If the woman, the villain of the limb has been cut, finished her story told and the motto of the entire movie: "Total Massacre" (literally, I think more like "all die") with a posted mouth clamped pen on a piece of paper, turns the chief assassin's head slightly to one side and begins to laugh softly. He has, he said then, finally found a reason to die.
Of course, the scene so far conventionally than to call some classic categories of the samurai film. But why is wrong with her yet. The entire film is conventional, which we read everywhere, as if he had anything to say so, as could not be a conventional story seriously. Of course, Miike does not take anything seriously, but if the Fießling says: "the stupid way is more fun" and thus open eyes in the direction of enemy, and nearly one-hour bloodbath marches then that is not only self-reflexive wink and play with the audience expectations, the man remains in character. Like the fold-and expressionless white surface of this face at the end of a mud-and blood mask placed receives and thanked then for their murders, giving him the most exciting day of her life have given (even before he is childishly excited because he pain and anxiety can feel) that is above all a powerful genre moment, as a coda to a spectacular, sprawling in all directions combat sequence. This battle sequence in turn is a catalog of martial action film, its motives, its spatial logics, its pathos forms, especially great is a nightmarish episode decentered, angled shots in which the unit composition thoroughly out of joint.
13 Assassins is a rich film that has the classic cinema also learned how little scenes and minor characters can give eigenvalues, which they did not in the high-concept blockbusters, can still win in a genre modernist formations. Also great is just for example, like Miike introduces the main setting for the film, a remote mountain village, which reminds a little of the actual town of Kurosawa's Seven Samurai . The local clan chief offers to the samurai, that if she left him for a few gold pieces, quiet the entire village may burn. "We will build it again just afterwards." He later sold young women from the village as a prostitute in the sexually voracious forest warrior (if Miike is not a true figure, there has never been one). As all women are tired, take the wood sprite is equal to the clan chief, itself.
13 Assassins is a fascinating mix of genre conservatism and innovation, an author of film through and through. Me that the (not always well received in Venice) film has so impressed, may also be because I could see him in the first time outside of Japan submitted in full version (144 minutes). Miike himself told in a video message the demonstration that the film is in this version much more miikeesque. But when should have been cut out for international markets really just the best 25 minutes I can explain with the best will, like Tarantino and his colleagues have calculated this epic prefer Somewhere .
