Yesterday I watched Audition (Ôdishon) which was recommended to me by my brother. What a fucked up movie that was. The movie starts off extremely slow, boring and uneventful. I wanted to turn it off soo many times but I remembered my brother telling me wait till the end so I did. What a fucking end! No way on earth would I have expected anything like that. I wish I could explain what happens but I don’t want to spoil it for anyone. The end of the movie has one of the most graphic scenes I have ever watched, Nataly even covered her eyes and wanted me to mute it because she couldn’t handle it. The movie in short is about this guy who is a widow and is looking for a wife. His best friend suggests they set up a fake movie audition in which he could use it to find a girl he is interested in. The guy finds a girl and falls in love. Other then that I will not say any more.
This is the second movie I’ve watched for Takashi Miike. The first one was Visitor Q (Bizita Q) which was also really weird but not as enjoyable as Audition. Overall I really liked yesterdays movie, I realize now why the intro was so normal and dull, its just to create a huge contrast with the end of the movie.

If you link to it, then people will know what it is about.
I need to get torrent-cuated to start watching these flicks.
Oh man! Another ‘Audition’ victim! Yeah, that is one messed up movie. The phone scene had to be my favourite.
ah cool you watched the movie to. seriously when the movie started didnt u think it was just the most boring thing u ever watched hehe
it took me 2 sittings to watch this bc the beginning is so fucking slow.
I read the description of the movie on the back of the DVD case. The first paragraph made it sound like a bad romantic comeday, the second paragraph freaked me out enough that I had to watch it 🙂
