Review of Izo

Izo (2004)
6/10
Finally I understand the film
6 January 2005
Warning: Spoilers
Let me explain: When you leave the room and are incapable to explain anybody what you have seen, two chances appears: a great movie that will transcend space and time or a total mistake.

Finally, two months later I understood the film: Miike tried to do "Apocalipse Now" and was out of money, so he swap Napalm for a guy with a Katana. And also fired the entire Writing team and let cameras in the hands of trained monkeys.(This maybe explains why in some shots the viewpoint is turned over 90º.) Sure they will be happier than original costume and makeup crew, because I think nobody will never appreciate his efforts, this is what it happens when you have no time to see no more than a dancing katana... Here ends the funny part. I will not do more comparisons.

YES, my guess is maybe wrong and finally it really becomes true that I did not understand anything... but does anybody believe that this film was against war? or a political point of view? or with some content at all? To do that, maybe it were better to do "Apocalipse 2: the return of the horror" or "Fahrenheit 666: the temperature where celluloid burns" or ... no, no, no, it has no sense. You better try to do not understand and maybe you can enjoy with this mix of samurai + terminator with Monty Phyton's plot, oh I did it again, please forget and empty your mind before seen this film. Do not be worry about getting sleeped, you sure could not do so, with all that people crying like Nightmare Elm Street, ...oh I did again.
