Hana-bi - Takeshi Kitano's Heart

[@Marco_Venieri]

il mio film preferito, un'autentica poesia visiva. nella musica e nelle immagini, è entrato nella mia pelle

[@xcotoletta]

La prima volta che guardai (un po' per caso) Hana-bi rimasi semplicemente a bocca aperta, ricordo che era mezzanotte passata e decisi di riguardarlo immediatamente (dopo aver preso una boccata d'aria). Non riesco ad evitare di commuovermi al pensiero, ho addirittura preso ispirazione e ho cominciato a dipingere un pochino nei miei momenti bui. Sicuramente uno tra i miei film preferiti di sempre

Hana-Bi - That's the movie I will always say, when people ask me about my favorite movie. But most people don't know that movie, let alone a Kitano movie. I haven't studied film and I'm not deep into movies, but that one spoke to me, when I first watched it. That being said, the first time experience was the greatest of course. Saw no trailer, read no summary, didn't knew what this was about and what will happen. And the music of Joe Hisaishi, which music I love, adds to the atmosphere and story, this movie has. Kitano sure loves to play the dramatic hero/main character with just a minimum use of words. Well, in some way, it has a cool touch.

[@LucaGrazioli]

Thanks for sharing your experience! I understand you well, something similar happened to me with Sonatine. Never saw the trailer, never read the plot, and I didn't know Kitano. What an experience!

[@chintansheth8534]

@@LucaGrazioli Sonatine is my all time favorite movie. Its message, the place, the music, the humour is so much connected to my life - escape but escape and have fun to your own doom! indeed what an experience.. and play on the sands what a scene what a song

[@LucaGrazioli]

@@chintansheth8534 Totally agree. Masterpiece!

[@enso7890]

I still remember when I saw Hana-Bi for the first time in the cinema. That ending. So simple, so devastating. Every shot is burned into my mind. I remember walking out of the cinema into the night, shaken. My chest was so tight it was hard for me to breathe.

[@brunospo]

same here!

[@Belznis]

I remember how it hurt watching this movie, but it was a movie that changed my world. Even now I find difficult rewatching just the explanation. Kitano is a great director and also a good actor, he is very talented and I hope we see him more.

[@てんちん-h7j]

すばらしい解説です！ 黒澤明監督も、北野映画は無駄な説明がないから好きだといっていました。 また、武自身もそれを著書で"因数分解理論"と呼んでいます。 武のルーツは工学部なので、編集には理系的な緻密さがありますが、撮影時には台本をその場で作ってしまうという鋭い感覚も同時に持ち合わせていて本当にすごいと思います。 Great video! Akira Kurosawa also said that he likes Kitano films because there are no redundant explanations. Kitano called it the "factorization theory" in his book. Since Takeshi's roots are in the engineering department, his editing has scientific precision. In addition, he has a keen sense of perception that allows him to change scripts on the spot during filming.

[@LucaGrazioli]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate your comment. Indeed, what made me fall in love with Kitano's cinema are precisely those bursts of emotion that arise from simple, brutal and unexpected cuts. But also the playful scenes that arise from everyday moments.

One of the best video essays I’ve seen in a long time. Good Job

[@LucaGrazioli]

Wow, thank you very much! It means a lot to me.

[@stuartsimpson4070]

This was a fucking fabulous essay! Thank you so much! i'm going to watch all the rest of your work based on this!

[@LucaGrazioli]

Thank you very much! I'm glad to hear that. I hope you enjoy my other work too :)

[@clockworklegionaire2135]

Love Takeshi's movies, Joe Hisaishi's music made this movie stand out ever more than it already did. And made my favorite score ever.

[@LucaGrazioli]

True! Amazing soundtrack!

[@guillaumep850]

Great video ! Kitano is my favorite director of all time !

[@LucaGrazioli]

Thank you very much! He is also my favourite living director!

[@firstofnineteenth]

I absolutely love the video, Kitano is also my favorite director and i love his music. I dont know if you will, but if you ever make a video about the rest of his career like his singing, art, and dancing it would be amazing. Its hard to really follow everything he did because his work wasnt well known in the west. I appreciate your video and channel!

[@LucaGrazioli]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate your comment. If I ever find some time I may make a video on other parts of his career as well. Thank you again!

[@KrypticKratos]

Favorite film of all time

[@birgerwessel]

Thank you! For making a video on one of my all time favorite movies. I really enjoyed it😊

[@LucaGrazioli]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@komarithsoth422]

Thank you!

[@tanntei-hiroto]

amazing！i'm Japanese and i like takeshi's film.beautiful film.😊

[@kben24]

I watched this movie a few years ago and always meant to rewatch it… The junkyard scene with the girl, has always stuck in my head. …there’s also an Italian movie called "Troubling Love"(L'amore molesto, 1995) that I saw during the same time period, and that movie was sooooo good that I had to stop watching films for a year or two, just to let my brain readjust back to normal expectations.

[@rastarising]

I've gotten see this movie. You made me so interested.

[@perprerp]

Fantastic! Thank you

[@LucaGrazioli]

Really happy you like it!

[@ActionQuackson]

Great video!

[@LucaGrazioli]

Thank you!

[@JazzLover62]

Первый фильм Китано, с которого я познакомился с его творчеством. Бесподобный фильм, красивейшая музыка его постоянного композитора Хисаиши! Спасибо!!!

[@LucaGrazioli]

Thanks to you for watching it!

Great taste you have

[@LucaGrazioli]

Eh eh thank you! :)

[@dante22723]

Masterpiece movie one of the best ever made

[@DJSinisterMetal]

May I ask where you obtained the script?! I'd love to read it!

[@LucaGrazioli]

Hey, thanks a lot! The script is an excerpt from my graduation thesis entitled "Beat Takeshi Kitano - Anatomy of a Shadow". In particular, the video takes from a chapter dedicated to the author's editing. Unfortunately my thesis is written in Italian, but if you are interested I can send it to you :)

[@MagoMerlino717]

Ottima analisi, è difficile trovare qualcuno interessato a Kitano in Italia, anzi quando parlo dei film di Kitano con amici giapponesi pochi hanno visto o conoscono i suoi film e lo riconoscono per i suoi comedy Hanabi è il giusto mix di violenza e “emotività” tra i suoi film ed è quello che consiglierei a chiunque voglia avvicinarsi alle sue opere, ma non è il mio preferito

[@LucaGrazioli]

Ti ringrazio! In effetti hai ragione. Per la mia tesi di laurea ho dedicato l'ultimo capitolo alla figura di Kitano ai giorni nostri attraverso un centinaio di interviste di giapponesi che vivono in Giappone (di tutte le età, dai giovani ai più anziani). In generale lui è ancora molto famoso e riconosciuto a livello televisivo (soprattutto nelle fasce over 40) mentre i ragazzini conoscono il nome e il volto ma non viene più seguito come un tempo. Mentre per il cinema pochissime sono le persone che conoscono i suoi film e lo vedono come un vero autore (quando da noi in Italia è conosciuto solamente per questo).

[@MagoMerlino717]

Da noi pero è molto conosciuto per Takeshi castle, che non sono comedy ma comunque un format comico e non sicuramente intrinseco di critica velata alla società e di vita dei suoi film Oltre alle suoi abilità di sceneggiatura e come attore in se, una dei suoi punti deboli (o forse punto forte?) è che non si pubblicizza e non si da al political correct (vedesi la sua ultima critica a Cannes)

[@ramiahmed5047]

Wonderful video I wished you talked about Joe Hisaishi music and how did Kitano use it to add more layers to the joyful-tragedy trip

[@LucaGrazioli]

Thank you very much! You are right, I actually completely forgot to include a comment about Joe Hisaishi. I will pay more attention on the music part for future projects!

[@anais6163]

Is your degree thesis somewhere available to read? If so, I am interested!

[@LucaGrazioli]

Hi! It's not available online, but if you are interested I can email it to you. Unfortunately, however, it is written entirely in Italian. Let me know :)

[@onimanu3444]

bel video

[@chintansheth8534]

what a wonderful tribute of sorts to my favorite artist! nothing beats beat takeshi kitano's work and spirit. surely he runs in a parallel independent dimension of brilliance like akira kurosawa. thank you for making this! and is there a place where i can watch all of his movies?

[@LucaGrazioli]

Hello and thank you very much for the compliments! Unfortunately, I can't recommend a place to see all his films, some are on DVD and some maybe on streaming :)

[@The-Filter]

in love most of his movies, somehow this one tickles me the most! The weight of this movie can't be described. Get's me very hard! Also, the bank robery is the best in cinematic history! Joe Hisaishi's music underlines tikano's mix of violence and beauty in one of his best compositions as well. Very sensitive master class of composing. And yes, >Kitano's Heart!< I agree.
