i do not have a problem with violence in movie . one of my favourite japanese film of recent time be battle royale and a anyone who have see it will testify and kinji fukusaku ( the director ) be no shrink violet when it come to blow people up . that say and i think that violence for it own sake be at best boring and at bad quite disturb . azumi be a film where the violence be throw in and it seem and for no other purpose than to shock . i be sure there be people out there who love this type of film and the rating would seem to verify that but for me it be dull and self indulgent rubbish . battle royale leave me disturbed but i be think about it for a week afterwards . azumi only leave me yawn and wish for the closing credit .
