Kids Return...the resurrection of Takeshi Kitano

"Are we just over...?" "Ass-hole, we didn't start yet!!"



This last conversation reflects and expresses the dilemma or...


just my hoping opinion... his arrogant attitude for society or all


of negativity that inflicts and oppresses him..., even


the equanimity succumbed them...this means resistance or antipathy


for them aggressively. That's I like...venerate Takeshi Kitano so much.



Before the decision of title as "Kids Return"...former title of


this movie is "So what?"...that means some "giving up" or "end of


the whole life"...or represent some pessimistic vision of Kitano


for his carrier because of fatal accident and failure of comedy


movie "Getting Any?"...seemingly, after filming this, the


attitude and vision of Kitano changed...and re-titled this as


"Kids Return"...from poet compilation book "Kid Return"..





Producer Masayuki Mori remembered some interesting


episodes of audience for this movie...especially in Europe


While Japanese audience phrased one and were mustered


up by this movie... especially including the last words,


European recognized this as...despondence of


young people in Japan...because of description


of juvenile punk who can not be Yakuza...


or boxer who was entangled the bad habits for pugilism


 and ended his carrier... moreover, they said the last words


arrogantly or strongly...someone said "is this represent the


whole young Japanese as abject...or should say that words


even in the worst situation??




Nevertheless, this movie is so...powerful and vivid one...


actually, before filming...the mental conditon of Kitano was


unstable...or abject again because of negative campaign for


him in 1995...deny for his resurrection in public...as lisping


comedian, or too much early to come back...


To defeat and rehab from the negativity...Mr.Mori suppose


him to create some scripts for movie completely...because movie is only


his hope and recourse...for his coming back in the worst moment.


When making some ideas for movie...Kitano were revivifying and


joying his works...movie lets him reboot...thus,


this movie helps Kitano to come back...or support his resurrection.




If you wanna come back to the some...remember and memorize


this reference "We didn't start yet"....to start the whole new life


with "arrogant"...not negatively but positively  attitude.
