Izo - Sword Fights

[@Breakfast_of_Champions]

It's meant as the second part of an older movie from the 1960s. Izo was a terrorist and got betrayed by his Lord. He returns as a demon to take revenge on the world. It's realized with many bloody swordfights and lots of asian philosopy. If you make the effort to understand what is going on it may change your life forever. One of the greatest films by Takashi Miike from when he was still doing whatever he wanted.

I just watched everything everywhere all at once and instantly got the izo vibes

[@BroomPusher2024]

Basically playing a action rpg on God Mode with no equipment except the sword

[@NeluIrodica-s7f]

Am văzut pe DVD tot așa un film killer cu buzdugane frate cu dinți de alea cu buzdugane și tot felul de nu știu ce altele Kung fu care se aseamănă și copilul acesta și altele 🎬📺🌍🤴

i've honestly would never have thought of a movie idea like this....looks like a good movie

[@eagle9427]

Izo是杀不死的，他是人们心中的苦闷，人们心中的挣扎，人们心中的恶魔，也是人们心中最脆弱的那一部分

Izo is Highlander on PCP

I don't believe in hell, but this movie is a great representation of it. This is an awesome movie for thoughtful people. You reap what you sow and then some because life isn't fair. It's a theological masterpiece with great action, 4th dimensional shit, and so many WTF moments that it's haunting. If you watch Izo, it'll haunt you. It's implications are scarier than anything in the bible. You will be a different person. Fuck that live by the sword, die by the sword bullshit. That logic falls on its face the minute a person who has never touched a weapon dies by a weapon. Your best chance for survival is being good with a sword. Live by the sword and be sentenced to eternal swordplay with no rest. That's a hell to be scared of. That is "Izo".

Best explanation of this film I’ve read since I first saw it back in 2006, and first thought, “What the fuck did I just see??”

[@similaritiesendhere]

@@benmcfee I completely forgot about this movie. My two favorite scenes are: 1. When he meets the older assassin who accepts his punishment and is therefore able to easily defeat Izo 2. When Izo becomes a powerful enough demon to challenge Lucifer and gets bitch slapped anyways. I guess I know what I'm watching tonight.

[@dreadz2dreadz]

@butoden I understood it as an outlet for the incredible amounts of aggression and violence pent up in the japanese culture. What takashi miike did with this film was bring realism back to death and the katana, which despite the fantasy depictions of sword slashers is still understood to be "really fucking deadly".

ご飯食べてる家族を横切るシーンで、撮影の際、子役の子供達は「これ、何の撮影なんだろう？」とか思ってたりしたのかな

[@davhot4107]

This is like playing FATE GO 😆

[@NeluIrodica-s7f]

Bună seara domnilor japonezi filme actori japonezi vreau să vă transmit că și eu tot așa un film killer ca filmul ăsta și altele

[@Eldritch-1]

Izo was a real person he couldn't become a samurai legit, so he killed cats and dogs until he was really good at killing and im pretty sure he actually sucked at it and was crucified.

[@Tangolino1]

Great movie! You'll love it or you'll hate it,no middle way,but it's a must-see for everyone. It needs some knowledge about eastern religious concepts (or some research afterward) to fully understand its symbolism.

[@itak365]

Aw, you forgot the duel where they both die and then he gets back up again like 30 seconds later.

[@butoden]

Yeah it's really something else!!! If u have a chance you should see it but it is a totally confusing movie

[@shadowdance4666]

Love his scream

[@雨上がりのなまこ]

10数年前に見て印象に残ってる映画。 戦いの螺旋。煉獄。 猫がティラノサウルスに追いかけられるアニメーション観て思い出した。

[@shadowdance4666]

O_o Love that yell!

[@danle7022]

so good

[@iodgrsu8953kif]

やっぱり映画の中では一番好きかも… 続編みたいなの出してもらいたいですけどこれはこれで一回で終わってしまうからいいんでしょうね…

[@Eldritch-1]

I like to think of it as a time travel story and the temporal shifting has fucked his brain.

[@goukison81]

@butoden the movie is called Izo?

[@butoden]

Yeah it's called Izo and it's from 2004

[@Klappergoegoe]

LOL hillarious, ninja fighting n00bs in a SWAT costume XD

[@shadowscreed17021]
