How come nobody said "Ringu"
I sawed it though. But it adapted well to white people movies.
Love Exposure
>>68757002
From the sounds of it you might like Japanese cyberpunk. They never really bought into your idealized 80s where every movie was the best parts of Commando and Predator idea that you seem to have in your head outside of anime so their cyberpunk offerings are probably the best you'll get.
Try watching Burst City and see what you think.
Also is your post satire, it feels like satire but /tv/ is consistently stupid that I can't be sure.
Moon Child
How have you not heard of 13 assassins?
it's the greatest Japanese film of all time.
>Kino
Please die. Why are first-year film students ruining everything?

Jamie chen makes good films.
Woman in The Dunes
Scattered Clouds

or just watch anything that has music composed by Toru Takemitsu
"Woman in the Dunes"
"Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters"
"Ringu"
"Love & Pop"
"Eureka"
"All About Lily Chou-Chou"
"Shara"
"Hana and Alice"
"Love Exposure"
"Tokyo Sonata"
"Little Forest: Summer/Autumn"
"Little Forest: Winter/Spring"
>>68757456
I don't even know what the word means on /tv/.
>>68757518
Nothing?
Shun everyone who uses it. It meant something in the twenties and if you ever see somebody speak it fucking deck them.
It's not a public word at all. You can adj it to a word but it's fucking not.
>>68756973
>Hero
>City Hunter

>somebody recommending a Hideaki Anno movie that isn't End of Evangelion
Holy shit
Diary of A Geisha
>>68757315
I have absolutely no idea where you got the idea that he wants every movie to be Predator and Commando. You should go to bed.
>>68757597
I know what it 'means'. But on /tv/ it's another word like "cuck" or "autism" or "just" or "faggot" or "projecting" or dozens of other words which have been turned into irrelevancies.
It seems to just be a way of luring out 'newfags' but even the most new of new people could work out it's a meaningless word.
>>68757625
Everybody seems to have this weird view of the 80s as the coolest and most stylish time ever experienced by movies when I think it was a fucking awful time for everything. And it's only 7pm here, I have shit to do, which is why I'm on /tv/.
Survive Style 5+. Watch it, you won't regret it.
>>68757652
Predator and Commando doesn't come to mind when I think of car chases and synth music. He wants Akira styled shit but not anime.
>>68757315
Not satire. Hmm i want something like Scarface where when you look at it, you know that that it's something from the Era.
>>68757683
>wants akira styled shit but not anime
does that exist?
>>68756890
Fast & Furious 3: Tokyo Drift
Best Japanese kino I have ever seen, to bqh.
>>68757695
I hate you deeply but I'll still do my best.
>American Gigolo
>Thief
>Manhunter
>Body Double
Do any of these sound remotely on point?
>>68757639
>pure kino
Man do you know how bad kino actually was?
The fuck out of my face. "Pure kino" is an insult to fimmaking and you hipster fucks are like "that's pure kino man."
It is not.
If you like it it's good, if you don't it's not. "Pure kino " might as well apply to everything.
Ten minutes of fucking with my balls is pure kino.
>>68757739
People are moving, kino is great!
Tokyo Story
>>68757732
Why the hate? But yeah something akin to that.
>>68757002
“Shuto Kôsoku toraiaru” but it is set on the Tokyo race track, not the actual city.
Initial D is the only other proper race film with shit you could want, but it's early 2000's, not 80's.
You're asking for shit which wasn't popular until the 90's to be set in a period before hand. Street races grew thanks to easy access to imports.
If you already watched Ozu and Kurosawa and are looking for modern
Like Someone In Love
Wonderful Life/Afterlife
Departures
Zatoichi
The Twilight Samurai
>>68757739
Re-read what I said. I agreed with you. Kino is a meaningless word on /tv/ which is used by people who knew what it meant and adopted by other people who had no clue what it actually referred to. See; autism and projecting for two easy examples.
>>68757623
which is it?
>>68757623
Hideaki Anno seems like a cunt
>>68756890

>>68757806
Initial D movie is chinese though.
>>68757781
Like I said, I fucking hate the 80s. It wasn't a bold and stylish time for filmmaking, it was a time of regression, growing prudishness and childish tastes and commercialism growing more and more prominent. I think that pretty much all of the worst problems facing films now started up then. Sure, it took the 70s to create the 80s but the 70s at least produced way more great movies and wasn't half as creatively bankrupt.
>>68757855
Anno directed Love & Pop.
Also, Love & Pop is actually a sequel to Tokyo Decadence. Did anybody other than me see that movie?
>>68757878
What'd he ever do to you? He worked his way up from the bottom like everyone else and has a great eye for aesthetics. And as for his attitude, I've never seen any indication of him being an unpleasant person. He does seem to be very unhappy though.
And one more thing, Hideaki Anno once worked on a hentai.It was a fucking masterpiece.
>>68757278
>>68757476
can somebody explain the "love exposure" meme?
i marathoned that 4 hours of that weird movie(it was good too).
but what was the message? sexuality? growing up?
and was it weird because it was a japanese movie or was it intended?
>>68757923
Irrelevant. It's still set in Tokyo and involves car racing and the music he wants. He's wanting shit to be made before it's time. Like asking for a 1920's World War 2 film being made.
>>68757174
This so much, but you forgot to add the best of Miike's triad trilogy, Shinjuku Triad Society. That shit is crazy
>>68757951
Nigga I just love the 80s aesthetic. I was just curious if theres a Japanese movie that captures 80s Japan.
I said it before, I'll say it again. This is one of the best works of japanese cinema
>>68758025
Course there is, you were very specific thou.
>>68756890
What are some good American films?
There are too many, it's a dumb question.
>>68757669
Seriously watch it.
>>68758077
I watched in years ago and only remember being bored to death. Should I give it another go?
>>68758141
>There are too many
Pulse is pretty good
>>68758202
Absolutely, but you have to watch it alone, with some good headphones/sound system and (optionally for max immersion) at night. It's an incredibly intelligent, multilayered film both in narrative but especially in cinematic techniques. Amazing performances too.
>>68756890
that one movie where the jap guy goes off his nutter and shoots up a school really well

lel, but don't even watch it with your parents. the entire things is told through really subtle details and hints and it goes over a lot of people's heads and they say it's incomprehensible
>>68758202

I think you can even watch it on Youtube in pretty good quality (torrents are not very high quality either)
>>68758505
Why not watch with parents? They'll keep asking you questions you may even not know the answer to yourself on your first watch. I mean if they're used to films like that it's okay I guess, but my mother for example, although a very intelligent woman is a romantic lemonade enthusiast and doesn't really respond well to good, subtle filmmaking

>>68758794
>>68758839
Thanks guys.
Is Pulse public domain? If not, then why he hell is it on archive.org?
>>68756890
that movie was absolutely awful
>>68758025
For stylized 80's japan watch
Heartbreak Yakuza
Detective Monogatari
Violent Cop
The Yakuza Wives
Sailor Suit And Machine Gun
For some bonus 80's Japan watch the horror movie Evil Dead Trap and the tv shows Sukeban Deka and Kamen Rider Black
Air Doll
Like Father Like Son
Still Walking
Our Little Sister
I never see this brought up here so it must not be good but I certainly loved it.
The scene where they're walking down harajuku and the music playing is based as shit
>>68756890
Tokyo Story (1953)
>>68756890
This was some good shit, shame The World of Kanako was kinda shitty.
Kairo (2001)
Absolutely beautiful horror picture detailing a very Japanese Apocalypse

>>68764950
They're both in the more samurai branch. You've made a fool of yourself.
If you like slow paced thriller/mystery/horror films with great atmosphere you should check out Cure. No jump scares either.
Amazing film.
>>68765085
seconded
>>68757951
I've watched the beginning of Tokyo decadence, all the way until she has to go home, i think i stopped because "reasons". I'll probably watch it full sometime soon
>>68764884
i really don't like kurosawa his shit is waaaay overrated
Loved this movie.
>>68764884
where is drunken angel?

>wants Japanese films
>gets assblasted when someone mentions anime titles
Mental retardation taken to the next level.
Fish Story
>Demons (1971) "Shura"
Grimdark arthouse samurai film.
The world is cruel and nightmarish and the film gets very violent at times. Oozing with bleak atmosphere but it's a fantastic film.
If you're going through Japanese New Wave films then Shura is a must see film.
>>68765992
Any other grimdark arthouse recs?
Little Housr by Yamada Yoji
Sonatine is a masterpiece
Is there a japanese equivalent of Chungking Express?
>>68756890
The one where the MC gets cucked.
thermae romae
>>68767069
Noisy Requiem
>>68765085
I love the way late 90's/early 2000's Jap horror movies are shot.
>>68756890
>>68767069
Sword of Doom is kind of along those lines. It's a very bleak and unconventional samurai movie.
>>68767396
I don't know about masterpiece but it's certainly worth a look. Violent Cop and A Scene at the Sea are also really good stuff from Kitano. And Joe Hisaishi can produce some pretty interesting music when he's not set to Ghibli-mode.
>>68768376
Good or gimmicky bullshit?
>>68768725
Genuinely fantastic. Slightly weridly filmed, but fucking GOAT ending and delightfully fucked up. Loved it.
>>68757966
>can somebody explain the "love exposure" meme?
That's just it
It's weird because it's full of memes - memes of Japanese culture that aren't very familiar to us, like under-skirt photography, etc.
>>68769068
This, the pinnacle of animation.
Otherwise watch Akira Kurosawa
>>68756890
It's called anime.
Anything by Sono Sion
Especially cold fish and guilty of romance

I preferred the show. Eva was always a character driven story and episodes 25 and 26 did a perfectly fine job of providing a satisfying conclusion on that front. EoE might have disguised itself as a plot resolution for the lowest common denominator or additional characterization but really I think that it says more about Anno than Shinji or anybody else. It's really impressive what you get when you combine somebody creating with raw emotion rather than creating a thought out by the numbers plot with the lack of limitations that you get from the animated medium but the lack of coherence I think takes some strength away from EoE. It's sort of a mad storm of creative passion and frustration. That's a really damn interesting thing, but the show's ending felt like a much more concise thematic closure for Eva.
Wings of Honneamise was Gainax's true cinematic masterpiece. It's just as technically impressive as EoE while the narrative deals with similar introspective ideas to Eva (more the series than EoE) in a mature and straightforward manner. Eva's ideas on depression and social alienation were interesting and resonated incredibly strongly with its audience since I think that it was a great issue of the time that was more or less unaddressed everywhere, Honneamise deals with bigger, looming questions that have been with us since long before NEETdom was ever a thing and will probably be with us forever. I think that Honneamise deserves more recognition for this and over time will eventually get it. "I mustn't run away" hits hard for us young unhappy folks living in the late 20th/early 21st century but "is my life fulfilling?" will probably apply to everyone, everywhere forever.
Jesus fuck I need to learn to be concise or I'll never get anything done in my life. What was I even saying?
The Human Condition was good if you feel like devoting 10 hours of your life to a climax of depression.
>>68762859
It gets brought up a lot, just not in this thread yet. It's my personal favourite of Miike's but his best has to be Audition.
