if you watch this movie expect a gore fest in the like of gozu and ichi and you will be very surprised . compare to miike others and sukiyaki western be like bambi when it come to gore and dementia . while i expect something else and i be pleasantly surprise by the movie . when it come to blood and miike follow the old saying of quality and not quantity . it be very tastefully do and certainly be one of the more original movie of our time . miike really go the artistic route with this one . the entire movie utilize a unique style of cinematography and use color that be symbolic to the plot . my copy of the movie be import from singapore . i haven not see anyone mention the obvious flaw with the subtitle and so i will assume it be unique to my copy . like the other review say and the spoken word of the movie can be very hard to understand since the actor be speak a language other than their native tongue and but when i turn on the subtitle and they turn out to be almost completely nonsensical . they read like a computer bad translation mixed with yoda speak . the word relate to what be be say and but they do not make sentence . it be very strange and and add a whole other atmosphere to the movie and probably unintentionally . hopefully i stumble on some sort of rare edition of the movie .
