Father Geek back with our entire Asian crew back together again. Yes... not only Darius25, but this week's column features the return from vacation of AccSpy and the Hong Kong beat, and pigmon and the latest from Tokyo. Buuuuuut first ol' Father Geek here in Texas has some info for you...
I'm the guy that just bombed on that Feardotcom piece
of *#& a week or so ago. You may or may not have use
for this piece I'm sending, as the movies I'm going to
review are neither "new" nor without review elsewhere
on the net. Yet I thought I'd write it up and send it
in because your site needs more news about the mad
genius known as Takashi Miike.
I just had the pleasure of viewing two of his more
recent films (this Japanese workaholic does seven
movies a year!) Visitor Q and Ichi The Killer - both
were done in 2001.
Those two films, along with the brutally brilliant
Audition (1999) have convinced me that this guy is the
king-of-all-cinema in the world today and I'll fight
to the death anyone who says otherwise!! Okay, maybe
I won't fight till the death but I will argue
convincingly.
Why? What other director would open a film with its
title emerging from a puddle of the hero's spooge?
What other director would have its hero rescue an
abused woman and then accidentally slash her throat
open, causing a bloodbath that makes Shogun Assassin
look like The Country Bears? None that I know of.
But exploitation isn't the name of the game when it
comes to Miike - much more is at work in his films;
something a lot more meaningful than the exploitative
thrills of the grossouts mentioned above.
Visitor Q, shot on DV, starts with a salary man being
propositioned by a high school girl in a Tokyo love
hotel. Kenichi Endo, in a performance so brave it
makes Keitel's romp in The Bad Lieutenant seem chicken
shit in comparison, plays this salary man, who also
happens to be the girl's father. They soon strip
naked, he goes down on her and they end up having sex.
The scene, as wacko as it may sound, is mesmerizing.
It gets so damn close to porno yet feels so much like
art. I don't think I've ever experienced anything
like it. I didn't know whether I should have been
offended, disgusted, amused, or in awe. In all
honesty, I was all of those things.
And from that point on, the film just got darker,
dirtier and much more dangerous. Takashi Miike takes
every damn taboo he can think of and throws it up
there on the screen for us to debate. Incest,
parental abuse, fetishistic portrayal of lactating
breasts, necrophilia - you name it, this film has it.
Anyway, while the salary man is paying to bone his own
daughter, the salary man's son, so horribly bullied by
his schoolmates (pissed on in one scene, no less!) he
feels the need to turn his rage against his own mother
and beats the living hell out of her. Thankfully the
mother's addiction to H allows her a brief escape from
her own living hell. When the salary man brings a
stranger home, the aforementioned Visitor Q, a chain
of events is set off that eventually in a beautifully
gruesome way bring this disjointed and dysfunctional
family back together again. Happy ending? You bet!
At least I thought so. Then again, I am a sick #$*!
Anyway, I avoided spoilers as best I could - I think
this film deserves to be seen with its
surprises/shocks intact. If you think that what I've
described above is pornographic, maybe you're correct.
But is it art? Absolutely. Garbage? No f'n chance.
I've seen Guinea Pig (albeit briefly) and ten
miserable seconds of that pathetic woman-hating waste
of time, seemed like eternity. Unlike that shit,
Takashi Miike doesn't exploit his characters so much
as he exploits us the audience. He demands our
attention with imagery so perverse yet so beautiful,
it's impossible to turn away. You may love it, you
may hate it, but guaranteed, you'll never forget it.
Visitor Q is not a film for all viewers. It rips
apart the Japanese nuclear family in only a way that
Miike can do. Having lived in Japan for a few years
and having seen the real-life rash of attacks by
seventeen-year old high school boys (bus-jackings,
murders, rapes, robberies etc.) over a short period of
time and the wave of fear caused by this, I can
understand where Miike is coming from. He's worried
about the future of Japan. And he's throwing the
blame everywhere. No one is immune. This film is an
attack, make no mistake about it - a beautiful and
brave attack.
See Visitor Q because Hollywood in a million years
will never have the guts, balls or brains to do
anything one tenth as daring or original as this film.
Which leads me to the phenomenal Ichi The Killer. You
gotta love Ichi. He's a part-time failed waiter,
peeping tom, explosive ejaculator who when wearing his
black rubber suit with a big 1 on the back, is turned
into a savage killer who slices and dices his enemies
like a veg-o-matic gone mad. In one scene in
particular, he slices off a yakuza dude's face and we
get a nice long shot of the face sliding down a wall.
I'd never seen that before.
There's a lot I hadn't seen before over the course of
this film's two hours and it's a film that demands to
be seen more than once - if you can stomach it. Again
Takashi Miike is on the attack here. And in my
opinion, he seems to be attacking violence in cinema.
Call me crazy, that's just how I saw it.
You want violence in cinema? This film has it. Women
are beaten and hacked to death, children are killed,
men are gutted/split in half/torn apart; the scenes of
blood and guts seem to follow Spielberg's ten minutes
rule. I watched this film with a friend of mine and
he thought the film crossed the edge of good taste
about twenty or so times. He's not an easy guy to
offend either.
But I think that was the point. Crossing the line of
decency and good taste can sometimes force you to
reconsider that line. What the hell is that line
anyways? Why does it apply to some films and not
others? I mean, if you want heroes, and you want bad
guys, and you want action, and you want suspense, and
you want sex, well then, this film has it all. And it
delivers like a motherf@#er! Just like Spiderman.
The point is, whether or not you like Spiderman, if
you're looking for entertainment, what really is the
difference between Spiderman and Ichi the Killer? A
bit of blood and guts and so called bad taste? So f'n
what! Why is violence okay sometimes and not others?
Is there such a thing as 'good' violence? Should Yoda
whipping ass be any less disturbing than Ichi booting
in some rotten bastard's skull? If so, why?
Cause Yoda's cute and green? Symantics, my friend,
symantics. When you justify some violence and crucify
others, you're crossing into hypocrite territory.
Ichi The Killer is a great film to debate this use of
violence in cinema. I think that was Miike's point.
He wants to make hypocrites of those who would
criticize his use of violence. I mean, it's a damn
super hero story. Ichi kills bad guys! Just like
Spiderman and Yoda. What's the diff?
Ultimately, if you love films by George A. Romero, the
Coen Brothers, Tarantino, Scorsese, or you loved
Battle Royal, then you MUST see this movie. BUY it on
DVD (make sure you get the uncut version which is 129
min) and support the cause. Nothing like this movie
has ever been made before and it deserves to be seen
by all of us who are sick of those MPAA cock-knockers
dictacting what type of world of cinema we should be
living in. Ichi The Killer is a big F#$ you to Jack
Valenti - Mr. PG-13 to Temple of Doom yet a NC17 to
Clerks??? - here's some violence in cinema for ya Jack
- suck one this one!
Ichi The Killer is one of my favorite films of all
time and I'll recommend and force people to watch it
for as long as I live. I've watched this film twice
thus far and loved every damn second of it both times.
I can't wait to watch it again.
While Hollywood murders the soul of cinema, and not
one f'n movie plays up the street that's worth one red
cent of my hard earned duckets, Ichi comes along and
renews my faith in film.
Thank you Takashi Miike, you my friend, are a God
amongst directors.
Hope you can use this,
ShawnNow here's the regular Thursday column and Darius25...
Asia-AICN
Hey all, hope you’ve been enjoying these last few days of summer as the fall season (and the busy work schedule) starts to creep in. We have a fully-loaded column for you this week, which has information on “Marigold”, “Police Force”, “Aitbaar”, director Johnny To’s “No Shortcuts”, “So Close”, “Aiki”, and “The Last Samurai”.
INDIA
- Some more rumours have appeared online regarding the Hollywood-Bollywood collaboration “Marigold”. It seems that Britney Spears, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Love Hewitt are up for the role of the titular character in the film, while Amitabh Bachchan, Preity Zinta, Rani Mukherjee, and Amrish Puri will make some sort of appearances. However, except for Salman Khan, none of the names have been finalized. The film is due to start shooting in February, with a release date of Winter 2002.
- More Bachchan news. The actor will headline an all-star cast for Feroz Nadiadwala’s upcoming production titled “Police Force”. The action film will also feature Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty, and Jackie Shroff in leading roles. No female leads have been finalized as of yet. Directed by Madhur Bhandarkar (“Chandni Bar”), it will start shooting early next year.
- And yet some more Bachchan news. The actor’s collaboration with hit-maker Vikram Bhatt, “Aitbaar ”, was shelved due to budget limitations earlier this year. But with the success of two big hits this year (“Aawara Paagal Deewana” and “Raaz”), the producers have managed to secure enough funding to complete the project. Production is in full swing now and with a second schedule already complete, it looks like the film will be finished by the end of this year. Besides Amitabh Bachchan, the thriller also stars Bipasha Basu and model John Abrahams.
MAINE DIL TUJHKO DIYA (I Have Given My Heart To You)
Last week’s major release was this new action-romance from director Sohail Khan, who debuts here as a lead actor along with model Sameera Reddy. The pair are launched with the help of Sanjay Dutt, who provides major starpower needed for this low-key film to succeed.
The story is that of a typical Bollywood pot-boiler. Rich girl Ayesha (Sameera Reddy) comes to Bombay to enroll in a college, where she falls for middle-class student, Ajay (Sohail Khan). The relationship isn’t well-received by the girl’s father, Mr. Verma (Kabir Bedi), who hires a local goon (Sanjay Dutt) to rough Ajay up. Much violence ensues, but the couple end up together at the end.
The story may seem simple, yet there are plenty of attractions for fans of Bollywood cinema. The college hijinx is pretty decent with some memorable sequences, while nearly all scenes featuring Dutt are catered to the hot-blooded action fan. There’s also plenty of melo-drama for the girls, while we bloodthirsty fans get to watch Dutt beat the living crap out of Sohail Khan. However one warning though – the much hyped Dutt vs Khan clash isn’t ALL that – it’s good, but way too brief. However, Dutt does have some very cool fights in the climax.
The acting is pretty decent. Sohail makes an adequate debut on the other side of the screen. He kind of looks like his famous brother Salman, yet has enough different mannerisms to set him apart from the superstar. He can get away with the dramatic scenes, and isn’t too bad in the action department either. Sameera Reddy is also decent, but isn’t given much to do except to cry and look nice – both of which she does pretty well. Sanjay Dutt plays the negative gangster character yet again, and pulls it off with ease. He isn’t given much to do except to be a badass, and does his job very convincingly.
The direction is your standard run-of-the-mill variety. Sohail Khan has delivered some excellent films in the past (“Hello Brother” notwithstanding), but he doesn’t do anything here that sets it apart from any other films. Yeah the wire-fu is nice, but is used WAY too many times in the movie. Also, Khan’s reliance on sped-up then slown-down scenes reminded us that he’s just a wannabe director trying to use the latest trick and these scenes get annoying really fast. However to its credit the film does look quite polished. It may not be a big-budget production, but you won’t notice the difference. The cinematography is pretty decent, while the film is decently paced. The songs are typical filler-material, but are decent enough while you’re watching the film.
In the end, “Maine Dil Tujhko Diya” is nothing spectacular but is not really bad either. There’s some decent acting and good action sequences to keep you entertained for roughly 3 hours. This one could be skipped till it hits DVD, but watch it in theatres if you HAVE to see every Sanjay Dutt movie.
Newcomer Sameera Reddy looks pretty damn decent (with Sohail Khan): See Her Here

SOCH (Idea)
The second film released last week is a suspense thriller from newcomer Sushen Bhatnagar. The young director has crafted together a decent thriller with some suspenseful moments, yet is bogged down by the usual Bollywood clichés like the comic relief and unnecessary songs.
The film’s story is somewhat unique, even if it does remind of you of a Hitchcock-like thriller. Sanjay Kapoor stars as a famous film star, Raj, trapped in a disastrous marriage with a young starlet, Madhulika (newcomer Aditi Govitrikar), who’s excessively jealous and somewhat psychotic. His best friend is a hot new director, Preity (Raveena Tandon), who’s secretly in love with him yet cannot declare her feelings. Madhulika is always suspicious of her husband’s friendship with Preity and is always threatening to either kill the director or kill herself. The relationship is called into question when Madhulika is suddenly murdered and Raj is the prime suspect. Don’t worry folks this is not a murder mystery! The killer is Om (Arbaaz Khan), a psychotic stalker who has more than just murder on his mind. He comes in contact with Raj and proposes a deal, the nature of which I won’t reveal here. It is sufficient to say that the rest of the movie depends on a cat-and-mouse game between the two leads, and there are plenty of thrills till the violent climax.
However, don’t get your hopes up yet. What looks like a solid plot is ruined by unnecessary comedy segments, ridiculous songs, and some pretty cheesy acting. Sanjay Kapoor is ok at best. His character of a famous movie star would have made for an interesting twist had an actual movie star (ie. Shahrukh Khan, or Hrithik Roshan) played the role – but Kapoor is a mid-class actor at best and is therefore very unconvincing in certain segments. However he is decent during the high-tension parts, especially in the second half when he starts going over the edge. Arbaaz Khan is pretty good as the stalker and delivers a genuinely creepy performance. Raveena Tandon is horribly miscast as the director/love interest. She doesn’t look anything like a director and her “directorial” segments looks like she’s playing make-believe. The actress looks more comfortable playing the damsel in distress in the latter half of the movie. Newcomer Aditi Govitrikar has the most interesting role in the film, and pulls it off convincingly. Yet she’s onscreen for only 30 minutes and fails to make an impact by the time the end-credits roll.
The directing is decent through the suspenseful parts and is solid for almost all of the movie. Most of the scenes take place during nights and that’s fine, as is most of the local outdoor locations. However my main problem is that any tension from a particular scene is distracted by all of the songs and comic relief. Personally, the movie should have made with one (or maximum two) songs and no comedy whatsoever. And the ending isn’t as clever as one might expect – the unnecessary action sequence feels like a cliché in an otherwise unconventional subject.
All in all, “Soch” is a decent enough thriller if you watch it on video. The film has way too many problems and the cast isn’t huge enough (nor are the production values) for it to warrant a theatrical viewing.
Here’s a pic of the beautiful Aditi Govitrikar (with Sanjay Kapoor). Pity she doesn’t have a larger role: HOTCHA... HOTCHA...
CHINA
Here’s the latest report from AccSpy:
- Edison Chan, Kelly Chen and Elva Siu have joined Andy Lau and Tony Leung Chiu-wai's "Mo Gan Doo (No Shortcuts)". They will play the younger Andy, Andy's ex-girlfriend and Tony's ex respectively. The much-anticipated film, which is slated to release in Christmas, tells a story about two childhood friends who head in opposite directions as a cop (Tony) and a triad member (Andy). The twist is that both of them go undercover for business purposes (ie, Andy is the cop, Tony is the triad member). The first glimpse of the set will be available in the coming weeks.
- Corey Yuen’s sexy thriller "So Close" will be opening in HK this weekend. Here's some pics from the premiere.

What I meant to say was, does anybody know how long Tokyo Pop is planning on doing the Bebop manga? Is this a one shot deal or what? Oh, and Harry, finally, you made good with those creepy little animations.

So all you have to do to be a total filmmaking genius is throw a
by exit272
Okay okay, I know I should rent some of Miike's movies and see what the guy is really up to. But I have a hard time swallowing (no pun intended, I guess) when someone raves about what a genius some filmmaker is and then goes on to tell me he's a guy with a digital camera whose movies are all graphic sex and gore. "Who else would dare to be so outrageous?" you ask. I say, "Anyone doing the average porn video, sounds like. Max Hardcore ring any bells?" A willingness to be utterly tasteless is not what makes a filmmaker a genius. A skill at brilliant, universal storytelling and a dedication to craft is what makes a filmmaker a genius. Still, I'll try to rent one of Miike's movies, if only to see if he's really got more substance than his biggest fans seem to indicate. But if it's all just shock for shock's sake, I for one will not be impressed. PS: Battle Royale=overrated. A fascinating idea that could have been handled with substance, but was undone by major overacting and an obsession with emphasizing the brutality of the violence without really giving a good strong dramatic reason for it all.
-
There's a lot more to Miike than a digital camera (which I've only seen him use twice) and vile gory scenes. Check out pretty much any of his films besides Ichi (Ley Lines, Dead or Alive, Chugoku no Chojin, Happiness of the Katakuris) and you'll see what I mean. Ichi is great but some people may find it a little too much. Admittedly it's hard to find most of his extensive body of work outside of Japan, but the best stuff seems to be readily available. Happiness of the Katakuris is truly the most bizzare thing I've seen in many, many years! Absolutly genius!
-
I, on the other hand, wouldn't recommend this film to anybody, and can't help but think just a bit less of anyone who praises this alternately boring and vile film. And I like something about almost all the other Miike films I've seen, and that's a lot. However, I think his "I'M SO CRAAAAZY" act is beginning to wear thin. At this point he's just reaching to make less sense, be more repellant, or both. It's a shame, because many parts of many of his films are great.
-
Mou Gan Do would really be a film to look forward as a likely end to the 2002 drought... If it weren't helmed by uber-hack Andrew Lau, who couldn't capture any kind of real suspense or drama if his life depended on it. What a waste of a great pairing and decent premise.
-
Got my HK import (shorn 15 minutes of gore, sadly) of Ichii the Killer and was wondering if anyone (Mori, Harry, Quint...anyone) would like to offer an explanation for the last three minutes of the film. Miike has said that you need to have read the manga to understand the end, but Ichii isn't translated out of Japanese. If anyone is looking to pick up the HK version of Ichii, be aware that the extreme scenes featuring women and the "hot oil" scene have been cut. In addition to this bastardization, the scene with the policemen and the ramen noodles is gone (surprising since this explains some key elements of the film). Also, the HK version mistranslates a VERY important line of dialogue in the scene where Ichii "saves" the prostitute. By toning down the violence (and violent fantasies) that Ichii commits on women, the HK version makes him seem to be too compassionate. The viewer is given a false impression of why he behaves like he does. The Japanese-language only 2 disc set is uncut and can be easily found on ebay. BEWARE, the uncut version is not region 0 and thusly can NOT be played on un-modded units. The HK Ichii is still recommended by me, even with the cuts, because it streamlines the film and makes it a little easier to stomach. Still, why would a company release a censored DVD?
-
hey guys! just saying hello, i'm made my move from Bombay, bollywood land to Atlanta, GA :)
its really different...and no bollywood posters all over the streets! miss em already :)
BTW, does anyone think that salman is the worst actor they could have picked for this marigold project? -
....and Takashi Miike's work, though only limited to a cult following now and either loved or hated, will be studied and appreciated decades from now, much like Seijun Suzuki, just you watch. And Shu Qi's still a cutey pie.
-
Kakihara is not killed by Ichi. This is indicated by the fact that the open wound on his face is no longer present in the last shot of him laying on the ground. This was his dream - to be killed by the purest sadist he ever encountered. He was obsessed to meet him and finally be killed by him. What happened instead was: Ichi was killed by the kid (Ichi didn't behead him) and Kakihara killed himself by jumping of the roof - disillusioned by the weaping Ichi. Last shot: Jijii hanged himself and the boy lives happily (?) ever after.
-
All right, but is Ichii killed in the manga? I've heard of an animated series being made (for kids!) of Ichii. It would make since that he hung himself because of Ichii's death, but we never see Ichii die. Still, your explanation makes a lot of sense. In my heart, Ichii will never die.
-
hey moviemaniac, welcome to the good ole USA. Yeah they're so no bollywood posters, but atleast you'll get hot running water 24 hours a day - just kidding! anyway, I'd have preferred if they got a more comedic actor for the part, but Salman's ok. Yeah it would be great if Aamir or Shahrukh could have made the crossover first but oh well!! What's worse is that the director is SERIOUSLY considering Britney Spears for the main role!! If Britney does indeed join the project, the movie would be really really bad, yet it would probably gross $100 mil at the box office.

Ichi, Overrated, but not the trash you might think...
by thepoleofjustice
I have to say I'm scratching my head over the whole ICHI worship thing. I think it presents such a formidable challenge to the viewer that, once it's finished, said viewer gives the film credit for being so "unblinking." It can't simply be dismissed as trash, because there's too much obvious (if wasted) talent involved, so you end up with extremity+talent=genius. Unfortunately, gore and violence don't freak me out, and I was supremely unmoved. I was much more disturbed by AUDITION, because the (relative) restraint Miike showed only emphasized the shock when it hit the screen. ICHI announces its intention from the first scene, and since there's no build up, (not to mention a complete lack of believability,) it's just sort of an insistent high pitched blur. It's like the Stooges track "LA Blues." In the FUNHOUSE box set, one of the Williamsons explained that while "LA Blues" was indeed a sheer wall of noise, he was disappointed in it, since they simply went into the noise full bore, with no build up or grounding to freak out FROM. ICHI, for me, has the same problem. DEAD ALIVE, the only film I can think of that could possibly compare for sheer gore value, started out with some relative normalcy, and when all Hell broke loose later, you had some perspective. Not so here. A pity, too, since Miike shows promise for the Japanese freakout/art movement that I haven't really seen since Shinya Tsukamoto. Ah well, hopefully AUDITION and HAPPINESS OF THE KATAKURIS will win out on films to recommend the filmmaker by.
-
Yeah welcome to the States! I do agree that they could've chosen a better actor than Salman Khan but heck, they could've chosen a worse one! I'd say that Shahrukh, Hrithik, or Aamir would prob. be the 3 most likely to succeed if they set their sites on crossing over into the American market. They seem to have the most appeal. The problem is that they prob. won't be cast in their strengths and instead be put in "evil" roles first, like Jet Li in "Lethal Weapon 4." Hollywood tends to do that a lot. We shall see how this one does. Britney in the lead? You've gotta be kidding. They should cast someone like Naomi Watts. Gotta be someone with the acting chops, not just the looks.
