Goodbye Cruel World with homage to Macbeth :-)
Saito Takumi gone all psycho ... but so smoking hot. Ok, so aside from how hot he is, "Goodbye Cruel World" is an apt name for this movie. Basically it revolves around money ... the loosing of it, the getting of it, the not having it and the wanting of it. Blood and death reign everywhere and it is all heavily laced with tragedy and futility, but also with a kind of tragic sense of humour. The OST was awesome ... I thought it matched well with the themes. The actors did an awesome job too.
Who was left standing with that last shot fired ... 🤔 no idea ...and in a way, for me it didn't really matter because they all had a gut full ... no wonder they laughed at the end of it all. I laughed too because, despite what they wanted, despite what they said and did, life was just so f'n futile and death came for them anyway. It was rather Shakespearian ... Macbeth said before he shuffled off his mortal coil ...
"Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing."
I also had a chuckle at the irony of the movie title "Goodbye Cruel World" and that it was produced in "Happinet Phantom Studios" 🤣🤣 🤣
