Playing up the angle there is more meaning to becoming top dog where your status is literally an everyday fight for survival. Embracing the silliness of its plot the characters never once make it apparent how goofy it all is. Allowing opportunity for humor ease the mostly serious characters and drama to add more meaning to the conflict. There is neither a define "good" or "bad" among the characters. From a double date to giving or receiving a good beating to prove their worth to faction leaders. Showing both Genji and Tamao recruiting members to grow their numbers in various ways. All the characters might love to fight, but the film is not afraid to show them to take a breather from using their knuckles. Characterization is thinly sprinkle throughout to show the characters softer side. Adults never pay much attention to the violence with some supporting the characters to continue on with their everyday activity. None of the characters resemble real people rather are testosterone filled and anime-like teenagers. It setup is over the top with numerous factions all fighting for supremacy in high school Suzuran. Some characters especially if their female get delegated to the background until needed. Populated with a large cast of two dimensional characters there is a lot of story threads that it needs to slowly get across before the promised big finale. Focusing on newcomer Genji Takaya plan to take down reigning school gangster Tamao Serizawa.
Crows zero 1 final fight full#
Once again, Miike's adaptation of a manga outdoes it source material.Ĭrows: Episode Zero takes place in Suzuran High School, an all boys school full of delinquents and gangsters. In contrast Takashi Miike's take on the manga simply titled, Crow, is more accessible while maintaining all of Miike's signatures traits. Takashi Miike adaptation of "Ichi the Killer" stirred a lot of controversy for it depiction of exaggerated violence securing it popularity would be greater than the source material that inspired it. It does start to drag a bit in the second half (there is no reason for it to be so fucking long) and the final fight in the rain is pretty lame, but it's never not fun to watch.
He also makes the fighting feel simultaneously brutally real, and cartoonishly over-the-top, an impressive feat that not many filmmakers have managed to pull off. Miike totally commits to the juvenile power fantasy premise, but manages to puncture the seriousness with some hilarious scenes and character shortcomings. Et puis il y a surtout Ken'ichi Endo au milieu qui apporte une classe à l'ensemble bienvenue.
Crows zero 1 final fight plus#
Il y a beaucoup de trop de personnages, certains ne servent absolument à rien mais dans l'ensemble, Crows Zero, même à plus de deux heures, est un film extrêmement agréable, souvent très drôle et surtout assez rafraîchissant dans son approche de la violence non-léthale. Force est de constater que Crows Zero est très beau à regarder. Tout ce qui intéresse Miike ici, c'est d'enchaîner le plus de scènes de baston avec des idées toutes plus incohérentes les unes que les autres et que ça soit beau à l'écran. Pire encore, il n'essaie même pas de raconter une histoire un tant soi peu cohérente. Comme d'habitude chez Takashi Miike, Crows Zero ne fait absolument aucun sens narrativement.
