    Yakuza Film Genre

    One of the favorite film genres of the public has to be Crime and some of the best of them come from Japan and revolve around the Yakuza. With the release of a High Definition transfer of Kinji Fukasaku's Battles Without Honor and Humanity and its sequels in the near future, it would be interesting to see an article that examines these films that started the genre and where it is now or write about contemporaries and favorites of the genre. Another director to look at is Takeshi Kitano who created some of the best in the genre with Sonatine, Outrage, and Beyond Outrage.

      Authors approval or not, a film should just be good. There are times when the author and director can collaborate and create something original from the source material, such as 2006 film Little Children, but there are also times when the writer has to change the source material or else it would either be a period piece or something that just wouldn’t work. The example given in the article was The Long Goodbye but you have to remember that when those books were written. It was a completely different time and frame of mind than when the film was made in 1973. Altman knew this and had the character of Marlowe play out as though he was still in post WW2 Los Angeles even though it was set in the 1970’s. That is probably what makes The Long Goodbye the most interesting to watch out of all the adaptations listed.

      An entire article about Tarantino and no mention of Roger Avary. Shame Shame.

      Its a good article for someone that knows a bit about the fighting game scene but it feels as though it doesn’t get the whole picture to someone who is just reading about this for the first time.
