What is "flying flesh and blood"
Generally speaking, there are as many kinds of chefs as there are flavors. There are as many kinds of directors as there are audiences.
The taste of the masses is the main drama of the screen, which represents the preferences of the general masses. However, it is often the screen that looks true, good and beautiful, but the actual life is bitter and tearful. Therefore, there are always people who think that the taste of popular dishes is the same as chewing wax.
Therefore, there is a type of movie that is always not afraid of performing weird and terrifying. For example, the so-called " banned film ", or " flesh and blood series ". Although the taste is abnormal and easy to cause rejection, it has never lacked fans.
Here we must solemnly mention the "flesh and blood" type. The so-called "flesh and blood flying" is because of the slaughter and the intestinal blockage of blood flow . But "Flying Flesh and Blood" is a kind of gratitude and enmity in the end. It's not that films like the "Guinea Pig Series" are mentally tortured, but they are more concerned with mobilizing the most primitive nerves of mankind and venting the desire for violence.
In most cases, "Flood and Flesh" is full of strong Cult colors, often based on nonsensical logic and stand-off killings. And enthusiastic about the sensory impact brought by the fall technique, such as blond hair and blood, girls and idiots, school uniforms and chainsaws; even with a delicate appearance, they can't escape the hideous slaughterhouse.
What followed is blood flow like injections and stumps flying, the human body is filled with high-pressure blood pumps, once cut, it is like a porous fountain, staged a bloody feast.
"Flesh" may be considered as B-class sheet in extreme types, the element B is the purified product grade. The B-level films were born out of noir films and experimental films . Therefore, "Flood and Flesh" retains certain specific elements of this type of film, namely: gloom, grotesque, ridicule, and no salvation.
The silver screen in the 1960s set off a craze for the flesh and blood series. One of the best, Herschel Gordon Lewis , opened the scene with a "Blood Banquet" with the theme of blood and internal organs . Since then, the inheritance of this series has been carried forward.
Actual B-level films have always been willing to enhance rendering with flesh and blood elements. For example, Hong Kong's "The King of Power" is a lightweight "flying flesh and blood".
The Feast of Flesh and Flesh has been technically promoted in the generations of Peter Jackson and Cronenberg , and Jackson has created the prestigious "The World of Corpses Played" .
With a full screen of plasma, internal organs, and flesh and blood stripping, this film has achieved the charm of making the audience rather tolerate gastrointestinal discomfort than leaving the scene. Even if Jackson later filmed the world-renowned "Lord of the Rings" , he was considered to have failed to surpass the former.
Japan has become another fertile ground for "flying flesh and blood", and despite its late start, it is particularly brilliant. If Hollywood pursues black and violence, Japan is more anime-style exaggeration.
More people will remember that there was a "Machine Gun Girl" that showed people the fusion of an innocent girl and a Gatling gun, a bra as a steel weapon, and a chainsaw connected to a broken arm.
In this regard, the "flesh and blood series" appeared explosively in Japan, such as "Hell Knight", "Millennium Duel", "Vampire Girl vs. Fran Dunstan", etc. Among them, the masterpiece is: "Tokyo Cruel Police" .
Tokyo! Biochemical city Tokyo!
"Tokyo Cruel Police" gathers all the iconic elements of the flesh and blood series, such as manga facial makeup, mutation, school uniform, wretched man, anti-humanity, religion, etc.
Its background is similar to "Special Police Judge" or "Sin City", a society between anarchy and despotism, where force and authority have become the masters of this world. In it, you can see mocking imitations of Hollywood elements, such as a news briefing similar to "Robocop" as the opening, and the conscription advertisement in "Star Wars".
At that time, Tokyo's commerce was highly free, and administrative institutions were privatized. The police station has become a private institution and has more power to make decisions.
At the same time, the city contains evil, and the biggest hidden danger is the mutant (remoulded person) among the crowded people. They have been genetically modified into biochemical weapons, violent and changeable.
The protagonist, Ruka, is a transformative hunter in the police force. She looks cold and brave. On the day of his birthday, he had just completed the killing of 50 people.
However, she has a knot: her father was a policeman who was assassinated in a large court when she was a child. The culprit of this incident has not yet been found.
Ruka maintains an ascetic life, unsmiling and solitary. In the process of hunting and transforming people, she found the man behind the whole thing: the engineer . This engineer opened the code of human genetic mutation with the tumor key, and transformed normal people into mutation killers.
From the engineer, Ruka learned more about the inside story of his father's murder: his death was related to the police private ownership incident, and the engineer and her father were both implicated.
The engineer brought a chaos to the police station, and the police station got out of control. At the same time, the expanded power allowed the police to carry out the massacre of the innocent. Tokyo has a greater crisis than reforming people. In this turmoil, the infiltration of mutants became more and more serious, and eventually even Ruka was implanted with a gene key...
Mutant brain
"Tokyo Cruel Police" is the product of a sudden change in the mind. Its background setting is completely out of our world logic, surpassing all similar films in Japan with wild imagination. It has a highly original background. Except for the director's early work "Extinction Anatomy", this movie has almost no material blueprint.
It has a strong Japanese manga style: a world with apocalyptic colors, people are at the extremes of cynicism and manic depression, and society has almost wiped out the boundary between good and evil.
In this movie's important institution-the Metropolitan Police Department, it is full of military command. The police car is decorated with a kiss dome, the chief of the police wears a Warring States helmet, and the policewomen wear a ship-shaped military cap, which makes them more like samurai and mercenaries than police. This is precisely the privatized judicial institution.
Character setting is a major feature of "Tokyo Cruel Police". The consciousness and behavior of each character has no specific purpose, but is full of primitive violent desires. The most representative figure is the "dog girl" raised by the superintendent . ——A violent creature between transforming people and machinery, beasts and maidens. She was ruined, but she moved quickly. She wears SM-like attire all over her body and a face mask connected to a breathing tube.
In addition to the role setting, "Tokyo Cruel Police" deliberately creates disorder and indulgence in the plot, bringing a unique nasty and narrow meaning: such as the suicide advertisement on TV; the headshot father; the finger cake maker Coroner; and police officers with genital mutations.
These elements create a strong Japanese subculture atmosphere, and the peak of this creativity is the mutant club scene, where you can see the customization of the mutant: puppets swallowing eyeballs, women with breasts closed by teeth; snail boarding Body; and equipment-based human body stools.
And these abnormal settings have pushed the original fetish pornography in the Japanese subculture to the extreme.
It was from this scene that the screenwriter’s imagination became uncontrollable: the police picked a mutated woman to receive sexual services in the club, but her genitals were bitten off. When the woman was knocked off her lower body, a giant crocodile mouth appeared from her waist.
This is the Japanese-style sweet and hideous drop visual effect, and the gentle face is connected to the bloody mouth. This inevitably reminds people of "Zombie's Butt"-the same evil parasite, the same graceful girl. —— Japanese creators can spare no effort in destroying innocence.
In the end, the policemen's genitals mutated into cannons, so that they returned to the police station to kill wantonly.
All these settings no longer belong to the category of imagination, but the category of brain diseases. Only the brain under genetic mutations can conceive such crazy and humorous elements.
Anime Wind and Hell's Flower
Most of the "Flesh and Flesh Series" manifests a kind of intuitive violence and logical disorder. Its logic is primitive violence and killing, and people always tend to self-destruct. For example, mutants kill the police, the police kill the people, and the people tortured each other.
However, compared to other similar movies, "Tokyo Cruel Police" has a more complete system. It can be regarded as an anti-hero movie: the power of a hero comes from hell, but it ultimately punishes evil.
Evil and justice are not so strictly divided. This is the climax of the film. ——When Ruka, the mutant killer himself, was mutated, the Demon Hunter combined the power of mutation and brought a comic-style heroism of tooth for tooth.
This is the most pleasant part of the Flesh and Blood series. When Ruka returns to the police station with his new identity, the whole story takes a turn for the better. When two policemen were killing people on the road and piling up their debris, Ruka's police car broke through their corpse mountain. They shot at Ruka, but mutant eyes grew out of the eye sockets they were hit, and they killed the two policemen in the way of mutants.
Another scene showing the power of demons is that Ruka eventually became the new owner of the dog girl after defeating the dog girl with a katana on her limbs, and installed her broken limbs with M-16.
The shot of the two before the police station is an iconic comic composition. The blood penetrated the Metropolitan Police Department building, and mutant Ruka and Dogwoman stood in front of the police car again, representing the new force of maintaining order. When she drew out the katana, the awe-inspiring spirit of killing was presented to this mutant policeman who was a combination of good and evil.
This is evil justice, and the messenger of hell can also become a knight of justice and a power to declare war on Satan. Just like Blade, Soul Knight, Reborn, and Hellboy, Ruka has also become a member of this rank.
Nishimura Yoshihiro and Shiina Eihime
"Tokyo Cruel Police" is a masterpiece of the Japanese series of flying flesh and blood, and its success should be attributed to the two famous "different movie" characters, Nishimura Yoshihiro and Shiina Eihime.
Director Hiroshi Nishimura has been obsessed with creating grotesque movies for many years and is a pioneer in this field. Although this type of movie will neither bring huge profits nor praise, Nishimura has never been able to move forward on this road and enjoy it. He always allows people to appreciate the unbridled pleasure and catharsis in the "Flesh and Blood Series".
In addition, Eihime Shiina , the actor of Ruka in the film, is also a long-term queen role of a different kind of film. Because of his natural cold and psychic atmosphere, he appeared in "Household Conference 1998" and "Cut Skin No. The two films "Love 1999" entered the screen with a slanting forward attitude, and since then became a long-term collaborator of Nishimura Hiroki.
It is precisely because of characters like Shiina Eihime and Nishimura Yoshihiro who resonate in inspiration and are aspiring to create B-level films, they created the pinnacle of the "Tokyo Brutal Police" series of flesh and blood.
However, since the B-level film is not used to explore the depth of rationality, its technical quality cannot be exacted. They are more to indicate the rebellious attitude towards the popular, to show the underlying consciousness of human beings, to amplify the irrational characteristics in it, or even to create just to release one's own imagination.
And "Tokyo Cruel Police" is a leader in the B-rated film, which is destined to be not a pleasing film, and it is not responsible for any culture or morals. If you want to look for a good look on the screen and maintain a fresh quality in life, then try not to get involved in such films, because the unbearable images will tear your innocence like sharp claws. .
But for the bones, the mavericks are amazing. You can enjoy the blood and the jokes in your body with a smile.
The so-called depth of pleasing, the depth of hatred. For cruel art, either accept it or avoid it.
