Movie Reviews of Visitor Q
Movie Review: complete cinematic insanity!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is definitely my favorite Miike film. Just when i was starting to lose him...ah! Visitor Q came to me highly recommended, and without giving away the insanity that is Miike, I will just say that I did not think I could ever be shocked by him again. He proved me wrong in a drastic way.
The premise of this movie is supposed to be the fact that reality television has gone too far and that perhaps it even ignites people to act in ways they normally would not. However! this is really only a very spliced view of the circle this movie encompasses.
The guy who plays the unnamed man, or visitor Q is awesome. His part in the movie is the fulcrum point from which everything else unfolds. Enough people have written little pieces of craziness that happen during the film, so I won't get into those.
WARNING: do not watch this movie if your mind is planted firmly in the bible belt, actually...don't watch anything by Miike.
This film is for people who can deal with culture busters and can view the film for what it really is...Miike perfection.
Movie Review: One of Miike's best films. (It's not as sick as you think
Summary: 5 Stars
I was rather hesitant about seeing visitor q at first. I was assured by so many people of how disturbing and nonsensical it was, but I decided on my own that I should see it(I am after all a huge Miike fan).
Now I can safely say that this movie was quite a pleasant surprise. Despite all the raving about how disgusting and twisted the movie was, I was not fazed at all by it. In fact, I think that this is one of Miike's funniest and most uplifting movies yet. The humor is dark ,yes, but if you've seen enough of Miike's work, then you will have no trouble finding the lighter side of this film. And if you can see the 'lighter side' of this film, then you can understand that it is far from nonsensical. It is deeply symbolic, and the violence and twisted situations are presented in such a way, that they CAN be laughed at. And I think that is what Miike was going for.
The bottom line is, that this is one of Miike's best pieces of work, high up on the list along with The Bird People in China and Ley Lines.
Movie Review: Miike's one sick mutha!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
By far Miike's most disgusting and vile entry, but also very interesting and entertaining...even though, and I should warm you...not for the faint of heart or those with weak stomach, this film will test audiences to the limit! I couldn't explain the amount of grotesqueness in this film...almost every frame is as vile and sick as a garbage truck, but it is a masterpiece in its own right. you almost get the feeling that you 're actually watching a reallity show ...but a very nasty one. Takashi miike is a cinematic genious and this is his most disturbing and creative film so far. I won't review it because I hate reviews...but if you are not familiar with Miike's work, try Audition or Ichi the killer first. If you are able to finnish watching those films, or by any chance find'em entertaining (which they certainly are!!!) then move for Visitor Q ...but be prepared...this will shock the living crap out of you!Movie Review: ESTOS JAPONESES ESTAN LOCOS!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Visitor Q, is one of those movies that wont leave your mind for the rest of your life. Takashi Miike does an excellent job in his movie critique about the loss of family life in a very [awkward] way. 4 characters, 4 different lifes tied together by the presence of the misterious Visitor Q, the last hope and tiny bit of conscience that gently follows each one of them and hits them in the head (literally) screaming to make them open their eyes and look at what they have become. This sounds kind of a corny moral lesson, but wait till you see the esence of Miikes metaphors and analogies: breast feeding grown ups, mother abuse, heroin addiction, incest, necrophilya, more violence and defecation with rigor mortis included, just wait and see. This movie is so good, the ending almost made me cry. Sounds really weird? just chek it out. Takashi is god.Movie Review: hilariously brutal
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't know what the other reviewers are talking about. I am a woman and I LOVE this movie. I laughed all the way through it, even though I felt guilty doing so. People who think this is "pointless shock for the sake of shock" are a bunch of morons. It is original, postmodern, and the writing is brilliant. But, yeah, it's also EXTREMELY f*cked up. But it's f*cked up in such an imaginative and well-written way that places it on a shelf above shockorama stuff. This kind of stuff is the future of art, if you ask me...it's called "Bizarro." Check it out. And if you just don't get it then that's your problem.
