  • this movie is simply amazing.

  • Go watch Noriko's Dinner Table

  • .@ForeverTomie . Would love to but it's unavailable in the Uk. Though I've seen Suicide Club. And have Cold Fish and Guilty of Romance on blu ray

  • @Raider577 Agh, that's unfortunate :(

  • Pause at exactly 0:56

  • @dumaka ummm...panty shots are a big part of the film. you're gonna be seeing that a lot.

  • all this music i'm so familiar with!

  • This is an incredible movie, any cinema fan should have seen it. 4 hours but no pause in it, no indulgency. Matters as love, identity, knowledge, truth, redemption are mixed in a brilliant and yet coherent final vision. I'd love to know the authors of classical music involved (apart from Bee VII.2), but they are in jap characters at the end of the movie and also on the site of the movie. Can anyone help?

  • @Busillis67 There are two other classical pieces in this brilliant masterpiece, the Bolero by ravel, and the other is unknown name and unknown artist as far as I could tell for looking it up >_>

  • @crunchkinsbigsister thanks very much, of course Ravel's Bolero was already recognized; I refer to the other 'similar-to-baroque' (often used in church or religious scenes) and 'classical' music pieces. Can you read the credits in japanese?

    Thanks very much the same

  • I saw this last night. Its a good movie, but goddammit.. Four hours is a long time for any movie. I'd have thought the whole thing could've been trimmed down to about two. But as I said, its a good watch just long.

  • @AkarusaYami The first version was 6hrs, 2 were already trimmed, I think 2 more would be going too far, it;d be waaay too fast paced and leave out details!

  • THIS IS SO WIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD I WANNA WATCH IT LOL

  • Beethoven"s 7th symphony mvt 2?, i am fucking in!!!!!! 

  • from that trailer alone, the person whose true story this film was based upon must be reeeaaallllyy messed up in the head o_O

  • Heeheeheeheehayhayhay!

  • best asian film ever

  • I actually cried when he was in mental hospital and said call me any time :'( made me sad and my sis cried I'm 13 and I thought it was great :D

  • @Nemasis2786 If you're 13 why are you watching this film. It's meant for 18 and over.

  • @Raider577 Cause I'm cool like that XD

  • @Raider577 Wait I just realised, who the fuck are you judging me on what age I watch a movie JEEZ

  • @Nemasis2786 I'm not judging you. The people who made the film are that's why it's 18.

    You'll probably find that 98% of 13 year olds in Britain don't watch films 18 and over. The ones who do usually end up nowhere in life.

  • @Raider577 Wow you really don't know much do you. WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN "98%" Do you know anything about England, most of the people "MY" age watch stuff like Paranormal activity or the Saw movie's. I don't know where you are from, neither do I care, but you seriously need to get your facts straight -_-

  • @Nemasis2786 Well I'm over 30 and born and raised in London England so I guess I have an idea about England probably more than you. Perhaps most of the 13 year olds you hang out with do and their parents don't care that their children watch torture, rape, incest, murder, and hardcore sex. Young relatives of mine(under 15) and their friends don't watch this stuff and stick to Harry Potter and similar films.

  • @Raider577 I didn't want to know you're life story -_-

  • @Raider577 It doesn't matter how old you are, it matters how mature you are. If a 13 year old or any minor is mature enough to understand and handle taboo subjects, then I doubt viewing them will somehow negatively impact their life. Similarly, many people over 18 may very well be too immature and unable to handle stuff like that than some more mature minors.

  • @turquoiseguy How many 13 years old are mature enough to understand many of the topics on this film. I doubt any of them are. That's why you get school children in the inner cities of the UK involved in rape and  other unsavoury activities.

  • @Raider577 Honestly, I don't know how bad this film is, I haven't seen it yet. I am 15 and have watched some of Sion Sono's other films and similar movies and I understand them. I highly doubt that the taboo subject matter of a film would incline someone to do those bad things in it. There are likely many other more prominent factors that contribute to that. I agree that most people that young will be too immature to watch some movies like this, but you can't generalize them all based on that.

  • @turquoiseguy Alright perhaps you are right. I have the DVD and the film on my harddrive and the subject matter is not really suitable for under 16's. Even the main actors who are acting school children are actually 21 and 23 in real life.

  • @Raider577 I was mature enough to understand all the topics of this film when I was 13 >_> (i was 13 when i first watched it, or maybe 12 :/ )

  • @crunchkinsbigsister What a coincidence I was just watching some of Love Exposure while printing some documents before seeing your comment. Well maybe you were mature but I don't think it is a good idea for anyone under 16 to see these topics in a film. By the way the full 6 hour version would have been better than the edited 4 hour version.

  • @Raider577 I suppose thats somewhat true, many kids under 16 watch many things that are as "inappropriate" as love exposure, but those tend to be for comedy, whereas love exposure is more deep and serious, many under 16 would probably just laugh at parts that are not to be laughed at, thus yes, they are not mature enough (yet many immature adults would have the same reaction). I know!! I really wish he hadn't cut out 2hrs of it, but the 6hr version is nowhere to be found :'(

  • @crunchkinsbigsister  I asked the British distribution company Third Window films and they said the Japanese Film company won't allow the film to be put on blu ray for some reason. Sion Sono the director was also told by the Japanese Film company to edit the film to 4 hours.

  • @Raider577 Ohh, that explains a lot

  • @Nemasis2786 Twat.

  • @guthixguy27 I like how you insulted me with a word that was used by most EDL'S very smart

  • @Raider577 I am alot older than 13 and when I was 6 99% of my friends were allowed to watch 18s.......

  • @AlastairJack5 That says a lot about what type of parents they have.

  • @Raider577 that awkward moment when you see some random 13 year old feeding a troll... hahahahah XD

  • THIS IS THE SHITTEST FILM EVER! first part of the dvd brilliant funny as fuck. Good at the start where it was quite serious and then became weirdly funny but then it just dragged on! Later it just got really serious and it just wasn't funny! Became very emotional about being a pervert like it's a good thing and shit and i'm thinking WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS FUCKING SHIT!

  • @Fifthmuskateer It's not supposed to be funny throughout. It's supposed to be serious, dramatic, shocking and partly romantic in a strange way as well. Many innovative Korean and Japanese films are like this. It's better than many American films I have seen.

  • @Raider577 ...Sorry but I couldn't find the seriousness of this whole film! Yeah the whole concept may be completely backwards. Fucked up Christians, up skirt picture taking, Miss Scorpion in a mental hospital ect... But I guess I don't really have an answer except this film was completely shit.... Sorry!

  • @Raider577 When you watch this trailer you think it's going to be a comedy ect.. But it isn't only a long winded serious film. When you watch something like American Psycho trailer you think it's going to be a completely serious film but in fact it's probably the most funniest black comedy's i've seen ever.

  • @Raider577 Ok. People I know also think it's crap. It's all down to personal taste.

  • @Fifthmuskateer *sigh* I efel that you don't understand or appreciate the japanese culture in this film :'(

  • @crunchkinsbigsister I don't want to appreciate this shit! Funny at first but drags on about shit plus I perfectly understand Japanese culture. Just don't fucking like some of it like cosplay! Just because I don't like a few things doesn't mean jack shit!

  • whats the song at 1:20

  • I WANNA SEE THIS!!! AHHH!!!

  • @The4thGuy It's epic, download it!

  • Yup! My e-rage is out of control!!!

  • I WATCHED THIS ON FILM4 LIKE THIS IF YOU DID TOO!

  • @KiraProductionz I only watched the 2 hour and the last hour unfortunitaly i fell asleep but i was enjoying it do you know if they are going to air it again or is there i site were i could watch it online or something?

  • @FLCLeureka7 Thanks ^-^

  • The most inspiring film that i've ever watched

  • †he end part ruined the film, you know ... the boner part - it was supposed to be a sad love film - that was fucked up.

  • @TheAnimatorEqualizer way to ruin it for me jerk!

  • @unosturgis You mad bro?

  • @TheAnimatorEqualizer lol a lil bit

  • This movie make me laugh, angryy, cry and fall in love with yokoo ;D

    Greatt moviee (Y)

  • I watched this film last night for the first time, and i absolutely loved it. yoko is georgous!

  • Comment removed

  • lol i watched this on Film4 last night and all i have to say is wtf haha. Go Miss Scorpion!

  • Great film!

  • Fucking supercool fun hot amazing creative modern sexy movie!

  • YOKU is so HOT :)

  • Oh is it really that good?

  • @Chimmychii YES

  • Best film that i see in my life... 6 months, and i still remembered...

  • everyone saying it looks good is being sarcastic right? this looks the most ridiculous movie ever made

  • @SeenItAll94 Yes you are also right, it is a ridiculous film. But people are not being sarcastic. It is actually a good film and ive watched it and i believe its the best film ive ever seen. And that means its better than Lord of Rings !!

  • @SeenItAll94 Not at all, it's a magnificent film and it's not ridiculous!! It's a serious deep film with some comedy, and well perversion, but it's japanese so that fits with everything else

  • Looks amazing!

  • THE BEST MOVIE EVERRRRRRRR

  • is it realllly 237 minutes?!?!?!?

  • @slattikarma Yes

  • @slattikarma yes..it really is

  • @slattikarma Yeah. 4 hours. Fucking long movie.

    Still awesome.

  • @slattikarma YES, but it doesn't feel long while watching ;) it's really fast paced, it was originally 6hrs

  • Just watched Cold FIsh. Imma watch it next. ^^

  • @alalchemical Where did you find Cold Fish to watch??

  • What is this I dont even

  • I hate to think what true events this film was based on :(

  • Why is this now considered part of Sono's "Hate" trilogy with Cold Fish and Guilty of Romance?  The film covers a range of emotions but it's overall a feel good kind of movie.

  • Seen this film, its fucking amazing :D

  • This trailer really doesn't do the film justice. *not hating the trailer, you just HAVE to watch the film* As soon as i was this film, it INSTANTLY became a favourite. I didn't think i'd be able to watch a film this long...but my god...i was hooked the whole time...and i didn't want it to end XD

  • WHAT HAVE I DONE!! I MISSED WATCHING IT ON FIRDAY!!

    HOW COULD I have thought sleep was more important than this!? Dx

  • @Esty2326 idk, there must be something very wrong with you!

  • i think most people watched this last night on film4 =] i only got through half way though......but i loved the first half so much that i bought the dvd today and the rest was just as good!! amazing stuff xxx

  • @ShpadoinkleGirl5 I've got the DVD as well. The picture quality is not that good. As compared to the the HD version on Film 4 HD. Especially when no BLu-Ray version in the UK is available.

  • Watched it last night, fucking amazing

  • watched it last night on film four. was amazing. i proper got dragged into it. and yoko is gorgeous :)

  • Agree, was awesome, I think I only managed to stay up untill about 2:40 though, still have an hour or so left, need to watch the rest badly!

  • i watched it in film 4 nd it made me shit my pants cuz it was too good 

  • @TheCodsta67 I watched it last night too and its just left me numb!

  • i just watched it nd it made me shit my pants, such a good film

  • just got recommended to watch this, trailer looks awesome, especially the picture taking :D

  • i'm watching it now, missed 30mins tho, still worth watching it? D;

  • @KpopJT film4?

  • @KpopJT it will still be great, but at the same time it is a very fast paced movie so that is missing a lot of importsnt stuff ;)

  • Omg so awesome for everyone who lives in ENGLAND it gonne be on film4 on friday!!

  • @vocaloid4ever I knooooow! I can't wait for it todaaay! :D

  • @MrMizanMiah i watched it on flim4 too!!! i just woke up now cause the flim was too long!!!!! and it was amazing!!!!!!

  • @nogpower Aaaahh! I only got up to 1:40 in the morning, I regret it now because I want to watch it all. TT.TT

    If it wasn't for the adverts then I probably would watch it right to the very end! :O

  • @vocaloid4ever thinking about watching it in 20 mins... is this really worth watching? looks so bizarre...

  • @vocaloid4ever

    AIIIIIII Watched It!!!!!! AMAZING!! Oh

  • This movie is fucking overrated and sucks as hell lots,dont get me wrong i'd watched my fair share of Koran,Japs,Thai,Mainland and many other asian movies,but this movie...is just fucking weirdness to the max,its like u cant even predict what the film is going on,and is fucking overrated.totally waste my time,fuck u japs and ur weirdness

  • @YeoSuanMei geeze, dont be so rough on it, this movie is stupendous, if i think about it and what happens and what its about then it seems like a bad movie to me, but I love this movie, and most other people that watch this movie just tend to love it too, its not overrated, you are just underrating it.

  • @crunchkinsbigsister It is a good a film but to much empahsis is placed on the purile sex aspect of the film.

    Near the end when Yu was in a mental ward the film was on a high. As soon he has seen Yuko and he get an erection. It's like a bad sex comedy.

  • @Raider577 i suppose thats true, even though there is not sex in it, but thinking about it that way makes me like the movie less, thus i will continue thinking about it in my innocent-like manor.

  • @crunchkinsbigsister I think some of the sex scenes were deleted.One of the sex scenes has

    Koike the female cult leader of church zero watching.

    How can Church Zero actually afford such a big headquarters anyway and why would they let Yoko walk around town in a daze unaccompanied (just before Yu's friends took her the van)

  • @Raider577 people like to donate to them i guess....maybe members of the zero church donate lots. They probably figured Yoko wasn't in any danger of being un-hypnotized as she was a high level at the church. There was also a sex scene that was cut out on the beach, i htnk it was of Yu's father and Yoko's "mother"

  • @crunchkinsbigsister The sex scenes with Koike are on the undeleted scene clip on You Tube.

    Also when Koike( church zero girl) joins the school anyone can see she is over 20 the actress Sakura Ando was 22 or 23 at the time and looks it. How could she get away joining a class of 15 or 16 year olds. I have the DVD at home(though only watched the film on TV) The Dvd has an hour long making of the film which should be interesting.

  • @Raider577 The other sex scene was one that Sion Sono mentioned on an interview about Love exposure. You never know, she could have looked 16 (not the actor, but the character) I know people that looked like they were 40 when they were 16, and in older american movies about highschoolers they often used actors that were clearly in their thirtys ;)

  • @crunchkinsbigsister I suppose so.

  • @phallus41 crap basically.

  • This film looks amazing. I have to see it.

  • lolwut?

  • This film reminds me of something. Volcano High? Getting Any?? Arahan? Those offbeat films, not just from Japan, but China and Korea. My Sassy Girl im trying to find, i saw it being advertised long time ago, and now all i can see is a Hollywood remake *roll eyes*. Love this film from the trailer, the humour is just right! Anyone seen that Korean film that came out recently, it was called Mother. I think there was humour in that film but it was dark too! I just saw 13 Assassins, that was very gud

  • @icomeup2urKnees The Korean film My Sassy Girl has already been made by Hollywood(flopped) also been made by Japan and India .

    I've seen 'Mother' the actor Bin Won is also in 'The man from Nowhere. I just need to watch this film' Love Exposure' which I bought about a month ago but haven't watched yet. It is the same director as'Exte' which I didn't think was that good.

  • @niddasa

    Errr, no. Why don't you do a search for Japanese films?

  • ummmm idk maybe when im 25 i'll watch this i feel like the trailer alone should be PG17 or something...... there might b a good story under it all from other pplz comments here

  • @nobuta10 well, i am 14, and i hate inapropriate perverted stuff, but i love this movie much anyway, and it would be "pg 17 or something" i could list the bad/inapropriate parts, but that may be a bit of a spoiler.

  • @crunchkinsbigsister If you're 14 you shouldn't be watching this film anyway. Especially if you're a boy

  • @Raider577 i think its fine for a 14yr old, even if they are a boy, so long as you don't see about 4 specific scenes...although most 14yr old boys watch things much worse all the time anyway...

  • Masterpiece!!!

    

  • I was debating whether to buy this film or not,then saw him do a cartwheel and i was like SOLD! XD

  • hahaha i love this one!! i'm definitely gonna watch this=)

  • Busca tu Virgen Maria.

  • this seems to be a good movie. although, i don't really get the plot. i mean, i dont understand why he needs to sin. being a christian is to be Christ like, which means be upright as you can and avoid doings sins. anyways, i'll watch it :D

  • @crossedfaked to satisfy his dad. His dad commits a sin and gets burnt. The father's view on the world changes and he assumes that everyone sin. The father's attitude changes and the son commites sin to get a reaction from his father.

  • This movie was AWESOME!!! Best 3hr movie EVER!!!! Hikari Mitsushima (Yoko) is freakin Gorgeous!!!
