I actually BOUGHT this flick. I have watched it at least 5 times now, and I LOVE it. Should I mention that I am over 30? I think people forget that sometimes we just want to be entertained without having to think too much. In my opinion, these actors (many of whom cannot speak English in the least) did a wonderful job considering the language hurdles. I have seem a couple of Miike’s films, and he is wonderfully talented. I thought it was ingenious to add the “alternative” look to many of the characters, and the pierced lip was sexy! If you are looking for a great film you can go brain dead to and enjoy, see this one. It’s a lot of fun with just enough violence. Oh! and notice how the horses never get hurt in the shootouts!

What’s wrong with a movie like Kill Bill? I didn’t find it to be completely ironic. I find it hard to believe that someone would go through all the trouble of making hours and hours of film just intended to be cool and ironic. I think Tarantino made the movie with a genuine affection for the source material. Not everyone who likes old Italian westerns, or Hong Kong kung fu flicks, or dubbed Asian movies like War of the Gargantuas and Shogun Assassin, likes them just out of sheer irony. Despite the many flaws those movies often have, they offer a lot in terms of entertainment. Some of us enjoy stylized gunfights and giant monsters and unbelievable feats of martial artistry. It’s silly, but no worse than enjoying comic books or disco or anything else looked down upon by most of the rest of society.

What Tarantino has done is taken the parts of those films that he liked best and remembered best, and put them together in a new way to tell his own story. But if you don’t find unironic pleasure in the source materials, a dislike for Kill Bill is entirely understandable.

By the way, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly wasn’t a Hollywood-made western. It was produced and directed by the same Italian guys who did A Fistful of Dollars, and the filming was in Spain. Clint Eastwood’s first Hollywood western after making the Italian westerns was Hang’em High.

I have yet to see Sukiyaki Western Django, or anything else by Miike, but from the trailers, it doesn’t look like a bad way to spend a Friday night with some friends.

Haisan: Yes, Frank Capra, from his own words in a Japanese TV documentary.

Take a look at this:

> Japanese director Akira Kurosawa was influenced by American director Frank Capra,

He was? Did you mean John Ford?

Miike is a prolific movie maker, but his track record is spotty. I liked “Audition” and “The Happiness of the Katakuris”, but “Dead or Alive” was just terrible. I hope this one is going to be at least enjoyable.
