Ring

Hideo Nakata's Ring is a horror movie about a cursed video tape that can kill you after watching it. Our protagonist, Reiko Asakawa, is the aunt of one of the victims of the curse. She also happens to be an investigative journalist so after her niece's death she embarks on a mission to uncover what is really happening. This mission starts with her going to the cabin where her niece and all friends who also died at the same time. Here, she finds the video tape and naturally, she watches it. The tape had grainy scenes that included shots of a woman looking at a mirror, a man pointing by the sea, and of a well. Then Asakawa sees a ghost and gets a phone call with audio similar to the screeching on the tape. This leads to her asking her ex-husband  for help. Funny enough, her child seemed to be walking somewhere and bumps into her ex-husband on the way (his father) and they just walk past each other. I'm assuming that this implies that he must have left his life early enough in his life to not remember him. It was also surprising that he  tagged along on this mission instead of minding his own business given the context, but something has to move the plot forward I guess. With his help, they uncover a cryptic message which leads them to Oshima. Before they leave, Asakawa wakes up that night and sees her son watching the cursed tape. Apparently because Tomoko told him to. When they get to Oshima they learn about the girl on the tape and how she threw herself into a volcano. Turns out that her daughter, Sadako, could kill people using psychic power, and did so to a journalist when her mother was presenting her powers. Our protagonists eventually learn that the father pushed Sadako down the well and so they go and try to find her corpse. After doing so, they think that this must have broken the curse, because she lived past the 7 day deadline. Thing is, that didn't break the curse because her ex-husband died the next day. Here is when she learns that the way to release the curse is by copying the tape and showing it to someone else, because that is what she did to her ex-husband. The movie ends with the implication that she will save her son by making him pass. The movie was enjoyable, even with some of the cheesy horror elements like the tripping over when running away or the almost stupid curiosity towards danger. 

Ringu (1998) Review

Following along with the subject of Japanese Horror Films of the 1990’s and 2000’s, the film I will be focusing on in this assignment is Ringu (1998) by Hideo Nakata. This production fits the criteria perfectly of what a J-Horror film consisted of during its boom in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. A physiological aspect of a vengeful spirit haunting on characters throughout the entirety of the film. That spirit in this film is the spirit of Sadako. 

The film begins with two people talking about a legend of watching a tape that will curse you to die a week later following a phone call. One of the characters, Tomoko, says she had watched a weird video a week prior and had received a phone call following. When Masami, the person with Tomoko, leaves and comes back to see Tomoko killed. Quickly it is found out by Tomoko’s aunt, Reiko, that the other girls that had watched the film with Tomoko had also died at the same exact time. Wanting to discover more, Reiko finds the tape and watches it herself then gets the strange phone call. Reiko then goes to her ex-husband, Ryuji, for help, and he too watches the tape, with their child Yoichi getting a glimpse of it as well. The ex-couple look deeper into the film and realize they have to go to Oshima to try and break the curse. Upon their mission, they find out information about Sadako, the daughter of Shizuko who killed herself following a demonstration of her physic, sixth sense, ability. After traveling to a well, Reiko and Ryuji learn that Sadako was pushed into it and trapped. She died physically, however, remained alive through this curse of the tape of her being tortured. Back home shortly after, we find out how the curse really works as Ryuji is killed as the spirit spills out from the TV and kills him, but nothing has happened to Reiko. The way to stop the curse is copying the tap and showing it to someone else. The film concludes with Reiko remembering her young child had seen the film right before they left for Oshima and rushes to save Yoichi.

The scenes showing the well where Sadako was tortured and eventually murdered perfectly depict how well Ringu was shot and directed by Hideo Nakata. The images shown of the well originally are extremely eerie and unsettling before the audience even discovers the significance of it. Nakata uses a long shot to build the unsettlement as the camera is fixated on the well alone in a big field. Then later in the film, that same well is shown once again, except this time Sadako comes out of it. Not only is this scene scary, it is genius as well. The shot earlier in the film that stayed on the well for a long amount of time had Sadako in it the whole time and could have popped out at any moment. The scene of Sadako creeping out towards the end is familiar to the audience because Nakata made sure everyone would remember the well.

Tomisaburo Wakayama in The Young Rebels (Keisuke Kinoshita, 1980) Cast: Go Kato, Tomisaburo Wakayama, Junko Mihara, Tatsuya Okamoto, Tomoko Saito. Screenplay: Keisuke Kinoshita. Cinematography: Masao Kosugi. The title of Keisuke Kinoshita's polemical pseudo-documentary, The Young Rebels, sounds like that of a Hollywood film from the 1950s, the era of naive, sensational, and didactic dramas about "juvenile delinquency." Which is exactly what The Young Rebels turns out to be: an exploitation film about why kids go wrong. The answer is a simple one: their parents. The kids, Kinoshita is saying, are not all right: They ride around on motorcycles, they cut school, they shoplift, and they have sex. This was not exactly news in 1980: Nagisa Oshima, for example, was onto these facts in 1960, when he made Cruel Story of Youth, and he blamed it on dysfunctional parenting in 1969's Boy. But Oshima's films are about people more than they are about problems. Kinoshita has lost sight of the people in his obsession with the problem, and the result is a scattershot film designed to ferret out examples of parental irresponsibility both high -- affluent parents who are so obsessed with climbing the corporate or social ladders that they either ignore their children or spoil them -- and low -- parents who are so mired in poverty and its attendant ills like alcoholism and crime that they abuse their children. The narrative framework of the film is as simplistic as its point of view: a journalist goes in search of answers and interviews children and parents. Kinoshita is enough of an artist that he knows how to tell the several stories uncovered by the journalist, which gives The Young Rebels enough dramatic substance to keep the polemic at bay during the storytelling, but the piling on of miseries turns into overkill. Eventually, the journalist visits a kind of reform school in Hokkaido, the north of Japan, where wayward boys are nurtured back into society -- but there's even some recidivism there. At the end, the point seems to be that every kid needs a loving mother and father -- the Japanese title translates as a cry for help: "Father! Mother!" It has been pointed out that people raised children for millennia until, sometime in the mid-20th century, they became self-conscious about it and turned it into a problem. Kinoshita's humorless and even hopeless polemic does little to solve the problem, especially when the film often seems bogged down in fogeyism: A scene of joyriding motorcycle gangs, for example, is treated as a vision from hell.
