Audition was so pointless, but the white swimsuit was nice.

I was going to watch Kaibei last night but the subtitles were all messed up ┐(´ー｀)┌

And audition is boring.

No, it's not boring, idiot.

It's just opinion anyway, but everything aside from the 'torture' scene was really boring to me, and not in a 'boring to build up suspense' way.

[Anonymous No.]

>>1746405
I agree

The whole film rides on the "kiri kiri kiri" and the dude in a bag

So basically 2-3 minutes

[Anonymous No.]

This is one of my favorites.

Anyway, as far as Miike goes, he's all right, but overrated because he's kind of a bigger name. People not used to things like the torture sequence are like, "WHOA HOLY SHIT."

Happiness of the Katakuris is his best film, I think.

[Klein !Klan7ih6Qs No.]

>>1746432
Asano is really good as typical is that is to say. Last Life in the Universe is good but Thai/General

Speaking of Miike, is Sun Scarred good? I might download that now.

[Anonymous No.]

>>1746411
Well yes, the movie starts building up slowly and then gives you the shocker ending that puts everything you saw in new light. It's totally brilliant.

I would not care about your opinion, but I cannot just watch my fav flick getting bashed by fools.

Sorry man, but the plot was basically "This chick is crazy." and then proceeds to demonstrate the level of that crazy.

It's got high crazy levels, but really, a good movie has a story, not a long demonstration of a character trait.

Donnie Darko had a pretty small budget so did Requiem for a dream, all you need is a good script and decent actors to make a good spiritual/psychological movie, what do you need a budget for anyways? theres no stunts and no special effects.

Watch that shit

But naw, if you're after proper Japanese movies, hop over to asiandvdclub and browse. There's plenty of stuff there you can't get anywhere else, and people custom subtitling movies

DVDISO only, which is admittedly a fucktarded format, but it's better than a kick in the head

The setting is a ''new'' Tokyo suburb. The school is clean, well run, and the movie takes place in the five-day period before, during and after a ferocious, seemingly liberating typhoon, which five of the students endure while marooned in the school's gymnasium.
As the English title is apparently intended to emphasize, ''Typhoon Club'' is rather like a much more solemn version of John Hughes's ''Breakfast Club.'' One young man, who's obsessed by being and nothingness, is fond of making deep statements on the order of ''Death existed before life.'' Two of the girls are disturbed by sexual longings they don't yet undertand. Another young man has an alcoholic father with whom he lives in a shack on the edge of the suburb. One young woman runs away -briefly - to see Tokyo for the first time.
The narrative unfolds in a series of short, sometimes enigmatic scenes that have the effect of a series of simple declarative sentences. They describe the action without ever interpreting it. After a while, one realizes that there really isn't an awful lot to interpret.
The students are less distinctively characterized than the settings they inhabit. At best they are mouthpieces for the writer, Yuji Katch, who evokes the memory of Yukio Mishima, and the director, Shinji Somai, whose often strikingly beautiful images are more interesting than the lives of the people being photographed.

only because they can't expect as high a return from their movie, their total population is only about 100 mil compared to that population of America + Canada + EU....

nope, the Japanese are too poor to afford movies thats why USA is the only one that makes movies because they can afford it all the other countries just end up watching USA movies anyways.

Japanese movie budgets are known to be ridiculously low. That's why you never see any decent CGI or special effects, ever.

That's because the English title is translated from the French title. The movie was produced with French money, if not it wouldn't have made it to the screen for obvious reasons.

In fact the Korean new wave with people like Kim Ki-Duk, Bong Joon-ho, Park Chan-wook, Hong Sang-soo,... is very talented.
And the Japanese movie industry has never been as terrible than nowadays.

Then, you're a troll.

[Anonymous No.]

>>1747346

Actually, I've watched quite a lot of Korean movies. Most of the Vengeance series', all the crap JJH has been in, and most Korean block-busters since 2001. I'd admit that I was a bit hard my assessment earlier, since my experience with Korean cinema has been so far positive, but I naturally avert from praising their industry because I hate gooks.
