birincisi bu film japon sinemasından değildir. 2003 yapımı bir güney kore filmidir. ikincisi yönetmeni japon takeshi miike değil güney koreli park chan-wook tur. bu aralar steven spielberg tarafından bir remakei yapılacaktı, yalan oldu.

dae su oh nun "gül, dünya da seninle gülsün; ağla, ama tek başına." şeklinde alıntı yaptığı ella wheeler wilcox un solitude adlı şiirinin tamamı da şu şekildedir.

laugh, and the world laughs with you:
weep, and you weep alone;
for the sad old earth
must borrow its mirth,
it has trouble enough of its own.

sing, and the hills will answer;
sigh, it is lost on the air;
the echoes bound
to a joyful sound,
but shrink from voicing care.

rejoice, and men will seek you;
grieve, and they turn and go;
they want full measure
of all your pleasure,
but they do not want your woe.

be glad, and your friends are many;
be sad, and you lose them all;
there are none to decline
your nectared wine,
but alone you must drink life s gall.

feast, and your halls are crowded;
fast, and the world goes by;
succeed and give,
and it helps you live,
but it cannot help you die.

there is room in the halls of pleasure
for a long and lordly train;
but one by one
we must all file on
through the narrow aisles of pain.
