting scenes in the movie, the emotional drama between the hero and the hero is really the same. Too pale and embarrassing. Perhaps the word "first love" seems to...

      First love

      The hero was a boxer. Then one day he punched and he fainted. He obviously didn’t have a heavy punch. Then he ran to the hospital for a check. It turned out that he had a tumor in his head and how long he could live. There is no way to be sure, then the male protagonist walked sadly on the road, and then another group of people, a policeman and a gang member, prepared to collude, grabbed a bag of white powder from the gang, and then the police sold it again, and there was a...

      Miike should take a good look at this kind of bloody and violent film, so that even if it doesn't look good, it won't be too ugly. What have you been filming over the...

      The gangster comedy is probably quite "pure love" for director Miike. This is actually more like a group drama, each character has its own characteristics, but the protagonist seems to be marginal in the whole story, although the boxer Masa Very handsome, but there is not much room for this role to play. The most prominent one is Someya. This kind of role playing handsome all the way and finally overturning is so suitable for him hahaha... I still have to thank Director Miike for realizing the...

    Evaluation action

    Director Miike probably wanted to tell an innocent story, but when Leo and Monica, the young boys and girls who met in Kabukicho playing old-school encounters, were caught in the whirlpool of gang conspiracy, this "Tokyo Love Story" is obviously not more old-school. The gangs fighting each other are attractive. Miike ignores the plot logic and makes all the narratives serve the overall typographical style of the film, that is,...
