How much does Quentin like this pink masterpiece that Jun Ito also directed? Even the soundtrack was moved directly from "Kill Bill". It is also possible that he loves the starring Kaji Meiko. After all, the fight in the snow in "Kill Bill" is another movie "Shura Xue Ji" starring her. "Female Prisoner 701" is the representative work of Meiko Kaji and the most famous work of "Pink Violence", a genre of pink movies. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, there were also many lesbian, torture, prison Other themes are the main types of exploitation films, but from the perspective of artistry and the core of the film's expression, they are slightly inferior to "Female Prisoner 701". This is also a very remarkable film about women's rights.
The story of the film is not complicated, revenge and confrontation are full of the whole film. From the beginning of the film, Meiko Kaji wanted to escape from the prison but was caught back. She was used and betrayed by the male policeman she once loved and was wrongfully imprisoned. On one side is the road of revenge that is determined to kill the evil man, on the other side is the prisoner in the prison who was bought by her ex-boyfriend to assassinate her, and the prison guard who doesn't care about the lives of the female prisoners. This is how a woman fights against the whole world. story, and the world is as terrifying as hell. The whole film is filled with a lot of pornographic scenes. The bloody scenes are quite comic-like, with a little less authenticity but more blood. very ingenious. The cinematography and lighting effects of the film are gorgeous, with dramatic rich light and shadow in the dark corners, adding some very dazzling moments with a stage quality to this tragic story.
Unsurprisingly, Kaji Meiko finally succeeded in revenge, but this was a battle with violence, and she finally returned to prison. There are several follow-ups in the series, but I personally think that they are not as exciting and heart-warming as this one. When we are shocked by Kaji Meiko's violence and cold-bloodedness, we should look back and think about what drove her to this step. Perhaps this is also the main idea that the director wanted to express when shooting the film. An interest group formed by evil men who reported to each other for approval, a How ironic and true is it that innocent women are exploited, hurt and silenced.
