"Yojingham" sushi by Takashi Miike

When every Miike fan (including me) is sighing that the heavy-duty Cult director Takashi Miike is becoming more and more mainstream, and his identity is becoming more and more prominent, from non-mainstream to mainstream commercial films. This old man is getting worse and worse. The past 2007 was a productive year, with four works coming out successively, and the subject matter spans a lot, and the style variables are also very weird and grotesque. There are not only the campus violence theme "Crow High School", but also the relatively fancy gangster commercial film "Like a Dragon", as well as the alternative mysterious detective film "Detective Story". However, for a period of time, the most talked-about among these films has been the "Sukiyaki Western Movies" that winked at the United States with the attitude of "I would have turned my heart to the bright moon".

There was a cameo appearance in 2005's "Hostel" directed by Eli Roth, and another in 2006's "Memoirs of a Horror Master" (although it was not released in the United States because of too much blood and too much violence. But let Americans remember Miike), in 2007, Miike's foray into Hollywood was already a triumph. "Sukiyaki Western Movie" not only invited Quentin to make a cameo, but also continued to make persistent efforts on the basis of "Memoirs of a Ghost Trick", so that every big-name Japanese actor character can speak Japanese-style "Yang Jing Bang" English, and the whole body is not stingy. I put on denim uniforms, and made a living with the western movie of muskets and samurai swords. The taste is very strange.

To say "Sukiyaki Western", a Japanese-made, American-body funny movie sushi, the story woven in it is rather funny and interesting. It tells an old-fashioned story like "Taobao" in an impartial manner. Beautiful sparks of inspiration. You must know that Mr. Miike, who has great ambitions, can't stay in the young angry generation like "Visitor Q" and "Killer Ah Yi" forever. In 2006, he took another "Memoirs of a Ghost Art" to spoof the American blockbuster "Memoirs of a Geisha", which won a certain recognition from the mainstream audience. Now, in order to further prove his strength and gain the market's approval, he worked hard to please him. The United States is also worthy of recognition.

Compared with Hideo Nakata, who has established himself in Hollywood, and his recent work "Strange Talk", Miike's non-Japanese Japanese film is more beautiful and full of entertainment gimmicks. "Sukiyaki Western" is one of Miike's works that cost a lot of money and put in enough time and effort, and the work was handed in beautifully. If, therefore, Miike gets more filming opportunities, more attention from investment companies and producers, it will undoubtedly be a boon for many fans. Hollywood is the DreamWorks of the global film industry, the United States is the world's largest film market, and the Oscars are the biggest celebrity. How many heroes from Europe and Asia have succumbed to this, and Miike is not immune. Hopefully, the days when the Japanese version of Quentin will make a name for itself around the world is not far off.

"Sukiyaki Western" is fun, but it still has to be nitpicky. In my limited geographic knowledge, Japan, which has a forest coverage rate of more than 67%, has three-quarters of its land area consisting of mountains and hills, as well as small plains, oceans, and islands. Therefore, it is necessary to present the endless blue blood and yellow sand in American Westerns. , The feeling of the wild Gobi is more difficult than climbing to the sky. Limited to this, the vision and layout of "Sukiyaki Western Movies" are much more stingy, the small area of ​​bare land is half-covered and very pocket-sized, and the verdant hills are too vigorous. Not like a western. Also, Japanese-style English is really too "Jingbang". It seems that he deliberately asked Uncle Zhao Benshan to speak Cantonese to perform a sketch, and Zhou Xingchi to speak a Northeastern dialect to perform a drama. It's too abrupt!

In 2008, Takashi Miike has plans for four to five new films, including "Little Shuangxia", which are waiting to be released one after another. Congratulations. Three pools are three pools. As long as this label is used, there will be endless violence and excuses for endless blood flow, and it is so logical and justifiable, it is surprisingly good-looking. I wish Uncle Miike a great success in entering the United States!

    Martian language = mouth = The characters are gorgeous, funny, evil, cool, as well as lacking in elements. Mixed and large color blocks look very comfortable. Benzing is really awkward.
