How to evaluate the mermaid of sewer?

(there is disgusting picture in the article) " the mermaid of sewer " , of world-class ban piece, the person that truly courage looks is not much.

This film, film 1988, had issued with the form of the video tape merely, the world that be called 10 ban greatly piece one of, also be the Japanese horror that is familiar with by people place most piece one of.

Why to become ban piece? Because bloody cannot have described it, want to seek the word of a word, can use only " disgusting " .

Say " the mermaid of sewer " before, must want to know, it is not an independent film, belong to however famous " Guinea pig series " one of.

"Guinea pig series " altogether work of 10 short story, among them 6 are positive, 3 are to spend garrulous extract to close market, one has not named with Guinea pig series, but also be short of a Guinea pig essentially.

Below interpret the content that interprets positive of this the six ministries in feudal China simply, let everybody understand roughly.

The first " diabolical experiment " , filmed 1985.

This short is " Guinea pig series " of cut into a mountain make, laid the foundation of whole set.

" diabolical experiment " be to use bogus newsreel form to film, look for the trace that is less than later period treatment, also did not perform employee watch. Content alleges this is true filmed video tape, revealed 3 men to dog, staking one female, hand-in-hand travel vision, hearing, taste, smell, touch in all 10 kinds of brutal torment, a string of 1 the victim that be about to die finally in the thing in a string bag of field of desolate place outside of town.

This film films special true, include a few more Euramerican see be used to B class piece enthusiastic element, suspect this film is not to deduce, however the thing that true happening.

Because content is very cruel, bloody, it is at a draught whole " Guinea pig series " opened the market.

The 2nd " the flower of flesh and blood " , issue likewise 1985.

As the 2nd film of whole set, also should be work of summit of a summit. " the flower of flesh and blood " acceded of bogus newsreel film means, allege content is true homicide kinescope.

Piece medium homicide course is true to the eye that lets a person dare not believe his, so that have,call the police, alarmed the thing of FBI.

This film breaks up human body bloodily, after also was being become Japanese B class piece an example, a lot of similar work later have imitate to it.

The 3rd " he won't be dead " , the work 1986.

Because of before two make a great coup, "Guinea pig series " also begin to try to mix a few the plot of a play. This piece those who tell about is young employee of a company, no matter be cut a few to won't die,discover oneself accidentally, begin to changing then of pattern cruelly kill oneself, remain one build to be put on the table only finally.

Objective for, before mixing, make quite, this a work that grows 39 minutes, already deflection is changed at recreation, authenticity sells at a discount greatly.

The 4th work is " the mermaid of sewer " .

This work is put to be in " series of new Guinea pig " under, be told about from integral style, story and publish conduct propaganda for, belong to upgrade of version.

This work a little while specific for.

The 5th work is " goddess robot " , the six ministries in feudal China is " evil hag doctor " .

Amusement of these two work is stronger, emphasized gut. But compare with the work look in front, lost apparently " Guinea pig series " characteristic, reduce general bloody recreation piece, level is broken greatly.


Say for " the mermaid of sewer " , this work is whole " Guinea pig series " in be thought to have the work of connotation most. Complete piece told about the painter with a depressed spirit to go sewer seeks inspiration, discovered a mermaid accidentally. The abdomen of this mermaid because canker of some kind of reason, the painter comes home mermaid belt raise was in in bath crock.

Mermaid refused the painter's treatment, ask the painter makes a picture for oneself only. In the process that makes a picture, the blain on mermaid body rots sore begins to diffuse her whole body, became to make a person disgusting till her " an eccentric person " .

Wait after merman is gone, the painter finished a picture to make, and dismemberment merman...

Anyhow, but from content for, absolutely disgusting, do not try a search to watch please.

So, how to evaluate this work?

We want to know above all, whole " Guinea pig series " appear, was to get Euramerican B class piece influence, belong to the work that Japanese mainland turns. What this kind of work goes after is bloody with force, pass low cost film, attract specific audience with provocative appearance group.

But, japanese more be good at expression horrible, bloody, and have imagination more.

Although " the mermaid of sewer " be considered as generally to reveal the industrial civilization destruction to the environment, pollute meeting finish mankind's best thing.

But we must contact the characteristic of this film and Japanese nation, because the culture of Japanese nation shorts, resource lack, everything should lean ab extra. Or study (send for instance the Tang Dynasty make study culture of west of be used to of new learning of Chinese culture, Ming Zhiwei) , or relies on aggression to undertake plunder namely.

Because short, created the self-abased sense on a kind of spirit so, plant to mask this self-abased, must be in apparently prouder, crueler, more pursuit acme.

So, destroy the United States, destroy everything, became a kind of special psychology demand. " Aoteman " medium big strange animal is a kind of destruction, " Gesila " series also is a kind of destruction, " the mermaid of sewer " it is a kind of destruction more.

So, regular meeting of classics of work of art has two extremes: The beauty of acme, with the destruction of acme.
