Is this a sequel to Organ? SPOILERS

OK, unfortunately I watched both movies seperate nights very late and I was half asleep during both of them so I am not 100% keen on what the hell I saw (mostly with Organ) but since ID was such a surreal film I will defiently be buying both and giving them a back-to-back viewing. But something I found quite odd, in the middle of the movie we discover that Mr. Murder Machine (or something like that, I'm sorry it was 3 in the morning) was infact the same character we see disappear in Organ as heard by "My, it's been a long time" followed to his scenes in Organ. so did Kei mean for this film to be a sequel to Organ? because somethings don't add up, like her character seems like a different woman without an eyepatch, although by the end of the film her right eye IS patched up. And the fact that the story itself has nothing to do with Organ. man does Kei's films puzzle me (but Im a good way of course). While I was watching ID last night I kept on thinking to myself, wow, this woman is still stuck in the Tetsuo mindframe she so brilliantly played back in 89'. I'm real suprised her and Tsukamoto dont seem to be in contact with eachother still, and it seems she left Kaiyju to start Organ Vital, anyway, back to the point, is this a sequal or not?

i have synaps version of organ and as a special feature there is a 20 minute look at organ 2, and as i see it it was supposed to be a sequel in the beginning.maybe it strayed too much in the making so fujiwara decided to make it stand alone.i have not seen id yet tough,but i will buy it and watch it as fast as i can.kei fujiwara rocks and i hope she makes her third movie soon.:)

Yeah, and hopefully it will have the title TETSUO III.

Fujiwara and Tsukamoto Shinya probably won't ever work together again because they had an affair during Tetsuo: Iron Man that caused what appears to be an irreparable rift. It's unfortunate, but I believe it's true, and what beautiful woman she was back then, wow. Beyond that, she's a cinematic genius of-sorts. I think Organ qualifies as a kind of classic, and she deserves so much more credit as an artist than she gets. There are few films that I watch over-and-over, but Organ is one of them, and I cannot even tell you why, except that it's possibly one of the most profound statements on man's inhumanity to man, a real railing against aspects of the human condition that need to be addressed.

She's a cultural terrorist in the best sense of the term, a real woman warrior of incredible wit and artistic imagination and power. A real woman. I'm fascinated that her films come partly from a Buddhist perspective, but it makes sense, many of their adherents see the world as misery with cycles of birth, mutilation and exploitation by the world and other human beings, and death. That really sums-up her body of work well, I think. She's said as much in interviews.I don't believe this is exactly a sequel (haven't seen it yet), but it sounds like the footage for 'Organ 2' will stand alone as unfinished and that Id is another film entirely, just that she hits the same themes as Organ. A true genius of genuine underground cinema, a Japanese Valerie Solanas with a camera. Let women write and direct horror, and you'll find that it will surpass that of many male creators. That's what's missing in horror right now, in my opinion.
