And I'm simultaneously proud and deeply ashamed to say that I've got it, despite not speaking a word of Japanese. Well, ok, <I>a</I> word. And that word is my occupation. <B>Ninja</B>. But that's just between us.<BR/><BR/>So, yeah, that poster seems to be from a movie called <I>Belladonna of Sadness</I> or <I>The Tragedy of Belladonna</I> (<I>Kanashimi nō Beradonna</I>, 悲しみのべらドンナ) which was a 1973 <I>anime</I> feature from the guys who made that staple of my childhood, <I>Kimba the White Lion</I>, "based" on Jules Michelet's 1862 treatise <I>La Sorcière</I> (<I>Sorcery</I>) on witchcraft in Europe, the lead character's being named Jeanne in honor of St. Joan of Arc who shows up in <I>La Sorcière</I>.<BR/><BR/>It would probably make out with you, but not in a nice way, as it's apparently "the story of Jeanne, a peasant woman who is raped, which leads to her being accused of witchcraft, and is notable for its graphic and suggestively erotic, violent and psychedelic imagery."<BR/><BR/>Here's your <A HREF="http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0071203/" REL="nofollow">IMDb</A> for the movie (searching for "Belladonna," one learns it's an actress's <I>nom du porn</I>. Lovely.), and your Wikipedias for <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belladonna_of_Sadness" REL="nofollow">悲しみのべらドンナ</A>, <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_Michelet" REL="nofollow">Michelet</A>, and <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanism_and_Witchcraft" REL="nofollow"><I>La Sorcière</I></A>. (And what the hell, here's <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimba_the_White_Lion" REL="nofollow"><I>Kimba</I></A>)<BR/><BR/>Here's what appears to be <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPorlYagXp8" REL="nofollow">a seven-minute trailer</A> for it. As with all Japanese popular culture, it appears to delve deeply into and grapple profoundly with the eternal existential-philosophical question, What the Fucking Fuck Was That?<BR/><BR/><B><A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_p2VXN0xDTY" REL="nofollow">KIMBA!</A></B>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-74719709030625188212008-06-14T00:05:00.000-04:002008-06-14T00:05:00.000-04:00Is it wrong that I now totally want to see a "Trum...Is it wrong that I now totally want to see a "Truman Show" sequel where he has to live on live TV with a house full of critters? <BR/><BR/>That "Dead Silence" poster would have seriously messed me up when I was younger....might be messing with my head a little right now as a matter of face.<BR/><BR/>I think the imagery in the [•REC] poster represents how none of of sees the real troubles around us. Be it a child lost in a crowd, a man unable to find work, even an old woman infected and angry hurling large firefighters down flights of stairs. None of us really pay attention do we?FatalPiercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02650173927932329844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-82792088252846409982008-06-13T13:20:00.000-04:002008-06-13T13:20:00.000-04:00Holy cow!
