I went to the pub late on Saturday because I knew I wanted to see the midnight movie - Ichi The Killer.
So I'm talking to a hot Bosnian chick I've and she says she'd love to go with me.
Very violent, I say, apart from that don't know too much about it. I'm from Bosnia, she says, seen it all,.
She drives us there in her brand new motor, things are going well.
I buy 2 tickets and we sit in the darkened theatre with a bunch of trenchcoats.
Opening scene is of a girl getting the living piss beaten out of her by a guy who obviously gets off on it and proceeds to rape her. Ichi (our "hero") is watching through the window.
The rapist hears a sound outside the window and when he goes to investigate, Ichi's gone but the camera focuses on the fresh glob of sperm he's left dripping off a ficus leaf.
Okay.
This movie is the most graphically violent thing I've ever watched. For the next 2 1/4 hours there is sheer butchery on the screen.
You have to see it to believe the sheer variety and inventiveness of Takeshi Miike's ways of kiiling people.
Plenty of rape, allusions to rape, discussion of rape too. The message is also hammered home that Ichi, our hero, while objecting to rape in principle clearly gets off on watching it.
I think it was around the time that a girls clamped nipples were stretched across a table and then sliced off that I questioned the wiseness of bringing a girl I wanted to f to a movie like this.
She was game enough and laughed and squeezed my hand and shit but it was obvious that she wanted the movie to be over a lot earlier than it ended.
I liked the movie a lot but it wasn't the perfect date movie by along stretch.
I got a lift back to the pub to pick up my bike, a peck on the cheek and for some reason laughed all the way home.
