Hana-Bi - Trailer - (1997) - HQ

[StatelessRich]

I wonder if the scene @0:50 is inspired by Le Samourai?

[PigsyCyberBully]

Such a boring B film. The actors didn't know what to do because they kept on changing the storyline. They added an extra bit to the ending they sliced some bits into the middle. The actors look directly into the camera for directions. It's like an home made B-movie.

[fallyfresh7]

why's this guy so up himself?

[SuperOmnicron]

@fallyfresh7 ...Cinematic legend. Speaks to the frustration of a very stoic psychology that japanese males have .... but its too violent for some japanese tastes. He's better known in the Silver Bear, Venice Film Festival crowd.

[hi7hi7hi7hi7hi7]

what is the song name start at 0:00

[Kankannan]

@hi7hi7hi7hi7hi7 hi I know I'm late but the song starting at 0:00 is "Painters" by Joe Hisaishi

[Lucignolone90]

Not only a perfect movie but one of the best trailer i've ever seen....

[NoyabrNovember]

One of Kitano's best films. Love it as much as "A Scene at The Sea", "Sonatine", "Dolls".

hello a page on facebook about thriller moovie is now open : calibre 38 if you want to join.

[RichiBitch]

just finished watching it and of course it destroyed my mood...

[Godzilla52]

I think the problem with the trailer is it's misrepresented as an action movie in this when it's more of an art house film, that what happened when i saw Hana-bi and Sonatine, both great movies. their just not advertised correctly in my opinion.

[NoyabrNovember]

@Godzilla52 You are absolutely right. The trailers to "Hana-bi" and "Sonatine" really try to create an image of a "brutal action film", or "an explosive new film", as this particular trailer describes it, while "Hana-bi" concentrates on feelings for the most part. 70% of feelings, 30% of violence - that's how I personally see "Hana-bi" ("Fireworks")

[CaLiReav3r]

Where can I watch this film? I can't watch it on Netflix so I guess I'm pretty much screwed, cause I know my local video rental store is not going to have it :(

[D1g1Snacks]

@CaLiReav3r ugh...you can rent it on netflix or buy it online (ahem ebay).

[RaghavnairMr]

epic movie....in south india director myshkin was deeply influenced by takeshi's movies....he is a genious

[michaelatkinsonhere]

Has anone seen Kitanos film Brother, if so, is it good?

[mrSwiftmind]

@michaelatkinsonhere It's quite okay actually. Not his best film but it's definitely worth a watch.

[michaelatkinsonhere]

SUPERB:::::::::

[shadowpal2]

Just watched the movie...it certainly needs a rewatch because I as an audience didn't do my part of really watching and understanding. There's so much this film says symbolically.

Of course because my shoulder is sore, I just really could not concentrate as I usually do. But the end got me. ...from my first watch though, I have to say it's a good film. And will most likely be even better my 2nd watchthrough.

The film is quite unique.

[r00kie104]

The score of the movie was absolutely beautiful and oh so haunting.

[beatles5445]

...and it says so right at the end. awesome.

[beatles5445]

hana bi means fireworks, if anyone cares.

[mabor0shi]

Very nice movie, didn't like the blood effects, but the rest was great, specially the music by joe hisaishi and I loved the ending :-)

最後のたった二言。しかもありふれた言葉なのに涙ボロボロだった­。

[eugen2702]

where i can download this movie????

[P4rodyTV]

aha, Not bad

[kritikerx]

takeshi is irresponsible and disgusting human being

He was promoted ”nuclear power plants”.

[4242263]

@kritikerx But you know what......

Japan has better stories than American movies.......

now days in america, they don`t give a shit about stories....... they just makes movies look cool with computer graphics and stuffs for ex. I am number 4

[wojack1000]

If you've never watched any Takeshi Kitano movies, then you've just hit a vein of gold. His movies have violence, but really the main thing about his movies are peace, tranquility, and beauty. You have to see it to understand what I'm saying.

[MsBickle76]

dude from mxc! he so funny1

[92310CAMILLE]

wow ,the writer

the editor

the director

and the actor??

amazing

[5anjuro]

@92310CAMILLE he also did those paintings for the picture (he's an amateur artist too).. i somewhere red him joking that he mainly made this movie to promote his paintings hehe

[92310CAMILLE]

@5anjuro really ?wow,i'm totally with him...Go Asian Movies...

[mwindon]

Check out my latest blog on the multi talented and legendary Takeshi Kitano @DPMarcWindon

[RobertoWatchin]

I'm excited.. I'm buying..

[bigbadmateus]

i saw this movie and sonatine when they first came out and loved them but thought i was maybe reading too much into them. Having read a lot of these comments it seems that i wasnt :)

[fortpflanzor]

10x mieux que Sonatine...

[wojack1000]

Takeshi Kitano is amazing! His movies are unique and very original. There is violence in his movies, but there is poetry and magic unlike anything I've ever seen, and the music is always great. If you've never watched his movies, then you are missing something.

[lazthaking]

Song called - hana bi, from joe hisaishi, best composer ever

[thesmartape1]

what's the name of the song that shows at the starting of the trailer?

[SuperSkaJoe]

@thesmartape1 The piece is 'Painters' off the Hana Bi OST.

[IskArioT27]

nice tune

[rawfflecakes]

just finished watching sonatine this is next on my list XD

[Ander01SE]

Hana-Bi and Dolls are in my opinion his best two movies. Hana-Bi has everything a good movie should have, while Dolls is an awesome display of beauty.

[01allblacks1]

銀行強盗のシーン好き。リアル。

[ProfondoFilmTopo]

True yakuza! It kinda reminds me of Scorsese's TAXI DRIVER (1976) except it's Japan. I'd say it Kitano's best film since SONATINE (1993). Very powerful for me to watch, Kitano shows what yakzua is all about. One of my all-time favorites and a must see for any fans of Japanese cinema (including yakuza films like this one). :)

[BillionDollarZombie]

Way better than Mitchum I would say. More in line with the (acting) talent of James Coburn, directing of Sam Peckinpah, and editing of Martin Scorcese.

Not to mention his fighting skillz.

[ashishsawawnt26]

Must watch movie before death I am Indian and I am lucky that I watched this movie

[fgsrty]

ソナチネよりＨＡＮＡＢＩがいい。

[kyoshintama]

love this movie ^^

[iwtbb53]

たけし　才能　ある　たけし　とても　とても　奥深い人間

たけし　の　映画　おもしろい　考えさせられる

でも　拳銃ぶっぱなしたり　ナイフ　人にむけて　自然落下させたり

そんなシーンばかり強調すると

死を　軽く　描写してると　勘違いされる

とても　残念

予告篇　作ってる　大手映画会社の　サラリーマンの人

もっと　もっと　えぇ感じの　かっけえ　予告編作ってください

[blackjuveniles]

@iwtbb53

というかヒーローじゃないよね。成功の物語でも失敗の物語でもな­く、

とても生きることに耐えられないとき、受け止めてくれる人がいる­だけで良い、

乾いた暴力も、青く静かな画面も、その瞬間のためだけにある。

だから暴力シーンがとても綺麗なんだよね。

[tamori1983]

この映画はサイコーですね。(^_^)

ちゃんと見ないでたけし映画を見ない人は最低これだけでも見て欲­しいですね。

[owtatowttowt]

annother good een.

[hidden3717]

This film is epic. Mr Kitano sure knows how to make and act in a film, he is one of my all time favourite directors.

[aetechllc]

Beat is the best! This guy is pure soul without guilt. If he was an American he have several Oscars by now! Sounds racist but it is simply the truth.

[anthonyjthorne]

One of the greatest films ever made. For a wrong-headed laugh, check Ebert's lukewarm review of it. Kitano recovered from his accident and poured his very soul into this movie. The music, the imagery - easily one of my favourite films ever. Bravo, Beat Takeshi, this film will live forever.

[custino22]

pour moi ce film est le meilleurs film de kitano

[Kankannan]

Just finished watching this movie and it went straight to my top 5 movies of all time... what a masterpiece...

[mihemahe]

@Kankannan what are the other four?

[Kankannan]

@mihemahe Seven samurai, the good, the bad and the ugly, princess mononoke and Yojimbo... closely followed by tarantino movies =) how about you?

[mihemahe]

@Kankannan it's hard to do a ranking. i've got a very broad taste in films. and for me there are different types of favorites. e.g. movies i love but wouldn't watch again. like man bites dog, funny games or reosemarie's baby. they were too disturbing. BUT: masterpieces. most films i can watch over and over again, are trash movies and cheesy actioners. i love john waters' flicks, especially pecker. another favorite is commando. and then there are dawn of the dead, shaun of the dead ...

[mihemahe]

@Kankannan ... and some german / austrian movies like silentium and der knochenmann (the bone man). well, our favorites differntiate much. but i also like leone's westerners and studio ghibli movies. did i already mention my broad taste? ;)

[uejinoniwa]

Genius,KItano

[Manzeron]

@uejinoniwa

Correction: Genius, Kitano and Hisaishi.

[sebastianfranco]

@uejinoniwa absolutly



[uejinoniwa]

@sebastianfranco Thanks!

[sireariel]

Un tipo de esos se parece a mi maestro de química.

[Funloverdude]

I love this film. I feel western cinema has rejected the real not "Spiritual" issues but the "Things we cant really touch" eg the sacrifical roles that are presented in this film. Even western films which do present this point fail to have people like Kitano behind them, for example Kitano is a megastar in Japan, myself speaking as citizen of the United Kingdom, has no one of his standing to us as an example. And no one even near his level would attempt such risks with this kind of film.

[poconyanpocopoco]

Kitano often says his performances, movies too, are all plays, that is not serious at all, but movie is convenient when the harvests are arranged from every field. He has recently started the work of news commentator at live, and college professor, morepver he's been comedian, TV personality, politc commentator, actor, painter, poet, novelist, and love Mathematics. But his movie works are special, filled with elements usually we cannot see, all arranged and destloyed.

[woodsaver]

But you have the Queen, lol.

[Funloverdude]

Aye! And God bless her! lol

[trasonsoca]

@Funloverdude Kitano is not a megastar in Japan. There he is just an old comedian.

[Funloverdude]

@trasonsoca Sorrwee..

[GAFFTV]

I saw this on my DVD copy of Hana-Bi and I must say I was shocked.... this is a COMPLETE misenterpretation of the film! It's perhaps the worst example I've seen for making a film out to be something it's not... a violent action movie for example...!

[MizuruTakagi]

I need to see this. I just bought it, thank goodness. I HAVE to see this movie. I'm such a big fan of his films

[ofP06o]

Epic

[aquistou19]

What's the name of the song?

[CaMoyBepeH]

Name of the song is Hana-bi or longer version Thank you...For Everything.

[arthouseaddict]

going by song titles on the soundtrack, it begins part of 'painters' which then blends into 'ever love' (at about 40 seconds in).

[MonkeyPiiT]

Greatest MASTERPIECE of KITANO...5*****

[Oplexicon]

My 2nd fav. soundtrack of ALLTIME!!

[Funloverdude]

Best film in the past 20 years maybe...nah probably more!

[Jundamane]

one of the best easily
