Brother, My Cup is Empty

I went to see Brother tonight. It is a rare film achieves so much in story, execution and cinematography. The film has the most methodical pacing I have seen in a picture with a driving story, intricate characters and Takeshi Kitano’s trademark attention to detail.

Beat Tekashi not only directs like a god, but stars in this flicker as one of the most intense characters I have seen in a picture for a long time.

I am so tweaked right now by this flicker. It *moved* me. I am so amazed. This film has shot to very near the top of my best film list and will forever remain a classic in my eyes.

Beat is an achievement in the art of man.

I fully plan on seeing this picture a few more times in theater – who’s with me?

“It’s like the philosophy of Japanese cuisine, If you fumble with the raw materials too much, the smell of your hands gets into the food and makes it stale. Many things in life are like that. It’s often best to shoot simply and get to the point right away.” -Beat Tekashi
