So This is just a short post but I thought it was an important one.I've always been disgusted and fascinated by The Italian Cannibal Film cycle for it's graphic realism and it's over the top style that should be condemned, but also well known to the public so this kind of film making trend of putting everyone in danger(man and animals) without any guilds involved doesn't happen at all.I really don't think it helps the film at all like the Italians seems to believe,but then what do I know? I learned of The director Mou Tun Fei or T.K. Mou through the most stomach churning opus "Men Behind The Sun 731", a historical document that seems to try and actually recreate the war crime events in a human experiment lab with actual animal killings( a cat and some rats) and actual autopsy footage. To me it just goes to show that Japanese filmamakers can be just as repulsive and stupid as some of the Italian directors(Jacopetti/Prosperi Umberto Lenzi and Deodato and too a certain extent Pasolini,all people who I hate and also sort of admire).I write this as a fan of exploitation films that don't abuse or traumatize the actors and use actual film making skills as opposed to exploit everything for a cheap buck much like the porn industry.I sort of think that people should know more about Japanese filmmakers like Mou (who is sort of like an asian Deodato), mostly because not all Italians are responsible for all the racist exploitation like everyone thinks.
