Someone explain Suicide Club/Circle to me.

[Axem Rangers]

Finally saw this today, and though I found it completely and thoroughly enjoyable, I also thought it was the only film that I would describe as "one giant fucking plothole." Every time a new mystery, a new abstarction, a new false clue was introduced, I glanced at how much time was left in the film. I became seriously distraught when I found I was doing this when there were 45, 30, 15, 10 minutes left, including the credits roll.

It felt like the movie had ADD. It followed too many characters spending too little time on each, it had too much going on, and in an attempt to be deep it lost itself in its own complexity. I'm a big fan of the surreal and the abstract, and I've no quarrel with vauge, open-ended endings, but this movie just had so much happening. It was hard to figure out what was suuposed to be a clue, what was supposed to symbolize something, or if something was even supposed to be important at all.

Assistance is greatly appreciated.

Is this that one movie of a whole bunch of Japanese schoolgirls doing things like jumping in the path of a train or off bridges, etc?

That is the film indeed.

I'd try to explain it, but in a move completely out of the ordinary for a good psychological horror flick, I passed out mid-film and woke up to that scary-ass music video behind the credits.

the only thing i understood from it was that the loli pop group was the one spreading the suicide craze through a subliminal message in their song. reason why they're doing it? i have no clue.

im guessing its one of those films where you have to watch it over and over again until you get the message. speaking of which, i think im gonna watch it again

Well, there's also the quasi-sequal and possibly a third (?) coming out.

I don't think the tennybop group was really causing people to kill themselves, but even if they were, that doesn't tie up the rolls of skin or help me figure out what the fuck Genesis had to do with anything. :<

Well I am totally agree with the view of Axem Rangers, yes this movie full of new clues and I believe that this is only a dramatic movie. It was hard to figure out what was supposed to be a clue, what was supposed to symbolize something, or if something was even supposed to be important at all.

Oh so that's what the movie is called. Been curious about that gif floating around the Internet for a while now. I'll be watching it soon now, thanks.

(EDIT) Just watched it today with four other homies.

The movie made no sense.
