    Takashi Miike has made several films I really like but I've watched enough of his work to know he's extremely hit or miss. I'm pretty ambivalent about the world's need for a third Bad Lieutenant film. But it was written by the dude who wrote The Eel, and Audition, and 13 Assassins.

    Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Day #318 "13 Assassins" (Takashi Miike/2010) Miike's remake of the classic chanbara is outstanding. Of course I say that without having seen the original but still, the film is fucking awesome! Check it out.

    Watching 13 ASSASSINS (2010) now. It turns out that I have NOT seen this film. It's much more sedate and somber than I'm used to from Takeshi Miike, but also quite exquisitely crafted. There is a verisimilitude present in this that is also generally not a feature of Miike films as well.

    just going to say if you enjoyed the remake of Shogun, which had much more Japanese input than the first series, which, was quite good for its time, but were keen a similar more authentic period piece film from Tokugawa or Edo period, take a swing at 13 Assassins on SBS :)

    Fully back in Movie Mode. Standout here was revisiting 13 Assassins, which spends an hour slowly building character before exploding into the most insane action set piece you've ever seen Also remedied a Kurosawa blind spot in Kagemusha and I don't think my eyes will look at things the same anymore

    This is just ignorance. That's the thing about these guys who are so mad about the game. They don't actually know anything about Japanese culture or history. If you watch even modern Japanese film like Takashi Miike's 13 Assassins, a historical action film, there's a woman with shaved eyebrows.

    Angry outrage = free advertisement = more people hear about it and might be willing to throw money at them. Especially if there is already a huge existing fanbase. Just a random example: * Avatar - The Last Airbender: The version of M. Night Shyamalan, not the upcoming movie. Widely regarded as one of [the worst ever adaptions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Airbender_(film)#Reception) of an existing franchise, hated by fans to the point that it's become a meme to outright deny this…

    Eiichi Kudo's The Great Killing has a fairly similar set-up to his previous samurai film, 13 Assassins, whereby a evil warlord is to be assassinated to save Japan from tyranny.

  • Derek Halliday 🇨🇦 @dthalliday.bsky.socialBluesky · Oct 5, 2025

    "Shinrokurō...being a samurai...is a burden. 'Do...whatever you want." What I find interesting about 13 ASSASSINS is that it's very much about taking the romance and dignity out of the Samurai film. It portrays the samurai not as noble knights...but as helpless servants, with no agency.

  • Derek Halliday 🇨🇦 @dthalliday.bsky.socialBluesky · Oct 5, 2025

    I'm at the final set piece of 13 ASSASSINS, which is really what the entire movie has been building too. I really dig how Miike spends the first two acts just building the drama and character, while the 3rd act is entirely an ENORMOUS Grand Guignol of insane and outrageous violence.

    The original was great. I paused the #2 in 2011 and haven't gotten back to watch the rest. Since then, my favorite martial arts movie is 13 Assassins. The cinematography is the best I've ever seen in a movie in that genre. Find the Japanese release version. It includes details not in the US version.
