I normally don't comment on IMDb but the above comment on this film made me want to write my own opinion on the film.
First of all I'm a big fan of Takashi Mîke's work, so my opinion maybe a little biased.
Basically the guy who wrote the above review hasn't got a clue outside his realm of Christian/ western ideology. The film is heavy in Buddhist philosophy and existentialist theory, Izo is basically an anger spirit that refuses to die and his anger is transcends space and time, due to his fury anger at being killed, i think?!
wow a bit deep i know, G-ball3's probably used to watching "safe" Hollywood blockbuster which require little thought by the viewer to understand what is going on and plots are predictable.
So obviously he was way out of his comfort zone when he watched this film! I didn't understand every aspect of this film but if you want to watch something that will challenge you and cause you to think, watch its v.good!
