Takeshi Kitano insisted on speaking Japanese while everyone else spoke English; Aramaki's authority comes from never code-switching.

They had a chance to make this movie great, but they messed this so badly.

This film gets lots of hate, but I like it. It has introduced a lot of people to the original Manga and others
@PUBHEAD1
☑cyberpunk feel ☑stunning visuals ☑Kawai's cult music ☑recreated cult scenes ☑Scarlett Johansson, 'Beat' Takeshi Kitano, The film has received the blessings of Mamoru Oshii, Kenji Jamiyama, and Kenji Kawaii. Don't trust pseudo critics, give it a chance! Think positive and just wait to see how it all turns out. ^^
