Re: \"Pistol Opera\" by Seijun Suzuki DVD Movie Review
Allen,
I have the Branded To Kill movie which I think is excellent, but does really have more of a plot. Pistol Opera appears to almost have a plot. It's filled with lots of humor. For example, when No.1 Hundred Eyes assassinates No.2 Useless Man. Useless Man dies with a smile on his face. That's Hundred Eyes MO. All his victims die with a smile. There are some similarities between Pistol Opera and Branded To Kill, but Branded appears to start with a plot until the hero of the film accidently kills a bystander. Then he is marked for assasination and the film takes on the humor that can be found in Pistol Opera. But, I believe Pistol Opera is something totally different.
Good Luck
Mark
