September 17, 200618 yr I watched it and it was amazing! Nothing like what I expected it to be...since I had always presumed it was about boats, hah. Can you recommend any other Japanese films on a similar vein as this? =s
September 17, 200618 yr Author I watched it and it was amazing! Nothing like what I expected it to be...since I had always presumed it was about boats, hah. Can you recommend any other Japanese films on a similar vein as this? =s well there's always Battle Royale 2 :lol: :lol: actually its not as good as the director dies half way through and his son had to come in and finnish it off, so it got a bit messed up. however there is an alternate cut of the film out on tartan, which might be a better version of 2. dont know though only got a cheap copy from Asia. on the other hand if you want to see some good Beat Takashi ( that bloke) films get Zatoichi, hani bi (fireworks) and Sonatine. Zatoichi is one of the best samurai films, if not martial arts films i have ever watched. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/09/BR1_Kitano_1.jpg also this reminds me that Azumi might come back on Film4 for another playing. plus i think they might have the rights to show Verses also by Ryuhei Kitamura.
