why does she flash at nothing?


maybe i missed it but why did "that girl" flash apparently no one. who was she flashing...and why?

reply

Best I could tell she changed her blouse/shirt. Why she would do that I don't know.

reply

Yeah, she wasn't flashing, she was just changing outfits.

BTW, "that girl" is Chiaki Kuriyama a.k.a. Kill Bill's Gogo Yubari

why does anyone do anything in this movie?

reply

lol changing outfits makes much more sense than flashing at nothing.

nothing wrong with a quick...pointless costume change is there? if only Miike would have lowered the camera just a liiiittle bit, then there would have been a point heh.

I agree, but this is a children's film! That would've made this film no longer suitable for children!

Yeah 'cause no kid has ever seen a breast before (particularly now in the internet age; not like breasts are just a quick Google search away for any kid with a computer or anything). Good thing too, the sight would cause their eyeballs to melt out or something, i'm sure.

Tell me you're just taking the piss.

This is Miike's humor shining through. He knows that every male above the age of 13 who is watching this movie is dying for a "peek" so he torments us by having her rip open her shirt just when it cuts away to a less revealing shot. It is his way of saying yeah, I know what you want to see. ...suckers. And THAT is funny!

reply

Yeah I have to admit I was dying to see what was behind that blouse :)

She changes throughout the film, but we see her do it, as she runs back to Kato, I think it is to slightly sexualize it and intensify her feelings for Kato, so that his betrayal is all the more intense.
