Sei no Gekiyaku (2020)

I'm dumbfounded

Seriously..... What a movie!! Way beyond my expectations..... To be honest I wasn't expecting it to be this great..... The movie is a bit hardcore but it teaches you Stuff about life, love and loss...... How the unimaginable can drive your will to live..... Infuse a life force.....
The movie for me stood between despair and amazement and went on to ignite hope.....
The chemistry between the two actors was awesome..... The acting pulled me in..... I wish they could convert it into a series.... Coz I was left wanting for more...... The music had an eerie, haunting vibe to it..... Especially the whistle tune.....
It's a 9/10 for me.....

i feel like the movie was good confusing made me feel like wtf am i watching
the actors did really well but i feel like it needs a pt2 on explaining properly or in depth why he kiddnaped him and decided to use him as a toy and r@pe him why he kept him in the basement of the hospital and to show how their new relashionship will progress
the whole movie is a what the fuck it kinda scared me the actors did so well thats its one of thoes that you hat the actor like they are the charecter they embraced their roles

i do hope for a movie 2 the start was confusing until the full movie pieces fit together but a second movie would finish it all

very strange movie!

Honestly, this was a very strange movie - it is extremely hardcore and tackles some very sensitive material - very stockholm syndrome-y. However, the relationship displayed and how it develops was portrayed very well as well as showing the effect of losing people and how meaningful life is.

The actors were also very good - to make a movie this explicit their acting was phenomenal - i know i couldn't do this.

However, this movie is very much rated R, so if you're not of legal age DO NOT WATCH - usually i would ignore ratings (not that i need to anymore lol i'm old :(( ) but this is one movie where i believe you really need to listen to it. -

à ne pas mettre devant tous les yeux mais a tellement à raconter

Attention, cet avis contiendras sûrement de légers SPOILS, même si j'essaye d'en dévoiler le moins possible.

On a ici la rencontre entre deux âmes perdues, déchirées en morceaux en les personnes (ou plutôt les personnages) de Katsuragi Makoto et Katsuragi Makoto. L'un comme l'autre ont subi une perte qui a chamboulé leur vie à les rendre désespérés au point de vouloir en finir, presque fous de survivre là où d'autres n'ont pas continué à vivre.

On découvre des bribes de leurs vies passées entre chaque épisode sexuel. Jojo Hideo utilise des contrastes à couper au couteau pour montrer les transitions entre le passé au couleurs vives et chaudes et le présent froid et insalubre.

Les scènes sont crues et aucune musique ne va essayer de vous faire croire que nous sommes dans une romance. Il n'ya pas de fondu, ni de censure pour créer l'atmosphère odieuse que voulait le réalisateur/scénariste du film.

Les acteurs sont époustouflants dans leurs rôles, Kitadai Takashi plante un Yoda Ryoji froid et moqueur alors qu'il viole sa victime, il nous démontre ici l'étendue de sa capacité de jeu. Tout comme Watanabe Sho qui utilise la même énergie dans son rôle de victime, son jeu est tout aussi puissant.

Le film n'est jamais ennuyeux et le rythme est consommé, il ne nous montre aucune scène inutile, chacune est nécessaire pour nous montrer l'évolution de l'intimité que partagent les deux hommes. Au bout d'un moment, quand Katsuragi Makoto commence à rendre les armes, les flashbacks prennent pour point central le passé de Katsuragi Makoto et on commence à comprendre l'objectif qu'il n'avait expliqué qu'à demi-mot : il veut sauver une vie.

À la fin, toutes les questions ont trouvé une réponse et on peut se rendre compte que le scénario de Hideo est vraiment abouti en tout point, il nous démontre que, comme l'avait annoncé le titre, le sexe peut être une drogue, une drogue qui rend accro à la vie.

Pour faire le bilan, je dirai qu'il ne faut pas s'arrêter aux images qui peuvent paraître choquantes de prime abord, elles ne sont pas là "juste" pour choquer, bien au contraire. Et il ne faut pas voir non plus ce film comme une romance de viol hard avec un syndrome de Stockholm, ce serait bien trop réducteur. Le propos pose question et porteur d’intérêt, ça vaut le coup de s'y intéresser à mon sens.

Maintenant, à vous de vous faire votre avis.

That was some kind of ride puhhh

By god I wasn't prepared for this. Like all the reviews here say things along the line of "Really major, nothing for light hearted persons" but boy oh boy I can't describe what just happened.
Don't get me wrong I liked this very much! For the first 40 Minutes I stopped every 10 seconds to either ask myself "what the-" or to say "thats veerrryyy weird" but once I excepted what was going on I only stopped at really sexual scenes. And there are MANY of those. All of them well done.
I am a watcher who always thinks about the actors and oh my god. Everything looked so real and there was literally no room to hide things, that I still question if the actors are "normal" actors or not.
But anygays here is another warning like the other on here.
❗DO NOT WATCH THIS IF YOU ARE A FLUFFY PERSON❗
!¡ And if you're going to watch it, do it with headphones and alone. I am not kidding, like I lived in fear for 90 minutes because I still live with my parents¡!

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.
