I edited this trailer back in 1997 in NYC, and am amazed to see over 200K views. Milestone's only demand (they were the U.S. distributor) was that there could be no Japanese dialog - only action, and beautiful, largely silent, moments. I used Joe Hisaishi's amazing soundtrack for the trailer. It starts with "Painters" (track 6), and then crossfades to "HANA-BI" (track 11) at the :40 mark.
@@kDEa2606 Citing the fact that Takeshi Kitano won a Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival is a poor measurement of his global recognition. Most people, myself included, wouldn't be able to tell you who won at Venice last year, never mind more than a quarter century ago. Venice is an elite film festival, as opposed to the Oscars, which is something very different. I'm certain that many directors who are largely unknown in the world have won at Venice. Take a look at the list of Golden Lion winners. Very few have truly global recognition to regular filmgoers. Yes, Takeshi is huge in Japan, I've visited the country several times, everyone knows of him. Outside Japan, it's a different story. Walk down the street, even go to a cinema, and throw his name around. Most filmgoers outside of Japan are oblivious to his existence. There are non-Japanese people who are very much into Japanese pop culture, claim to be "experts" about Japan, yet wouldn't recognise him. The number of film buffs with whom I've spoken who still haven't seen HANA-BI is baffling. So, yes, Takeshi Kitano is very much overlooked outside Japan. The film HANA-BI deserves to be one of the most popular films in existence. Yet due to the fact that many people, especially those in the Anglosphere, have an allergic reaction to reading subtitles, we must endure the rantings of people who think that all the best movies are made in Hollywood.
One of the greatest films ever made. For a wrong-headed laugh, check Ebert's lukewarm review of it. Kitano recovered from his accident and poured his very soul into this movie. The music, the imagery - easily one of my favourite films ever. Bravo, Beat Takeshi, this film will live forever.
This movie certainly includes several Japanese clichées, like Mt. Fuji. And yet, it is my most favourite movie of all time. The sadness and melancholy in this movie touches me even more than in Sonatine or Kikujiro no natsu.
+Z-Assolluto-7-11 True, but at least the "Asian Robert Mitchum" reference is on key. And that has nothing to do with action, just with the way he holds himself.
It's a common culture for most companies out there (or human beings in general, lol) to be slightly dishonest and manipulative, whenever it comes to marketing their own products, or getting something they want. Might take a few more hundred years before we overcome all of these animal instincts of survival and manipulation, hah.
Please read the description. The fellow who made the trailer said that he wasn't allowed to have any dialogue in the trailer. Therefore, we cannot know about Nishi's wife and her ordeal. When cannot hear the doctor speaking to Nishi. What did you want the maker of the trailer to do, throw in a few more shots of Nishi and Miyuki sitting at the beach? This trailer finds exactly the right balance. I don't find it misleading in the slightest.
Kitano often says his performances, movies too, are all plays, that is not serious at all, but movie is convenient when the harvests are arranged from every field. He has recently started the work of news commentator at live, and college professor, morepver he's been comedian, TV personality, politc commentator, actor, painter, poet, novelist, and love Mathematics. But his movie works are special, filled with elements usually we cannot see, all arranged and destloyed.
Today that is the case, however Hollywood used to have some really great films out there. American cinema wasn't always a business, at one time it really was treated like what it should be - art.
Way better than Mitchum I would say. More in line with the (acting) talent of James Coburn, directing of Sam Peckinpah, and editing of Martin Scorcese. Not to mention his fighting skillz.
Hana-Bi, Violent Cop, Sonation, Zatoichi, Outrage, Boiling Point, Kids Return, Scene at The Sea, they are so great & beautiful. His collaboration with Joe Hisaishi is amazing. Sadly, they are no longer work together since Dolls.
I think the problem with the trailer is it's misrepresented as an action movie in this when it's more of an art house film, that what happened when i saw Hana-bi and Sonatine, both great movies. their just not advertised correctly in my opinion.
I love this film. I feel western cinema has rejected the real not "Spiritual" issues but the "Things we cant really touch" eg the sacrifical roles that are presented in this film. Even western films which do present this point fail to have people like Kitano behind them, for example Kitano is a megastar in Japan, myself speaking as citizen of the United Kingdom, has no one of his standing to us as an example. And no one even near his level would attempt such risks with this kind of film.
I think Oriental cinema is driven by impact and influence rather than a full conversation. They let the entire scene do the talking, which is why there isn't much camera use and it always looks really crisp and minimalistically effective.
@92310CAMILLE he also did those paintings for the picture (he's an amateur artist too).. i somewhere red him joking that he mainly made this movie to promote his paintings hehe
This is still the best that I've seen from the several of his movies that I've watched. Since nobody else has mentioned it, try GLORY TO THE FILMMAKER! It's a comedy, and it's important to remember that Takeshi Kitano first became known for his comedy.
Just because you dislike an art style doesn't make it garbage. Find another way to vent, don't call an entire genre garbage just because you can't appreciate it.
Takeshi is a genius and Hana Bi is my favourite of his films but this trailer is so misleading. If you had only seen this trailer you'd go in expecting a brutal gangster film with non stop action and violence when the reality is violence and yakuza's are a relatively small part of it.
i saw this movie and sonatine when they first came out and loved them but thought i was maybe reading too much into them. Having read a lot of these comments it seems that i wasnt :)

Guess you got lucky, Kitano's movies are not exactly dialog heavy.
No you didnt. Eat shit
its a great trailer! wish we had more trailers like this that dont spoil the best parts of the movi
You did the great job man.

Absolute masterpiece

The soundtrack was so nice in this. Really cool movie.
Such a misleading trailer. It does not have as much action as the trailer may suggest, there's a lot of drama involved that makes it so much better.
Trying to sell it to a broader audience I assume.

I mean, if it gets more people to see the movie, does it really matter considering the quality of the final product?

もう今は誰も異業種監督とは言わないが、相変わらず孤高の道を歩む監督。北野以降に
日本や海外にそのテイストを「まねぶ」人や熱狂する人が出たが、邦画の本流とは違い
また海外の影響ともちがう、独創性はやはり今も貴重だ。最近原点回帰してきた。齢を重ねた、さらに充実した北野ワールドを期待する。

Great job, man. Respect. One of the best pieces of cinematography here, people underpreciate Kitano.
Unreal Movie....will make you want to be in or make films. too thoughtful.

Hana-Bi and Dolls are in my opinion his best two movies. Hana-Bi has everything a good movie should have, while Dolls is an awesome display of beauty.
Capolavoro, uno dei film più belli che abbia mai visto
D'accordo!
Que dire … à part que kitano est magistral dans ce film ❤

Song called - hana bi, from joe hisaishi, best composer ever
as a japanese, Mr.Kitano is genisu !!
Hai, totemo desu
Must watch movie before death I am Indian and I am lucky that I watched this movie
epic movie....in south india director myshkin was deeply influenced by takeshi's movies....he is a genious
Stupenda pellicola, certo non è chissà che cosa ma comunque è una gradevole pellicola, quindi stupenda e stupenda per me come valutazione è 8.
