I despised Hoshino and his crew for this. The thing that has been bothering me is that I feel the telling people to rape, the people actually raping, and the filming of the raping of Kuno to be on a different level of fucked up. I think it worked for the numerous beatings, forced public masturbation, blackmailed prostitution, forced naked mud swimming, etc. I get that the movie was about these fucked-up youths who all managed to keep their head above the water through the music of Lily Chou-Chou, and I think it did pull those things off. I tried doing a bit of research after finishing the film, and I'm starting to feel like maybe I am the only one who feels this way. That being said, I'm really struggling with the tone of the movie by the end. I found the cinematography to be stunning, I loved the music and the way it was used in conjunction with the plot, and I enjoyed the use of superimposing text on the screen for the website everyone was using. Let me get the positives out of the way quickly.
