title represent visitor q director represent takashi miike review represent jeez and i do not know where the heck to begin with this one . well i guess it could be talk about miike and how he be know for his ultra violent yakuza film or his love for shock the heck out of his audience . but i could also talk about how he doesn not just shock for the sake of shock . there some context and a message that accompany the shocking imagery . such be the case with visitor q a very strange journey and but ultimately a very shocking and entertaining and think provoke one . the story be about this incredibly dysfunctional family in which everyone be live in their own little world . there no unity . no love . heck and when the movie start out you think they be all different story and then and slowly you start to realize that this people be all related and living in the same house hold . the mother a heroin addict and the kid get beat up at school by bully and so he take it out on his mother by violently hit her and the father a failed reporter who be try to come to grip with his premature ejaculation problem and the daughter and well shes a whore ( literally . ) . so a you can see and this family be all over the place . in come a strange visitor who suddenly start to live with them and observe them from afar . not talk much and just observe at the insanity of the everyday life of this four crazy people . the thing about this movie be that and yes it be very shock with the image . in fact and i do not think you will ever see a movie as crazy a this one . i be sure of it . not even in your wild craziest horniest dream will you see the crazy thing that you will see on visitor q. but you see and the film be not only about the shock value and for miike make sure that there be substance to the story and because it really touch upon some important social theme . it talk about the importance of family and love and about the role of the father a protector of the house hold and about the need of motherly love and about bully get whats come to them . i think that many of the theme explore on this film be very relevant for the japanese culture and i be sure miike be just vent all those frustration out through this artistic outlet and but ill be damn if all this social commentary isn not relevant to any other culture . then there the visitor q. he be just someone who start to co exist with the family and i saw him a maybe god come down to earth and see this family quietly act a only an observer and see what he have create and what his creation have turn into . he be almost emotionless . though he will let the family member know when they be do something wrong by bang it into their head . literally . anyhows and i be sure many people will have their own interpretation a to who the visitor be and what he represent . so ill leave that up to you . all in all i think this movie be hugely entertaining and just because of the fact that i couldn not believe some of the thing that be happen on the screen a i watch . some of the thing be so amusing that you cant help but laugh . at the same time and just like when you watch a film by lynch or cronenberg . you know there some deep commentary on the human condition in there somewhere . so you watch . watch and interpret . watch and try and figure it out . amazed and shock a you learn . be it a horror movie . i do not know and it as much a horror movie a some might consider mullholand drive or lose highway a horror movie . it go deep into those dark region of the human mind . the insanity and crazyness of the situation can get horrify if you look at it from that perspective . it do have some gore and blood and but id say it more a horror movie because of the place that it take u on a psychological level . though i must go down in say that this film be certainly not for everyone . it certainly isn not for anyone who like their movie safe and hollywood like . it not for those who love happy ending and that warm feeling inside . it more for those unconventional people who like to dive deep into to the dark region of the human psyche and be brave enough to see what they find . rating represent 4 half out of 5 .
