Shinya Tsukamoto

Over there.

I think what, uh, Shinya Tsukamoto does really well is keeping things small and then extrapolating through that limited nature a lot visually, which is what he does here using only three characters.

Keeping it confined to around 85 minutes is another strength as well, is, okay, we're not gonna be here for more than an hour.

We're gonna make the most of the hour.

That's all right.

Oh.

I, you know, I think, I think this is actually my favorite, uh, Shinya Tsukamoto film now after having watched it.

This was firing from all cylinders.

Traumatized by Vietnam War, veterans sought solace in Japan.

A new movie based on the horrors and trauma experienced by Vietnam War veteran Alan Nelson was directed by Japanese filmmaker Shinya Tsukamoto.

But that is not the former U.S. Marine's only connection to Japan.

Nelson wrote about his experiences in the Vietnam War and revealed how he was left traumatized in his memoir titled, Mr. Nelson, Did You Kill People? The film of the same name follows Nelson as he confronts his past killings.

You know, and I any opportunity to talk those, which is a lot of fun.

And I also got into that Tsukamoto box set finally.

And I watched this movie called Tokyo Fist, which is the best way I could describe it is a Tsukamoto, you know, think, think, think.

What's what's the movie? The first one.

It's Tetsuo, Tetsuo Iron Man.

It's a bit noir-y.

It's kind of like Tsukamoto going from the Tetsuo films to Bullet Ballet.

They're kind of similar, but Bullet Ballet is a lot more hyper-focused on the character and the emotion.

Or

This is an old favorite that gets better and better and better.

I'm talking, of course, about Heruko the Goblin from our pal Shinya Tsukamoto of the Tetsuo the Iron Man fame.

Now, Heruko the Goblin takes place in the summer at a high school that's shut down for the summer.

But there's some students milling about and the groundskeepers milling about.
