I exist. I exist here. I know I exist. I exist, but not today. Today comes constantly. It'll come until I die. But I don't exist today. We don't exist in the todays we've lost. It appears as if we do, but we don't.

You wake up from a nightmare where your life is just a character evolving on stage, for the amusement of others. But you wake up. To reality. Or ... are you still on stage? If yes... where is the exit? Where?

An item that appears repeatedly throughout the movie gets a very strong meaning at the end of it. A lizard who grew too big to ever get out of the bottle he's in! Where's the exit? Where?

Antiporno is not a porn movie. It contains some nudity scenes, vulgar language and many shocking scenes. And color. A lot of color sometimes. Liquid even. But besides, it's hard to say what it is. Perhaps for someone more familiar with the work of Japanese director Sion Sono, things are clearer. It is a symbolic film, requiring an effort to understand it. And I believe that a profound knowledge of Japanese society is indispensable.

Just an observation. Reinforced concrete has a certain way of cracking. Metal suffer entirely different kind of damage. In the movie the concrete buildings cracks quite realistic. But at one point we see a big ship tilted, supported by a building. And the boat has the same type of damage as if it were made from concrete, not metal.

Perhaps CGI team is not aware of material properties. Or perhaps they believed that viewers are too ignorant to notice the difference. I do not like being taken for a fool, that upsets me terribly. In a film that's all about special effects, it is inexcusable the ignorance of these details.
