Who's seen it? I want to discuss with somebody.

I thought it was quite brilliant, ripe with symbolism. Not as disgusted as I thought I would be

fuuu i should read up on art theory or criticism or something. i dont quite understand the last scene. why is the son left out? is it because he was already bathing in the breast milk on kitchen floor? i also dont quite understand why they chose breast milk and visitor q never really did anything to promote the ending of family unity. if the family is an allegory for the japanese family unit in society, i dont quite understand who or what visitor q is i love your link btw

i dunno. everything that happened was so incredulous i couldnt help but imagining that they were all just actors. it wasn't father daughter sex or necrophilia. it was two actors sex. it wasn't poo but brown peanut butter. just a huge disconnect and the only way to process it was to think of it as a metaphor or an allegory

I will re-watch this weekend and try to come up with adequate answers for you. I think though that Visitor Q's purpose was not that he caused any direct change, but that he got each person to stop being self absorbed long enough to see that they needed to change themselves.

I wish I could apply the above to 2girls1cup.
