Saw this pretty awesome movie the other day called Suicide Club, I believe the original Japanese name of the film is Suicide Circle but I guess they figured that wouldn't translate as well into English or for American consumption or something like that. I hate how they do that, they always take some pretty awesome, oblique, and abstract foreign title and change it into some generic American movie title. Anyway, one of my pet peeves, get's on my nerves. I find it condescending. I'm not going to get into a review or an overview of the film's merits except just to say that it is generally awesome.
This scene here stands out to me as just so completely weird I was taken aback the minute it showed up in the movie. I immediately paused the film and started looking for it on youtube. Sure enough, here it is. It has all these great elements, weird feminine japanese rock star/crime lord (and really, what's not awesome about that?) a simulated rape scene in some big sock, the weird fucked up expression of the guy who pops out at the end (I'm sure there's some symbolic meaning behind that whole scene that could be arrived at through further analysis, it seems contextually rich now that I think about it) and this really great morbid rock song scoring the whole thing, is pretty great.
