[QUOTE="SowiesoGroyp, post: 16812, member: 6"] the first half was really good, but the second half was really gross. it is entirely unsurprising that a film like this had a sexual predator at the helm. i felt uneasy during this film's second half and i couldn't put my finger on it, but it's obvious now what that was. this film is pretty much unwatchable to me after that. i don't detest this film solely because it is perv bait, because i'm still not sure it is. i thought koike and yoko's introduction made them out to be super compelling female characters, but yu just devolved further and further as the film progressed to the point where it became hard to not want his dick to be cut off. a shame because his actor is good and his arc is the first half was really compelling. a detestable main character is not necessarily a bad thing, as they are present in all media, and are a good way to apply a new lens to your film. but here he was presented in a way where the nuance isn't addressed and more so tossed out the window for a hollywood ending. that being said the ending to this film is putrid and is so anti-feminist it's insane. "not every film needs to be feminist" if a film like this that is SO PERVERTED doesn't have a feminist twist, then what is the statement you are making? what is the point? because it seems obvious to me what the point would be. the first half had me so interested because it teased so many interesting ideas. sex and religion. lesbianism and drag. it gave me so much hope i was in for a film experience i would never forget. but it just devolved and devolved until it basically just became a fourth grader's shitpost porn. i really can't with this film. i get it means a lot to many people, but i can't get behind it at all. Mysterious Skin is one of my favorite movies of all time for how it addressed a perverted and disgusting topic in a human way. this film did not, and that's a damn shame. this is the worst kind of film. a film with so much promise and fantastic acting throw away at the end for a worthless ending. i genuinely don't get the praise for this. i've gone on record for my dislike of Сталкер [Stalker], but i can at least see the value in that film, even if i don't get it myself. this though? i've never been so divided between two halves of a film. i could never watch this again since it left me feeling ill. and as much as i loved the yura yura teikoku use in the soundtrack, even that wasn't enough to save this. sorry.
