Damn, censored and awfull quality....not really surprising though, considering this disc was released in japan a couple of years ago and back then you couldn't even show pubic hair on screen over there...i guess i'll stick to my pixelated dvdrip until i find a better one...
I think the movie itself is quite good though, not nearly as thrashy as many people claim. Deodato really shows that he's a brilliant film-maker, i find this kind of realism he managed to pull off creates a quite disturbing atmosphere. How many italian exploitation movies can you name that actually have a kind of "social commentary" like, for example, Romero's films have? He's basically showing all these cruel acts of sadism to portrait the depravity of our species. Compare that to movies like Zombie Holocaust or Make them die slowly, who really just feartured lots of blood and gore to cash-in on the success of films like dawn of the dead or zombie flesh eaters.
Although i have to say, the fact that Deodato had his actors torture and kill real animals shows that he's no better than the characters in his film, and that's just plain unforgivable, no matter how fine a film-maker he is...
(btw, can anyone explain to me what this whole deal with the "pirhana-scene" is all about? i've never heard of that...)
As far as the Guinea Pig films are concerned: i think people who just go about saying those films are sick, or people who watch those films are sick seem to be overlooking one important fact: those film's aren't ment to be entertaining. They are disturbing and unpleasant to watch, and that's the whole point of it. Unlike your regular, "harmless" splatter movie, the gore and violence in Guinea Pig doesn't serve as a sort of "guilty pleasure" for horror-fans, they confront us with our own mortality and the frailty of our bodies. Even though i've been a horror-fan for many years now, i didn't enjoy watching the Guinea Pig movies at all, but they served as an experience witch i will remember for the rest of my entire life. And they made think about how quickly and easily a human life can come to an end, which is somthing that most of would rather not confront themselves with...
