Sei no Gekiyaku (2020)

Violación y sexo no consentido

Esta película japonesa +18 basada en el manga del mismo nombre es muy dura, hay escenas explícitas y violentas de sexo no consentido y BSDM a "full", por tanto, si estás acostumbrado a "cute" BL como Kieta Hatsukoi, Cherry Magic o las miniseries BL coreanas vas a quedar bastante descompuesto. Aún así y con el corazón encogido por el pobre protagonista, indignada por el no consentimiento y el abuso, y con necesidad de darle al "stop" en algunos momentos que eran demasiado para mi, la he visto hasta el final y creo que es una película muy bien hecha y muy bien actuada. Los protagonistas hacen creible esta increible historia y esos, a mi entender , inverosímiles personajes!
El debate está servido entonces,:debemos valorar bajo la película porque relativiza en cierta manera la violación y hace apología del sexo violento? Cierto que la mayoriá estaremos de acuerdo que no se deben consentir para nada estas actitudes y se debe condenar y penalizar duramente cualquier tipo de abuso y de no consentimiento!!! Pero en este caso y con todas las advertencias posibles debo valorar también unas actuaciones sobresalientes y hasta sobrecogedoras de la pareja protagonista. Están los dos fantásticos. Mención aparte la escenografía , la fotografía, la música que consiguen adentrar al espectador en ese mundo oscuro y asfixiante y nos transmiten todos esos sentimientos de los protagonistas con brutal claridad.
Es curioso como una película tan oscura y desgarradora tiene un mensaje muy claro de amor a la vida: tu vida es valiosa, es hermosa, ámala, apasiónate por tu vida aunque duela, la muerte, el suicidio no es una opción. El mensaje es muy bonito, lástima que la terapia con la que se aplica este "amor a la vida" es completamente denigrante e inaceptable!!
No desvelaré el final, que es visualmente y estéticamente lo más luminoso y claro de este film. Sólo decir que roza el género fantástico porque en la vida real NO DEBERÍA SER POSIBLE!

NEVER AN OPTION

I have to say that I didn’t liked this title because, I know that there are so many things that they bring in this, but the super Stockholm syndrome is too much for me. He says he was trying to make him want to live but, hey, that’s not the way to do so. It was so so violent and sometimes (always) too much. I also have to say that I liked the final, like the very end, the two last scenes, if you forget everything that happened before, it is a beautiful scene if you focus on it. So yeah, the acting was awesome, they did so well and the production is also good, but it doesn’t compensate the rest. So yeah, i give it a 2.5 because I liked the last 2 scenes and the 0.5 for the acting itself.

Romanticizing abuse in relationships..

Okay so first of all, this movie is veryyyyy graphic. In terms of sexual content and abuse. I spent half of my time pausing this movie because of the very very nauseating scenes. I may sound extra, but as all the other reviews say this movie includes rape.

What I don’t like about this film is the fact that it leads the victim back to his abuser and accepts him back to whatever you call a toxic relationship. I feel like stories like these just make out the victim to be clueless and “ask for it”. Like the amount of trauma this character had been through. Like the first chapter of the story was already upsetting, but the next one is a whole different story.

The only thing I could pick from this was, “there’s not much left until you experience the reality of life.” In the sense of this whole movie and manga included, that this movie is essentially about life and death.

One character wants to die but cannot bring himself to die. While the other character just wants to die. There’s nothing more to it. The overall story was compelling and it was very intimidating. I guess it would somehow make you think in the end.

But this also all roots down to consent and what to bring in a relationship. What the second main lead had, to him it was something special, and because he never had that closure of his other partner passing, he chose to “save” the first main lead. And sort of keep him away from him doing anything to himself. And I think because he chose to set him “free” in the end was because he knew he’d come back.

“Dangerous drugs of sex” has nothing to do with sec other then the dynamics of a toxic relationship with an abuser and a victim that has been affected by Stockholm syndrome. Because no one in a sane mind would willingly go back to such a person.

But regardless I think everything else was good. The acting was good, the music, etc.

I just would’ve liked a much less predictable and graphic story.

Not for anyone who has suffered trauma in their life

When I first watched this movie I was drawn to it by one of the commenters the music was pretty good. I was confused about the young man and what he was being kidnapped tortured and into the bondage thing. But the movie shows about the ghost of the kidnapper and the young man who was being tortured past. Throughout the whole movie they learn to confront their demons. The kidnapper is trying to show the young man how to live his life through pain and pleasure. The more pain and pleasure he feels the more alive he feels. And the more pain he feels that's when his survivor instinct kicks in. The young man suffers a severe loss and everything in his life spirals out of control. Even though the kidnappers job is to save people's lives he was having a hard time living his after suffering a similar loss. Finally when the young man goes free and knows the truth. He finally wants to live in a set free. And in the process he helps the kidnapper get free of his demons as well. He was held prisoner for how long how many days was conditioned. I mean in the end he ends up helping the kidnapper. I was thinking he was suffering from Stockholm syndrome. Could be but you can tell by his expression and the way he communicates with his kidnapper who said him free that the young man is actually free. I know the torture and bondage and rape scenes were pretty intense. But that's because the actors did a really good job and the music helped to. But I was really enjoyed the ending. Because they really helped each other. And I have rewatched this like three times already cuz I really enjoyed it. And it actually looks like they're having sex it is. It is a very good psychological thriller the acting is very good because the torture scenes look so real. After the second time over watching yet I kept thinking I couldn't imagine doing that in front of the cameras how many takes hesitant to do that. Because it looks like it's actually like soft p***. This is not for the fate of heart I give it a 9 out of 10.

Side eye...

So the only real issue I have with this movie really is the implications of it. The older I get, the more irritated I become with media having irresponsible messaging and this could totally be me having missed something or not understanding.

There is NO consequence for Yoda's actions. None. He kidnapped, tortured, violated and repeatedly raped katsuguri and NOTHING happened to him. In fact, the story is told in such a way that you're supposed to PITY him and feel bad!!

Let's be clear, there is NO excuse for what Yoda did and I don't care what state katsuguri was in. My problem is that the story implies that this behavior is fine if you have enough trauma and you choose "the right" target which is insane.

Overall the movie itself was fine but the undertone is absolutely terrible.
