I actually have a thing for foreign films... They're really good if you watch them, and honestly, I enjoy them a lot more than mainstream American movies. Occasionally the concepts of these movies are difficult to understand because of cultural understanding, but overall, with some focus and understanding I feel like
I come off with something more substantial. Take for instance, this Japanese cult classic "Suicide Circle". I love this movie... Possibly not for the faint of heart, but overall, good movie. It takes a couple watches to get it all the way through but if you're willing to try it I recommend this movie. Think of it as a commentary on the high suicide rates in Japan and then put a bunch of crazy kids in it. I was like... literally scared of kids for a week after this movie. Moving along.
Our two junkyard quotes come from the same scene in this movie, actually. There is this scene where a man named Genesis randomly breaks out in song and dance as his women are "entertained" around him. It is so random. Think like... a horror movie of a Japanese Beatle busting out his guitar in a bowling alley. Sheer brilliant. Actually, this is giving me ideas for freewrite... moving alone.
Anyway, the quotes from the song "Because the Dead."
My favorite is, "I want to die as beautifully as Joan of Arc inside a Bresson film."
then there is "A unfamiliar yellow dog keeps grinning as it tears us from the ones we love."
I've actually yet to figure out what the yellow dog is? So if anyone has some guesses, I'd like feedback on it.
