Transgender Version Of Audition

[Dino Velvet]

Anybody a fan of the Japanese film? Be great to have a TS version where the roles were reversed; a TS looking for a man. Keep the same pacing as well. Could be nuttier than the Miike film.

I'm a big fan of the original Japanese film and I love the uncompromising way that Japanese film-makers deal with horror. But there's never been an American remake of a Japanese original which comes within light years of the unsettling and unnerving effect. Leave it alone.

I agree about us remaking theirs and them doing ours. I like the idea but it doesn't have to be a complete remake. Switching the characters around and differentiating their personal issues would be a good start. It wouldn't be what The Ring was to Ringu.

Robert, name some Japanese Horror that you like. Are you a Takashi Miike fan as well? South Korea has put out some good Horror too.

South Korea has some of the most well-written, well-acted, and boring movies I've ever seen. Oh, and for me, The Ring was just about as good as Ringu. Come at me, bro lol

I wouldn't mind seeing a TS version of Ichi the Killer.

that movie is on netflix right now, but I am not searching for men so it would definitely be acting.

I've seen a good number of those. I never said they weren't good, I just hate the pacing on them. It's like the old Italian movies, just because you can have a 4 minute scene were people stare at each other, doesn't mean you need 7 in one movie. It's all personal preference though I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, except for The Host....The Host is my shit lol

Absolutely. It's all about personal taste. Glad you like The Host. Not Horror, but JSA is also very good and directed by Park Chan-wook(Oldboy, Sympathy For Mr Vengeance, Lady Vengeance).

Still Asia, here's a good effort from Pakistan. No song and dance numbers like in India either.

As with Spanish horror, I'm more into atmosphere than schlock and gore. I reckon that The Orphanage is the best ghost story/horror of the last decade.

I am not sure it could be done, OR, it would be the same film: the point about Miike's film is that there is an inherent value in family love that cannot be destroyed, even when one of the key components (in this case the mother/wife) dies. By attempting to replace one wife with another wife, rather than one love with another love, Miike seems to be suggesting it is an invitation to chaos/destruction. Most of his films, when you peel away the slashed flesh and blood spattered walls, are focused on conservative issues: the Yakuza/Gangster films are about a cohesive unit falling apart, often due to betrayal or greed; whereas the family films are about families healing old wounds and finding a new way of living together.

It woudn't matter if the film was about a man whose transgendered wife was killed and he then tried to replace her with another who killed him; or where the new 'wife' was transgendered: the key point would be that a happy family cannot be re-built with a new wife. It will always be different, in Miike's case, destructive. Transgendered people in Miike's films are not, incidentally, there for any shock value but merge in and out of the action as characters in their own right, albeit minor ones.

My friends actually refused to watch The Orphanage because "reading subtitles is too hard." They missed out on a great movie because reading upsets them...... (╮°-°)╮┳━┳ ( ╯°-°)╯ ┻━┻
