Hello tropers and beyond! My name is Micah, I'm new to this website, and as a film enthusiast, I love it. I've noticed that many of my favorite films have been properly troped and then some (Leon the Professional, Mulholland Drive, Donnie Darko, Audition, Memento Mori etc). I however have not found a trope page for the live action Japanese film "Casshern" and would love to see one. This would be for the full uncut 140 minutes version from Japan and not the butchered widely disliked by fans 120 minute version created for the US. I've started accumulating some tropes but it's slow going since I don't know that many yet. That and it's a really complicated film. I'd love some help on it if any of you would like to. If you come up with some tropes to mind, please by all means shoot away! So far I've written down the following tropes. I'll have to review them to make sure I'm not mistaken about them. Obviously there's spoilers, so beware!:
Mind Screw, Bittersweet Ending, Chekhov's Gunman - Casshern the Guardian God never appears onscreen but his miracles (or lightning bolts do) and are what has a domino effect on the plot. The God's character is briefly explained halfway through in a story., Fantastic Racism, Space Whale Aesop, Anyone can Die, Everybody's dead Dave, Kill 'Em All, The End of the World as we Know It, The Aloner (Burai), Misanthrope Supreme (Burai), Big Bad (Burai), Bigger Bad (Dr. Azuma), Anti Villain (Burai), Designated Villain (Although Burai ends up with intentions for genocide, he was originally killed for no reason and once he was resurrected, him and his people again were hunted down for just existing), Immortality Seeker (Dr. Azuma and the Government), Grey and Gray Morality, Black and Gray Morality, Cynicism Catalyst (Burai and his fellow neo sapiens were hunted down to be killed. He then takes it upon himself to murder the entire human race as rightful justice), Famous last words, The hero dies, Kubrick Stare
