nona cyan's review on Casshern

This Japanese sci-fi movie was released in 2004,and based on anime with the same title from 1973. This poster almost-kiss version of the movie is quite interesting i think. The soundtrack was quite good actually, Shiina Ringo's Kuki - is a well-written song, i've listened to this before watching the movie...built some expectation indeed...

Umm..this time i'd let alia and olio to review this movie..

alia : Oh wow! look at the production designs! Soo detailed! The helicopters,trains,interior and architectures...

olio : uhuh..and what an ordinary 20's car were doing there? a bit misplaced don't you think?
but WHY they're using those Russian alphabets? Is this some Leninism thingy? and What about that Mao-styled holograms of the general? This movie is about communism in the future!

alia : Umm,i guess they just want to emphasizes the dictatorship of the general? But, Olio, the costumes and the color...SOO POETIC!

olio : poetic my [censored]! is just gothic meets those harajuku girlz. the only thing that make sense is the villain's robe. RED,inspired by the flag.

alia : HEY! the costumes ARE wonderful! especially Casshern's white bodysuit and mask!

olio : Since he's the lead,he should wear the best costume don't cha think? Personally i don't get the half mask...looks weird... And what about him being confined in that jar then suddenly gifted with super-human strength?
Well okay,fair enough, if the mutated himself after his resurrection. BUT, Yusuke Iseya just can't ACT, after the fight he went numb...yea rite!

alia : hum..ok...but he can fight..

olio : Yea,the fighting scenes were cool. Good special effects. Well, there is something very cool in this movie though..

alia : which part?

olio : the body-parts pools! With all the manufactured bodyparts in pools of BLOOD!
