Dolls...Saddest love story and most violent movie...

"This is the most violent movie...." Kitano once explained the "Dolls"...


the pure but saddest "love story" between male...Matsumoto,


who intended...no, just were forced to jilt his fiance Sawako


and plan to marry the daughter of president by their parents..


and, female Sawako who was jilted by Matsumoto...that caused to


killed herself by some dangerous medicine...


but couldn't and that cause some mental


diseases...which forced her not to be able to speak well or be unstable


or insane...in mental health.



By the way, this movie featured some Japanese traditional cultures...


especially, Ningyo Joururi(人形浄瑠璃）...one of historical legacy or


assets in Japan that features some traditional dolls and performers


who render some instrumentals and read the story for audience...


Youji Yamamoto....the costume designer in this movie(and some


Kitano films...Brother and Takeshis', or the character acted by


Takeshi Kitano in Outrage series) asked the producer Masayuki


Mori...to meet Miho Kanno...as


main character Sawako to notice herself, her idea for actress


or this movie....


Firstly, Yamamoto said...to Kanno.


"Okay, Ms.Kanno, this project...Mr.Kitano requires us the


tremendous or hard-and-fast things...what is that we should


or must defeat or transcend the traditional performances...


Ningyo-Joururi...you must win the dolls of them as actress,


I must exceed the costume of them..


Those costumes for dolls in Ningyo-Joururi...


is still impeccable made from old but still immaculate clothes


200 years ago...they still uses some lefts.


If we could not do, it's our lose...that's over."


.
As his strong and stubborn attitude for this movie...Yamamoto


impeccably contributed his passions to Dolls and Takeshi Kitano...


when Kitano saw and check the costumes, he was so...flabbergasted.


Firstly, he could not comprehend the styles of Yamamoto...however,


the more he was filming, the more he understood the idea and arts


of Yamamoto...as "Bunraku itself"...and reconsidered the importance


and roles of costumes...in the movies. Moreover, his eagerness for movie


was increasing...or noticed that


he must not lose the costume of Yamamoto as director...



Anyway, this movie was so...sad, or saddest movie of them which Kitano


directed...but pure and devout for love...even that cause them to


destruct whole life...or became the vagrants or homeless couple...



Moreover, this movie featured some episodes for example...


one of them is Oyabun(top executive)


of Yakuza...who loved a woman who will be sitting in every Saturday to


wait him...with lunch box made by her and "belief" of his coming back,


and, The fervent male fan of famous female singer...even she was lost


her right eye by car accident


and never be on the public stages as star...he just wanna


meet her without eyes...thus his eyes lost not to see her face but memorize


her face and smile before accident......



"Love is violence"...the theme of this movie "Dolls", or


Dolls...who was the observer on the movie were seeing


the world of human...
