"This is one of the very best films by the extremely talented Kiyoshi Kurosawa for those of you who don't know the name or the work, he's no relation to Akira Kurosawa. He's an absolute master of light, framing and pacing, and he has so much control over all three that there are moments in his movies when the slightest gesture in the corner of the frame will send a shiver down your spine. Kurosawa doesn't exactly work in the horror genre. Rather, his films are filled with a strange dread. In many of them, something has arrived, no one knows exactly what or how or for what purpose: Reality is untouched except for a small, unsettling detail or two, which mutates into violence and irrationality. Kurosawa is a real student of cinema. Along with Shinji Aoyama, Makoto Shinozaki and a few other directors, he's the former pupil of the great Japanese critic and historian Shigehiko Hasumi. Each of them has absorbed the lessons of older American cinema and taken them to interesting and unusual places. Kurosawa, for instance, is a great admirer of Robert Aldrich, and if you didn't know it you'd never guess as much from simply looking at his movies. But it makes sense: They're both making movies about the world in a state of emergency, creating a troubling poetry of violence and upset. I can recommend every Kurosawa movie I've seen: Séance, Charisma, Doppelgänger, Bright Future and the more recent Retribution. Along with Pulse, which is about ghosts on the Internet, Cure is his most terrifying movie. The excellent Kôji Yakusho (he and Kurosawa have worked together many times) is a detective confronted with a seemingly inexplicable phenomenon: a series of murders in which the perpetrators are standing by unaware of how or why they did it, with red X's carved on the necks of the victims. There are startling images and moments in this picture that will haunt you for a long time to come, and I suppose I should say that it's not for the faint of heart. But be brave, because it's worth it. Kurosawa is a major filmmaker."
The Search is on for the Legend Luke Skywalker. The First 30 minutes of The Force Awakens are fucking awesome, the opening credits to the action packed start, Its back with a bang it captures the Spirit and Magic of the original Star Wars, the return of Millennium Falcon was such a joy. Sadly in turns into a a remake with another plot about Death Star ( for the 3rd time in the Star Wars Movies) But this time the star is BIGGER and with BETTER EFFECTS.
Oscar Isaac is in a lot of the best scenes in the movie, he needed more screen time, this man is a Superstar, The force is his screen presence. Hope he plays a bigger role in the sequels. I liked newcomers Fin and Rey and there backgrounds, good chemistry between the two, BB-8 over R2D2 any-day, Infact BB-8 is the best character in the film. Damn Han Solo is bloody old, its awkward him watching him run, the movie goes down a level when Han and Chewie appears, and down another when Princess Leia and C-3PO get of the ship. The film don't give the returning characters a background about what happened in the period between episode 6 and this one. A certain SPOILER lacked emotion to me.
The lead Villain Kylo Ren is bad-ass from the start, but he goes downhill from there, is family relationships seem forced and rushed, such a confusing character, Reminds me of a Young Professor Snape when he takes his mask off. Its hard to believe this really powerful Jedi that's turned to the dark side can struggle to beat young untrained Girl in Rey and former Storm trooper in Fin, Kylo Ren is quite weak and crappy, C-3PO might even have a chance of beaten him in a Light saber battle. Luke Skywalker with a beard is god, he will be this series version of Yoda, Hope he brushes up on is acting.
Star Wars The Force Awakens is a recycled version of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, which leaves lots of unanswered questions. I Would say it's the 5th best Star Wars Movie from the 7. Director J.J. Abrams and Disney played it safe, low on creativity and imagination it lacks memorable scenes to be a great film, No denying it was a fun bumpy ride which I enjoyed the nostalgia but its brings nothing new to the World of Star Wars and Blockbuster movies.
