Kôshônin (negotiator) - Mashita Masayoshi (2005)

I watched a Japanese suspence movie "Kôshônin - Mashita Masayoshi (2005)". Kôshônin means negotiator in Japanese, and Mashita Masayoshi is a name of the negotiator in this movie.
It is the third movie from a Japanese popular series 'odoru daisousasen' in Japan.

I like very much the movie. The process to solving the affair are thrilling and very catchy.
As it is often seen in Japanese story, some details a little bit unrealistic......but it doesn't reduce the overall value.

It is the way of life of the persons in movie that is cool !!
(let's forget about just a small thing)

座頭市 - Zatoichi -

This weekend was a bit busy weekend but with full of fun!
Going out to Malmö, concert in a boat im Malmö harbor etc.
There're a lot of things I wanted to write but let me start from movie "Zatoichi" by Takeshi Kitano, which got Special Director's Award in 60th Venice Film Festival.

It's a story about blind swordman. As you can imagin from the title, this Sword Action Movie is a bit bloody because swordmen are people who fights each other.

If I describe the movie with a few keywords, "Sword action" with "traditional Japan flavored by dance and music". and "Jokes" appears from time to time is a nice spice of this movie.

Actually Takeshi Kitano is one of the most famous comedian and I met many foreigners who knows his TV show "Takeshi Castle".
People who likes show like a "Jackaas". You should check this as well!!
