why did suichi became what he was?


why was suichi in a "tangled" mess? if you know what i mean, did he acquire his vortex fascination from his father?

reply

If you read the manga version, you'll know that it is another townfolk who became the entangled monster, not Shuichi. Nevertheless, Shuichi became that monster because like everybody else, he has been 'possessed' by the vortex energy in the town.

Eventually everyone will be affected terribly by the vortex energy.

oh ok, nope didnt read the manga version (and the other ones). thanks, now i got it, kewl, thats why suichi asked that girl to run away with him... interesting

Problem:

They cut 90% of the manga out when making the movie....

so a lot is unexplained. To complicate things, major characters were removed and major plotlines left open, like why the girl with the hair is all tangled up and dead.

eh. movie was entertaining but felt rushed at the end.

if you want to understand the vortex you must read uzumaki.

Sure the girl with the big hair is dead because her hair tangled itself round some power wires? That's what seems to be the case in the image it shows.

reply

Actually I was thinking that the reason she was dead was because her hair had wrapped itself around a telephone pole and she could not go anywhere, so she leaned against the pole and starved to death.

Nah, the constant hair growth drained all the energy from her body. That's what "officially" happened.

Even though there really was a lot more stuff going on in the manga, it didn't really provide a more indepth explanation than the movie. Even if you've read the thing, you still don't know what the actual purpose of the whole thing was and who created it.

Major characters and plotlines? Such as? The manga was nothing but a collection of short stories, rather loosely connected by the premise of a town going insane. I don't recall any subplots or relevant plotpoints that didn't make it into the movie. I'm actually glad they've left all the "Tornado Rider" crap out.

AND WHAT IS THIS VORTEX ENERGY U TALK ABOUT? WHERE DOES IT COME FROM? WHAT THE HELL DOES SHE WANT? NOTHING MAKE SENSE IN THIS MOVIE.

Quiet.


The vortex energy comes from the spiral. Your mind cant accept the concept so why should I bother explaining it to you? Go watch Megamind, you man, you.
