Black Jack: The Movie | KYOTO VIDEO

- Опубліковано 16 гру 2018
- Black Jack: The Movie is an underrated 90s gem brought to life with the power of two Osamus. One to create it. The other to adapt it. Resulting in a stylish and jazzy medical drama about why transhumanism cannot be put in the hands of heartless corporations.

Osamu Dezaki’s take on Black Jack, through the movie and the entire run of OVAs, is possibly my favourite incarnation of the franchise/universe as a whole. I adore the very specific and clever blending of comedic tones and seriously dark stakes (Osamu Tezuka ain’t given enough credit for having a HELL of a dark streak, imho) the manga pulls off and I honestly enjoyed the lighter tone of the TV anime on its own merits (though I appreciated the more serious and focused arc the sequel series took), but there’s something very grand, gothic, moody and just gorgeous about Dezaki and his team’s take on the world that is so striking and impactful that it blows my mind that the movie and OVAs aren’t talked about more. All that needs to be said about the specific tone Dezaki & Co. were aiming for is that every time the scene shifts to Black Jack’s cliffside abode in any of the OVAs or the film, the sky is black and grey, rain is coming down heavily, and thunder and lightning crash down to earth with aplomb, and I am HERE for the sheer MELODRAMA of it all.
(it helps that incredibly clever shot composition, gorgeous artwork, and actually engaging stories are mixed in with The Melodrama™️ of course, but that goes without saying)
It's been years since I've seen the movie but I never noticed the cameos that you can see around the 8:16 mark in this video. Bottom right is Don Dracula and the top middle looks like Marukubi Boon translated into Dezaki's style!
WOW! Amazing analysis on the film I loved every second of this video. Btw THANK YOU for mentioning Osomu Dezaki! I learned about him recently and have been blown away by his work. I finished watching Ashita No Joe and I would love it if you made a video on it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
And yes, I do feel like Dezaki doesn't get much credit for how much he really influenced direction in anime.
3:35 epic theme music for an epic man
the Prince of Egypt music was well received and a nice touch
Jack in the movie has the same seiyu as Anavel Gato from Mobile Suit Gundam, Captain Nemo from Secret of Blue Water, Bato from Ghost in the Shell and Solid Snake from Metal Gear
watching this after the sad news from yesterday. hits even harder.
Is that Mary Elizabeth McGlynn voicing the villain!?
Indeed it is.
Wow, this is like the complete opposite of Bennett's opinion.
Bennett's review of this was terrible. Even if one doesn't like the film, Kyoto does it justice by examining the importance and legacy of its creators. Sage honestly has weird expectations/standards for stories.
@@Rj_2099 Yeah, I can definitely see that. I still watch them because it's cool to see anime that doesn't typically get covered be talked about, and he's got good production quality. But then Kyoto Video came along and dominated that shit.
It's times like this where I wish I had to ability to teleport different people into a single room just to watch them hash out their opinions with each other.
I prefer to see it as a difference of opinion. I like these reviews as well as Sage’s, so I can accept both points of view. But that’s just me.
@@juliagoodwin3461 I completely agree. Being able to hear different points of view even ones you dont agree with is good for us. Its helps is be more understanding and sometimes can help us appreciate the differences in how each other sees things.
This video is really good & with ur analysis on how this relates to the author & the guy who worked for him at the time pretty much pay great homage & treated his work ofc with the upmost respect is amazing it makes me want to watch this movie it’s incredible & I definitely believe this should be talked about more
I just realized that one of the announcers in the Olympics scene looks like The Count from Sesame Street (bottom right, 08:16)
With Black Jack I am going OG. I choose to read the mango, knowing full well Tezuka was not that great at animation, and the still drawings will PROBABLY be better at telling the story always meant for that medium.
TL;DR Tezuka is called God of Manga for a reasons.
The joke with Pinoko calling herself Black Jack's wife is due to her actually being over 30.
Not over 30, but at minimum 18.
Amazing review
black jack ova is a masterpiece a true gem
It is funny how using different definition of the same word can bring us so much pain.
I love Black Jack! :'D
I first saw Black Jack in an episode of Astro Boy 1980
I discovered your channel a couple days ago and I love the videos I seen so far but I wanted to know what's the song of your intro?
ローマンRoman - I Miss You (w/ マクロスMACROSS 82-99)
@@KaiserBeamz thanks
Great analysis! What was your take on the other Black Jack movie?
Black Jack is probably my favorite Kirk Thornton dub performance
Most famous doctor? Tisk tisk, someone forgot Dr. Kenzo Tenma! Any chance you'd ever cover Monster?
Since Monster is relatively recent, and he usually covers anime once they turn 20 years old, we might have to wait a bit longer for Monster to show up on this channel.
I heard somewhere that Tezuka made Black Jack because he didn't like the fact that people can sue doctors for malpractice, and that Black Jack himself is a capitalist and class traitor. But I couldn't find the source for that so I'm probably way off base!
Love the video and your editing skills are amazing! The intro is definitely something I vibe with :)
Sounds like some lunatics forum rant
@@mariuspoppFMHuh?
@@Lori_P89 A guess for this theory source
@@mariuspoppFM I tried to find it and I'll be damned, I can't find it anywhere. I must have saw somebody quoting it second hand then? You're free to ignore my 1 year old post then I guess.
@@Lori_P89 I have no problems with it, just with that theory. Your own words are quite agreeable
This was great. Thank you
