What do you think of his movies?
just recent i got into his movies,it was after i saw zatoichi
So after that i decided to buy a bunch of movies he made.

so far i saw :
-zatoichi (of course )
-kikujiro (very cool movie)
-sonatine (brutal yakuza movie )
-Hana-bi (aka fireworks,i think this is defenitly his greatest movie)
-brother (yakuza member comes to america)

i liked every single one of them.
so tell me what movies you saw that he made and what did you think of it ?

Well i know one amazing movie which he was preforming at but he didnt write or directed it.

one of the best war movies i ever saw "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence"

highly recomanded!

hmmm that title pops up often so i guess i am going to search for it

Haven't seen Brother, looks awesome...

How gory is the violence? Like fake gore (kill bill, Versus) or like realistic rotten.com $hit?

I've gotta see the rest of his movies. Only saw Brother and another weird one with him and a lil boy.

Takeshi "beat" Kitano is a genius. I've been a huge fan of his films for years now. As an actor, he has done some great work, starring in his own films and others, like Battle Royale.

However, its as a director I really appreciate his work. His films can be comical and light hearted, or brutal and even violent, but they are always intelligent with great characterisations.

I eagerly look forward to seeing his latest work, "Takeshis'".

ive just finished downloading takeshis.
i think i am going to watch it real soon it looked realy nice and srewed up,because takeshi is playing takeshi kitano and beat takeshi (theyre the same person)

currently i am looking for boiling point and violent cop because i want to expand my takeshi kitano dvd collection.
but i live in the netherlands and so far i havent been able to find them.
so i guess i'l have to order them online.

^^ I assure you that you won't be disappointed when you do get Violent Cop and Boiling point, great films

I have got Hanabi on DVD, love that film. He's very talented as director and actor.

yeah hana-bi was great !! it has such a buiteafull story
now i am waiting till i get takeshi kitano's brother by dvd cuss i orderd it online
and i dont know why people say that this is one of his worst movies???
ok maybe its not like hana-bi but its still realy good

Okay I seen trailers and clips of Brother....

Does this movie have any moral or anything? Like is there someone in the movie that is a 'good' guy? (good like "Scarface")

Cuz I can't find it for rent...and I might order it if it's good....I don't wanna buy it if it's a pointless story...You know how alot of Japanese movies are just crazy...

zatoichi is the best of them all, only on the last it is irritating and non-realistic (remember that silly show by geisha's)...

the movie brother whas one of his worst movies.

Not a fan.

Only seen zaitochi. It was decent.

I liked Kikujiro!

It was and all at the same time. Very cute!

I dont like his movie.

I have seen his Hanabi and it is a work of art. The images are subtle yet they deliver a great amount of impact to the audience. It gives you the lingering feeling of sadness to it.

Those who have not seen his latest work "Blood and Bones" should do yourselves a favor by watching it ASAP.

Beat Takeshi does have his ups and downs in films. I can't seem to appreciate "Brother". I can never relate myself to that film... somehow. Perhaps I am missing something but I dislike "Brother" from the beginning to the end.

You know if there is a good theme to it or no?
