Whykay's happenings

I finally watched...

.. Ichi the Killer. I had always wondered how gruesome it would be, to be honest, I was not all that shocked! I even found some parts funny, that's because there's dark humour dotted all around the movie. I think most people would find it disturbing and sickening to watch. But it's only a film, and curiosity of disturbing Japanese films has always stirred an interest in me. I don't like gruesome things, but it's all fake. It's not horror, I hate ghost or monster films. Maybe I have the taste for it after watching Battle Royale. Which incidently I asked Mick (my then boyfriend, now hubby) to buy it for me in HMV as a Valentine's Day present! My excuse, there's romance in it, teenage couples and the colour red... lots of red. Heehee. Main thing is, that is not reality, and should never, ever be a reality. It's just an over-imaginative mind, and pure fantasies of whoever thought it all up for novels, mangas, animés and films.
