Movie Reviews of Sukiyaki Western Django
Movie Review: 3 parts western, 2 parts samurai, 1 part Quentin Tarantino!
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all I should tell you that I haven't seen the US version yet so I'm not sure which scenes were cut and I'm afraid to find out.
Secondly to give you a frame of reference I'll tell you five of my favorite movies (in random order): 1. Matrix 2. Last Of The Mohicans 3. Chungking Express 4. Edward Scissorhands 5. In The Mood For Love
Now I'll tell you why I absolutely loved this movie. For me it was a formula that was bound to be good: 3 parts Western, 2 parts Samurai, 1 part Quentin Terentino. This isn't a movie that you watch for the wonderful story or technical achievement - for me this movie is to cinema what poetry is to literature. Miike wasn't interested in the rules or the details, just to get the feeling across, which I think he did flawlessly.
It's primarily an over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek parody of Spaghetti Westerns that had me rolling with laughter (quote: "are you gonna strike at me with that blade... or whistle dixie?"). It is especially funny because it just sounds so ludicrous with the Japanese accents. But it also has adrenaline-pumping action, and even slips into some very deep and heavy emotions - this movie really got under my skin!
After watching it several times, what has stuck out most vividly in my mind is how unique and refreshing this movie is. Even though the basic plot of the movie has been done at least twice before (Yojimbo, Last Man Standing), I've never seen another movie that is anything like it - and I've seen A LOT of movies.
If you are a fan of westerns, samurai or just movies in general I think you will really like this movie and if you are dying to know what the Japanese version is like you can get it from HKflix.com for a good price.
