When a member of the Japanese Yakuza is arrested in New York, detectives Nick Conklin and Charlie Vincent are assigned to escort him to Japan. Conklin in particular is none too pleased that they are not prosecuting the prisoner themselves. They no sooner arrive in Japan however than they are duped and turn their prisoner over to gangsters posing as police. The detectives stay on in Japan hoping to work with their Japanese counterparts but have some difficulty dealing with local protocol and customs. Over time, Conklin develops a working relationship with Detective Masahiro and together they manage to ensure justice is served.
Two NYC cops arrest a Yakuza member and must escort him when he's extradited to Japan.
Directed by Ridley Scott, so we already know it's going to be good.
For me, the film belongs to Ken Takahura, who epitomises the cultural clash this film is all about. Quiet, structured, and obscure - he is typically Japanese to our eyes. I had a friend like this some time ago, and just loved the bounce of cultures between us. I always liked the Samurai way, and he came to see that a bloody Irish gaijin could see it too.
Back to the film. It has all the action you could want, and with great cinematography and soundtrack throughout.
And the best part?. The cultures meet and finally reach an understanding in the final sequences.
Yusaku Matsuda showed a Samurai spirit too in this filming. He certainly looked healthy enough to me. Apparently not.
Highly Recommended.
After a stunning start in films, Ridley Scott staggered a bit before returning to form with Thelma and Louise. This is part of the staggering. Black Rain starts like a made for TV movie, then improves slightly by becoming another bland, boring cop movie. Water on the streets to give the shots "depth", and just about every other modern mainstream movie cliche. Plot trot while eating or drinking or just standing around trying to look interesting. OK - some of the shots have echoes of Blade Runner, but without the atmosphere and intelligence of that film those echoes just make this mess all the more painful to watch.
One for the money, two for the show, three to get ready and four to go home.
It's risky making an action picture that breaks its violent stride to emphasize the difficulties of living up to preconceived ideas of masculinity. But it's that risk that makes Black Rain distinctive. By refusing to beat its Eastern and Western protagonists into comic-book pulp, the movie pays them, and the audience, a rare compliment.
It's part of the bushido code of conduct that the ancient samurai and the yakuza gangsters adhere to. During the days of the Japanese warlords and the samurai, a dishonorable act carried the punishment of severing one's own finger or part of. The idea was that a samurai that was missing part of a finger or multiple fingers wouldn't be able to wield his katana (samurai sword) as effectively. The Japanese word for the act is yubitsume. On August 6th and 9th, 1945, during World War II, the United States dropped atomic bombs on two Japanese cities. The first, on August 6th, was the western city of Hiroshima, which had been a major Japanese shipping port and industrial production site. The second bomb was dropped on another western city, Nagasaki, three days later when Emperor Hirohito refused to surrender. Following the devastation of those bombings, Hirohito ordered his country's surrender, ending the United States' war with Japan.
Sugai's involvement in this chain of events is that he lived in one of those cities -- which city is not revealed -- as a boy and was there when the bomb was dropped. As he states "I was 10 when the B-29 came. We were underground for three days. When we came up, the city was gone. Then the heat brought rain; black rain." What Sugai is suggesting is that the pollution from the atomic fallout had somehow turned the rain black. Sugai goes on to say that following the war American values were forced on to his people by the United States, who had agreed to aid in the rebuilding of Japanese society due to the destruction caused not only by the atomic bombings but also from the many other non-atomic bombings of other Japanese cities during the war in the Pacific. The United States became Japan's occupying force following the war and Japanese citizens like Sugai felt that their cultural and societal identity was slowly being stolen from them as a result of such policies. Sugai's ultimate plan is to flood the American economy with counterfeit money and reap the benefits of such a crime. a5c7b9f00b
