Takashi Miike, I can't accept it

The film is not long. Fortunately, it is not long. It may be because this is a series film. Otherwise, the audience will definitely collapse, and the collective will collapse. It is said that the rape scene in the film "Irrevocable" caused half of the audience to stand up and walk out of the stage in protest. I think this film's sentence of punishment can completely make the audience stand up and walk out of the stage to protest.

Lao Mei said that she decided to make a special, more terrifying episode, and said, "Why don't we find someone who made "Audition" ("Skin-cut Love") to film it..." Oh, it's really tmd.

Horror films can be divided into psychological and physical. The former relies on psychological cues, such as Sadako, and the latter is the instinctual physical resistance and fear of people when encountering violence and blood. The avoidance of the pain caused by empathy belongs to the physiological phenomenon of conditioned reflex that makes you feel sick when you see blood. "Audition" ("Skin-cut Love") is the latter, and Miike-sama's other "Ghost Call" is the former.

Amazing imagination. It's not about the plot. It's pointless to discuss the plot in this kind of film. What it brings is the beauty and excitement of the camera. I subconsciously began to turn my head several times, unable to bear the pictures and sounds on the screen.

The opening chapter is that the facial features are deformed, disabled, and the organs are not whole (note that it is not a neat whole, but a complete one), ... insert the steel needles into the nails one by one, into the upper and lower gums, and slowly show the details and process with the camera , coupled with the vivid and three-dimensional sound of drilling flesh, tearing, and screaming, and at the same time matching the rich colors with the human body, turning the metamorphosis to the extreme into a strong suffocating beauty, whether it is a picture or a feeling, it is very tense. This is the skill of Michi-sama, and it is also a concentrated reflection of the people on the east island.

There are also babies with umbilical cords pouring them into the stream again and again like garbage; babies are pulled out from their lower bodies like radishes; a hand grows on the head, with one eye and three teeth in the palm of the hand. Mouth...

If I were to ask someone to describe what hell looks like, I think Miike Takashi-sama would be the first choice.
