Watching Kikujiro almost made me cry. It sucks for Masao to go all the way to another city to find a mother he's never met with a man he barely knows (and meets a pedophile at a park) only to find out that she already has another family. What a sad ending.
Overall, it's a funny and touching movie. The encounters that they have with all those characters on their way to Toyohashi are really funny. I think the funniest parts are when they stay at the expensive hotel and they try to swap their old clothes for the clothes at the hotel's boutique, when Kikujiro pretends to be blind and gets hit by a car and when they meet the two biker guys. It's also nice to see the Japanese countryside instead of the big cities. I also like the film score.

I thought that the killers came out in 1994 the film by John Woo but i was mistaken it came out in 1989 but i actually saw it in 1995 along with another John Woo film hard boiled with chow yun fat which were my two favorite films to this date.
The killer is the story of an assassin who tries to find redemption because of a hit that went wrong. He blinded a woman during a gun fight and he felt guilty about it. Throughout the movie the relationship between him and the blind woman was very interesting. The cop who plays another role in the movie almost was in a way the killers long lost brother as the two developed a relationship as well "mickey mouse and dumbo" my favorite scene in the movie is the last gun fighting scene in the chapel woooooo.
