Ah, isn't that Miike's approach to violence in a nutshell?!?
From the Oxford Thesaurus:
gratuitous ?adjective 1. gratuitous violence UNJUSTIFIED, uncalled
for, unwarranted, unprovoked, undue; indefensible, unjustifiable;
needless, unnecessary, inessential, unmerited, groundless, senseless,
wanton, indiscriminate; excessive, immoderate, inordinate,
inappropriate.
If his violence wasn't all these things and more more more more more,
no one would care about his films. Good luck. Public broadcast would
mean the violence reached perfection!
Markus---always ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence
PS: Finally, saw DOA 2 and Final this week. If the violence weren't so
gratuitous I never would have made it through either of them.
