Anyone who has played by a recognized Japanese video game designer, Hideo Kodzima, can say he is a big fan of the films. His games, such as the series "Metal Equipment" and "Deadly Fiber", are well known for being deeply kinematic with wildly complex plots, and he got some pretty famous film creators to take the roles in them. In fact, the "death of death" is characterized not only by actors Norman Reids, Mads Mikkelsen, Margaret Quals and Lea Seidux, but also includes vocal and performances to attract movement by directors Nicholas Viking Refn and Guillermo Del Toro. Now, with Kodzima and A24 now in the process of turning "death death" into a real movieIt seems to be cautiously considering the favorite films of the impressive creative.

Recently, Kodzima visited the closet for criteria to discuss some of his favorite films and was asked about his favorite four films from GqAnd while there is a little overlap, his best four for GQ are all absolute grass. (The Criteria They are also pretty great, as he essentially turns it into a lesson in the Japanese cinema in the 1950s and 1960s!) It makes sense that Kodzima would have excellent taste in the films based on Chinese influences in his games and his killer taste with the actors, but it is still neat to learn exactly which films.

Asked by GQ to name his four four films, Kodzima revealed that he had not yet had a letter, but was now interested, especially when he learned to direct the legend Martin Scorsese has an account. "If Scorsese does that, I can't criticize Scorsese. He's the second God. The first is George Miller," Kodzima said. He continued to explain that he actually keeps a list of moving films on his phone similar to what makes Letterboxd, with different emotions about the movies he watched with his sons or His infamous "no comment" negative non-views That fans go wild on social media.

While he acknowledged that his best four changes "all the time", which is wildly relative, he told GQ that at the time of the interview they were "2001 at Stanley Kubrick": "Space Odyssey", "Akira Kurosawa" high and low "," Miller "," Crazy Max "," Akira ". You can really see the impact of "2001" on Kodzima's visuals, especially in the "death fiber" and has definitely elements of "Crazy Max" in that post-apocalyptic story. Each of the films is among the most famous of their directors, except for "tall and low", who are often ignored in favor of Kurosawa's opera films, such as "Yodzimbo", "Seven Samurai" and "Ran". (He did Our list of Kurosawa's top 11 filmsStill!)

"High and Low" is a little different from Kurosava's films, as it is a complicated kidnapping crime film that went wrong. It is starring Kurosava's co -worker Toshir Mifun as a wealthy businessman who believes his son was kidnapped for ransom, just to find that his driver's son was kidnapped instead. The kidnapper still intends to kill the child if the businessman does not pay, leading to a complex moral quandal. "High and Low" is a tense police procedure with characters who are neither purely good nor evil, rather than showing them in shades of gray, which tend to be closer to reality. The literal shades of gray in the film are broken by a footage that includes pink smoke, which was a pretty magnificent feat in 1963. Indeed, "high and low" has some really spectacular cinematography in general.

In the closet for criteria, Kodzima was excited to see that "tall and low" was in the collection, and he was even more excited that he could take a copy at home, referring to how his favorite movie Kurosawa. You can see some of the influence of "high and low" in Kodzima's work, as in terms of composition and writing, as Kodzima's characters are usually all sorts of morally compromised. So while his favorite movies can change all the time, these four are serious grass.
