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 people also use singing and dancing, but modern people are usually busy dressing up in literature and art, and they are busy dressing up as tacky, which is very remarkable.
I found a portrait of Fellini in the toilet of a friend's house, which inspired me a lot. I think I'm going to hang a director's portrait on the wall in my new home too, I was hesitant among several directors before. After watching this film, I finally decided that I should put up a portrait of Miike Chongshi in black and white, and write that Miike Chongshi will be immortal.
As an avid fan of cult films, Takashi Miike, the king of perverts in the country of perverts, can sting my nerves and touch my heart the most. For me, Cult films have never been as simple as bold rebellion, let alone bloody eroticism and fear. From "Love to the Skin" to "Visitor Q" to "Izang", for my connotation control, only Takashi Miike can touch me in terms of thought, vision, and values at the same time. It is difficult to make a cult film. With the liberation of human nature, the non-mainstream gradually becomes the mainstream. Finally, one day, when darkness, sex, and violence become the norm, we watch a model show, and we say, fuck it, this is the real cult movie.
I am a very dark person (commonly known as cool), and I am also a very optimistic person (commonly known as stupid). I advocate ideals but I like to compromise with reality. So, in a way, I think I found myself in Miike. I swore to watch all of his films, the fringe who reigns supreme in an alternative country and is exquisite in the mainstream world. I think Takashi Miike is not just as simple as the "inner warmth" introduced everywhere. I think he has always been a bright and ideal person. He is too bright and will be numb with pain because of the filth of reality.
So you just prick my finger with a needle and we don't feel pain. It's not that we're trying to provoke you on purpose.
Watching this "Ghost Building" reminds me of "Kiujiro's Summer" that I've watched 10,000 times, all because I know its director's background and cherish the love and optimism it wants to express, the one in the dark tunnel. , you may not see the endless sunny sky that surrounds you. Of course, "Ghost Xiaozhu" is nonsensical, and its alternative comes from its tacky, but these can't stop my tears. In the last scene, the painstakingly managed house was destroyed by the eruption of the volcano, but the family members excitedly pointed to the other side and said, look, how beautiful the natural scenery is after the volcano. When his grandfather died, his family surrounded him. They didn't cry because Grandpa had ascended to heaven, they jumped up and cheered: Yay!
I don't know why the Chinese name of this film is called "Ghost Xiaozhu". The whole film is about the happiness of the Kata Kuri family as the original title. How does happiness come? Made of the heart.
