is it a bird? is it a plane? ...nah, fuck that ...it's Zebraman
You probably won't find a wackier film than Takashi Miike's "Zebraman", a Japanese movie about a loser who discovers that, by making a homemade superhero costume, he can literally transform into his TV idol (who was cancelled years ago) and fight alien invaders. Of course in this movie the invaders happen to be little jumping green goo that only goes up as far as your knees, and their only real power seems to be to possess humans and make them do bad things, but are nevertheless determined to rule the planet for some unexplained reason. Speaking of which, the word "unexplained" best describes "Zebraman". Nothing in the film is explainable, and one suspects that's all part of the film's charm.
"Zebraman" stars Miike regular Sho Aikawa ("Ley Lines", "Rainy Dog", and a host of other Miike films) as Ichikawa, a teacher who is having more than a little trouble adjusting to mid-life. He's disrespected at school, at home, and he's such a loser that his son gets beaten up on a regular basis for it. But Ichikawa has a secret -- at night he is making his own Zebraman costume, determined to escape from his pitiful existence by immersing himself into a world where he can be the hero. "Zebraman" the cancelled TV show is about a mild mannered junior high school teacher who, when the Earth is threatened, suits up in a black and white costume to save the planet.
