"If you were a child and rode on a bike to a place you've never been, you'd feel like it's real but not really real. Gozu is like that. You go to a place you've never been but you don't have to make any sense as to why or how you are there."
HAHA I remember watching this in a theatre here in England. There were three other people in there besides me, and 2 of them left after the opening scene. It was part of an annual Asian cinema season hosted by Cineworld (only the second year running). The following year they cancelled it. Miike has that affect on people hahaha. Such a good film. Fuck the general public, always.
also you can headbutt a cat to demonstrate how you hate communism...see the clip from movie 1800 titled how to battle communism...but this movie is waaaaaaayyy better
i remember going to the cinema asking the ticket guy what a good film to watch.....he told me to watch this....after the film i was questionning this film and thinking wtf...lol.......then i watch old boi...korean movie.....now the fooked up on sum whole new other level....lol
Gozu which means cow or cowhead in Japanese can only be understood if one reads Zen Buddhist mythology. The symbolism and the allegories are related to the bardo which is also related to Tibetan Buddhism as well. The soul is basically taking a journey through hell, purgatory and perdition similar to Dante's Inferno. The different characters along the way represent certain demons, gods and goddesses that one is constantly tested by before rebirth. Actually the story is similar to Orpheus.
I noticed but it was actually done on purpose...if u seen the film u should know...its meant to be surreal and to make you question fact and fantasy...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
O.O.............. ok... that's it... I thought the movie was going to be interesting, but.... why involve the poor little doggie!? Why!? It's just a poor defenseless little dog... I can't stand animal cruelty, not even movies! I just love animals so much, though the scene was like WTF!? "Everything I'm about to tell you is a joke, don't take it seriously" and then he goes and kills the poor dog!! ...I'm glad it's not real, but... poor doggie...
Omg, I love that scene. The movie itself is fucking hilarious, but this has got to be one of the best scenes. That and when he meets Gozu. I laughed til I cried. XDDDDDD
This seen is so cool not just because they kill a dog but the way that it grips you. from when the guy says what im a bout to tell you is a joke, its really gripping and tense and the music when he wlaks out to kill the dog is weird lol. i want to see all miikes films but its hard cos im 14 and my mum isnt happy about all the sexual violence he puts in his films ive only seen doa 1 and 2, audition, hapiness of katakuris (which was shit)
nah i havent seen the film but i have seen a few of miikes's films before and thought they were good.
I like this clip cos they sort of joked about with the thought of killing the dog and then the other guy takes it real seriously and goes and does it! LMAO!
Sooo why does he kill the dog exactly? He tells the other guy in the white rob that everything he is going to tell him is a joke But HE himself goes & slams the dog! I DONT GET IT!
Priceless. Unfortunately, this scene and the ending are the only scenes that, IMO, deserve ovation. I was not impressed with the half-human-half-cow character.
I'm not sure what you're saying. But you can't shorten "Ohaiyou gozaimasu" to just "Ohaiyou" and have it still mean "Good morning" like in English. Japanese doesn't work that way. Their "Good morning" equivalent is an archaic little phrase that doesn't literally translate to the same thing in English.
Anyway, Yakuza speak their own 'ghetto' dialect of Japanese. I guess it's kind of like when you get kids trying to speak like rappers. I have no idea what they're saying. It's like a mangled version of english.
Just saying "Ohaiyou" on its own in Japanese just means "The morning", it's ambiguous. "Gozaimasu" on its own is a very respectful, polite declaration you can stick on the end of thankyous and greetings (and it might also be shortened to GOZU). I'm not a native speaker, just a student, so I could be wrong.
All I meant in my earlier post was that it sounds like they're saying the second half of "Ohaiyou gozaimasu". 5 months ago, I was surprised to hear them say "Gozaimasu" without "Ohaiyou" before it.
you should put a clip of the two old guys in the resturant who keeps repeating themselves, this is one of my FAVORITE movies where did you get it? Or rather, where can I get it?

You mean that you never shorten words?
You've never said, 'Morning' rather than say 'Good Morning'?
Hell, sometimes I even leave out the 'g' and say 'mornin'.
Maybe I'm a crazy rebel, but I'm pretty sure other people shorten words...even the Japanese.
