    An Elephant Sitting Still

    I was recommended to watch this movie, which made me self-conscious about what impression I leave on people for such a movie to be recommended to me.

    ★★★

    I've watched Hokuriku Proxy War because it was shot entirely in Hokkaido and looked like a very snowy movie. The movie was ok, I could see what Yakuza games clearly borrowed from it, honestly, if I wasn't a fan of the games, the movie probably would've been very confusing, but the only thing I didn't understand is why did the movie have so few exterior shots. There are actually not that many exterior shots, when snow is on screen it…

    Utterly worthless bullshit shot in a basement. Some performances are decent but these actors are failed by a very bad script that's unsalvageable if you don't know the story of the games, and outright offensive if you do know the story. Attempt to speedrun 3 games in the series and each one has cutscenes that beat this entire series cinematically is embarrassing. The only thing that kind of worked is expansion on Nishikiyama's sister and how seamlessly it was interwoven into conflict between Kiryu and Nishikiyama, the rest is so laughably pathetic it's not even worth talking about.

    Turns out Twin Peaks was David Lynch on training wheels.
