MCT:June 19, 2008A stunning film that was so very real it was disturbing. This movie is classic asian drama in that it holds nothing back and lets the viewer experience every hardship this family endured to the fullest. Kitano keeps the feel of the film at it's most depressive state as his own personal frustrations and anger continue to be passed on to his family and those close to him. His hate fuels him as he shows no mercy to any of those around him. The performance is stunning along with his wife and young son. The film utilizes the themes of the lifestyle of Korean immigrants in Japan along with family to tell a story that is quite horrifying, the film has intense violence, rape, and deals with issues like suicide and domestic abuse. It's a very good film and deserved all the praise it got though is definitely not for the weak of heart.

Takeshi Kitano puts the "beat" in Beat Takeshi. Forget Daniel Plainsview, here is a portrait of a man who hates humanity. It's odd to see such an epic movie about such a detestable man, who rapes, cheats and abuses people throughout his life. Lowest on his priority list is his own family, and it's his son who narrates the story. Taken from a autobiographical novel, this movie is a slap in the face to audiences, constantly reminded them that the world can be a terrible place and usually the bad aren't punished. A very good film that may get a higher rating after I get over the initial shock of such a downbeat film.

Blood & Bones, does anyone know what this film is? Of course not. I didn?t know either, before I watched it. Indeed, when the name of the main actor is bigger than the title of the film (on the poster), it is because it might not be a very important film. I obviously rented that movie because it was written, in capital letters, KITANO, on the top of the DVD.
I absolutely loved Kitano in Battle Royale. I think, excepting Chi to hone, that it?s the only movie starring Takeshi Kitano I?ve seen. He actually made Battle Royale so devastating. He was perfect, I think. In Chi to hone, it?s basically the same. The only thing different is that he IS the movie. He is the only reason why Blood & Bones captivated my interesting for those two and a half hours. What is funny is that on the DVD Kitano is written in bigger letters than the title of the movie, which is a proof of what I am saying. Hehe.
Chi to hone doesn?t have a good plot. In fact, it is mostly based on the character of Kitano, which is a violent, greedy and disrespectful individual. He might be the most hateful character I have ever seen in a movie. He rapes and fights everything that moves. It?s no surprise that Blood & Bones is extremely heavy and hard to watch. Every scenes are, indeed, so much realistic that we all hate Kim Shun-Pei, Kitano?s character.
On the other hand, Blood & Bones is precisely centered on him, so it makes the movie plotless. There is no real story, just a man mistreating his wife and his children and his employees. Because of that, the movie seemed slow-paced to me, but yet interesting. I do not regret having rented that film, only to have seen an unappealing character, played by a perfectly cruel Takeshi Kitano.
