![]() This film is a bunch of double crosses on top of each other with a wolf eating Red Riding Hood imagery on top of it all. A girl who takes him on dates to zoos and amusement parks for some reason. Fuse also visits the grave of the girl who committed suicide and meets her sister named Kei Amemiya. With him surviving the explosive based on his armor, that leads to him going under basic training again. Even with her committing suicide with a bomb, he can’t get himself to do it. One Kerberos trooper, Kazuki Fuse, holds a red riding hood at gun point unable to fire his weapon for some reason. Of course, the real story starts in the sewers. To even the odds a bit, little girls dressed in red hoods bring massive explosives which protestors can throw at police to break their riot shield walls. The normal police are on top holding out against protestors with their riot shields. The film starts with an unrest in motion. All framed with the story of Red Riding Hood Does this possibly sound a little crazy to you guys? Or if possible, familiar? You can see why this is kind of upsetting, right? It gets worse. A hyper elite police force with invincible armor who are strong enough to carry whole machine guns while walking without much strain on their bodies. The government has become much more totalitarian state with the hidden police force, the Kerberos troops. A surprise to no one, the country is under a state of political unrest. It takes place after a German occupation of Japan after World War 2 finished. Jin-Roh takes place in an alternative 1950’s Japan. Not because he didn’t want to, but Bandai visual got in the way. ![]() The music is by Yoko Kanno and directed by his protégé, Hiroyuki Oikura. You could say that this was something special. In terms of adaptions, this is the third film of his Kerberos saga and the only animated portion of it. Still, it is written by him and it is based on Oshii’s own Kerberos Panzer Cop manga so it counts. I do have to mention that this is the only film of this month not directed by Mamoru Oshii himself. We will get why over the course of the review. If there was a movie that I watched this month that hurt watching in this horrible year than any other, it’s this one.
