As Im sure people remember from my utter hatred of Martyrs on the previous list, torture porn is really hard for me to enjoy unless there is a quality storyline (and there also has to be a certain level of detachment in terms of my ability to believe the events of a torture porn film are really happeninglike the Saw franchise.) But those last thirty minutestheyre just awful. It starts out terrible with visions of Asami forcing a bagged victim to eat her vomit, and then its just needless torture and suffering of a guy who didnt really do anything TOO wrong (outside of faking an audition to find a girlfriend I suppose). And then the movie ends with a bizarrely-realistic portrayal of Asami as a total fuck-up, dicking around with pepper spray and eventually getting kicked down some stairs to her death. Itsnot right at all. Additionally though, while the movie did eventually have a segment (the third quarter) that intrigued me with how off-putting and creepy Asami isthe film is not well-paced in my opinion. I think its a cultural thing, because this isnt the first Japanese movie Ive watched where it feels less like drawing out the tension and more like just padding the runtime (Im thinking specifically about the scene where the son clears the table for far too long, early in the film.) I dunnofor a movie thats almost 2 hours long, it just felt like it dragged way too much. Far too much filler for a movie with a gross-out ending that ALMOST feels completely detached from the rest of the movie (aside from the information provided during the visit to the closed-down bar.) --- Listen, suffering is a fact of life. Either you learn how to deal with that or you go under. https://i.imgtc.ws/2Q88rI4.gif ... Copied to Clipboard! |
