Comments on: Movie Review: Takeshis’ (2005) http://willooi.com/2009/04/movie-review-takeshis-2005/ Escaping within the mind, one level at a time Tue, 17 Jan 2012 22:19:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: fingers http://willooi.com/2009/04/movie-review-takeshis-2005/comment-page-1/#comment-1368 fingers Tue, 11 May 2010 12:31:57 +0000 http://willooi.com/movie-review-takeshis-200/#comment-1368 I'm not sure if you'll see this comment, but if you do: Takeshi's was a really interesting, if not a little frustrating, movie. It does a lot of messing around with the "fourth wall", as people say these days. Another great Japanese movie that messes around with realities and dimensions like that is "Heart, Beating in the Dark" ("Yamiutsu Shinzô) (the one made in the '00s, not the one from the '80s). It's a sequel to the '80s movie, but also a documentary about the MAKING OF the sequel, but also a REMAKE in which the same exact events of the '80s movie happen, but to a different couple who eventually encounter the couple from the original movie, but twenty years older than they were in the '80s, and occasionally switching between characters and actors playing themselves. Yeah, uh, I just failed to explain it, but it's a cool movie. I’m not sure if you’ll see this comment, but if you do:

Not a big fan of Takeshi. I have seen and enjoyed Kikujiro, Zatoichi, Battle Royale and Brother. But I wasn't moved by them. They were okay. But I still think about Brother once in a while. Still sticks with me. I'm not going to czech out Takeshis'. Sounds too random, "Japanese," weird, off-kilter, and non-cohesive to me. Thanks for the heads up though. Let the Right One In is a good foreign vampire movie. T4 looks awesome. Do you want me to come over there and break your lights? We are so done, professionally. I enjoyed Being John Malkovich.
