"Asuza is a yakusa always dressed in white, a pure, yet tarnished man. A child from the streets, he saw his father assassinated by his older brother, and his mother commit suicide. These traumatizing events haunt him in the present. Asuza is now a member of a criminal group. He has been taken under the wing of the gang's leader, his new adoptive father. When this second father figure is suddenly assassinated, Asuza plunges rapidly into an infernal revenge scheme. As he searches tirelessly for the killer, he discovers that once again, his older brother is the culprit. A confrontation is inevitable. When Asuza meets his brother face to face, he learns that behind every murder committed, lie motives more complex than they first appear.
Man in White is, in many ways, quite different from the typical Japanese gangster film. It is comparable to another work by Miike, Agitator (also written by screenwriter Shinegori Takechi and with actor Masaya Kato). It forces viewers to direct their gaze toward the shifty world of the mafia and its anti-heroes. This time around, everything is done with seriousness and realism (with a few crazy gun fights here and there, nonetheless). All of the themes that are important to fans of Miike are here, ready to be uncovered and appreciated by seasoned film connoisseurs and amateurs alike. The world evoked in this film is a fundamentally masculine one, haunted by an oppressive atmosphere of guilt. The killers are sometimes completely crazed, while at other times they are crushed under the weight of an implacable destiny. At times, they are both of these things at once. In its form as well as its content, Man in White is a film that plunges viewers into a corrupt and merciless underground world, a beast with multiple heads that Miike does not cease to brilliantly dissect, in his naturally schizophrenic way."

Bleak Yakuza film recommended for fans of Takashi Miike and other similar genre efforts like Pornostar.
Por cierto, agui, ¿podrías aclararme a qué versión corresponden los subs? Quiero decir... en kloofy sólo he podido encontrar unos subs en "instant" donde pone "zentik"... ¿están sincronizados con el ripeo de shaolinwolf?
Sí, antes contábamos con la intempestiva kaoru... :P pero no creo que esta película se quede sin subs, silien, no creo siquiera que tarden en salir... ;)
¿Alguien sabe si lleva subs incrustados? Como salen en las capturas...
Llamadme impaciente, pero está todo como un poquitín rojo, ¿no?
Esperaba que iba a ser una de esas descargas masivas lleno de orientales y sólo estamos los amiguetes...
Subs traducidos a la espera de que se descargue la peli!! :punk:
Ya dije que no tardarían, estarán dentro de 370 megas, un visionado y una revisión. Las fuentes se han disparado. Gracias chicos. :)
Qué ganas! El guión me ha gustado, dinámico.

Y joder con la paginita que has puesto Kaisha... Estarás contento... Debería estar prohibido postear esas cosas :P .
Entonces, ¿se puede bajar esta peli sin problemas?
Entonces, ¿se puede bajar esta peli sin problemas? Es decir, ¿está la historia completa o se compone de dos partes al estilo Agitator?
Según he leido en Twitch no se trata de una versión "aligerada", parece que se ha editado en dos partes:

El segundo enlace cuenta bastante sobre la peli, lo digo para que no os la vaya a joder a los que no la habéis visto.
Está en FSS, yo la estoy descargando y cuando termine la compartiré en el Emule, si alguien más se anima a bajar el torrent pues mejor...
si nadie en concreto (y prácticamente pienso en los autores de los dos posts anteriores) piensa ponerse con ellos, me pongo yo, para rematar la peli. Esta vez no seré tan tardón, promesso :)

Sinopsis: "The Man In White" is a standard, straight forward Yakuza movie directed by Takashi Miike. It lacks most of Miike's most known trademark elements, namely: excessive gore, the dark humor and the overall weirdness present in stuff like "Gozu" or "Ichi The Killer". Instead it builds up around one thread line, revenge. A theme that is all to familiar to the genre and has become more or less cliché to the point of no return. Even though this limitation, Miike once again demonstrates his unnatural ability of exploiting his resources to the maximum and turns "Man In White" from an average forgettable Yakuza flick to an entertaining but strong on character movie.
After his boss is murdered by a hired hit-man. Asuzam known as a fanatically loyal, headstrong and merciless Yakuza sets forth to exact his revenge on the people responsible for his boss's death. Expect a large body-count, lots of hand to hand combat and shootouts as our main character plunges his way through the Japanese underworld in order to find the culprit. The story makes some interesting turns and at some point Asuza finds himself allied with the same person who killed his boss, fighting together against the people who paid for the assassination. The film tries to stay as morally ambiguous as possible, characters are well developed not just Asuza and the people on his side but also the hit-man and his companion. Their motivations and reasons become clearer and believable. Asuza is still the central figure though and his relationship with his now-deceased boss plays the most crucial role in the film. As it is the loyalty to him that drives Asuza on the path of revenge. The whole thing plays out very nicely, with a series of flashbacks and semi-dreamlike sequences that establish their relations.
Miike has an ability to work with low-budgets we've seen that in dozens of his previous film. His limitations force him to improvise or search for alternative ways to shoot a movie. More or less this is what helps drive his creative genius, making some of the weirdest, brutal, darkly funny films. And while "The Man In White" lacks a bit on those trademarks of his, it still proves that he is creative with a low budget. Scenes are shot using different cameras. Where as the scenes at day time and indoors are shot in a traditional way, the scenes at night time are shot with a low pixel camera creating a grainy, raw look to the film. The whole feel is very urban, like watching a real hidden-cam documentary on yakuza activities.
"The Man In White" is a nice little crime/revenge movie from Miike with a nice emphasis on character and story, decent action scenes and good camera-work. While not particularly original it still holds enough appeal to people who like Miike's work or just yakuza movies in general to give it a shot. By IMDB
(...) Es evidente que sigue un poco la estela de Agitator: mismo guionista, mismo actor protagonista, mismo o parecido esquema, y se inscribe en cierto modo en el Miike "Graveyard of honor". Un cine más reposado, con explosiones de rabia a todos los niveles, fílmicas y de los personajes. Digamos que Miike demuestra que el también sabe hacer grandes películas, clásicos asumibles, por así decirlo.
en cuanto llegue a casa pongo la segunda parte entera en el disco duro
