Give me information about Kitano Takeshi.

Kitano Takeshi (1947) was born in Tokyo, and his stage name is Jiwu. He was a famous Japanese crosstalk performer in 1980s. From 1983, he first appeared as a movie actor in the movie Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence! 1989, he directed the first film The Cruel Man, and then directed 3-4× 10 month (1990) and that summer, the quietest teaching (199/kloc- (1995), bad boy's sky (1996) and fireworks (1997), and Mujiro's summer (1998). He is one of the representatives of Japanese film directors in the 1990s.

Graduated from Meiji University Engineering Department, worked as a taxi driver and a striptease comedian. 1973 The crosstalk group Erpai?, which was formed with Jin, was active in TV and radio, and became popular with spicy and black humor, becoming the soul of Japanese crosstalk craze in 1980s. 198 1 began to participate in the performances of movies and TV series, including "Prisoner" directed by Zhudao.

1989, he succeeded Kinji Fukasaku, a famous action film director, and directed his first film, Macho Man, which was a blockbuster. His subsequent works further established his position as a representative of Japanese directors in the 1990s. Kitano Takeshi's fireworks won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival last year, making Japanese films once again the focus of the international film industry.

Note: Kitano Takeshi is 167cm tall and weighs 64kg. He had an accident while driving a motorcycle on 1995, resulting in paralysis of one side of his face.

Perhaps no Japanese film can be made according to its own ideas like Kitano Takeshi's films, and it feels completely free and unrestrained. Kitano Takeshi's films have nothing to do with the old Japanese film industry's insistence on traditional drama. Similarly, the traditional basic directing skills, photography methods and editing methods adhered to by the old Japanese film industry have nothing to do with Kitano Takeshi's films.

At the same time, the attempts of "innovative filmmakers trying to make new films" in the old Japanese film industry to completely deny and destroy those traditional ways have nothing to do with Kitano Takeshi films. In Kitano Takeshi's films, there is no affectation or rigid posture to distinguish right from wrong.

In the history of nearly a hundred years, the old Japanese film industry has been making movies centered on the studios of big film companies. Kitano Takeshi may not know or care about this orthodox film production system handed down from generation to generation. He had nothing to do with that wordiness from the beginning. Therefore, he will not completely deny it, and there is no need to destroy what he doesn't know.

Of course, he has seen many movies so far. There are both foreign films and Japanese films. Maybe he used to freely identify what he thought was "really interesting" and what he thought was "poorly filmed" through his own feelings, and accumulated and stored it in his own sensibility. In fact, this is exactly the same as going through other life experiences, work, games and pranks.

Soon, as a person, he became a comedian, and he was welcomed by others as a cross talk partner. He also appeared in funny programs, short plays and question-and-answer activities on TV and radio, participated in the filming of movies and TV plays as an actor, and even served as a model for commercial advertisements. He also became a topic of discussion because of personal events. He writes essays, novels and paintings. On this extension, he played Peter Wu under the stage name of 1989, and directed the film Violent Police under his real name.

This is a criminal police film directed by other directors and starring Peter Wu, which is adapted from a playwright's script. However, the director backed out, and in this way, Kitano Takeshi became the director. Just like being a comedian, talking about cross talk, performing in TV, radio, movies and advertisements, writing essays and novels, and painting, Kitano Takeshi is completely faithful to his sensibility when directing movies.

However, it is precisely because this should be a work shot by a professional director in the old Japanese film industry, a script written by a professional playwright, and a film collectively supported by members of the old Japanese film industry, it is not difficult to imagine that he has to follow his own feelings and freely make a film that suits him, and there is considerable resistance. As a director's debut, there must be some shortcomings. As a result, a violent criminal police film that seems to be trying to destroy the production mode of the Japanese film industry has been completed. Even so, "new Japanese movies appear!" The voice is still quite high.

March -4x 65438+ 10, 1990, starring Peter Wu, a screenwriter and director himself. This work is mixed with violent groups in the story of a young man on the baseball team and his partner. Even so, in Kitano Takeshi's films, the framework of the story is not very important. The reuse of improvisation photography. The impact brought by the description of sudden violence, the interest of an unbalanced effect caused by the co-starring of Kitano Takeshi team members and professional actors, and the incredible role distribution ... all these are intertwined to create a wonderful work with a sense of freedom, a wonderful "unbalanced work" that shines brilliantly and destroys the theory of work balance.

199 1 year's film "that summer, the quietest sea" was a work planned, written, directed and edited by Kitano Takeshi, in which he didn't play a role. This film tells the story of a young deaf surfer and his deaf girlfriend who spent a summer at the seaside. So there is almost no dialogue in the film, and only images are used to promote it. Through impromptu photography, a free pastoral world is created, as well as sudden wonderful image stunts and unnatural tragic endings. After reading this work, people think that the origin of Kitano Takeshi's films may be the film My Uncle written, directed and starred by Frenchman jacques tati.

The film 1993 Sonata is a work written, directed and directed by a screenwriter, starring Peter Wu. Kitano Takeshi put his sensibility first and made movies by improvisation. From this film, he suddenly had a smooth and even sense of body. This film tells the story of a violent group cadre and his minions involved in a confrontation after going to Okinawa. However, this film is also a wonderful summary, which can be called a video recording of Peter Wu and his team partners enjoying their summer vacation on the island of Okinawa. The last scene exudes chaotic pessimism.

1995 movie "What is everybody doing? Get Anything is another work written, directed and edited by a screenwriter and performed under the stage name of Wu. Kitano Takeshi's previous works were mainly shot on location, but this film somehow focused on shooting scenes in the studio. This is an experimental, short-story and dirty action comedy film. So the image world is artificially closed inward. Unfortunately, it became his worst film.

1996 the movie "bad boy's sky" is a work written, directed and performed by Kitano Takeshi, and it is also his second work that did not appear. This film describes the incredible truancy life of two idle students in a second-rate high school. The horror film shown in the film is Kitano Takeshi's own youth. The original script gives people the impression that this film is an inspirational film that describes young people embarking on a new life. However, the result of shooting freely through impromptu photography is surprising, and it has become a work of "Although you are still young, you are an older youth". Here, rambling freedom and chaotic pessimism coexist in one work.

From 65438 to 0997, HANA-BI, the seventh work that won the Golden Lion Award at Venice International Film Festival, is coming to us. This is a film which is edited, directed and edited by Daniel Wu. After many explorations; Kitano Takeshi's films have reached maturity. Improvisation photography, an unprecedented interest in film production, is still free and unrestrained, but naturally forms the world of works.

Peter Wu and the hero and heroine he plays are always taciturn and have few lines. The description of violence is sudden and extremely concise. The cast with Kitano Takeshi team members as the main body also created a real sense of unity. Everyone plays his part. Sporadic gimmicks do not float in the form, but lead to meaningful humor. The unshaped roughness and the freedom of feeling maintain a wonderful balance, which constitutes a relaxed and happy new image world.

In particular, those paintings painted by Kitano Takeshi himself appear in the picture, and have achieved good image effects. The criminal police played by Ren Osuji had to sit in a wheelchair after being shot and injured. His wife left him, and he was very lonely. Persuaded by the protagonist, he began to learn to draw. This setting is outstanding. Through the form of his painting, Kitano Takeshi spliced the beautiful and bright pictures of flowers into the film with the development of the drama. It supports the image world of the whole work and is really effective.

At first, people thought that Peter Wu and Ren Osuji were the backbone cadres of violent groups and their subordinates, but when people realized that they were actually senior policemen and their subordinates, the film produced a strong sense of humor. Soon, people realized that all this was a scene in memory, knowing that the hero played by Peter Wu was now unemployed because of money. Kayoko Kishimoto's wife seems to have an incurable disease-leukemia.

Peter Wu's body injured by a motorcycle accident in real life has a somewhat portable image and his sense of life as a middle-aged unemployed policeman, which is skillfully combined into the film. The style of the film is that the promotion of real shots and the handling of extremely complicated memories are suddenly and naturally inserted into the whole process of the work, creating a sense of unity. Kitano Takeshi's films have really reached a new level. '

The gimmicks played by Tetsu Watanabe as the boss of a scrap iron factory and his daughter with strange red hair are not superficial, but have produced ridiculous humor, which also shows the maturity of Kitano Takeshi's films. In the ending drama that came soon, that strong pessimism was wrapped in a profound hymn of human nature; Anyway, this is good.

This is a Japanese film with a brand-new image, which gives the impression that such a Japanese film is actually very good. Kitano Takeshi's films can be well understood by foreigners, perhaps because he can create freely according to his pure sensibility, or because it is more universal than anything else in the world. This sense of image has international power, and everyone can understand it intuitively. It's not movies from other countries, but movies from Asian countries and Japan. It's a movie made by the Japanese, and it's a movie with unique charm.

But Kitano Takeshi doesn't like that his evaluation, performance and popularity are fixed, so he is constantly changing. At the Venice Film Festival in 1997, Kitano Takeshi said that "the next work will be similar to the story of finding a mother in three thousand miles, without violence." Since 1989' s debut "The Cruel Man", Kitano Takeshi's performance has destroyed the extreme simplification of the current film grammar, lines and explanations, and created his new charm "cutting aesthetics". Just like the protagonist's mentality of "violent repetition", these images based on blues make Kitano Blues famous all over the world. Even if this style has been established, he can make Jiro Ju Chi, a warm work full of humor and emotion, according to the promise of 1997 Venice Film Festival, which is different from the previous style.

Kikujiro's Summer calls for "return to gentleness". In "Summer of Kijiro", the greatest charm of Kitano Takeshi's acting "sudden violence" is excluded. The story unfolds like "Looking for Mother in Three Thousand Miles". Everyone knows the standard plot of the ending and process, so Kitano Takeshi uses it to bind himself. In other words, the beginning of this project is that up to now, all the elements I openly hate have been definitely absorbed. For the silence and violence in the past, this talkative and funny will be a wonderful stimulating factor, which will make you and I both happy and moved.

For these fresh changes, Kitano team staff, photographer Takashima Keming and illusionist Hitoshi Takaya will regenerate the Kitano blues recognized by the world in Fireworks into New Green in Summer, and music producer Joe Hisaishi will also produce "high transparency" spiritual music that will touch you and me, raising the warm artistic conception of this film to the highest point.

Kitano Takeshi's latest work "Brothers" is a film that combines editing and directing, and it will be the biggest film in his film career. The film was co-produced by Kitano Office and Jeremy Thomas of Recorded Picture Company (RPC), and the production cost was100000 USD. Shooting locations are Tokyo, Japan and Los Angeles, USA. June 1999, 1 1 started in Tokyo, Japan, and June 2000 1 moved to Los Angeles, USA. It is planned to close the mirror in mid-February, and it is expected to be released in Japan in late 2000 1 early 2000.

The original idea of this film was formed in 1995 "What is everyone doing? After the motorcycle accident, a rough prototype has been formed. After Huahuo 1997 won the Golden Lion Award in Venice, Kitano Takeshi and Jeremy Thomas, chairman of British RPC Company, got a preliminary understanding of co-production of this film. After that, the two sides had a serious and meaningful communication on related issues. After the summer of Jiro Qing was completed, the preparatory work began in an orderly way. 1998 press conference of "Summer of Kikujiro" at Cannes Film Festival, France. Kitano Takeshi announced the shooting plan of Brothers to reporters.
