Asian Trash Cinema Has Become Respectable

Rating: 7/10 (23 April 2014)

One of the Reasons Film Geeks like Tarantino Gravitated to and Revel in Asian Trash Cinema is that the Oriental Mind-Set does not Feel Comfortable in the West and therefore Their Movies are Off Center and "Foreign", Cultish and Creative in a way that can Never be Accomplished on the Home Front. They Literally Speak a Different Language. In More Ways than One.
But Now, thanks to the Likes of QT and John Woo, among others, it has become Fashionable to Approach these Things in the Mainstream as High-Art. Decades Ago when there was Godzilla, Kung-Fu, and the Like, it used to be Laughed at and Scorned, Belittled and Bashed as Cheap Exploitation and Drive-In and Grind-House Fodder by the Late to Arrive Film Critics.
Welcome to the New Millennium. It is a Fact this Film has Artistic Merit (didn't those aforementioned types) and a Bigger Budget and more Attention to Detail. But the Surprise is just how much Praise has been Heaped on this Hodgepodge of Sickening and Disgusting, Dirty and Unattractive Actors and Scenes. Have You been Repulsed Yet, have You been Shocked Yet?
The Twisted Ending, and the Violence and Sadism, are neither that Repulsive or that Shocking in this Millennium so just why, You may ask, is this Film so Well Regarded. It is because those who have come Late to the Party, are Pretending to have been there all along.
Above Average, Overrated, and Entertaining if You Dare.
