Glory to the filmmaker...The destructive movie for his whole by Takeshi Kitano

"What a surprise, this foolish director asseverated never to film


 his violent movies..."



This is the second movie...or adventure and destruction of whole his carriers


or his movies...traveled from eminent and Japanese orthodox Yasujiro Ozu styles


 or Showa one like movie "Always"...love story of blinded painter,


the action one of Ninja...or horror one which he hadn't filmed yet...


to Sci-fi that described the crisis of world...and certain crazy mother and


daughter who chased and pursued the billionaire...thus,


this is the various and omnibus movie...directed and written


by Takeshi Kitano...or describing himself as "director in the deadlock"




Moreover, this is the second...rehabilitation or resuscitation program for


Takeshi Kitano...because of failure of them by filming the movie Takeshis'...


Firstly, he had some idea about...the aforementioned scenario


about the mother & daughter who chased the billionaire all over the world...


however, while writing the scripts, he...or they the producer and director


noticed that it's not enough to complete the story...the limitation of location


forced them to describe the small scaled one...or, just not enough to film in 2 hours...



So, Takeshi asked Mori about current movie vogues....for example, retrospective


one like "Always" series..., the symbolic filmmaker of traditional Japanese style


Yasujiro Ozu... or love stories. If Takeshi generates those kind of ones...?


Mori proposed the project of omnibus short stories as "Opus 19/31", former


title of that.



Actually, this movie represents poignant or strident situation of Kitano...as


filmmaker who traveled or meandered somewhere to find his answers for


movies....but all of them were failed...or wrong for him. Especially, the last


sci-fi episode was chaotic and catastrophic...really I could not comprehend


it so much...



In the last...Kitano destructed whole his episodes in this movie...to use the


scene of meteorite which attacked to the earth....with the sentences


"Glory To The Filmmaker"...


By the way, this title Glory To The Filmmaker are used as award one


 in Venezia film festival...surprisingly, Al Pacino was received the one...


Al Pacino!! If he will join the Kitano....what kind of movie do they make?


Or what kind of character Pacino acts...?I really excited!!
