but they might be better off

as comedians.

They're not talented enough.

Hello, everybody.

- The subject today--

- Is dreams.

- What's yours?

- A comedian.

That's old-fashioned.

- What about you?

- Me?

I-- Let's start again.

Hello, everybody.

- The subject today--

- Is dreams.

- What's yours?

- To be a comedian.

A comedian?

That's old-fashioned.

- What about you?

- A gag man.

I wanted to be a model

when I was a kid.

A fashion model?

- A plastic model.

- You're nuts.

But in high school, I decided

I wanted to be a baseball player.

Not an uncommon dream.

They all said I couldn't be

a professional. I didn't understand why.

You practiced every day,

I suppose.

Yes, Ping-Pong.

Laugh, you bastards.

You just didn't get it.

Go to Osaka and study.

Yes, sir.

This is an adult movies cinema.

You're still at school.

No, we're not.

You're wearing the school uniform.

Let's go.

- Mr. Takagi.

- Yes, sir?

How about a movie?

Good idea, Section Chief.

Two adults.

You boys were here a minute ago.

You're under age!

We're wearing suits.

It's school uniform!

My brother sent me

to get advanced tickets.

"Advanced tickets"?

We don't have such things.

If I return empty-handed,

my brother'll be mad at me.

How many tickets do you need?

Two.

You can have complimentary tickets.

Thank you very much.

Well, Mr. Takagi, shall we go?

Yes, sir.

How can this look like a suit?

It was just an idea.

You and your ideas!

I even drew a moustache.

It was dumb.

Excuse me.

Isn't Sachiko here today?

She went out,

and this is the busiest hour.

What do you want?

Want to be ripped off again?

- Are they the guys?

- Yes.

You bastard.

Let's go.

Come on. Get it out.

You must have something.

Jump!

You must have something.

Hurry up.

What are these?

Very rare movie tickets.

Who wants your damn movie tickets?

What's this?

It's a doll.

It's very precious to me.

Precious, huh?

Who cares about this lousy doll?

Here you are.

Thank you.

Sachiko.

Would you like to go

to the movies with me?

Nothing. Forget it.

I'm sorry.

People are getting mugged

by delinquents in back alleys.

Lots of delinquents around recently.

Have you ever been involved

in such a thing?

I took part several times.

- You mugged people?

- No, I got mugged!

You should have fought back.

- That's not very cool, is it?

- No, it isn't.

I know how to cope with it.

It's not cool,

but it's the only way.

Shinji!

Masaru!

He must be a boxer.

I'll get even with him.

Go ahead.

President.

He wants to join too.

Wait for me upstairs.

Young man.

If you want to join the gym,

fill out this form.

This is what he filled out.

Takeshi Kitano

Takeshi Kitano (北野 武, Kitano Takeshi, born 18 January 1947) is a Japanese comedian, television personality, director, actor, author, and screenwriter. While he is known primarily as a comedian and TV host in his native Japan, abroad he is known almost entirely for his filmwork. With the exception of his works as a film director, he is known almost exclusively by the stage name Beat Takeshi (ビートたけし, Bīto Takeshi). Kitano rose to prominence in the 1970s as one half of the comedy duo Two Beat, before going solo and becoming one of the three biggest comedians in the country. After several small acting roles, he made his directorial debut with 1989's Violent Cop and garnered international acclaim for Sonatine (1993). But he was not accepted as a director in Japan until Hana-bi won the Golden Lion in 1997. In October 2017, Kitano's completed his Outrage crime trilogy with the release of Outrage Coda.He has received critical acclaim for his idiosyncratic cinematic work, winning numerous awards with Japanese film critic Nagaharu Yodogawa having once dubbed him "the true successor" to influential filmmaker Akira Kurosawa. Many of Kitano's films are dramas about yakuza gangsters or the police. Described by critics as using an acting style that is highly deadpan or a camera style that approaches near-stasis, Kitano often uses long takes where little appears to be happening, or editing that cuts immediately to the aftermath of an event. Many of his films express a bleak worldview, but are also filled with humor and affection for their characters. more…
