  [KFCC] Fireworks Review
Fireworks certainly is violent (though nowhere near on the same level as Violent Cop) but the violence is an aspect of the film, a characteristic of Nishi's world.
Fireworks presents an emotional ride that leaves you heartbroken and distraught in the conclusion.
Though when I did view Fireworks I sensed that it was carefully constructed with Kitano's most personal and human emotions (Perhaps due to his near-fatal motorcycle accident when working on the film caused this).

 Hana-Bi Movie Review
Go to the local video store or movie theater, and see his intense and poignant cinematic masterpieces that speak to themes of redemption, honor, loyalty, and the inevitability of death.
The Japanese title translates into 'Fireworks", but if you look further into the basis of the Japanese character for 'fireworks', you will see that it is composed of two smaller words-- 'fire' and 'flower'.
And like the linguistic basis of the title, the story and style of "Hana-Bi" is the synthesis of two opposing images, one being an agent of destruction, and the other a symbol of birth and renewal.

 This World, Then the Fireworks Movie Review
But Takeshi Kitano upsets the popular stereotype in "Fireworks," known also by the Japanese title "Hani Bi"--which means "flower" and "fire." There are fireworks aplenty in Kitano's picture but also a great deal of gentleness, two virtues which are combined in its principal character, Kitano, who also wrote and directed.
As a genre-bender, the movie can confuse viewers who can't place it in the category of police/action-adventure but also feel uncomfortable calling it a comedy or a family melodrama.
Nishi lights fireworks for her and helps a child they met on the beach to fly her kite.

 Movie Madness! - FIREWORKS
While most cop movies would spend their remaining running time detailing Nishi's quest for vengeance, Takeshi has another agenda in mind, and Nishi kills the bad guy immediately.
Many modern cop movies are comparable to samurai films, but Takeshi's almost exactly follow the pace and atmosphere of the best of that genre.
Though I come away from the film with images of Nishi's savage encounters with the greedy crimials, also memorable are the many quieter scenes and themes in between, especially the subjects and results of Horibe's emerging artistic talent (artwork also contributed by Takeshi), and playful moments spent with Nishi and his wife (Kayoko Kishimoto).

 Fireworks (1947)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Granted, Fireworks is not the kind of movie that is going to lead to a very promising filmmaking career.
I spent about the first minute of Fireworks waiting to see something that would justify the fact that I was watching it at a screening for a film class at the University level, and then I spent about the next 19 minutes or so waiting for it to end.
I did not enjoy a second of the film, but it is clear that there is a message to be derived from it, maybe about the plight of the young homosexual male in the late 40s or the fact that men get raped, too (although, of course, also be men).

 Movie Review - Fireworks - eFilmCritic
FIREWORKS is one of the best films made in the past five years and it is arguably Japanese director "Beat" Takeshi Kitano’s best film to date and now it’s available on DVD from New Yorker Video.
Like many of his other films, FIREWORKS uses droll humor coupled with underlying tragedy combined with a style that is at once tranquil and explosive.
FIREWORKS may sound like a second rate Hollywood movie but it is far from it.

 Movie Database - [TV Guide Online]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Cool, stylized and deeply odd, this astringently maudlin fable about the healing power of art and the enduring strength of bitter bonds of loyalty and love is wrapped in a cop movie so hard-boiled it's cracked.
Tough-guy police detective Nishi ("Beat" Takeshi Kitano) is at the end of his rope, sick to death of running down punks and gangsters, haunted by the death of his colleague Tanaka (Makoto Ashikawa), the terminal illness of his wife Miyuki (Kayoko Kishimoto) and the despair of his best friend Horibe (Ren Osugi).
Forewarned is forearmed: The fluid, disorienting shifts between austere sentimentality and vicious violence that drive this disturbing film are familiar to fans of Japanese filmmaker and media phenomenon Takeshi Kitano (who acts under the name Beat Takeshi, a holdover from his days as a stand-up comedian), but may leave newcomers perplexed and even angry.

 AudiWorld Forums: Movie Review: "Fireworks" ("Hana-Bi")
Despite his comedic roots, Kitano's films tend to be very dark, depressing affairs generally characterized by long stretches of visually intriguing silence punctuated by sudden outbursts of shockingly brutal and bloody violence.
It deals with the tribulations of former undercover cop Nishi (Kitano) as he copes with his wife's terminal leukemia in the wake of the sudden death of their daughter.
However, since Nishi is a man of few words (in fact, there isn't all that much dialogue in the movie), you never know when he'll crack and heaven help anyone who's in his viscinity when he goes.

 deseretnews.com - Movie review: Fireworks (Hana-bi) | Deseret Morning News Web edition
Kitano's films display very Hong Kong-like characteristics, and his latest, "Fireworks (Hana-bi)" is an exceptional piece of filmmaking, a drama that blurs the line between the ultra-violent cop movie genre and weepy but moving melodrama, and does it very convincingly.
The storyline revolves around Yoshitaka Nichi (Kitano), a guilt-ridden, former detective who blames himself for neglecting his wife, Miyuki (Kayoko Kishimoto), and for not being there when his longtime partner, Horibe (Ren Osugi) was paralyzed during a police stakeout.
"Fireworks (Hana-bi)" is not rated but would certainly receive at least an R for violent fistfighting and gunplay, gory makeup effects, profanity and some vulgar references.
