Sei no Gekiyaku (2020)

ADULT VIEWING

Holy wow and gosh what has my eyes just seen.

This movie was off the charts to anyone who is open minded and looks beyond the BDSM that was done in this movie. Firstly I am actually surprised that this was made, although there some parts that I felt were a bit over the top, but hats off to all who did this.

The story line was pretty much there but you only got too see and understand the reasons why they both needed and went through what they did, towards the end of the show.

This was definitely a hardcore, with superb acting.

Overall not a really a rewatch material and definitely not for faint hearted and closed mine!

not that deep

everybody keeps on claiming that it has depth, a background or a solid logical base. no my lads, it doesn't. a doctor tries ro implement will to live thru r@pe. it feels lije somebody wrote smut and then tried to add some plot or a base to it. theres no match, pacing sucks, holes in the plot timeline... there was no real shift to affection, no post trauma behavioral disorders or any legit reaction- even stocholm syndrome would make sense in this unimportant piece of work but no, they skipped it for the sake of "good mutual fixed love ending". nobody needed a happy ending, nobody even expected it. they could stick to a effed storyline and make it all about ass@ult or whatever but no, they have to establish all them cute tropes.

sometimes i write last minute essays on my phone- but even them have a better plot structure than this thing. if any of you dig into this movie and find something of value- it is not because of the movie, but it is your own productive and logical thinking skills. Superficial and boring, but yea hornyjail.

First off I want to upload the writer and the movie director they really went above my Expectations for this movie I liked it a lot and the storyline it's something that is not usual that is why I like it so much because it's something new it makes you sit back when you're sitting better or is a horror I guess you and your mind set to BL and we see sense that we never seen before so I really want to appreciate the director and the movie writer because they really went beyond anyone's expectations I never seen something like this before and I think it's the first saying something like this so I will just encourage people to go and see it and you will judge for you as well because this is something you start something usual we see in bills they pushed it to the next level of the thought out of the box

It is super twisted, but also looking besides that-

I mean... what a sick movie. And it might give wrong impressions off on how outsiders would look at the "gay" and "bdsm" communities, bc of crime; rape, kidnapping. Really sick scenes.
This worries me a bit, especially as there are only a very few BL movies out there in Japan.
Bdsm is something you gotta be well informed about /enough, before getting the real image of what it actually is and not many people out there worldwide know ENOUGH about this. And therefore only sees from what it looks like -so did I, before diving into it.

But then if we look away from all that, and look at it as a movie itself and the genre crime.
It is a really well-made movie! and really good acting.
There were also actually slice of life in there too; death/living, having difficulties living in the cold hard world, acceptance, stuck in the past, etc.
And a very well-made quality movie.

A different take on what this movie is about

In my life I’ve encountered a number of people who are suicidal, alcoholics or compulsive destructive. I’ve found trying to be kind or supportive to these people only enables their issues. More often than not a ‘tough love’ approach is necessary. The term ‘love’ might not even apply but in this case I believe it does. As with basic training in the military, when you need to break someone of their behavior you essentially have to put them through a really rough time and then attempt to build them back into someone else. I believe the doctor understands this and is perfectly capable of being as brutal as necessary to bring about the result of making the patient want to live.

This story may be tough to watch as many reviews have stated but I think it will make it easier to get through it if you understand something as brutal as is shown was likely necessary to save a life. Could it have been in a different direction? If so it probably would have been as tough to watch.

What this story has brought to me is an understanding I don’t have the capability to be tough enough in such situations. I better understand I need to walk away from such situations for the good of the other person.

Not your typical BL, but it makes you think

This is an extremely interesting movie. Only watch if you are 18+ because there are actual sex scenes in this (No penises or anuses but naked bodies and sexual acts). Not sure if this is enjoyable for female BL fans, as a gay man I enjoyed it tho. While there are numerous sex scenes, the actual underlying theme is really interesting and also well integrated into the whole movie. This movie really caught me by surprise numerous times as the characters. did things differently than what you would expect.

The underlying theme is life and death, and how even if you have lost everything, ending your life is not the answer as it will not bring back anything you lost. I will not explain all of the ways this theme presents itself, it is quite geniusly done in the movie. I highly recommend people to watch this movie if they are comfortable with watching gay 18+ scenes, as the story and theme is fascinating. Before watching I thought this was simply some gay pornographic movie with little story, but I was very wrong about this. If compared with "Pornographer", the Japanese BL movie about an author of erotic books, this movie "Sei no Gekiyaku" is a lot more grounded and everything makes more sense than in Pornographer.

The movie is a lot to process but I am very happy I watched it.

It's impressive

I am not going to lie, this was a harrowing experience which I do not recommend for people that are easily triggered by body violence. But if you can stomach it, let me tell you why this is worth a try.

Let me prephase by saying that if you are one of those people that watch BL just for sexual content this review is not for you, also don't talk to me. THIS IS NOT fun, this is not BL, this is a story of guilt, grief, violence and many other emotions that come with the loss of a loved one.

The plot shows us a protagonist that when about to commit suicide is saved and kidnapped by a man that keeps him chained up and strips him of his freedom, his body autonomy and his (already damaged) mental stability. But the whole point of this literal torture is to awaken the most animalistic part of him, the survival instinct. It's only on situations that threaten our lives and our dignity that we hold on to life.

We are shown the story of our protagonist and the reason behind his suicide attempt which is the death of his parents and the guilt he felt as he thought it to be his fault, and we witness him struggle with himself as he is violated but and presented with chances to die but ends up refusing.
Then, we follow the story of the kidnapper, and we understand his grief and his reasoning for all the atrocities he comitted. We watch him lose the love of his life to suicide, explaining his obsession with convincing his victim to live through any means possible.

The parallels of both stories makes you experience stockholm syndrome along with the main character, who feels sorry for the crazy broken man before him.

It's painful to watch, but that's the point. It's a violent story of insanity and being broken, but wanting something or someone to complete you.

Both men end up saving each other.
They learn to let go.
The story goes from darkness to the light.
From fear and being used to consent and closeness.
From screaming to quiet whispers of reassurance.

Maybe I'm reading way too much into it, but maybe I'm not.

Honestly the image that will haunt me forever is one of the calmest in the movie. An open window with cherry blossom petals falling into cold skin. And comparing memories with a drug that one always carries around waiting for the perfect moment to give into them and die really took a toll on me.

Again, if you're watching this for the sex or the strong images... you'll miss the narrative. So maybe skip this one. But if you can look past that and can stomach it... I can definitely recommend it.

Also the acting is very good as well as the visual and sound resources that add another layer to the story. Thank you.

Did not expect this at all

Watched without reading much except the short summary.

But men that was hardcore.
Sow this only in Mangas never in a movie. Loved the sex scenes as they were not porn per say. With enough exposed sides but hidden parts as well so it was not as nasty. Not a fun of porn at all.
The BDSM was not light but not hard , somewhere in the middle.
This thing about “pleasure changes the mind and body” i think its true. So Makoto getting hooked on pleasure even if he is not into men and in that situation it truly can happen. Specifically in the state of mind and psychy he was then.
The Doc (sorry bad at names didnt remeber his) you can see from a point that he is a little unstable as well - then we know why. He is saying to Makoto its not his fault but truly he is saying to himself.

Now on the overall i was amazed and will watch maybe again later. Also im a sucker for HE even it there is a bad start or angst (prefer none) or sad things. Man i would have really enjoyed if there was more after the Beach House Sex - but as this is more of an Smut BDSM Artistic Movie 😭🤣 then it has to end with
- Are you alive
- Yes i am.

Ps: I was expecting that Makoto will not let him leave and take his live.

this is the definition of wtf

i remember watching this and i was like wtf, i mean from what i remember i was so shook lmao
first if you want to watch this make sure to check the tags, so if you can handle scenes about depression,suicide attempt,sexual assault scenes, Stockholm syndrome,bdsm etc then go on, and the movie is so explicit by the way so make sure you are using your headphones ,im surprised those actors are able to film those scenes so respect because thats wow, im speechless
i want to say the reason why i completed watching this movie is because idk something was intriguing? and i wanted to see how they will end this movie.
and i'am fan of the relationship of the leads? of course not as its toxic asf but i found the movie so interesting anyway, i guess i liked the psychology about it? both leads were struggling and its interesting to know more about them and their backstory.
so the point is this is so hardcore ,if you know you can watch then check it out but if you get triggered about those things then maybe this movie is not for you

Too many trigger warnings to mention!

Sep 2023
I had read various reviews, but a friend with similar viewing tastes to me, said it was actually a really good story... warped and shocking, but excellently done. So, in I stepped.
Along with the captive, Makoto, the viewer is assaulted pretty quickly.
Chained to a gurney and bound, so begins a relentless regime of horrendous sexual abuse, using a variety of sex aids and the captor's own fingers.
Makoto is kept clean, spends a lot of time alone and is quickly allowed to move around enough (though chained by one ankle), to reach a toilet and table containing water and nutrient / vitamin tabs; no food is given.
Beyond the scenes of assault, we learn what lead Katsuragi Makoto to attempting a drunken suicide, from which he is saved by his captor, Yoda Ryoji.
We also learn why Ryoji appears to be numb to the suffering his intolerable levels of abuse cause, for what he sees as a therapy to awaken Makoto's senses and make him want to live.
It surfaces that both are suffering crushing levels of guilt for similar reasons.
Over time, Makoto begins to form a weird but inescapable bond with Ryoji; it's almost like he has become addicted to the intense pleasure he ultimately experiences, even though at the same time, he is visibly disgusted, shamed and hurt physically by it (for obvious reasons ~ he's a straight guy, so it's going to hurt).
As time goes on, however, and the pain diminishes, he seems to lose the shame and humiliation he felt, too. Ryoji tells him that his desire to live is there (basically, suicide should never have been an option ~ he didn't really want to die).
How this ended, I kind of saw coming and wasn't surprised.
Whilst Ryoji sexually assaulted Makoto multiple times, he actually raped him once and that was the culmination of his 'therapy'. He was then left alone and realises it appears he is able to leave.
The ending is poignant and I find that utterly bizarre; yet it is.
I mean, this should be an impossible piece of work to watch. I actually hate scenes of intense bullying and/or where a character is walked all over and too weak to do anything about it. I've dropped dramas like that, which are actually like a kid's programme compared to this.
So I cannot explain why I felt I just had to finish this and, more to the point, could!
Perhaps it's because there isn't any actual cruelty from Ryoji. He is calm throughout, and explains his actions, even though what he's doing is appalling. He never verbally humiliates Makoto and is totally clinical in his attitude. There is no violence with the sexual acts at all; he does not go out of his way to hurt Makoto (in fact there's an instance where he himself was totally vulnerable).
It really is the most visceral, disturbing and yet compelling thing I've ever watched.
It is not simply BDSM porn, that's for sure.
Totally and utterly warped, but it gets away with it. Just.
I could never watch it again though.

Great movie, more intense than expected!

I kinda think this is a porno?! There were crazy intense sex scenes that I did not expect to see in a movie. Surprisingly, I did enjoy every bit of the movie very much and do plan to rewatch (yep!). I decided not to give it a 10 because there were torture/rape/captivity and I'm not too sure if it was necessary for the story, given that he is a "doctor." I just can't comprehend why he would choose "that way" to heal a sick/fragile person. It was a bit much but then I enjoyed the steamy sex scenes that eventually led to love and connection. In other words, sex helped them become each other's saviors. The special part of the story (to me) was that both of them were suicidal and they both needed a distraction and SEX was the answer. According to the story, sexual desires/pleasures would help them forget and move on. I think the ending was beautifully done. They found each other and the reason to live again!
