i loved this movie - my favorite char was the mom. this is one of those movies that you just cannot-not have a response to. by the end of the movie i felt deep, oceanic moving emotions. |
||||||||

|
|
i've really got to see this. HAVE YOU SEEN IMPRINT!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

||||||||

|
|
thanks!!! nice, grabbin that now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
get back to me, i'm dying to discuss/get nerdy on this one. i really can't figure it out, not quite. |
||||||||

Visitor Q is amazing, so is Imprint they're also very different, in different genres (although Visitor Q might be its own genre) did you know that the film is loosely based on Pier Paolo Pasolini's 1968 film, ? True. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Teorema is kind of infinitely better but I need to see Visitor Q again because I decided I didn't hate Miike in fact I think he is great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
visitor Q is mint, Imprint a bit bobbins really....like a made for Tv miike self parody |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"bobbins" haha you must be over 40. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Miike is very hit and miss for me, Visitor Q has its moments but I didn't find it massively satifying. I'm a big fan of Gozu, Audition, The Happiness of the Katakuris, his segment of Three Extremes and MPD Psycho. I'd recommend checking out that series although everyone else I know who has tried to watch it couldn't make it to the end. Full Metal Yakuza, now that's a good film. |
||||||||

no no, it really is lovely. it's like spirited away with needle torture. i like that box thing he did for three extremes up to a point, but im really sick of it now. too into itself for my liking. |
||||||||
|

|
|
the bathtub situation is hillarious |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all the masters of horror things were a bit made for tv tho |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my top-5 favourite miike movies (i've seen maybe 25): 1) Izo 2) Happiness of the Katakuris 3) Big Bang Juvenile: 4.6 Billion Years of Love 4) Visitor Q 5) Fudoh: The New Generation (they're all pretty good really) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have fond memories of fudoh, visitor Q was awful though and audition has one of the most psychic turnaround shock i have ever seen in a movie... i agree with indeksical very hit and miss but i have lots of respect |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
audition was so good!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes it was pretty badass |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im going to watch that this afternoon |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
to me audition is quite cosy just because of the timing and movement of the film. it developes slowly enough to let you ease into the mood of the film, but just cuts short of being too slow. So what exactly is IMPRINT getting at then. I get the basics but what's it about? Fill me in miike nerds! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
havent watched it yet but it finally finished dl''ing , might save it for tonight |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as boxbob pointed out above IZO is the killer application. stop this thread and go and watch it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didnt like izo i found it to never have any release, its just all tension |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea it's true, but that's the whole point of the movie |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i guess its just conflict then, yeah. i can see that now.. the whole movie is just this totally brain-sick, unsound offense against all of reality , so i guess it would be natural to have a defensive reaction to the movie. lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ITCHY THE KILLER !!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Watch Teorema. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you like it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

site pretty well sums up what's best in Asian cinematography. I watched most of it and some things not mentioned, it's a pity I don't fell that flow nowadays. These were the times... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the variety of choices paralyzes me! give me one or two must-sees. thx |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cheers |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

that one scene (you know which one im talking about) really surfaced some fear i didnt know was in me. thing is, that probably was regular practice in some japanese brothels way back when. nasty nasty stuff. WOW. yeah, i liked it. thats definitely the most disturbing piece of cinema/film i've ever seen |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cant find that one :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

it really bothered me. then the rest of the film got to me even more. all the coldness (killing komomo, dad/monk raping her, the baby's in the river) and the abandonment stuff. but yeah that needle torture bit hurts. first she burns her, then again (it's how slow it is that gets me), but then the finger bit; i just kept thinking 'that's enough now, really'' but it kept on going and going. i'm not sure what it's about but the way it starts (opening scene with abandoned cot in river) + the ending with him singing to a bucket of aborted baby mess seems to be getting at something very specific that i can't put my finger on. the whole thing with his 'little sister' and her sister. WHAT IS IT ABOUT |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's pointing to his dark past... i have my theories, but I can't prove anything specific. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah he obviously did something to his sister (there's some kind of ownership thing with her probably in a sexual way). but under this is something else. the woman with the twisted face chooses him for a reason and it relates to her story (wether true or otherwise). her story seems all tied up with the curse of being born out of a sinful partenership and her innocence being consistently betrayed or something. the needle torture thing and the 'i waited and waited for you christopher' thing goes in hand with his quest to save and own an innocent/vunerable girl ('because she reminds me of my little sister'). then the babys, a lot of that is really emphasised thoughout. what is his story + the twisted womans true/possibly fabricated story getting at when combined with abandonment/spoiling of children? it's based on a book isn't it? i should read it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea, but i think you'll have to read Japanese... by the way, did you know that the evil woman who tortures the poor girl in that scene is actually the novelist in question? This was revealed in the DVD extras. Check IMDB, it's true. Disturbing! What a lady. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nice lil tidbit that. i wont be reading japanese so i'll have to continue in ignorance. i dld the shown on bravo version, does the dvd have anymore footage or fancy bits? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
on the one hand you can say that simply just imagines the most grotesque situations and images and throw them out there, on another you can say the gross subjects are connected somehow. imprint was kind of like visitor Q in that there was a emphasis on maternity... i dont know. i think it is just about fucked up family abuse and fear. |
||||||||

I can't really recommend even one particular must-see movie because I'd feel wrong about other movies which are good as well. I like Your Top5 of Miike movies, very close to mine (I also loved underrated Izo and I have even Katakuris on DVD :D), though I haven't seen "Big Bang...". I assume You've seen Gozu, Zeburaaman and others by Miike. I'll put it this way: if I now had to choose two movies which I'd like to watch again I'd choose Cure and Marebito. But honestly if You're Asian cinema fan every movie from that list is a must-see. Cheers and have a good time watching! :) |
||||||||

Marebito is terrible. honestly. very faulty film. get 2LDK, Tales of Terror (a massive collection of 5 minute horror stories, love it) or VERSUS for rediculous low budget fun (gets tedious tho). i'm going to download Ebola Syndrome, it sounds great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i liked versus. the glass eating part was LOL |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh wait i'm thinking of another movie :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought Versus was terrible. Other Tampimax recommendations get my thumbs in a vertical skyward pointing position. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
versus is a proper piece o tat. |
