Film guide Yoshiki Takahashi reviews the remake of the movie 'RYUJI 竜二'
Published
Yoshiki Takahashi, known as a Japanese film guide, has published a review of the film 'RYUJI 竜二'. The review was featured on Shūprey NEWS.
'RYUJI 竜二' is a remake of the 1983 film '竜二'. In other words, 43 years separate the original version from this new work. Takahashi points out that society has changed significantly during that time. In particular, it is said that public views on works about yakuza, and ideas about how such subjects should be portrayed, differ between then and now.
The review also addresses the difficulty of recreating an older work for the present day. Even with the same story, the impression audiences receive can change as the times change. How this remake handles those differences between eras is considered one of its highlights.
For the full details of the film and an overall evaluation, you can check the article published on Shūprey NEWS. Whether you have seen the 1983 version or are encountering the work for the first time, comparing it with the original may reveal new discoveries.
