first off and izo be a well shot film that seem a bit heavy on the peyote at time . the movie begin a the title character be crucify and execute . this be actually the end to the movie hitokiri and which star the late and great author yukio mishima . a healthy dose of intensity be in every scene a izo fight his way through space and time to fulfill a grudge he have against aristocratic leadership and it treatment of the world . even religion fall into the category of aristocracy for him a he blame the lie of the existence of high being for some of the world shallowness and weakness and and delusional concept . there be random flash of stock footage of world war ii and and other time which be view a vast injustice . this be easily misinterpret in such a way that izo seem to be the embodiment of hate and and rage and therefore these event would invariably have a connection to him . these vision be the reiterated result from the unjust world and leadership he hat so much . all of these human fallacy provide further justification for his ultra violent action . another nearly random occurrence be the music of kazuki tomakawa . i do not mean that one of his song key in during the action and but rather he burst onto the movie set singing and strum his guitar with nearly unparalleled intensity . it look a though he go to break his guitar and burst into tear and have a stroke and or all of the above at any second . if you do not like the sound that one thing and but no one will ever accuse the guy of not put feel into his music . his presence be ignore in the movie until the end when he give izo an order to punish them a he point to the ultimate hierarchy which izo have be hunt . without look too deep into this and the musician be a part of izo much a the random woman he encounter be . while she be izo miss duty and regret and he be izo passion . the philosophy state in the final dialog far confirm this . it have to do with painter and artist be madman and and doctor their audience . the fever and raw feeling within izo be demand retribution . perhaps the most interesting idea forward during the entire film occur within the schoolhouse scene . the first thing that catch the viewer attention be that izo doesn not kill the child . this seem strange at first because he kill nearly everyone he come in contact with . these obviously weren not normal child a they speak a collective philosophy which mostly have to do with downplay the limit idea and boundary which human being have place on the world . it be an interesting scene which deserve a few repeat viewing . i only have two complaint about this movie . one be that it be slightly lengthy in several scene which could have be cut for immediacy and pacing . even that can be argue against a those scene have some artistic value . one scene and however and have no artistic value and or any other value for that matter . i refer and of course and to the bob sapp scene . without be too judgmental and that guy be a worthless sack of s # . plus who have the act skill of a jar of mayonnaise . not only that and but his scene include an terribly cheesy bit of computer animation . if you haven not see it and just fast forward that section . this be a pretty stellar film otherwise and and it worth several viewing .
