Recently checked off of my long list of films to watch is "Saibogujiman kwenchana" or "I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK", a Korean film which a friend told me I must see some time ago. The film follows a young Korean girl who would fit in just fine if it weren't for her stolid belief that she is a fit-for-combat cyborg. This certainty sets the stage for the several quirks of the character to shine through which include incessant chatter with machinery and refusing to consume human food (batteries taste delicious however). The majority of the film is set in a mental institution where the lead role finds her match in a man capable of extracting people's souls from their bodies (or so he thinks). I've posted the first part, and I'm assuming that if you're all as internet savvy as I believe you to be, you'll easily be able to find the rest.
From the 1968 film Barbarella starring the dreamy Jane Fonda (pre-psycho bitch days). Definitely up there as one of my favorite 60's trash films and definitely an oldie but a goldie!
I suggest you listen while watching the video (on mute) for maximum viewing pleasure. Legendary stances meet legendary breaks. Both oldies but goldies. Photek - Ni Ten Ichi Ryu [Mediafire] Kenji Misumi - Lone Wolf & Cub [IMDb]
Drawing inspiration from such authors as EA Poe and Jules Verne The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello brings to life the feel of adventure through silhouette animation. A style which is often too few and far between...the film leaves just enough up to the imagination. Find adventure in anything.
As I'm trying to make it more of a priority to post art-related happenings here on YoothBrigade, I bring to you MUTO. You may or may not have seen it. This may be one of the most innovative pieces of film to date. Words can't do it justice. Just watch.
