Sukiyaki Western Django

Review

There is two clans, reds and whites, who come to small town hoping to find a treasure. Both of the clans are violent so the town people have not good time with them in the town. New man arrives to the town and he is not sure for which side he should go since neither one is good side and there will be fights and killing on a search for the treasure.

Story of this movie was not very good, but it was good enough. Still the big picture of the meaning of the story was quite lacking, or at least I could not get much out of the main story itself.

Even the story was not something I liked much, the movie itself was something I liked. I especially loved how the visual style was just great on many scenes. Slow motions and scenes with good pacing, good composition and especially beautiful color usage from time to time was the strongest point of this movie. It was just pleasure to watch. There is no anything bad to say about the audio either, it was working as well as you could except.

Biggest annoyance for me was the language. Characters had asian names, but still the language they were talking was english. Somehow I just find it annoying and I would rather seen a movie with these characters if they would have spoken chinese or japan.

Even with that, this movie was something I liked, thanks to visually pleasing style and I see no reason why I wouldn't be watching this another time as well in future.
