So does anyone else like Ringu and what is it that is so fantastic about it?
sorry i donīt know the address : (
if you liked the american version i donīt know what to say. I think the american version really sucks. they have made a excellent movie to a crappy movie.
they who only have seen the american and then seen the japanese version and say that the american is better, i donīt understand.
the relationship between the people in the japanese version is much more complex than in the american version.
i recommend that you see all 3 of the ring movies. they really scares the **** out of you. then see "Juon" that is even more scarier. "Kairo" is also really good!
Well,thatīs it exactly: I have seen only the american version so far...so, I think Iīll upreciate the japanese version even more,if I have seen the crappy american version first?
The prob is that I should buy all the japanese ones,I donīt think they have these in the rental places.
And I believe you when you say the japanese one is much better. Itīs easy for me, because I have seen tons of crappy american movies, where you can really see how they aim just to collect money, and to make "good entertainment"..they have forgotten all about making stories with passion, real ideas, intuition, remembering the artistic side of things..
Of course there are good movies from the us too, but I mean the most of the mainstream movies...Iīm bored with them..
But Iīll watch all the japanese ones, I promise.When I have some people to watch them with me,Iīm too scared to do that alone :)
tear tear. i can never find such things. :(
If you have a multiregion DVD player -or program for a computer DVD drive (for example DVD Region free) this site seems pretty good for plenty of asian films. ;)
aznfilms (http://www.aznfilms.com)
As far as i know they are based in america so you should be alright to order stuff.
Porl''
P.s. Just had a look and some of the films on there are US region aswell.. ;)
I saw Rasen yesterday. Unfortunaly the crappy DVD disc was not working correctly in the end of the movie and I missed alot (genetic-experiment etc). So if someone would fill me in about from the well scene and forward I would be very happy!
:bow:
Spiral is a bit confusing, it's based more on the original novel, i didnt enjoy it as much as Ring 2 ~ although if your a hardcore Ring fan it's a nice addition to your collection.
This website : http://ringworld.somrux.com/ is the best Ring website i have found, it contains alot of information about the novel / manga / movies / tv series ~
i finally saw the whole Rasen movie. The actors were great. Takayama is back and so is his girlfriend. It is not so dark as Ringu, but thatīs ok. The story is more of a side story than a follow up to Ringu 1.
I took the movie for what it was so I donīt feel dissapointed. It doesnīt quite live up to Ringu class, but it is a good movie.
I recommend everyone that like Ringu to see it, cuz donīt we all just love Sadako ; )
I have seen only the us version of it, and it _really_, freaked me out. Iīm still nervous because of it,even I saw it 3 months ago...
But then again, the whole story and the athmospere in the movie was so good, that I want to know more,see more,etc, even it makes me sick of fear...
Well what can I say, realy good horror movies, no question about it, I get spooked by the slow Japanese filmmaking style, I mean they realy take you by surprise, It can be daytime and everything and scariest shyte still happens haha, well anyway these movies top my list of scary movies of all time...
;)
Ring 0 is about Sadakos life when she was young. When you have seen it you will feel different about her. I feel sorry for her
yeah, definatley, its a completely different Sadoko it is quite a sad story, like Shakesperian Tragedy or something haha :bawling:
Is there a tv-series? Where can I get it?
So is Rasen taken from the TV-series?
They were made into Japanese dramas. (TV series lasting about 8 weeks).
Rasen isn't taken from the TV, both the TV drama & movie were based on the original book.
As far as I know the only way to get the series is to get a copy that was copied from the original broadcast. I don't think they've been released for sale.
Unfortunately I can't fill you in on Rasen because the movie, TV & book are all jumbled up in my mind and I forgot what goes with what.
And the little boy was really ugly looking ~ the young Japanese boy was much more cool and creepy !
The only thing i did like in the US version was how Samara looked static like a television image when she came out of the tv. But besides that the rest of the movie was a bit crap (-_-; )
I really like the darkness in 1,2. Itīs like something is about to come out of the darkness all the time. In Ringu 0 there is also that darkness but the first two movies are darker I think. Nakata-san really knows how to use darkness. That is something you could see in Dark Water (really good movie that scared the **** out of me!) also.
Darkwater is a really really good film! i bought it as a japanase import. I really recommend it. :)
--also, i recommend seeing The Eye....not a Ring film..but spooky none the less.
Porl''
Still need to see Ring 0 and Ring Virus ~
So is Rasen taken from the TV-series?
I am very interested in Spiral aswell, HennaSaru told me about it and it cought my interest instantly, I hope it's good :cool: ...
:o
Realy looking forward to Darkwater :bow: ...
I might see them if I ever get the chance. I did like Ringu but I actually liked the American version 'The Ring' better. I don't know why. I guess I thought it was a bit scarier. That's just my personal opinion.
I did like the psychic girl better though in Ringu than in the American version. She seemed much more evil.

About the TV-version: I will check with me friends and see if they got a copy.
i finally saw the whole Rasen movie. The actors were great. Takayama is back and so is his girlfriend. It is not so dark as Ringu, but thatīs ok. The story is more of a side story than a follow up to Ringu 1.
Actually Rasen was released as Ring2 originally ~ but because of poor ticket sales, they decided to make the other Ring2 and replace Rasen with that.
Rasen's storyline is closer to the original novel's storyline.
if you liked the american version i donīt know what to say. I think the american version really sucks. they have made a excellent movie to a crappy movie.
they who only have seen the american and then seen the japanese version and say that the american is better, i donīt understand.

I haven't seen the American one though, but I hope to soon. :)
