sukiyaki western django have a pretty literal name and even if it look goofy to those unfamiliar with the genre be reference . the name be straightforward represent sukiyaki be a traditional japanese dish ( stand in for spaghetti ) and western refer to the genre and and django refer to the gimmicky b movie series of western from the 70 which the film constantly reference . so the name literally be say it a japanese b movie spaghetti western . miike take inspiration from and and reference and almost everything here represent classic clint eastwood western and the anime cowboy bebop and b movie slasher ( and obviously the terrible cult classic series and django ) and kurosawa yojimbo and the old japanese story of the tale of heike and so on . quentin tarantino have a small narrative role in the film as well . and it end up be pretty entertain . the film be entirely in english and or i should say engrish and do by japanese actor . the result be goofy and funny and sometimes downright unintelligible . it pretty original or charm in concept and though and and i wonder if miike wouldn not also like to make a samurai film entirely with american speak broken japanese . and regardless of how deeply the character can inflect base on their accent and some of their visual expression be really wonderful ( my favorite be when the guy in the paddy wagon grab the stick of dynamite . ) . the film be actually quite nice to look at throughout . the set and costume be pretty nice for an independent film and though a lot of the interior decor often remind me of the u interstate food chain and cracker barrel . haha . i just mean the saloon and everything be a little . clean . the action be a combination of really awesome and intentionally terrible and though the shootout be pretty fun to watch and there be some pretty original moment feature crossbow and computer render effect . furthermore and miike like to toy with audience expectation and anticipation and so prepare for some off tempo action sequence which border on the bizarre . and all the typical miike touch be here represent over the top manga style violence and a combination of awful and excellent acting and critical reflection on chivalry and a weird drawn out dance number that have nothing to do with anything and aforementioned intentionally off tempo pacing and gorgeous cinematography and and well construct set . i would have really like to see some deep character development . the main character all look so similar and tell such similar back story it be hard to tell who be who until the end . and it do not help that they all speak in broken english and but then again i wasn not watch it with subtitle . although it not grip for it story and narrative or traditional story telling and film making quality and sukiyaki western django be pretty cool for how unique it be and it goofy japanese angle on the subject matter . at the very least and fan of classic b movie and arthouse cinema should find something to like here and as should fan of live action manga or miike more light hearted moment .
