[6/10 · 30 April 2017]

First of all, the film has a moderate quality in today's standards. But it has a great satirical critique. And it's not a known production, because it's not much liked by the audience and it's not a huge budget. It's a movie made in Japan. We can see in this film the appearance of skirt under white pants which is the classic of Japanese films. The film contains very exaggerated and absurd scenes for being satirical. The vast majority of disliked audiences don't like the film because of absurd, exaggerated scenes. The film starts on the bus with a school trip. It's dividing an unspecified windy bus into two. The main girl, Mitsuko, is the only survivor. After when she goes to school, she realizes she does not know anyone in the school. This school is not her school and her friends are not her friends. Then there's another weird incident in school. The teachers of the school are starting to kill everybody in the school with a scanning rifle. Mitsuko runs away from school and takes refuge in a police station. And when the cop holds the mirror to the girl, we see again the identity of someone different. And here we can understand that Mitsuko is in a game, not real life. It's quite possible to compare it to The Matrix movie. And from here on in the movie Mitsuko continues to progress like an arcade mode game. As the film progresses, it gets different identities every time. It is also possible to see a lot of Hollywood shipments in the movie. By way of example, the Keiko character's wedding could be a fighting scene at the end of The Matrix's derivation. When we continue through this, Keiko escapes from there and continues in a running race. And in this jogging race, we see everybody in the film from start to finish. At the end of the run, like a cave, Izumu entered the world of men from here. Especially noteworthy is that there are no men in the film until this scene. Here Mitsuko sees the future and faints. When Mitsuko wakes up, she finds herself in a game. We see a very old man with long hair playing with them like a PlayStation. In this case, we see a feminist critique of the use of women in the fact that all of this is a game that men do. Mitsuko is actually a dead woman in 2034 and men have created a game with her genetics. Then we see the sculptures of dead women in the film. Mitsuko then realizes that the men will start the game again and kills herself at the beginning of the game in order to break the loop. When Mitsuko dies, all the playable characters die, and mitsuko gets a chance in the snow. End overall, the film uses Feminism correctly and makes a good criticism that men dominate the woman. Because feminism sees women and men equality in symbols and improper use of it in movie. The film can be a good production made to break the perception that men lead women. As I mentioned at the beginning, the film is not very good quality, but it contains a solid criticism.
