Drowning in Odium

Battlefield Baseball

When I first heard about this film, I really didn’t know what to expect. All I knew was that it was japanese and that it was about baseball teams that kill each other. So I figured that it would be either really bad or really good. Luckily, it was the latter.

Battlefield baseball is a really crazy fucking film, with that really cool japanese sense of humor. I don’t know why, but Japanses people can really pull this kind of film off, blending the right amounts of dorky fun and actual movie profesionallism. When Americans try to do this, it usually turns out to be some shitty Troma film or something. But not this one.

While you watch Battlefiled Baseball, you will definitely get the idea that the people behind this were on some serious drugs, as it is so illogical and insane. But that’s why it’s so fucking cool! Very few films can be dorky and still be watchable, but this is the exeption. What the fuck are you waiting for? Go watch this movie now!
