metaphor of the soul

For Miike 's work, I personally feel that the metaphor used by the director in the film is more important than the content and plot of the story itself, so you should pay more attention when watching such a film! The consistent style is still very weird, dark, and even perverted, but just imagine how boring and boring it would be for a Hollywood production team to perform a story about finding a "big brother" and revenge in the underworld! It has the meaning of digging and deep thinking!
For this movie, the "big brother" coming out of the woman's belly at the end actually implies the resurrection of the soul, because the director also has a foreshadowing in the front, that is, the hero hears the incantation from the woman's belly and the hotel owner is there. The incantation used when summoning the soul is the same. The director boldly conveys and interprets the existence of the soul and the retribution of the world!
As for the sudden disappearance and sudden appearance of the "big brother", the director also has a strange atmosphere in his performance. He used the restaurant The weird crowd and the bloody scenes in the factory come and go. I think this is also the director's genius. Maybe this is the most real world in our lives!

    Well, this kind of film can't be classified, it can only be cult (although the taste is not heavy). I don't know if this film has the logic of the lens language (after watching the skin, I always feel that Miike is such a very logical and serious director). Is it a description of the ethereal feeling of a dream? It's not like ~ Anyway, it's quite imaginative. That bull's head praised, and the old man who plugs his ass is also very fun. Others are fine. The ending is weak.
