Tribute to cult movies

Another hilarious movie. "Sukiyaki Western" from Takashi Miike. The unique cult flavor filled the audience, reminding me vaguely of the Westerns I watched at home or in the video room when I was a child.

The film is a remake of Sergio Cobucci's 1966 Django. It's a bit inappropriate to say it's a remake, because the original version didn't have any oriental flavor, but now it's good, the actors are all Japanese first-line celebrities, and they also speak English that is too Japanese, and most of the Western things appear from time to time, which is really interesting. extreme.

The pictures and scenery in the film are very atmospheric. Either a large field of mud, or a large field, or a large mountain, or a heavy snowfall, or a cemetery, etc. The color is also a bit old, and it looks like a Quentin Tarantino movie I've seen before.

The character settings are also extremely exaggerated. There are two factions representing Japan, the red faction and the white faction. The Japanese like these two colors because their national flag is like this. There are also masters. The gradually fading Red Sect boss Hiroshi Sato, the powerful White Sect boss Yusuke Iseya, the hidden woman, the mysterious master Hideaki Ito, the perverted strongman Masanobu Ando, ​​etc., all set off this wonderful fight. .

Let's talk about the performance of the actors. Let's talk about the few actresses first, one is a typical sexy and weak woman, and the other is a powerful female killer similar to "Kill Bill". In this male-dominated film, the rigidity of the picture is well reconciled, and it plays a very green leaf role.

Of course, the best actor in the male lead is Masanobu Ando, ​​who played the big villain. It seems that it is not unreasonable to like him. Being able to abandon the image of a handsome guy, shaved eyebrows, rotten teeth, and a shape so dirty that I can't see it is really admirable to me. Unlike the other two idol men, the whole movie is handsome and supports the audience. To say that it is metamorphosis is actually also emotional. For a woman, start a war, and finally die in the act of evil, it is the best example of evil and handsome.

Teruyuki Kagawa, who plays the police officer, is indeed an acting school. What is worth laughing at is that he actually wears the uniform of an American police officer. He plays a pivotal role in the play and can be said to be an indispensable role. Let everyone feel joy while indulging in violence, and finally killing the female killer is very important, perhaps implying the meaning of mice eating elephants. He died with a cross through his chest, which seemed like a comedy.

There is also the boss of the White Gang, Iseya Yusuke, who used to look at his photos and thought that this person was too handsome, a typical skinny handsome guy, but he played a handsome character from start to finish without any surprise in the play. . But the only surprise is that he plays the villain in it, and the evil spirit is quite charming.

Ito Hideaki acted decently, but it was too bad. So, I can't get my affirmation. Such a boring character. It's a pity that it's a cool look from the beginning to the end.

On the other hand, Hiroshi Sato's performance was very beautiful. He was a fool, and he was so handsome when he finally shot with his powerful new "toy".

There's also Quentin, who made a cameo appearance in the cult movie addict. A dead foreigner, who insisted on taking part in a Dongying movie, was very strange, but then again, his role has never been normal, and he roared: Sukiyaki and then the movie starts. It looks like Quentin and Miike are really paying homage to these B-movies. The sukiyaki scene in the middle made me laugh so hard.

It's a no-brainer movie, all you need is your Western madness and your habit of blood. I really like Takashi Miike and Quentin Tarantino. Tribute to the cult.
