Here's what to shop from Apple, Bose and more. Remember when the internet was so new and mysterious we thought it might plausibly contain demons? Now we know it's just full of assholes.
Pulse presciently predicted in that widespread internet use would lead to chronic loneliness, isolation, and misery; states of mind that are represented here as shadowy black stains and paranoid red tape.
Kurosawa jumps degree lines, re-organizes the space of a scene via shots that feel unnecessary and bring us out of the action on screen, and then suddenly it becomes obvious as new information emerges into the frame. This can either be for horror aka ghoooooooossssssts or even comedy…. That being said, it is essential to note that this is not a film about the social dangers of the internet, or what have you.
Rather, it is a film about the degradation of human systems—especially those regarding not only communication but representation —and the means through which loneliness and alienation may proliferate as a virus in the wake of such breakdown. The fact that the internet is the system breaking down here is, as the film itself overtly makes clear, arbitrary.
A rare case of a technologically contemporary film be it horror or any other genre only becoming more relevant with time. Kurosawa's digital ghost story is actually haunting, as people form connections that only distance them, the living cocooned into ghosts that seek out others to convert but can never seem to keep their turned pals around them. The direction is so subtle that the insistent score only bursts into sound after a ghost appears or something unnerving happens, as if even the composer were caught off-guard.
Not scary, maybe, but the melancholy of the picture is as powerful a feeling a film has ever imparted upon me. A masterpiece. This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth. Odd, isn't it, that your denial of the existence of ghosts is the very reason they exist? That the fear of admitting life after death exists is intrinsically linked with the loneliness and isolation of the departed?
That the lack of contact in the real world and in cyberspace, both worlds perceived as havens of interaction and communication, may not end in death? Maybe ghosts are real, maybe they're just as lonely as they were alive — whisper for help, writhe for acknowledgement, but everyone will try to forget.
This is my first Kiyoshi Kurosawa, and I have to say… what an introduction. I'm fully blown away by just how perfect Pulse is.
