How Much Miles To Upgrade For Krisflyer

Takeshi Kitanos OUTRAGE


Director: Takeshi Kitano
writer: Takeshi Kitano
Starring: Takeshi Kitano , Renji Ishibashi, Ryo Kase, Sôichirô Kitamura

former comedian and co-founder of the modern Japanese cinema Takeshi "Beat" Kitano returns back before [and after] the camera, and once again turns the irreversible cycle of violence. It all starts with the fact that the wrong bad guys will literally spit in the soup. Who could have guessed that a nondescript Zechpreller is just one of the largest and most influential Yakuzafamilien? What follows is the extremely bitter and violent showdown two power-hungry Yakuzaclans with expected output ugly.

"violence begets violence ..."

... true to this motto, the yakuzas eat itself up and remain at the end of sacrifice is not enough blood feud Many intact. OUTRAGE not really a new story told here, on the contrary, he delves into a topic, the filmmakers Johnnie To [ELECTION, FULL TIME KILLER] has devoted a long time ago in detail. Takeshi Kitano's latest coup is indeed a relatively simple story of guilt and atonement in which everything revolves around revenge and satisfaction, behind this facade, however, he covers with a dry, almost comical nature the weird and the naivete of those in power games. Formal OUTRAGE is indeed brilliant - to convince both the actors and the sometimes extremely bloody images completely - only the otherwise innovative spirit of Kitano's not quite as bright flashes forth as usual. The lack of a role model makes it difficult to enter the film, but emphasizes the more the Unsympathie his protagonists, in which the actual statement of OUTRAGE is emphasized even more. That means consciously chosen cinematic style poverty sometimes results in a certain tension, thus OUTRAGE is still "just" a good Yakuzafilm, not more and not to the friends of Martin and Johnny To's Scorsesses Mafiaepen Yakuzafilmen will have their great joy, less.

HEREAFTER


Director: Clint Eastwood
book Peter Morgan
Starring: Matt Damon, Cecile de France, Bryce Dallas Howard, Derek Jacobi

Clint Eastwood's new film begins with a loud bang. An expensive animated sequence shows how a gigantic tsunami on Thailand falls and resulting in numerous casualties. This scene is both technically successful and scenically trick completely. The spectator feels in the cinema If the immense power of nature firsthand. The focus of this natural disaster is Marie [Cecile de France], she is the victim of the tsunami and is experiencing a near death experience which they will influence one or sustainable. In parallel, the story of George [Matt Damon] is told that is after an accident in his childhood in a position to communicate with the dead and has to suffer under the social consequences of this gift. The third main character of this film is the young Marcus, who wants to know after the death of his twin brother, what awaits us after death.

What awaits us after death?

HERE AFTER is a very courageous film: after the loud and effekvollen Start He totally screwed his pace back and tells three touching stories about experiences with the afterlife, the voltage on an emotional level is between the lines. Eastwood is on the one hand deal with the uncertainty of the people, what comes after life, but also shows very clearly the consequences and circumstances of this search. So Here AFTER sanded never in Hollywood kitsch, but instead reveals a number of charlatans who want to beat this human desire for knowledge profit. The individual episodes about loss, grief, curiosity and the desire for knowledge merge beautifully organic to a unit, even the characters in the course of history together sent be. HERE AFTER avoids any religious touch and gives a kind of spiritual sense rather than to rely on stereotypes. Clint Eastwood self-composed soundtrack is once again a subtle highlight and fits very well with the aesthetics but completely unaufdringelich a photographed image.

A subtle and touching look at people beyond experience

HERE AFTER you should absolutely see the original because the film is set in Thailand, France, England, America and Switzerland and the spoken languages and accents in Film contribute much to the atmosphere. Through this multi-cultural touch to HERE AFTER feels almost like the work of a European filmmaker, it's here the world is not only exclusively from America [the number of U.S. blockbuster suggest often]. Hereafter is with Clint Eastwood and also managed an unusual genre mix excellent.

SUMMER WARS


Production: MADHOUSE
Director: Mamoru Hosada
Release: DVD and BluRay by Kaze

For the young student of Kenji Summer is quickly becoming a nightmare, because a virus-like Artificial intelligence is out for him and brings the world order completely confused by sabotage of a large network. First you have to face Kenji against charges of crime data, soon, however, concerns much more ...

The [animated] Social Network

SUMMER Wars boasts a successful presentation of "OZ" a large, weltumgreifenden network - operate in the meantime all the inhabitants of this planet - a kind of Facebook 2.0. The real and the digital world are already veschmolzen completely with each other if there are problems in one world, it also interfered with life in the "other" world. Exactly in der Darstellung dieser Abhängigkeit ist der Film besonders stark und bringt einige sehr bemerkenswerte Gedanken über unser gegenwärtiges soziales Zusammenleben in die unterhaltsame und locker erzählte Geschichte um den Elftklässler Kenji und seine Familie, welche gemeinsam die Welt retten. Das oft für Qualität bürgende Studio MADHOUSE [PARANOIA AGENT, DEATH NOTE] zeichnet sich für die Produktion dieses schönen Animes aus. Das Design und die Animationen sind in diesem Film von allererster Güte und stellen wohl momentan die Referenz bezüglich der Bildgestaltung der Gattung "Anime" dar, besonders die Darstellung von OZ zeugt von einigen sehr kreativen Köpfen hinter dem Konzepttisch.
2D- und 3D-Animationen verchmelzen hier zu einer organischen Einheit und sind optisch nicht voneinander zu unterscheiden - ein Fest für die Augen.

Nichts kommt von ungefähr

Regisseur Mamoru Hosada erregte schon großes Aufsehen durch den Blockbuster DAS MÄDCHEN, DAS DURCH DIE ZEIT SPRANG, mit SUMMER WARS füllte er letztes Jahr die Kinosäle Japans erneut und war damit sehr erfolgreich. Der Film war übrigens der erste Anime, der je beim Internationalen Filmfestival von Locarno aufgeführt wurde und schaffte es auch auf viele andere renommierte Festivals wie z.B. die Berlinale, Sitges oder das Leed International Filmfestival.

SUMMER WARS erschien unter dem Label Kazé in einigen tollen Editionen, welche einem die Kaufentscheidung nicht leicht machen. Neben der "Standart"-DVD gibt es ein sehr schön gestaltetes Digipack mit einem hübschen Booklet, einigen Aufklebern und interessanten Hintergrundinfos zum Film, dann wäre da noch die wirklich gelungene Bluray-Ausgabe, welche mit einer beindruckenden Bild- und Tonqualiät des in HD preoduzierten Animes aufwarten kann - Absolute Kaufempfehlung!
