"Killer Aichi" was the first movie I saw directed by Takashi Miike. I watched part of it in high school and then had the opportunity to watch the whole movie. I haven't read the original manga by Hideo Yamamoto. Hengyuan is naturally the most outstanding character in this film, a masochist, whose sloppy and neurotic temperament is addictive. As a schizophrenic and madman, Hajime's world is nothing but villains and tears, as well as endless anger and erections. The paragraph where the uncle showed his muscles was amazing, he crushed the opponent's bones. Takashi Miike created a lot of unforgettable CULT scenes in this movie, such as Heng Yuan cutting his own tongue in order to admit his mistake, such as hanging others and stabbing people with silver sticks. The most impressive scene in my mind is the part where Heng Yuan pulls the face, and in the end the face of the man is smashed to pieces.
