[Music]

00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:52,000
[Music]

3
00:00:52,001 --> 00:00:58,000
On August 14, 2002, an internet warrior
who sated through the streets of Tokyo,

4
00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:01,000
armed with an arsenal of hidden cameras,

5
00:01:01,001 --> 00:01:06,000
he surveyed the lives of whoever
passed through his people's field of view.

6
00:01:06,001 --> 00:01:11,000
On the way, he looked up at a security
camera peeping down from above.

7
00:01:11,001 --> 00:01:16,923
As Nietzsche always said, "You stare
into the abyss and the abyss stares back.

8
00:01:16,924 --> 00:01:20,364
" Drive just described
as the opening scene

9
00:01:20,388 --> 00:01:24,012
of a 2004 Japanese
film called Peep TV show.

10
00:01:24,001 --> 00:01:27,000
And I think it s a pretty
interesting rabbit hole of a movie.

11
00:01:27,649 --> 00:01:32,000
But no one s really talking
about it, so I ll take this stage.

12
00:01:32,199 --> 00:01:34,000
Let s get back to the internet warrior.

13
00:01:34,099 --> 00:01:36,000
His name is Hasay Gala.

14
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000
After he s finished his crusade,
he retreats to his humble abode,

15
00:01:40,001 --> 00:01:45,000
which is essentially a poorly lit shoe
box with a TV and computer thrown in.

16
00:01:45,001 --> 00:01:48,000
Hasay Gala lives in a fucking void.

17
00:01:48,001 --> 00:01:51,049
Alone but not lonely, he
had his connection to the

18
00:01:51,073 --> 00:01:54,012
outside world projected
right there on his wall,

19
00:01:54,099 --> 00:01:57,000
which he just so happened
to be beating his meat.

20
00:01:57,099 --> 00:02:00,000
Complete with a POV
meat beating shot as well.

21
00:02:00,049 --> 00:02:03,000
Lack in a tissue is forced
to use the next best thing.

22
00:02:03,074 --> 00:02:05,992
Oh, and audio coverage
of the September 11th

23
00:02:06,016 --> 00:02:09,012
terrorist attacks is
played over all of this.

24
00:02:09,001 --> 00:02:10,893
If you were watching
this film with your

25
00:02:10,917 --> 00:02:13,012
grand and grand s, I
m sorry for your voice.

26
00:02:13,001 --> 00:02:15,860
And if you re wondering
what about footage of

27
00:02:15,884 --> 00:02:19,012
Bystanders' legs is so
tantalizing to Hasay Gala,

28
00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:22,000
well to him, it s not just
footage of Bystanders' legs.

29
00:02:22,575 --> 00:02:24,974
It s a piece of the
reality that he s so

30
00:02:24,998 --> 00:02:28,012
desperately searching
for, but more on that later.

31
00:02:30,350 --> 00:02:34,000
Elsewhere in Tokyo that same day,
a girl went shopping with her friends.

32
00:02:34,100 --> 00:02:38,000
Afterwards, she returned home
where she lived with her boyfriend,

33
00:02:38,001 --> 00:02:41,000
who was apparently
unaware of her existence.

34
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,000
The only thing getting turned
on in their bedrooms is PS2.

35
00:02:44,250 --> 00:02:49,000
Her hobbies include dressing
like a gothical elita, lying in bed,

36
00:02:49,125 --> 00:02:51,118
and spending every
waking moment desperately

37
00:02:51,142 --> 00:02:53,012
wishing to tear off
her room with a wish.

38
00:03:11,375 --> 00:03:13,000
Her name is Mo.

39
00:03:13,001 --> 00:03:18,000
And much like Hasay Gala, she looked
up at a camera keeping down from above.

40
00:03:18,001 --> 00:03:20,908
A very same camera you re
watching her through, leaving

41
00:03:20,932 --> 00:03:24,012
you feeling as if you re as
much of warrior as Hasay Gala.

42
00:03:24,100 --> 00:03:27,538
Also, when you got a security
camera in your own bedroom, that

43
00:03:27,562 --> 00:03:31,012
s how you know you re living
in a surveillance state for real.

44
00:03:31,001 --> 00:03:33,000
A new day then arrived.

45
00:03:33,001 --> 00:03:39,000
August 15th, 2002, the anniversary
of Japan s surrender in World War II,

46
00:03:39,001 --> 00:03:43,000
which thanks to mass media proliferation
has become a yearly surrender.

47
00:03:43,300 --> 00:03:48,000
Ensuring that in the minds of the populace,
the scars of war will never fully heal.

48
00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:53,000
The film scope expands beyond the Gune
caves and subcultures of Tokyo's youth,

49
00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:56,599
as we observe the equally
hellish existence of overworked

50
00:03:56,623 --> 00:04:00,012
middle-aged businessmen
through the eyes of Hasay Gala.

51
00:04:00,001 --> 00:04:02,542
One man exhausted the
combs through the details

52
00:04:02,566 --> 00:04:05,012
of Japan s surrender,
drilled into his brain.

53
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,788
Under his breath, he curses
an invisible enemy, searching

54
00:04:08,812 --> 00:04:12,012
for a target at which to
direct his loosely defined rage.

55
00:04:12,300 --> 00:04:14,000
But he comes up short.

56
00:04:14,001 --> 00:04:16,460
The truth of the matter
is obscured by media

57
00:04:16,484 --> 00:04:19,012
narratives and conducted
behind closed doors.

58
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,561
Trying to find not only who to
point the finger at, but actually

59
00:04:22,585 --> 00:04:26,012
hold them accountable for
societal ills was like a fool s erring.

60
00:04:26,025 --> 00:04:28,045
The type of shit to make
you throw your hands

61
00:04:28,069 --> 00:04:30,012
up in the air and say
fuck the whole world.

62
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,000
Next to him sits a man
staring down at attacks.

63
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:50,000
At Hasay Gala's workplace, co-worker
clues him in on the new big thing.

64
00:04:50,250 --> 00:04:54,000
He raves about corn sites
with one-on-one ham show.

65
00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:57,000
What a beautiful amalgamation of pixels.

66
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,000
There's no illusion of
intimacy going on here.

67
00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:02,000
How raw and real it is.

68
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:13,000
Well, not real enough for Hasay Gala.

69
00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:16,000
This is a 26 year old office worker.

70
00:05:16,001 --> 00:05:19,000
Earlier that night, she had
dinner with a colleague.

71
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,915
They had a living discussion that ranged
from their hellish working conditions to

72
00:05:24,939 --> 00:05:29,012
reminiscing over the September 11th Paris
attacks that occurred nearly a year prior.

73
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,016
Later that night, she made a new
friend named Hasay Gala, who was kind

74
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,012
enough to follow her home, steal
her phone bill, set up a spy camera,

75
00:05:38,100 --> 00:05:41,503
keeping in to her apartment
and torment her over a

76
00:05:41,527 --> 00:05:45,012
telephone call, letting his
omnipresence beam know.

77
00:05:45,001 --> 00:05:50,000
Why relish her suffering
first, ask questions later.

78
00:06:09,150 --> 00:06:17,000
Writing off this clairvoyance,
PPTV show began.

79
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:50,000
[typing]

80
00:06:56,425 --> 00:07:00,000
[music]

81
00:07:23,100 --> 00:07:29,000
[music]

82
00:07:34,450 --> 00:07:42,000
[music]

83
00:07:42,075 --> 00:07:44,000
Don't have a life.

84
00:07:44,001 --> 00:07:45,000
Well, good news.

85
00:07:45,001 --> 00:07:48,000
You can just live others lives
in the absence of your own.

86
00:07:48,001 --> 00:07:50,000
Fuck an infinite life glitch.

87
00:07:50,001 --> 00:07:55,000
Is the world collapsing to the benefit
of a bloodthirsty media machine?

88
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,846
Some braced nihilism, consider it all
whack, and watching someone get trapped in a

89
00:07:59,870 --> 00:08:04,012
burning building isn't so fun when you got
to deal with the smoke getting in your lungs.

90
00:08:04,001 --> 00:08:07,000
But through the safety of a
screen, well, that's just good cinema.

91
00:08:07,001 --> 00:08:11,000
Oh, and that whole intimacy
thing is a pain in the ass.

92
00:08:11,001 --> 00:08:14,000
Why not just stare at
a pair of pixelated kids?

93
00:08:14,001 --> 00:08:18,000
Welcome to the hell that the
characters in PPTV show were living in.

94
00:08:18,001 --> 00:08:21,020
And the hottest circle
of this hell was reserved

95
00:08:21,044 --> 00:08:24,012
for the marginalized
youth, such as Hasay Gala.

96
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,093
But what's separated him from the rest and left
him a pariah among clubs is that he was conscious

97
00:08:31,117 --> 00:08:35,012
of the cyberpsychosis leaving everyone those
subjects and perpetrators of chronic voyeurism.

98
00:08:35,424 --> 00:08:38,000
Bip in their own reality out of their hand.

99
00:08:38,274 --> 00:08:41,071
But with the launch of
his website, PPTVShow.

100
00:08:41,095 --> 00:08:44,012
net, no longer would his
awareness be gate kept.

101
00:08:44,001 --> 00:08:47,210
Fastered on the homepage was
his rubble-peeping monologue,

102
00:08:47,234 --> 00:08:50,012
along with footage of the
twin towers up in smoke.

103
00:08:50,149 --> 00:08:53,563
What better mascot
than 9/11? Tokyo was just

104
00:08:53,587 --> 00:08:57,012
as much a ground zero
as ground zero itself.

105
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,940
To advertise his website, he made business
cards with the URL printed on and took a

106
00:09:01,964 --> 00:09:06,012
stroll through the city recruiting any retro
on the fringe of society he came across.

107
00:09:06,025 --> 00:09:09,733
Through the drop of a card, a
sniveling worm makes food attempts

108
00:09:09,757 --> 00:09:13,012
to record up women's skirts
and Hasay Gala drops a card.

109
00:09:13,001 --> 00:09:16,338
A business ban on the brink
falls to his knees under the

110
00:09:16,362 --> 00:09:20,012
weight of his soulless existence
and Hasay Gala drops a card.

111
00:09:20,001 --> 00:09:23,071
All taken to walk through the
city, something draws mode

112
00:09:23,095 --> 00:09:26,012
the gothic Lolita over to
him crouched down, keeping.

113
00:09:26,001 --> 00:09:29,000
And Hasay Gala drops a card.

114
00:09:29,001 --> 00:09:35,000
Over the coming days, it was individuals
like these who logged on to PPTVShow.net.

115
00:09:35,001 --> 00:09:37,000
Their world was semen and blood.

116
00:09:37,001 --> 00:09:39,000
What color is it?

117
00:09:40,049 --> 00:09:43,000
Yes, that's right. It's pink.

118
00:09:43,001 --> 00:09:46,369
The website afforded them
an unholy safe space from Elle,

119
00:09:46,393 --> 00:09:50,012
where they can finally bask in
their corruption, no hope for.

120
00:09:50,001 --> 00:09:54,000
Here, the truth would be
laid bare, no matter how far.

121
00:09:54,299 --> 00:09:56,590
All the better for the
site's popularity, because

122
00:09:56,614 --> 00:09:59,012
of course nothing catches
on quite like degeneracy.

123
00:09:59,001 --> 00:10:02,000
Hasay Gala was simply doing as he learned.

124
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,250
The site featured daily diary entries
of his that ranged from documenting

125
00:10:08,274 --> 00:10:12,012
the life of an al-Qaeda hijacker
in the days leading up to 9/11.

126
00:10:12,001 --> 00:10:14,988
To footage from one of his
numerous spy cameras set

127
00:10:15,012 --> 00:10:18,012
up peeping into dozens of
Tokyo inhabitants' homes.

128
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,133
Reviewers could treat themselves
to spousal disputes, spousal fuckings,

129
00:10:23,157 --> 00:10:27,012
lonely dipshits, wallowing in
despair, or even just pure monotony.

130
00:10:27,050 --> 00:10:30,013
Just watching someone hang
their masks on a coat bath

131
00:10:30,037 --> 00:10:33,012
and live a real life was
enough of a spectacle on it.

132
00:10:33,001 --> 00:10:35,604
Oh, nothing hit the
spot like watching people

133
00:10:35,628 --> 00:10:38,012
sleep though, such
a fuzzy feeling again.

134
00:10:38,149 --> 00:10:40,615
Viewers could anonymously
bond with one another

135
00:10:40,639 --> 00:10:43,012
past just peeping
through use of a chat room,

136
00:10:43,074 --> 00:10:46,835
where they discussed whatever
debauchery they were just associating

137
00:10:46,859 --> 00:10:50,012
to and offered advice about
good porn shops in the life.

138
00:10:50,001 --> 00:10:53,000
This was Facebook before Facebook.
This was Facebook for free.

139
00:10:53,001 --> 00:10:56,181
At one point, Hasay Gala
hyped up a special event, leaving

140
00:10:56,205 --> 00:10:59,012
his viewers gnawing at
the shops with anticipation.

141
00:10:59,001 --> 00:11:02,294
When the time arrived,
what they saw was Hasay Gala

142
00:11:02,318 --> 00:11:06,012
playing with his adorable
cat pet, he had just picked up.

143
00:11:06,001 --> 00:11:09,000
It was a nice break in
between all the turmoil.

144
00:11:09,549 --> 00:11:12,000
He then proceeded to suffocate
the cat in the bag, brutally.

145
00:11:12,199 --> 00:11:15,000
I'm not gonna show it, but
I know what you're thinking.

146
00:11:15,299 --> 00:11:17,000
Did they really kill a cat for this movie?

147
00:11:17,001 --> 00:11:19,000
Well, don't you worry.

148
00:11:19,001 --> 00:11:21,933
I have a definitive answer
that I'll tell you later.

149
00:11:21,957 --> 00:11:24,012
We're not that
many layers need yet.

150
00:11:24,001 --> 00:11:27,000
And it's good that you're
questioning what's real and fiction here.

151
00:11:27,124 --> 00:11:31,000
So there you have it, the P.P.
TV show experiment was underway.

152
00:11:31,001 --> 00:11:34,000
But who were these greetings really?

153
00:11:34,001 --> 00:11:39,000
We know they enjoy watching things
die, but we don't really know who they are.

154
00:11:39,001 --> 00:11:42,000
What led them to this state of sedation?

155
00:11:42,001 --> 00:11:45,000
The film from this point on
dances between scenes of characters

156
00:11:45,001 --> 00:11:50,000
indulging in their fantasies on the
online world and confessional type scenes

157
00:11:50,074 --> 00:11:53,000
from the real world that feel like
they're straight out of a documentary.

158
00:11:53,001 --> 00:11:57,000
It's what really makes P.P.
TV show special.

159
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,000
This is him, my two mothers.

160
00:12:27,549 --> 00:12:30,000
Mo is trapped between
a rock in the heart plate,

161
00:12:30,499 --> 00:12:35,000
judging by her silence when a hairstylist
attempts to recruit her as a model.

162
00:12:35,199 --> 00:12:40,000
She finds the objectification that
her gothic Lolita lifestyle brings cringe.

163
00:12:40,299 --> 00:12:45,000
Yet she attends a cosplaying event
with her friends Nogomi and Rosako,

164
00:12:45,001 --> 00:12:48,000
where she gets photos taken of
her by similar kinds of characters.

165
00:12:48,050 --> 00:12:51,000
She's on some inner conflict type shit.

166
00:12:51,001 --> 00:12:54,000
Like her relationships are so
unfulfilling that she's left seeking any

167
00:12:54,001 --> 00:12:59,000
modicum of attention and connection
no matter how degenerate the source.

168
00:12:59,001 --> 00:13:02,000
Her relationship with herself
being the most unfulfilling of all.

169
00:13:02,001 --> 00:13:06,000
The truth is the gothic Lolita
attire was just one of the masks

170
00:13:06,199 --> 00:13:09,000
Mo wore an absence of any real identity.

171
00:13:09,349 --> 00:13:13,000
And despite how many people
around her were sharing similar elements,

172
00:13:13,199 --> 00:13:15,000
she was alone and so were they.

173
00:13:15,001 --> 00:13:17,000
The void inside her was growing.

174
00:13:17,124 --> 00:13:21,012
And soon she would be nothing but a
hollowed-out corpse trapped under the rubble.

175
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:31,000
(speaking in a foreign language)

176
00:13:31,001 --> 00:13:33,000
Okay, this is kind of silly.

177
00:13:33,001 --> 00:13:35,000
She's wearing gothic Lolita.

178
00:13:35,299 --> 00:13:37,000
And she probably runs sometimes too.

179
00:13:37,249 --> 00:13:39,000
Is she stupid?

180
00:13:39,001 --> 00:13:43,000
Well, from her perspective, these things
were enough for Rosako and Nogomi.

181
00:13:43,149 --> 00:13:45,000
It's not like she would have any clue.

182
00:13:45,001 --> 00:13:49,000
Their conversations were limited to
a handful of NPC dialogue options.

183
00:13:49,499 --> 00:13:54,000
Instead, they unveil their insecurities
to a disembodied cameraman.

184
00:13:54,001 --> 00:13:58,000
Don't we all, Nogomi starts
with the standard one too,

185
00:13:58,001 --> 00:14:02,000
saying she was insecure about her
appearance before she dressed up like this.

186
00:14:02,001 --> 00:14:05,000
Then quickly gets into
some Socrates type stuff,

187
00:14:05,001 --> 00:14:08,000
saying herself the question
of which ones reveal me.

188
00:14:08,001 --> 00:14:11,000
The one that's not dulled up in
gothic Lolita or the one that is.

189
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:40,000
All right, I've got a headache.

190
00:14:40,050 --> 00:14:43,000
Maybe the real Nogomi was the
friends we made along the way.

191
00:14:43,299 --> 00:14:47,000
As for Rosako, she opts to bear
her soul through paper and pen.

192
00:15:08,999 --> 00:15:10,000
There you have it.

193
00:15:10,399 --> 00:15:12,787
Just a glimpse of what's
going on under the

194
00:15:12,788 --> 00:15:15,000
surface of these girls,
cheesing for a camera.

195
00:15:15,001 --> 00:15:18,000
I wonder where these ticking
time bombs are headed.

196
00:15:40,949 --> 00:15:44,000
Wait, hold up.

197
00:15:44,001 --> 00:15:47,000
If you're unfamiliar with
what a fashion health shop is,

198
00:15:47,001 --> 00:15:50,000
according to Wikipedia,
it's a form of massage parlor,

199
00:15:50,001 --> 00:15:54,000
which circumvents Japanese laws
against prostitution by offering a range

200
00:15:54,149 --> 00:15:57,000
of sexual services that
stop short of intercourse.

201
00:15:57,001 --> 00:16:00,000
So the whole fashion
health shit is just a cover.

202
00:16:00,001 --> 00:16:03,000
Pity the poor bastard who
walks into one of these places,

203
00:16:03,001 --> 00:16:06,000
God, fashion, and health.
Nothing is sacred.

204
00:16:06,050 --> 00:16:08,000
They're coming for our game stops now.

205
00:16:08,001 --> 00:16:11,000
Anyway, let's hear about
the joys of such a job.

206
00:16:23,699 --> 00:16:26,000
Damn. There's an exchange going on here.

207
00:16:26,001 --> 00:16:30,000
She exchanges her identity and
humanity for a pile of Benjamin.

208
00:16:30,424 --> 00:16:35,000
It may sound grim, but according to her
calculation, it's a favorable transaction.

209
00:16:53,199 --> 00:16:56,000
Her long-distance
boyfriend has a differing view.

210
00:17:08,299 --> 00:17:11,000
Okay, well, long-distance
and a metaphorical sense.

211
00:17:11,149 --> 00:17:13,062
Though you could argue
any kind of communications

212
00:17:13,162 --> 00:17:17,000
long-distance, when
it's through a scree.

213
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Next, we examine a 23-year-old pill pop-in
receptionist who's fucking depressed.

214
00:17:49,599 --> 00:17:52,000
She recounts viewing
9/11 for the first time

215
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,000
and uggling the
cinematic spectacle of it all.

216
00:17:55,349 --> 00:17:58,000
Much like Hasay Gawa and
much like everyone, really.

217
00:17:58,449 --> 00:18:01,012
But as the dust settled,
she was left with an

218
00:18:01,036 --> 00:18:04,012
overwhelming feeling of
powerlessness and isolation,

219
00:18:04,001 --> 00:18:07,000
exasperated by a
breakup with her boyfriend.

220
00:18:07,001 --> 00:18:11,000
She couldn't save those corpses, and
no one was coming to save her, either.

221
00:18:11,149 --> 00:18:14,000
Whether it be 9/11 or
her own personal life,

222
00:18:14,001 --> 00:18:18,000
nothing was in her control
and all was turning for rubble.

223
00:18:18,299 --> 00:18:22,000
But hey, nothing pills an
alcohol can't fix, right, kids?

224
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke,
but I'm not sure if it's a joke.

225
00:18:33,049 --> 00:18:38,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke,
but I'm not sure if it's a joke.

226
00:18:38,001 --> 00:18:41,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke,
but I'm not sure if it's a joke.

227
00:18:41,001 --> 00:18:47,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke,
but I'm not sure if it's a joke.

228
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:18,000
The business man increasingly haunted
by a constant stream of homicidal urges

229
00:19:18,001 --> 00:19:23,000
seems at a good time to drop his mask while
watching the aforementioned cute cat-bid.

230
00:19:23,099 --> 00:19:26,000
He bemoans humanity's
endless appetite for war.

231
00:19:26,001 --> 00:19:28,000
It's a never-ending cycle.

232
00:19:28,249 --> 00:19:31,000
The other guy throws a
stone, so you throw a stone.

233
00:19:31,349 --> 00:19:34,000
So they throw a stone, you get the idea.

234
00:19:34,001 --> 00:19:38,000
He sees the whole world getting dragged
into a whole 'nother bunch of bullshit

235
00:19:38,001 --> 00:19:42,000
in the aftermath of 9/11, so
it's not like he has a solution.

236
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,000
And he mocks the anti-war
activists searching for once.

237
00:19:45,399 --> 00:19:47,000
Hope, more like hope.

238
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,000
It's just a joke.

239
00:19:59,274 --> 00:20:02,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

240
00:20:02,001 --> 00:20:05,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

241
00:20:05,001 --> 00:20:07,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

242
00:20:07,001 --> 00:20:09,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

243
00:20:09,001 --> 00:20:12,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

244
00:20:12,001 --> 00:20:15,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

245
00:20:15,001 --> 00:20:18,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

246
00:20:18,049 --> 00:20:21,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

247
00:20:21,749 --> 00:20:26,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

248
00:20:26,001 --> 00:20:29,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

249
00:20:30,999 --> 00:20:32,119
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

250
00:20:33,999 --> 00:20:35,119
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

251
00:20:36,999 --> 00:20:38,119
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

252
00:20:38,999 --> 00:20:40,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

253
00:20:40,001 --> 00:20:41,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

254
00:20:41,001 --> 00:20:42,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

255
00:20:42,001 --> 00:20:43,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

256
00:20:43,001 --> 00:20:45,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

257
00:20:45,001 --> 00:20:46,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

258
00:20:46,001 --> 00:20:47,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

259
00:20:47,001 --> 00:20:48,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

260
00:20:48,001 --> 00:20:49,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

261
00:20:49,001 --> 00:20:50,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

262
00:20:50,001 --> 00:20:51,000
It's a joke.

263
00:20:51,001 --> 00:20:52,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

264
00:20:52,001 --> 00:20:53,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

265
00:20:53,001 --> 00:20:54,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

266
00:20:54,001 --> 00:20:55,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

267
00:20:55,001 --> 00:20:56,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

268
00:20:56,001 --> 00:20:57,026
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

269
00:20:57,050 --> 00:20:58,125
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

270
00:20:58,149 --> 00:20:59,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

271
00:20:59,001 --> 00:21:00,026
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

272
00:21:00,050 --> 00:21:01,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

273
00:21:01,001 --> 00:21:02,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

274
00:21:02,001 --> 00:21:03,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

275
00:21:03,001 --> 00:21:04,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

276
00:21:04,001 --> 00:21:05,121
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

277
00:21:05,199 --> 00:21:06,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

278
00:21:06,001 --> 00:21:07,076
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

279
00:21:07,100 --> 00:21:08,220
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

280
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:23,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

281
00:21:23,899 --> 00:21:26,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

282
00:21:26,299 --> 00:21:29,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

283
00:21:29,001 --> 00:21:32,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

284
00:21:32,001 --> 00:21:35,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

285
00:21:35,100 --> 00:21:36,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

286
00:21:36,001 --> 00:21:40,000
Unlike Hasegawa, watching reports
of such events around the world

287
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,000
leaves him feeling involved and that
he has a duty to try to change things.

288
00:21:44,099 --> 00:21:46,615
He doesn't happen to
spare any words of what he's

289
00:21:46,639 --> 00:21:49,012
actually going to do to
change things, though.

290
00:21:49,149 --> 00:21:51,000
Instead, he stutters over buzzwords.

291
00:21:51,001 --> 00:21:55,000
He starts from fellow armchair
advocates, like globalism.

292
00:21:55,001 --> 00:21:59,000
And that's when his beach begins
to poke holes in his investment.

293
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:08,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

294
00:22:08,324 --> 00:22:11,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

295
00:22:11,499 --> 00:22:14,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

296
00:22:14,449 --> 00:22:17,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

297
00:22:17,001 --> 00:22:19,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

298
00:22:19,199 --> 00:22:21,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

299
00:22:21,099 --> 00:22:23,000
I'm not sure if it's a joke.

300
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:36,000
Unlike global conflicts, there's no screen
separating her hand from the money.

301
00:22:36,001 --> 00:22:38,000
He has no excuse.

302
00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:02,000
This ramen-munch-in-trog is what's
known in Japan as a Hikiko Mori.

303
00:23:02,449 --> 00:23:05,605
Absolute loners out
of job and out of school

304
00:23:05,629 --> 00:23:09,012
who isolate themselves
in their parents' homes.

305
00:23:09,001 --> 00:23:10,081
Here's a pic for reference.

306
00:23:10,649 --> 00:23:13,000
Even the neckbeards in Japan are awesome.

307
00:23:13,001 --> 00:23:16,056
But despite how cool
this guy may seem, being

308
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,012
a Hikiko Mori isn't
actually all that dope.

309
00:23:19,199 --> 00:23:22,000
And this guy is a good example as to why.

310
00:23:22,524 --> 00:23:28,000
Before he even opens his mouth, I am a
psychologist, then he has OCD or something.

311
00:23:28,001 --> 00:23:31,017
Disjudging by how his
bedroom is sterile AF and he's

312
00:23:31,041 --> 00:23:34,012
surrounded by tissues,
wet wipes, and plastic bags.

313
00:23:34,049 --> 00:23:37,613
He looks up at a camera, keeping
down from above, and tells us he feels

314
00:23:37,637 --> 00:23:41,012
the way the media is making a
big spectacle out of people like him.

315
00:23:41,124 --> 00:23:45,000
As if he's a part of some widespread
social problem, is a bit overkill.

316
00:23:45,001 --> 00:23:47,000
And that really, he's just a coward.

317
00:23:47,001 --> 00:23:51,000
He only ever leaves his apartment
to go to the convenience store.

318
00:23:51,074 --> 00:23:53,553
You can hear it in his
voice, how absolutely

319
00:23:53,577 --> 00:23:56,012
the fuck done he is
with the outside world.

320
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,000
But he didn't choose
this life, it cocked him.

321
00:24:07,349 --> 00:24:12,000
He couldn't keep up with all the dipshits,
all the hustle, and all the goddamn bustle.

322
00:24:12,001 --> 00:24:14,000
It's just too much.

323
00:24:14,001 --> 00:24:18,000
Dive in dick first into that glory hole
you're bound to come out to start.

324
00:24:18,001 --> 00:24:23,000
In his room, he was king. The real world
was waiting for him in a cute little box.

325
00:24:48,249 --> 00:24:51,000
But, he was a good friend.

326
00:24:51,249 --> 00:24:53,000

she's determined to pierce the veil.

He was a good friend of mine.

442
00:29:47,499 --> 00:29:52,000
Next day, check in on the receptionist
who TLDR is still as depressed as ever.

443
00:29:52,299 --> 00:29:54,000
It's their final stop of the night.

444
00:29:54,049 --> 00:29:56,000
That really leaves an impression though.

445
00:29:56,149 --> 00:30:00,000
Mo picks it out.
It's her very own apartment.

446
00:30:22,299 --> 00:30:27,000
Don't mind that.

447
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,000
Now, if you're not quite
sure what just went down,

448
00:30:53,149 --> 00:30:57,000
basically most friend of gomi fucked
the absolute shit out of her boyfriend.

449
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,000
I think a sorry bestie is
probably in order here.

450
00:31:00,099 --> 00:31:02,409
It turns out that
peeping in on others' lives

451
00:31:02,433 --> 00:31:05,012
isn't all funny games
when you've got to stake it.

452
00:31:05,001 --> 00:31:08,000
Because when you do and
something like that happens,

453
00:31:08,199 --> 00:31:11,025
it makes you want to put down the
popcorn bucket and pull out the book.

454
00:31:11,049 --> 00:31:16,000
Mo tries coping that the footage is
just like a Seinfeld episode or something,

455
00:31:16,149 --> 00:31:19,000
but unfortunately for her, it's
just as unfunny and way more real.

456
00:31:19,001 --> 00:31:19,724
She learns through email
that Nagomi has uploaded an

457
00:31:19,748 --> 00:31:23,000
online diary, spilling the
tea on her depravity's extent.

It goes without saying
that Nagomi has problems.

477
00:33:59,001 --> 00:34:02,161
What the balance of blame
for those problems is between

478
00:34:02,185 --> 00:34:05,012
her inner world and the
outside world, who knows.

479
00:34:05,299 --> 00:34:09,000
Notice how many rando's are lurched
over their monitors enjoying the show.

480

Because of course nothing
catches on quite like degeneracy.

481

Trust yourself conscious, which
Nagomi are you going to remember?

482
00:34:17,001 --> 00:34:19,938
The Nagomi that works at a
department store, or the Nagomi

483
00:34:19,939 --> 00:34:23,000
that wants to stain her
pure white blouse with blood.

484
00:34:23,001 --> 00:34:27,000
As for Mo, she's going to remember
the Nagomi that fucked her boyfriend.

485
00:34:27,050 --> 00:34:30,520
Just when she thought her reality
couldn't sink any deeper into it.

486
00:34:30,620 --> 00:34:33,000
We're past the Mariana trenched outage.

487

We're nearing the Earth's boiling hot core,

488
00:34:35,710 --> 00:34:39,719
where she could finally be rid of it
all and go down in a blazing glory.

489
00:34:39,770 --> 00:34:44,440
At the same time, Haseh Galwa
nears a crescendo of his own.

490
00:34:44,540 --> 00:34:47,159
He broadcasts a grand
event for his audience.

491
00:34:47,310 --> 00:34:50,600
For the first time ever,
there's someone else in his boy.

492
00:34:50,650 --> 00:34:53,719
A prostitute is hired to slap him around.

493
00:34:53,820 --> 00:34:57,720

recount a terrorist mantra.

This sado masochism wasn't enough to
rouse him from his lifelessness though.

00:35:11,950 --> 00:35:13,880
In fact, it had only cemented it.

497
00:35:14,030 --> 00:35:17,480
Haseh Galwa is a cornered
animal that's been silently suffering.

498
00:35:17,655 --> 00:35:20,760
Confronted with the fact that
his pep TV show Pet Project

499
00:35:20,860 --> 00:35:22,680
wouldn't build a void inside him.

500

they creceded through the streets of
Tokyo and into a women's restroom.

505
00:36:14,281 --> 00:36:17,880
On the way, Mo locks eyes
with one of the so-called normals,

506
00:36:17,881 --> 00:36:20,014
and the look of
mutual disdain they give

507
00:36:20,038 --> 00:36:22,452
each other says so much
while saying nothing.

508
00:36:22,441 --> 00:36:28,200
Once inside, they survey the lives of
whoever took a shit or piss in the stalls.

509
00:36:28,201 --> 00:36:31,960
No one could be free from
pep TV show surveillance.

510
00:36:31,961 --> 00:36:33,720
Even at their most vulnerable.

511
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:51,800
Haseh Galwa and Mo would instill
a sense of paranoia in every last

512
00:36:53,800 --> 00:37:01,800
time.

513
00:37:25,330 --> 00:37:31,480
Back in Haseh Galwa's crib, Mo tells
him she wants to become a subject

514
00:37:48,220 --> 00:37:54,120
of the pep TV show, and so he obliges.

515
00:37:56,140 --> 00:38:03,640
She finds it oddly comforting.

516
00:38:03,740 --> 00:38:08,040
Surveillance can be both an agonizing
nightmare and a dream come true.

517
00:38:08,190 --> 00:38:10,602
You gotta admit, there's
something enticing

518
00:38:10,626 --> 00:38:13,332
about the protagonist's
life in the Truman show.

519
00:38:13,420 --> 00:38:15,640
He means something to people.

520
00:38:15,641 --> 00:38:19,000
Anyway, pep TV show
is popping off for real.

521
00:38:19,125 --> 00:38:23,880
It's viewership now consisted
of 150 youth plus 30 adults,

522
00:38:23,980 --> 00:38:27,320
you know what that adds up to 180 people.

523
00:38:27,321 --> 00:38:30,360
It's also an opportunity
to make some jokes.

524
00:38:30,435 --> 00:38:33,480
That's right, it was time
to monetize this bitch.

525
00:38:33,530 --> 00:38:34,680
Fuck a job.

526
00:38:34,780 --> 00:38:36,440
Just start a cyber quote.

527
00:38:36,540 --> 00:38:39,376
Haseh Galwa put down
a paywall demanding a

528
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,452
3,000 yen a month fee
for access to the site.

529
00:38:42,540 --> 00:38:47,080
Prophetic, considering every goddamn
thing is a subscription service these days.

530
00:38:47,081 --> 00:38:47,960
Up top.

531
00:38:48,010 --> 00:38:50,920
This is an "I am" become capitalism moment,

532
00:38:50,945 --> 00:38:54,120
even if that the hands
of the revolutionary youth.

533
00:38:54,170 --> 00:38:57,958
As the site grew, the line
between pep TV show and the

534
00:38:57,982 --> 00:39:01,572
mainstream media was
becoming increasingly blurred.

535
00:39:01,610 --> 00:39:06,520
When you look at the time, the
first anniversary of 9/11 draws near.

536
00:39:06,570 --> 00:39:09,834
Let's hear some personal
testimonies from Mo,

537
00:39:09,858 --> 00:39:13,572
Nagomi, and Versaco as
for what 9/11 meets at them.

538
00:39:13,610 --> 00:39:18,120
What's the end of this video?

539
00:39:18,220 --> 00:39:21,400
How do you think of it?

540
00:39:21,500 --> 00:39:22,840
How do you think of it?

541
00:39:22,940 --> 00:39:25,000
What's the end of this video?

542
00:39:25,150 --> 00:39:27,720
What's the end of this video?

543
00:39:27,770 --> 00:39:29,800
What's the end of this video?

00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,280
What's the end of this video?

00:39:32,330 --> 00:39:33,880
What's the end of this video?

What's the end of this video?

00:39:37,875 --> 00:39:40,280
What's the end of this video?

549
00:39:40,380 --> 00:39:42,440
What's the end of this video?

550
00:39:42,515 --> 00:39:45,080
What's the end of this video?

00:39:45,130 --> 00:39:47,800
What's the end of this video?

552
00:39:47,801 --> 00:39:49,000
What's the end of this video?

553
00:39:49,100 --> 00:39:51,000
What's the end of this video?

00:39:55,470 --> 00:39:57,560
What's the end of this video?

557
00:39:57,660 --> 00:39:59,880
What's the end of this video?

558
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,840
What's the end of this video?

00:40:02,990 --> 00:40:06,200
What's the end of this video?

00:40:06,350 --> 00:40:13,560
What's the end of this video?

00:40:13,561 --> 00:40:15,480
What's the end of this video?

00:40:15,730 --> 00:40:18,600
What's the end of this video?

563
00:40:18,700 --> 00:40:22,120
What's the end of this video?

564
00:40:22,245 --> 00:40:25,080
What's the end of this video?

565
00:40:25,230 --> 00:40:27,320
What's the end of this video?

00:40:27,420 --> 00:40:28,580
What's the end of this video?

00:40:28,770 --> 00:40:31,480
What's the end of this video?

568
00:40:31,580 --> 00:40:33,880
What's the end of this video?

569
00:40:33,881 --> 00:40:35,800
What's the end of this video?

570
00:40:35,900 --> 00:40:38,120
What's the end of this video?

00:40:38,220 --> 00:40:40,040
What's the end of this video?

00:40:40,090 --> 00:40:43,240
What's the end of this video?

573
00:40:43,340 --> 00:40:44,486
What's the end of this video?

574
00:40:44,510 --> 00:40:47,800
What's the end of this video?

575
00:40:47,900 --> 00:40:49,240
What's the end of this video?

576
00:40:49,315 --> 00:40:51,560
What's the end of this video?

577
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:12,920
What's the end of this video?

578
00:41:12,945 --> 00:41:16,360
What's the end of this video?

579
00:41:16,361 --> 00:41:18,360
What's the end of this video?

580
00:41:18,361 --> 00:41:21,280
What's the end of this video?

581
00:41:21,305 --> 00:41:23,440
What's the end of this video?

582
00:41:23,441 --> 00:41:25,920
What's the end of this video?

583
00:41:25,921 --> 00:41:28,640
What's the end of this video?

584
00:41:28,641 --> 00:41:31,120
What's the end of this video?

585
00:41:31,870 --> 00:41:33,240
What's the end of this video?

586
00:41:33,241 --> 00:41:36,640
What's the end of this video?

587
00:41:36,641 --> 00:41:39,440
What's the end of this video?

588
00:41:39,441 --> 00:41:41,680
What's the end of this video?

589
00:41:41,681 --> 00:41:44,560
Hasay Galwa then does something strange.

590
00:41:44,561 --> 00:41:47,760
He sends Mo an email
asking how she's doing.

591
00:41:47,761 --> 00:41:49,040
Okay, I guess.

592
00:41:49,041 --> 00:41:50,120
She responds.

593
00:41:50,121 --> 00:41:53,840
It was as if they were both
sat down in the same void.

594
00:41:53,841 --> 00:41:57,640
The internet often divided
people and left them empty husks,

595
00:41:57,641 --> 00:42:00,664
but for Mo and Hasay Galwa,
it seemed it had brought

596
00:42:00,665 --> 00:42:03,640
them together and offered
some semblance of hope,

597
00:42:03,641 --> 00:42:08,560
although there's a thin
line between hope and hope.

598
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:31,440
Don't worry Mo, I won't forget

599
00:42:31,740 --> 00:42:33,240
it and speaking of corpses,

600
00:42:33,340 --> 00:42:36,600
if you told me she was one in
the shot, I would believe you.

601
00:42:47,354 --> 00:42:48,800
Okay, Pops.

602
00:42:48,801 --> 00:42:52,760
I hate to blue ball you hear,
but before we tackle the big day,

603
00:42:52,761 --> 00:42:56,160
I think it's a good time to
take a step back and get fed up.

604
00:42:56,161 --> 00:42:58,320
This is a movie, my right fellas.

605
00:42:58,321 --> 00:43:00,440
You may have noticed how candid it seems

606
00:43:00,441 --> 00:43:04,080
as the cinematography and
the character's performances.

607
00:43:04,081 --> 00:43:08,280
Even you scratch and you noggin over
what's television and what's real life.

608
00:43:08,281 --> 00:43:12,640
Let's find out just how real
this thing really is for real.

609
00:43:12,641 --> 00:43:16,360
First of all, keep TV
show.net is an actual website.

610
00:43:16,361 --> 00:43:18,696
Although it's bare
bones, it doesn't seem to

611
00:43:18,697 --> 00:43:21,720
have all the content
the one in the film does.

612
00:43:21,721 --> 00:43:26,080
But when you click on the Twin Tower
JPEG, it takes you to Nagomi's diary.

613
00:43:26,081 --> 00:43:27,680
That face will haunt me.

614
00:43:27,681 --> 00:43:31,440
I found an older version of the
site through the way back machine

615
00:43:31,441 --> 00:43:37,320
that has some extra content than the
form of footage from Hasega was spy camps.

616
00:43:37,321 --> 00:43:39,680
Though unfortunately, as it says up here,

617
00:43:39,681 --> 00:43:43,480
the server's dead, so you
can't view the footage anymore.

618
00:43:43,481 --> 00:43:45,760
Next up, the official meadow website

619
00:43:45,761 --> 00:43:48,840
that has a bunch of background
information about the film.

620
00:43:48,841 --> 00:43:53,160
The minds behind P.P.P.V.
show are director Yutaka Succia

621
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,440
and co-writer Karen Amemia.

622
00:43:55,441 --> 00:43:58,480
She's something of a gothic Lolita herself.

623
00:43:58,481 --> 00:44:03,040
And there's also a right-wing activist
that got rejected from art school.

624
00:44:03,041 --> 00:44:03,960
(upbeat music)

625
00:44:03,961 --> 00:44:06,680
Oh, but she left the
right-wing in 2001, few.

626
00:44:06,681 --> 00:44:10,880
Her youth was marred by punk
rock, drug overdoses, and risk cutting.

627
00:44:10,881 --> 00:44:14,040
At the behest of an
absolute identity crisis.

628
00:44:14,041 --> 00:44:15,720
And she's written a whole bunch of books

629
00:44:15,721 --> 00:44:19,000
dealing with similar issues as P.P.P.P.V.
show.

630
00:44:19,001 --> 00:44:20,560
There's a fun fact down here.

631
00:44:20,561 --> 00:44:23,066
South Korea's president
actually read one of her

632
00:44:23,067 --> 00:44:25,400
books and said it gave
them a lot to think about.

633
00:44:25,401 --> 00:44:28,960
So if Korea unifies, you know who to think.

634
00:44:28,961 --> 00:44:32,040
But either her or Dennis
Rodman take your pick,

635
00:44:32,090 --> 00:44:37,360
speaking of Korea, her favorite
vacation spots are North Korea and Zivat.

636
00:44:37,361 --> 00:44:38,200
Why?

637
00:44:38,201 --> 00:44:39,360
Well, here's her answer.

638
00:44:39,361 --> 00:44:42,409
I went to North Korea and
Zivat because I was interested in

639
00:44:42,410 --> 00:44:45,320
what it would be like to go
to a country on a war footing

640
00:44:45,770 --> 00:44:47,560
that is completely different to Japan.

641
00:44:47,561 --> 00:44:51,960
Living in Japan, even though there's
a recession, there's still food to eat.

642
00:44:51,961 --> 00:44:54,320
It's not like there's nothing you can do.

643
00:44:54,321 --> 00:44:57,560
But there's an uncomfortable
feeling in this type of piece.

644
00:44:57,561 --> 00:45:00,360
And to feeling that
life is somehow difficult,

645
00:45:00,361 --> 00:45:04,160
which is why I think some
people resort to cutting their wrists.

646
00:45:04,161 --> 00:45:07,140
In contrast, the people of
North Korea will tell you with

647
00:45:07,141 --> 00:45:10,960
the straight face that no one
commits suicide in our country.

648
00:45:10,961 --> 00:45:13,440
Instead, there are people
who are starving to death.

649
00:45:13,441 --> 00:45:16,480
Well, also, I think there
are far fewer people

650
00:45:16,481 --> 00:45:19,680
cutting their wrists in
Iraq compared to Japan.

651
00:45:19,681 --> 00:45:20,880
And even if there were,

652
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,680
it probably wouldn't
become a social problem.

653
00:45:23,681 --> 00:45:26,200
In North Korea, people starve to death.

654
00:45:26,201 --> 00:45:28,280
And Iraqis get shot to death.

655
00:45:28,281 --> 00:45:31,240
But in Japan, people kill themselves.

656
00:45:31,241 --> 00:45:33,120
Which is right, she wonders.

657
00:45:33,121 --> 00:45:35,280
Oh, and side note, on the same website,

658
00:45:35,380 --> 00:45:36,920
I found this answer of hers.

659
00:45:36,921 --> 00:45:40,480
There's also an explanation
of the Japanese term.

660
00:45:40,481 --> 00:45:44,840
The word Mo refers to the state of
being immersed in a sense of ecstasy,

661
00:45:44,841 --> 00:45:49,880
mainly by becoming obsessed with
two-dimensional characters from anime and games.

662
00:45:49,881 --> 00:45:52,578
So if you were caught off
guard by the existence of a

663
00:45:52,579 --> 00:45:55,480
chick named Mo, well, there's
some background for you.

664
00:45:55,481 --> 00:45:57,440
As for you, talk as you cheer.

665
00:45:57,441 --> 00:45:59,720
I found this website of his that looks like

666
00:45:59,795 --> 00:46:02,320
it's a whole 'nother
rabbit hole of its own.

667
00:46:02,321 --> 00:46:05,160
But it links to a YouTube
channel that I checked out.

668
00:46:05,161 --> 00:46:06,161
And uh.

669
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,600
(speaking in foreign language)

670
00:46:26,125 --> 00:46:29,959
♫ Back, back, back, back, back, back, back,
back, back, back, back, back, back, back,

671
00:46:29,983 --> 00:46:34,012
back, back, back, back, back, back, back,
back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back.

672
00:46:34,001 --> 00:46:36,520
So that's pretty cool.

673
00:46:36,521 --> 00:46:38,920
Anyway, back to the Peep TV show.

674
00:46:38,921 --> 00:46:41,280
The site has a commentary section,

675
00:46:41,281 --> 00:46:44,480
where there's a neat little
description of the story.

676
00:46:44,481 --> 00:46:47,720
Also, some more
backgrounds on Gothic Lolita.

677
00:46:47,721 --> 00:46:50,760
It's described as being
the almost dull-like fashion

678
00:46:50,761 --> 00:46:54,725
favored by the fans of rock
bands and by people who long to

679
00:46:54,726 --> 00:46:57,320
be considered aesthetic, which
that's what I've been saying,

680
00:46:57,321 --> 00:46:59,560
or what my own goddamn
aesthetic, you know what I mean?

681
00:46:59,561 --> 00:47:00,720
Like shit.

682
00:47:00,721 --> 00:47:03,000
Down here, we've got some bullet points.

683
00:47:03,001 --> 00:47:05,000
Actors play themselves.

684
00:47:05,001 --> 00:47:11,240
Shiori, who plays the leading role of Mo,
was in reality a Gothic Lolita with DPD.

685
00:47:11,241 --> 00:47:15,080
(speaking in foreign language)

686
00:47:21,710 --> 00:47:24,920
(speaking in foreign language)

687
00:47:29,794 --> 00:47:32,760
In real life, the socially
withdrawn young man

688
00:47:32,761 --> 00:47:36,520
actually did not step out
of his room for five years.

689
00:47:36,521 --> 00:47:39,280
The characters in the
film reflect the actors

690
00:47:39,281 --> 00:47:41,910
who play them, bringing
a heightened reality

691
00:47:41,911 --> 00:47:45,000
to the piece,
documentary-style camera work.

692
00:47:45,001 --> 00:47:47,240
Other than the pivotal dialogue,

693
00:47:47,241 --> 00:47:50,960
the actors were encouraged to
add live while the camera rolled.

694
00:47:50,961 --> 00:47:54,000
Through this method, the
conflict of the characters

695
00:47:54,001 --> 00:47:57,520
falling between fiction and
documentary is intensified.

696
00:47:59,004 --> 00:48:01,000
Hold up, what's this?

697
00:48:01,001 --> 00:48:02,600
Fun site, you say?

698
00:48:02,601 --> 00:48:04,120
I wanna have some fun.

699
00:48:04,121 --> 00:48:06,880
(dramatic music)

700
00:48:06,881 --> 00:48:10,160
Don't worry, through use-away
back machine, I was able to get in.

701
00:48:11,284 --> 00:48:14,680
This is a support group for Peep TV show.

702
00:48:14,681 --> 00:48:20,120
In other words, it's a Peep TV show
fan club, or at least the ruins of one.

703
00:48:20,121 --> 00:48:22,760
I feel like I'm playing
goddamn Dark Souls out here.

704
00:48:22,761 --> 00:48:23,760
You know what I mean?

705
00:48:23,761 --> 00:48:25,920
Let's start with the Declaration.

706
00:48:25,921 --> 00:48:29,280
Are you Takasuchia
has finally taken action?

707
00:48:29,281 --> 00:48:31,800
In this new century,
the world is in the state

708
00:48:31,950 --> 00:48:35,080
of great upheaval with 9/11 in New York.

709
00:48:35,081 --> 00:48:40,160
Emergency legislation being debated in
the diet, the Palestinian issue, and more.

710
00:48:40,161 --> 00:48:42,760
But I find myself unable
to grasp the reality

711
00:48:42,835 --> 00:48:46,520
of any of it, lack of
imagination, death, and life.

712
00:48:46,521 --> 00:48:49,559
We obtain a vast amount
of information through

713
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:53,300
the media, inside and
outside the cathode way too.

714
00:48:53,301 --> 00:48:54,400
Make boundaries.

715
00:48:54,401 --> 00:48:57,960
I find myself becoming
insanely depleted of reality.

716
00:48:57,961 --> 00:48:59,320
That's why I fight.

717
00:48:59,321 --> 00:49:02,400
It's not about criticism,
critique, or slander.

718
00:49:02,401 --> 00:49:04,640
It's about my own desire.

719
00:49:04,641 --> 00:49:08,440
I search for the enemy within
myself and regain my horizons.

720
00:49:08,441 --> 00:49:11,040
I'm in the thick of it, everybody knows.

721
00:49:11,090 --> 00:49:13,560
Sometimes I feel like
this world is nothing more

722
00:49:13,561 --> 00:49:15,903
than a human delusion,
and that I and other

723
00:49:15,904 --> 00:49:18,920
people are just shadows
that no longer exist.

724
00:49:18,921 --> 00:49:21,440
I just wanted to see the blue sky.

725
00:49:21,441 --> 00:49:25,160
What is this sense of loss and frustration?

726
00:49:25,161 --> 00:49:27,840
Emotions, sensations, peers.

727
00:49:27,841 --> 00:49:31,080
All of these are just a matter
of the brain's mechanisms.

728
00:49:31,081 --> 00:49:36,440
The circuits of memory, ethics,
loving people, plants, and shit.

729
00:49:36,441 --> 00:49:40,560
What we can do now, there's
probably nothing difficult about it.

730
00:49:40,561 --> 00:49:42,880
First of all, don't give up.

731
00:49:42,881 --> 00:49:50,800
And then, in other words, this is my own
declaration of support for Utaka Succia.

732
00:49:50,801 --> 00:49:53,520
Next up, let's get to know the main cast.

733
00:49:53,521 --> 00:49:55,720
First Chiori, who plays mo.

734
00:49:55,721 --> 00:49:58,480
Her worries include
stretch marks on her ass.

735
00:49:58,481 --> 00:50:01,160
Her dream is to move to Okinawa permanently

736
00:50:01,161 --> 00:50:03,760
to buy up all the Anasui,
which I looked it up.

737
00:50:03,860 --> 00:50:05,400
It's a perfume.

738
00:50:05,401 --> 00:50:08,240
Her favorite book is Mine
Conf, and oh, Tarantino.

739
00:50:08,241 --> 00:50:09,880
Good taste and directors.

740
00:50:09,881 --> 00:50:12,480
And one of her lovers is Tadanobu Asano.

741
00:50:12,481 --> 00:50:15,240
I must assume his
performance as khaki horror

742
00:50:15,390 --> 00:50:17,160
in each of the killers, specifically.

743
00:50:17,161 --> 00:50:19,040
And if so, then I can get behind that.

744
00:50:19,041 --> 00:50:20,360
But not in a gay way.

745
00:50:20,361 --> 00:50:21,960
Next, tase gawa.

746
00:50:21,961 --> 00:50:24,440
He reads manga and strums the guitar.

747
00:50:24,441 --> 00:50:27,720
And he still hasn't paid off his
loan for his trip to North Korea.

748
00:50:27,721 --> 00:50:29,840
Which, yeah, he went to North Korea, too.

749
00:50:29,841 --> 00:50:31,760
It's like Disneyland to these people.

750
00:50:31,761 --> 00:50:32,960
Now we're soccer.

751
00:50:32,961 --> 00:50:37,200
When a woman uses it as a
weapon, it is very beautiful and dirty.

752
00:50:37,201 --> 00:50:40,080
I have to be strong
so that I don't lose to it.

753
00:50:40,081 --> 00:50:41,720
And what is gothic?

754
00:50:41,721 --> 00:50:43,720
I don't know, can I phone a friend?

755
00:50:43,721 --> 00:50:46,800
And finally, Nagomi,
or should I say a kiko?

756
00:50:46,801 --> 00:50:51,520
Her ideal man is one who can pull out
his own wisdom teeth and chew them.

757
00:50:51,521 --> 00:50:52,520
Kinky.

758
00:50:52,521 --> 00:50:53,640
One word.

759
00:50:53,641 --> 00:50:56,440
I've been into gothic
blue leader for five months.

760
00:50:56,441 --> 00:51:00,760
I've had a cell phone for four
months as of December 2002.

761
00:51:00,761 --> 00:51:02,560
Which will last longer?

762
00:51:02,561 --> 00:51:06,120
I'll probably stop both by
the time the movie comes out.

763
00:51:06,121 --> 00:51:07,760
It's been 22 years.

764
00:51:07,761 --> 00:51:10,120
I'm curious how she's held up.

765
00:51:10,121 --> 00:51:12,480
Makes you wonder how
much of who these people were

766
00:51:12,481 --> 00:51:15,920
back in 2002 has been
retained at this point.

767
00:51:15,921 --> 00:51:17,560
Identities are always morphing.

768
00:51:17,561 --> 00:51:18,920
They're not concrete.

769
00:51:18,921 --> 00:51:21,120
It's scary how people change.

770
00:51:21,121 --> 00:51:23,920
Anyway, this isn't a
fucking philosophy class.

771
00:51:23,921 --> 00:51:24,840
That.

772
00:51:24,841 --> 00:51:26,920
For the most part,
this is just descriptions

773
00:51:26,921 --> 00:51:30,440
of what projects members
of the crew have worked on.

774
00:51:30,441 --> 00:51:33,880
I'm a high school dropout
of vocational school dropout.

775
00:51:33,881 --> 00:51:36,640
And now I'm back in
college and I'm not giving up.

776
00:51:36,641 --> 00:51:39,120
I think it's worth living with shame.

777
00:51:39,121 --> 00:51:41,400
I don't know if that's inspiring or what.

778
00:51:41,401 --> 00:51:44,000
And now to snoop through a diary.

779
00:51:44,001 --> 00:51:48,800
Kevin Amiya's diary that is not
all of the entries were archived.

780
00:51:48,801 --> 00:51:49,880
But I'll give a tale.

781
00:51:49,881 --> 00:51:52,960
They are a highlight
wheel of the ones that were.

782
00:51:52,961 --> 00:51:56,000
At the end of 2001, Tuchia announced

783
00:51:56,001 --> 00:52:00,760
that he would chew a new film
in 2002 in order to push himself.

784
00:52:00,761 --> 00:52:03,240
It would be about a man
who expresses his anger

785
00:52:03,290 --> 00:52:06,800
towards the world through
the act of taking secret photos.

786
00:52:06,801 --> 00:52:10,360
The OG title was How to
Make a Molotov Cocktail.

787
00:52:10,361 --> 00:52:12,847
And the theme was to
open a hole in the media

788
00:52:12,848 --> 00:52:16,000
society using a small
camera as a weapon.

789
00:52:16,001 --> 00:52:20,440
In April 2002, Karen Amiya
came on board as a co-writer.

790
00:52:20,441 --> 00:52:23,600
And that is when Gothic
Lolita entered the plot.

791
00:52:23,601 --> 00:52:26,600
In May 2002, after reading a lot of books

792
00:52:26,601 --> 00:52:30,120
and watching a lot of movies
like Harmony Corbin's Gumbo,

793
00:52:30,121 --> 00:52:32,680
Tuchia decided that he
wanted to make a film

794
00:52:32,681 --> 00:52:35,960
that shows a stance of facing
the lack of an exit head-on,

795
00:52:35,961 --> 00:52:39,280
rather than being resigned
to the fact that there is no exit.

796
00:52:39,281 --> 00:52:42,320
And they also decided not
to use professional actors

797
00:52:42,321 --> 00:52:46,400
in the film, instead to have
real people playing themselves.

798
00:52:46,401 --> 00:52:51,640
Throughout June and July of 2002,
Tuchia was burdened by a lack of funds,

799
00:52:51,641 --> 00:52:55,600
tellishly intensive jobs,
and crippling writer's block.

800
00:52:55,601 --> 00:52:58,080
The lame work on the film synopsis.

801
00:52:58,081 --> 00:53:00,760
Throughout August,
Karen assembled the cast,

802
00:53:00,761 --> 00:53:03,360
meeting with Hasey
Galois, the Gothic Lolita,

803
00:53:03,535 --> 00:53:05,983
and filtering through the
emails of people that had

804
00:53:05,984 --> 00:53:09,040
answered their advertisements,
looking for actors.

805
00:53:09,041 --> 00:53:12,280
Finally, just a handful of
days before shooting began

806
00:53:12,281 --> 00:53:16,360
on August 15th, Tuchia
completed the synopsis.

807
00:53:16,361 --> 00:53:21,320
It wasn't until the first day of shooting
that Shiori was locked into play mode.

808
00:53:21,321 --> 00:53:24,720
And she told them that the
character was literally her.

809
00:53:24,721 --> 00:53:29,760
Both Mo and Hasey Galois were fans of
Amamiya's that met her through email.

810
00:53:29,761 --> 00:53:32,680
After reading her book,
Living Hell and Heaven,

811
00:53:32,681 --> 00:53:36,320
released in 2000 that
documents her desperate search

812
00:53:36,321 --> 00:53:38,800
for her self-discovery
throughout her youth.

813
00:53:38,801 --> 00:53:40,640
And she had traveled to North Korea

814
00:53:40,765 --> 00:53:42,600
with Hasey Galois in June.

815
00:53:42,601 --> 00:53:46,360
On August 19th, Tuchia
and Amamiya struggled

816
00:53:46,361 --> 00:53:51,080
to find a place to hold a meeting with 10
people who wanted to appear in the film.

817
00:53:51,081 --> 00:53:54,040
The problem was they had no fucking money.

818
00:53:54,041 --> 00:53:58,400
The cost of renting out wherever they were
gonna meet was a matter of life and death.

819
00:53:58,401 --> 00:54:00,924
Luckily through use of
the internet and the phone

820
00:54:00,925 --> 00:54:03,600
book, Amamiya is able
to find a place for cheap.

821
00:54:03,601 --> 00:54:06,360
They faced great difficulty
trying to coordinate

822
00:54:06,485 --> 00:54:08,760
the schedules of all these people though.

823
00:54:08,761 --> 00:54:11,421
In particular, Hikiko
Mori that had been

824
00:54:11,422 --> 00:54:15,480
wandering around manga
cafes with a soda in hand,

825
00:54:15,481 --> 00:54:18,840
leaving Suchia screaming why
the fuck aren't you at home?

826
00:54:18,841 --> 00:54:20,480
You're a Hikiko Mori.

827
00:54:20,481 --> 00:54:22,880
That's the entire point of your existence.

828
00:54:22,881 --> 00:54:26,760
The need was coming out of his
shell and achieving personal growth,

829
00:54:26,761 --> 00:54:31,760
but at the expense of the art, which was
far bigger than him and far more important.

830
00:54:31,761 --> 00:54:35,200
Amamiya writes that as Tuchia
tries to scrounge together

831
00:54:35,201 --> 00:54:38,480
a movie with such
limited time and resources,

832
00:54:38,481 --> 00:54:42,600
it felt like he was doing what he should
have done six months ago that week.

833
00:54:42,601 --> 00:54:46,440
They were still searching
for actors, cats, toilets,

834
00:54:46,490 --> 00:54:50,080
stores, and restaurants that
could be used in the film.

835
00:54:50,081 --> 00:54:52,920
He had mixed feelings of
whether this was good enough

836
00:54:52,921 --> 00:54:56,680
and was worried and regretful
about the overcrowded schedule.

837
00:54:56,681 --> 00:54:59,160
Such is the pain of creation.

838
00:54:59,161 --> 00:55:02,680
On August 20th, Tuchia
realizes he hasn't bought

839
00:55:02,681 --> 00:55:06,320
the necessary equipment
for a shoot on the 24th

840
00:55:06,321 --> 00:55:11,600
and requires 300,000 yen loan
from Amamiya in order to afford it.

841
00:55:11,601 --> 00:55:17,400
On August 21st, he meets with an actress
and they discuss her role as a prostitute.

842
00:55:17,401 --> 00:55:20,676
But he and Amiya had been
so busy wrangling people

843
00:55:20,677 --> 00:55:23,600
together that they hadn't
completed the script.

844
00:55:23,601 --> 00:55:27,440
Later that day, another
meeting with the cast is held.

845
00:55:27,441 --> 00:55:30,720
But three of them didn't
show up 'cause they forgot.

846
00:55:30,721 --> 00:55:33,080
Tuchia was foaming at the mount.

847
00:55:33,081 --> 00:55:35,440
At the meeting, some
refused to bear the weight

848
00:55:35,540 --> 00:55:36,520
of their role.

849
00:55:36,521 --> 00:55:39,480
Others asked questions,
but nothing concrete

850
00:55:39,481 --> 00:55:43,880
had been decided and all they
could discuss was abstract ideas.

851
00:55:43,881 --> 00:55:47,520
Tuchia felt like cancer
and ended the meeting.

852
00:55:47,521 --> 00:55:52,000
On the 23rd, Amamiya's fourth
book, The Queen of Atope,

853
00:55:52,001 --> 00:55:55,320
about her struggle with
medical issues was released.

854
00:55:55,321 --> 00:55:57,760
Though she wouldn't
receive vital loyalty money

855
00:55:57,885 --> 00:55:59,680
until the end of September.

856
00:55:59,681 --> 00:56:04,280
On the 24th, some scenes
with the Gothic Lolita were shot.

857
00:56:04,281 --> 00:56:07,581
Throughout the day, the
crew were harassed by police

858
00:56:07,582 --> 00:56:10,960
officers and security guards
for filming without permission.

859
00:56:10,961 --> 00:56:12,880
But they kept on ballin'.

860
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:15,400
The dude who was gonna
play the sniveling worm

861
00:56:15,401 --> 00:56:19,280
that records up skirts,
expressed anxiety over the role.

862
00:56:19,281 --> 00:56:24,800
Askin, if he was expected to practice
by reporting up skirts in his down time,

863
00:56:24,801 --> 00:56:27,680
he would stare at women
whenever he got on a train.

864
00:56:27,681 --> 00:56:31,200
He felt like Masashi Tashiro,
which I looked up the name.

865
00:56:31,201 --> 00:56:34,240
He's a TV entertainer or was, I guess.

866
00:56:34,241 --> 00:56:37,080
And his Wikipedia page sure is something.

867
00:56:37,081 --> 00:56:41,120
He's also a chronic up skirt
photographer, as you might have expected.

868
00:56:41,121 --> 00:56:45,600
More interesting than that, though,
is the person of the year incident.

869
00:56:45,601 --> 00:56:49,840
In 2001, users of the
internet formed two channels

870
00:56:49,841 --> 00:56:53,760
voted en masse for Tashiro
as person of the year.

871
00:56:53,761 --> 00:56:57,920
They programmed scripts called
Super Tashiro Cannon and shit.

872
00:56:57,921 --> 00:57:03,279
And Tashiro reached the number one position,
passing Osama bin Laden and George W.

873
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:05,600
Bush by a pretty
good margin pair.

874
00:57:05,601 --> 00:57:08,360
Eventually 1984 picked in, though.

875
00:57:08,361 --> 00:57:12,920
So yeah, anyway, back to this
guy, talk about method acting.

876
00:57:12,970 --> 00:57:15,840
Truly the Daniel de Louis of Japan.

877
00:57:15,841 --> 00:57:21,214
Suchia exhaustively tells him, "No,
you're not actually doing any up-spirited.

878
00:57:21,215 --> 00:57:26,680
" The entry for the 25th just says
that Amamiya collapsed from Indonesia.

879
00:57:26,681 --> 00:57:31,680
So R-I-P and then more
economic issues on the 26th.

880
00:57:32,430 --> 00:57:36,920
On August 27th, the crew
tested their hidden cameras.

881
00:57:36,921 --> 00:57:40,217
Amamiya imagines a
headline like independent film

882
00:57:40,218 --> 00:57:43,560
director arrested for
taking up-skirt photos.

883
00:57:43,561 --> 00:57:46,160
The difficulty of shooting gives Suchia

884
00:57:46,161 --> 00:57:49,560
a renewed respect for
the professional lawyers.

885
00:57:49,561 --> 00:57:53,920
They also scout some locations
out, such as the women's restroom,

886
00:57:53,921 --> 00:57:58,800
which Amamiya notes the sus nature
of three dudes wandering around in it.

887
00:57:58,801 --> 00:58:01,680
They also found a good
spot for where the salaryman

888
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:03,880
would scream in Shinjuku.

889
00:58:03,881 --> 00:58:06,080
However, the guy playing the salaryman

890
00:58:06,081 --> 00:58:09,760
actually was a salaryman
that worked in Shinjuku.

891
00:58:09,761 --> 00:58:13,840
If one of his co-workers saw him,
they would think he lost it for real.

892
00:58:13,841 --> 00:58:14,960
Maybe he did.

893
00:58:14,961 --> 00:58:17,120
The movie was just an excuse.

894
00:58:17,121 --> 00:58:21,600
On the 28th, Amamiya got
her wisdom teeth removed.

895
00:58:21,601 --> 00:58:27,000
And Suchia met with some actresses that
agreed to take part in the bathroom scene,

896
00:58:27,001 --> 00:58:29,560
'cause they didn't just
stroll on into a bathroom,

897
00:58:29,810 --> 00:58:32,120
unfrompted and start recording, all right?

898
00:58:32,121 --> 00:58:34,160
It was done under agreement.

899
00:58:34,161 --> 00:58:38,360
No crimes that egregious
were committed during filming.

900
00:58:38,361 --> 00:58:42,680
Amamiya throws some shade
on the cashier's slash activist,

901
00:58:42,681 --> 00:58:46,380
who is also a cashier's
slash activist in real

902
00:58:46,381 --> 00:58:49,320
life, writing that he
showed off his narcissism

903
00:58:49,321 --> 00:58:52,691
by requesting his character
be named Suzu Arva

904
00:58:52,692 --> 00:58:56,040
toji, the pro tag of
love and fantasy fascism.

905
00:58:56,041 --> 00:58:58,960
I don't know what that
means, but go off, queen.

906
00:58:58,961 --> 00:59:04,520
On the 29th, everybody got her
absolutely the fuck up at a pub.

907
00:59:04,521 --> 00:59:08,200
Over 30 people showed up
and the party was popping.

908
00:59:08,201 --> 00:59:11,520
It was an unlimited mixed
martial arts death match.

909
00:59:11,521 --> 00:59:14,090
With a jumble of
editors, film directors,

910
00:59:14,091 --> 00:59:17,840
terrorists, Taekiko, Maury,
virgins, beautiful girls,

911
00:59:17,841 --> 00:59:24,640
Gothic Lolita, overworked salary men,
communists, sex workers, musicians, and more.

912
00:59:24,641 --> 00:59:27,280
But you know what all
these people had in common?

913
00:59:27,281 --> 00:59:29,200
They were fucking freaks.

914
00:59:29,201 --> 00:59:31,920
That night, Amamiya felt genuine dread

915
00:59:31,921 --> 00:59:35,640
imagining what kind of movie
could be made with such a group.

916
00:59:35,641 --> 00:59:38,320
The next day, a hungover Succia feared

917
00:59:38,321 --> 00:59:42,200
he had become a real warrior
as he shot hidden camera scene.

918
00:59:42,201 --> 00:59:47,000
Well, after all, you stare into the
abyss and it stares the fuck back.

919
00:59:47,001 --> 00:59:53,080
By August 31st, only the opening
part of the script was completed.

920
00:59:53,081 --> 00:59:56,720
All the vest of the diary
and trees have been lost.

921
00:59:56,721 --> 01:00:01,234
Up until February 1st, 2003,
when Amamiya stumbles

922
01:00:01,235 --> 01:00:05,240
upon a student, worrying
about various things in life.

923
01:00:05,241 --> 01:00:08,118
So she tells him, if you're
so worried, you should

924
01:00:08,119 --> 01:00:11,640
go to Iraq until you readily
agrees to go with her.

925
01:00:11,641 --> 01:00:14,840
See, that's the spontaneity
I like to see in life.

926
01:00:14,841 --> 01:00:18,280
The final entry was
written on February 2nd.

927
01:00:18,281 --> 01:00:22,200
Amamiya had some Indian
food and took a train to Tokyo,

928
01:00:22,201 --> 01:00:26,000
and she was never heard
from again, just kidding.

929
01:00:26,001 --> 01:00:28,000
But yeah, that's it for the diary.

930
01:00:28,001 --> 01:00:29,840
Make of it what you will.

931
01:00:29,841 --> 01:00:34,720
The circumstances of Pete TV
shows creation were certainly scuffed.

932
01:00:34,721 --> 01:00:36,320
There's one takeaway.

933
01:00:36,321 --> 01:00:37,120
Text.

934
01:00:37,121 --> 01:00:38,760
Whatever could that be?

935
01:00:38,761 --> 01:00:41,560
It appears it's an
advertisement suchia vote

936
01:00:41,561 --> 01:00:47,360
for an early version of Pete TV
show back on July 22nd, 2002,

937
01:00:47,361 --> 01:00:51,320
in some raunchy scumfuck
magazine called Bazooka.

938
01:00:51,321 --> 01:00:53,640
I'll just read this part down here.

939
01:00:53,641 --> 01:00:58,240
This month marks the ends of all
contact between you and me for a while.

940
01:00:58,241 --> 01:01:00,760
Films require manpower and money.

941
01:01:00,761 --> 01:01:03,441
Even if money is not
possible, I would be extremely

942
01:01:03,442 --> 01:01:07,440
grateful if you could
co-operate as actors and staff.

943
01:01:07,441 --> 01:01:09,840
Of course, the fee will be small.

944
01:01:09,841 --> 01:01:12,320
In other words, you won't get paid.

945
01:01:12,321 --> 01:01:15,080
I'm paying out of my
own goddamn pocket here.

946
01:01:15,081 --> 01:01:18,040
And my only regular income is gone.

947
01:01:18,041 --> 01:01:20,800
But even so, since we
met through a magazine

948
01:01:20,801 --> 01:01:23,049
that pursues realism,
don't you think you might

949
01:01:23,050 --> 01:01:25,720
want to actually have
some kind of involvement?

950
01:01:25,721 --> 01:01:29,040
If you do, please contact
the editorial department.

951
01:01:29,041 --> 01:01:30,000
But wait a minute.

952
01:01:30,001 --> 01:01:35,280
It's at a publication, the editorial
department itself may no longer exist.

953
01:01:35,281 --> 01:01:36,720
That would be a problem.

954
01:01:36,721 --> 01:01:38,880
If you're interested, please email me.

955
01:01:38,881 --> 01:01:40,080
I'll be waiting.

956
01:01:40,081 --> 01:01:43,720
Let's go a movie Molotov cocktail together.

957
01:01:43,721 --> 01:01:49,760
And this is just a bunch of links to
other projects unrelated to a Pete TV show.

958
01:01:49,761 --> 01:01:51,200
All right, now BBS.

959
01:01:53,524 --> 01:01:54,600
The fuck?

960
01:01:54,601 --> 01:01:58,920
Okay, so this was a form launched
back in the day to support Pete TV show.

961
01:01:58,921 --> 01:02:02,080
But everything changed when
the two-mer nation attacked.

962
01:02:02,081 --> 01:02:05,167
And by 2008, it had
evolved into a dumping

963
01:02:05,168 --> 01:02:08,200
ground for porn and
a few other things, too.

964
01:02:08,201 --> 01:02:11,160
Because it's the
internet, just a sea of links

965
01:02:11,161 --> 01:02:14,680
that range from grandma
porn to weezer songs.

966
01:02:14,681 --> 01:02:17,680
To be fair, those do go
together like cookies and milk.

967
01:02:17,681 --> 01:02:20,720
There could be some
borderline illegal stuff in here.

968
01:02:20,721 --> 01:02:22,400
I can't be held viable.

969
01:02:22,401 --> 01:02:24,680
Ricardo's nude, Paul White.

970
01:02:24,681 --> 01:02:28,840
I mean, there's some wholesome stuff
here, too, like Valentine's Day poetry.

971
01:02:28,841 --> 01:02:31,640
Wait, pre-Valentine's Day pig pictures?

972
01:02:31,641 --> 01:02:33,360
Let me get a piece of this.

973
01:02:33,410 --> 01:02:34,760
Oh, you cut.

974
01:02:34,761 --> 01:02:36,120
I'll leave a message.

975
01:02:36,121 --> 01:02:39,360
I'm bringing this place
back to its original purpose.

976
01:02:39,361 --> 01:02:41,940
(upbeat music)

977
01:02:51,910 --> 01:02:53,560
It's their in spirit.

978
01:02:53,561 --> 01:02:57,200
With all that aside, we just
got some photos down here.

979
01:02:57,201 --> 01:02:59,880
Just a dope little peek behind the curtain.

980
01:02:59,881 --> 01:03:02,000
I fuck with the vibes, heavy.

981
01:03:02,001 --> 01:03:05,000
When you're circle
small, but you're all crazy.

982
01:03:05,001 --> 01:03:07,280
I don't even know
what's going on in this pic.

983
01:03:07,330 --> 01:03:09,600
Is that a GameCube or am I trippin'?

984
01:03:09,601 --> 01:03:14,280
Regardless, that's about it for the
Pete TV show support group site.

985
01:03:14,281 --> 01:03:17,200
Oh, and remember that
kitty cat from earlier?

986
01:03:17,201 --> 01:03:21,400
Well, I promised I would reveal
its fate later and now is later.

987
01:03:21,401 --> 01:03:23,360
I have the receipts.

988
01:03:23,361 --> 01:03:28,440
The answer lies within this interview
I found with Suchia and Alma Mia.

989
01:03:28,441 --> 01:03:32,080
In it, Alma Mia says that
there was a lot of questions

990
01:03:32,081 --> 01:03:35,840
about what happened to the
cat, which is abused in the film.

991
01:03:35,841 --> 01:03:40,075
It belongs to one of the
staff members and is doing

992
01:03:40,076 --> 01:03:44,480
fine, taboo cat lovers, and
now the director's statement.

993
01:03:44,530 --> 01:03:47,240
Consider this Suchia's testimony.

994
01:03:47,241 --> 01:03:51,240
Watch in the live broadcast
of 9/11 on television.

995
01:03:51,241 --> 01:03:55,400
Many people confessed
that it looked just like a film.

996
01:03:55,401 --> 01:03:59,760
In fact, that April 2003, American troops

997
01:03:59,810 --> 01:04:03,720
pulled the plug on Iraq's
National Television Station,

998
01:04:03,721 --> 01:04:08,640
attempting to bring an end to the
unashamed media war that was being waged.

999
01:04:08,641 --> 01:04:11,840
The world was flooded with media coverage.

1000
01:04:11,841 --> 01:04:15,000
The media directs
reality, multi-plexing it.

1001
01:04:15,001 --> 01:04:19,576
It weakens our bodily self-images
and smudges our perceptions

1002
01:04:19,577 --> 01:04:23,280
of distance between the
outside world and ourselves.

1003
01:04:23,281 --> 01:04:26,640
We have been robbed of our own reality.

1004
01:04:26,641 --> 01:04:31,520
So at times, we cut our bits to
remind ourselves that world lie.

1005
01:04:31,521 --> 01:04:36,560
Or sometimes we can find ourselves to rooms
when we can't face the world any longer.

1006
01:04:36,561 --> 01:04:41,600
Or sometimes research for mates who
will commit suicide with us on the internet

1007
01:04:41,601 --> 01:04:44,840
to give us a perspective
of our own existence.

1008
01:04:44,841 --> 01:04:46,440
But it can't be help.

1009
01:04:46,441 --> 01:04:49,600
After all, we live in a
society that pays homage

1010
01:04:49,650 --> 01:04:53,240
to the shallow media
god, where the war in Iraq

1011
01:04:53,241 --> 01:04:56,715
the appearance of a seal in
the Tama River and the sudden

1012
01:04:56,716 --> 01:05:01,240
marriage of a popular actor
attract the same attention.

1013
01:05:01,241 --> 01:05:04,560
The world is like watching
the rerun of our burlesque,

1014
01:05:04,561 --> 01:05:08,200
acted out on a paper mache
stage through the TV screen.

1015
01:05:08,201 --> 01:05:10,480
Are you a spectator of the rerun?

1016
01:05:10,481 --> 01:05:12,280
Are you a member of the cast?

1017
01:05:12,281 --> 01:05:14,840
In fact, are you really here at all?

1018
01:05:14,841 --> 01:05:17,520
Sometimes it's difficult to tell.

1019
01:05:17,521 --> 01:05:20,800
The events of September 11th, 2001,

1020
01:05:20,801 --> 01:05:24,240
briefly created a fissure
in this paper mache world.

1021
01:05:24,241 --> 01:05:27,760
People who confessed to
the event being just like a film

1022
01:05:27,761 --> 01:05:31,800
enjoyed the experience of the
ultimate documentary intensely.

1023
01:05:31,801 --> 01:05:34,640
Their eyes lit up at
images of mass killings

1024
01:05:34,641 --> 01:05:38,160
during the ensuing
Afghanistan and direct wars.

1025
01:05:38,161 --> 01:05:39,920
It was a bleak situation.

1026
01:05:39,921 --> 01:05:43,960
The fissure in this paper mache
world was just the new stage set.

1027
01:05:43,961 --> 01:05:49,440
War became another form of entertainment,
vying for airtime with reality shows,

1028
01:05:49,441 --> 01:05:53,560
such as tonight's live broadcast
of a married couple's argument.

1029
01:05:53,561 --> 01:05:55,520
The meshed eye of the internet too

1030
01:05:55,770 --> 01:05:59,240
has brought our private lives
and thoughts out into the open.

1031
01:05:59,241 --> 01:06:03,840
The borders between inner worlds
and outer worlds have blurred.

1032
01:06:03,841 --> 01:06:07,440
There are no absolute strangers anymore.

1033
01:06:07,441 --> 01:06:10,240
Our real battlefield is the
one upon which we fight

1034
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:13,560
to survive a hopeless battle
against the information

1035
01:06:13,561 --> 01:06:18,720
capitalist society where we
can't win, lose, or go back.

1036
01:06:18,721 --> 01:06:21,680
The world is akin to a cheap peep show.

1037
01:06:21,681 --> 01:06:25,680
We are the warriors, and at
the same time we are the models.

1038
01:06:25,681 --> 01:06:29,400
I wanted this film to depict
our trials and tribulations

1039
01:06:29,401 --> 01:06:32,400
as we create new
fissures in that peep show,

1040
01:06:32,401 --> 01:06:35,470
leaving the peep show
behind to encounter other

1041
01:06:35,471 --> 01:06:40,120
people, attempting to
reclaim our own reality.

1042
01:06:40,121 --> 01:06:42,480
I must just about to upload this vid

1043
01:06:42,481 --> 01:06:46,000
when I found an exclusive
Japanese version of the film's

1044
01:06:46,001 --> 01:06:50,720
meta site that contains three new
pieces of the puzzle or whatever.

1045
01:06:50,721 --> 01:06:53,560
I'll just pick out some
highlights and leave it at that,

1046
01:06:53,561 --> 01:06:56,640
because at this point I
fear the rabbit hole of URLs

1047
01:06:56,641 --> 01:07:00,800
is infinite, and if I go any
deeper I may never escape.

1048
01:07:00,801 --> 01:07:03,360
If you want to continue
the journey without me

1049
01:07:03,510 --> 01:07:07,840
and take a closer look, I'll leave
links to all of this in the description.

1050
01:07:07,841 --> 01:07:12,080
There's a diary written by
Succia that covers his experience

1051
01:07:12,130 --> 01:07:15,720
traveling to film festivals
all across the world,

1052
01:07:15,721 --> 01:07:18,480
where a peep peep peep
show was being screened

1053
01:07:18,481 --> 01:07:21,520
and meet in fans of
his all across the world,

1054
01:07:21,521 --> 01:07:23,920
both through the
internet and in person.

1055
01:07:23,921 --> 01:07:25,800
There were some haters too though,

1056
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:28,280
especially at the New York Screening.

1057
01:07:28,281 --> 01:07:30,880
And then there's also just
an interview with Succia.

1058
01:07:30,930 --> 01:07:32,800
The answer right here is interesting.

1059
01:07:32,850 --> 01:07:36,280
Sex and death give us
a quick sense of reality.

1060
01:07:36,281 --> 01:07:39,960
For this reason, people who
are starved for a sense of reality

1061
01:07:39,961 --> 01:07:46,640
often become addicted to sex or fantasize
about death and indulge in that world.

1062
01:07:46,641 --> 01:07:52,480
However, this act ends up pushing both
sex and death into the world of fiction.

1063
01:07:52,481 --> 01:07:54,400
Hasay Gawa knows this.

1064
01:07:54,401 --> 01:07:57,911
So Hasay Gawa just looks
at sex and death from

1065
01:07:57,912 --> 01:08:00,800
afar, as if they were
someone else's business.

1066
01:08:00,850 --> 01:08:06,600
Sex and death, which should be
stimulating, have no effect on Hasay Gawa.

1067
01:08:06,601 --> 01:08:08,840
However, I think there's hope for him,

1068
01:08:08,841 --> 01:08:15,800
because he's aware that images of sex and
death cannot restore a sense of reality.

1069
01:08:15,801 --> 01:08:18,279
And finally, there's a
bullet him board system

1070
01:08:18,330 --> 01:08:22,040
from 2005, I believe, that
instead of being overrun

1071
01:08:22,041 --> 01:08:27,279
by porn contains actual discussion
amongst not only fans of the film,

1072
01:08:27,281 --> 01:08:30,600
but actors that appeared
in it and also Succia.

1073
01:08:30,601 --> 01:08:35,319
Here's an answer as to whether
Nagomi kept up the Gothic Lolita thing.

1074
01:08:35,321 --> 01:08:37,439
She says she hasn't been wearing it lately,

1075
01:08:37,440 --> 01:08:40,640
but her spirit will
always be Gothic Lolita.

1076
01:08:40,641 --> 01:08:42,040
And that's what counts.

1077
01:08:42,041 --> 01:08:45,680
There's a whole bunch of fans,
testimonies, but I'll just read this one.

1078
01:08:45,681 --> 01:08:49,200
This is my honest
opinion, written by Maripe,

1079
01:08:49,201 --> 01:08:54,359
the way of life of a real human
is very ugly, dirty, and scary.

1080
01:08:54,410 --> 01:08:57,760
So I don't need to become
a human in my lifetime.

1081
01:08:57,761 --> 01:09:00,200
I'm fine with being grotesque.

1082
01:09:00,201 --> 01:09:04,600
I feel like that will bring me
closer to my ideal, little by little.

1083
01:09:04,601 --> 01:09:07,560
It's many times more
frightening to see a cat

1084
01:09:07,561 --> 01:09:10,920
being suffocated to death
right before your eyes.

1085
01:09:10,921 --> 01:09:14,359
Then watching a plane crash
into the World Trade Center

1086
01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:17,160
and thousands of people
dying on the other side

1087
01:09:17,435 --> 01:09:18,800
of the TV screen.

1088
01:09:18,801 --> 01:09:21,560
There are many violent crimes in the world.

1089
01:09:21,561 --> 01:09:23,479
There are many crazy people.

1090
01:09:23,480 --> 01:09:25,359
Why do people go crazy?

1091
01:09:25,361 --> 01:09:31,680
Maybe children, young people, adults,
and the elderly are all hungry for reality.

1092
01:09:31,681 --> 01:09:34,640
This movie portrays such reality.

1093
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:42,880
We've gone through the movie, and
we've gone through the related media.

1094
01:09:42,881 --> 01:09:44,960
Reading time is over.

1095
01:09:44,961 --> 01:09:46,640
Now we discuss.

1096
01:09:46,740 --> 01:09:49,319
Except one of us is gagged and found.

1097
01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:52,080
Keep TV show captures certain feelings

1098
01:09:52,081 --> 01:09:56,200
that I think resonate even
harder now, 20 years later,

1099
01:09:56,201 --> 01:09:59,626
such as the agonizing muted
monotony of day-to-day

1100
01:09:59,627 --> 01:10:02,480
light, the intoxicating
pleasure of giving in

1101
01:10:02,481 --> 01:10:07,880
to deep-seated perversions on the
worldwide web, shrouded in anonymity.

1102
01:10:07,881 --> 01:10:13,880
Both the paranoia and resignation induced
by a near-constant state of surveillance.

1103
01:10:13,881 --> 01:10:17,360
That particular blend
of loneliness and comfort

1104
01:10:17,361 --> 01:10:20,840
the home blue hue of a
computer screen provides.

1105
01:10:20,841 --> 01:10:23,718
This, actually-- During
night says that is your

1106
01:10:23,719 --> 01:10:27,080
social life, and the
beauty in destruction.

1107
01:10:27,081 --> 01:10:29,320
With the only opportunity you have left

1108
01:10:29,321 --> 01:10:32,840
to bond with others being
through mutual appreciation

1109
01:10:32,841 --> 01:10:37,400
for this beauty, people are
torn between apathy and angst.

1110
01:10:37,401 --> 01:10:40,960
You're aning to break
free, though lacking in dry.

1111
01:10:40,961 --> 01:10:45,600
Sometimes flirting with anarchy,
but there's never truly a breakthrough.

1112
01:10:45,601 --> 01:10:49,840
Today's spent in tedium,
tomorrow a bathroom doors destroy.

1113
01:10:49,841 --> 01:10:52,280
The next day, the tedium continues.

1114
01:10:52,281 --> 01:10:56,240
Is it really worth living for
occasional flashes in the pan?

1115
01:10:56,241 --> 01:10:59,689
But we're too worn down
by all the rest to achieve

1116
01:10:59,739 --> 01:11:02,960
anymore if there even
is any more to achieve.

1117
01:11:02,961 --> 01:11:08,600
You know, this film is the terminally
online anti-social nihilists' black Panther.

1118
01:11:08,601 --> 01:11:12,640
What really works in its
favor is how authentic it feels.

1119
01:11:12,641 --> 01:11:17,880
Like it's made four freaks, five
freaks, which it is, as we've learned.

1120
01:11:17,881 --> 01:11:21,000
And it's the kind of story
that can only be born

1121
01:11:21,001 --> 01:11:24,800
out of low-budget
home-grewed type circumstances.

1122
01:11:24,801 --> 01:11:26,960
It just wouldn't be the
same with the backing

1123
01:11:26,961 --> 01:11:30,232
of a Hollywood film studio,
professional high-grade

1124
01:11:30,233 --> 01:11:33,760
canvas, and Timothy
Chalamet playing Hasay Galois.

1125
01:11:33,761 --> 01:11:36,600
Those to show how
limitations can, in some cases,

1126
01:11:36,601 --> 01:11:39,400
embolden artistry
instead of inhibiting it.

1127
01:11:39,401 --> 01:11:42,360
No big studios or stars here, bitch.

1128
01:11:42,361 --> 01:11:45,000
Just a group of degenerates, a dream,

1129
01:11:45,001 --> 01:11:48,280
and a movie held together
by duct tape and bubblegum.

1130
01:11:48,281 --> 01:11:51,680
The story itself kind
of mirrors this, in a way.

1131
01:11:51,681 --> 01:11:54,005
A bunch of youth at
the bottom of the totem

1132
01:11:54,006 --> 01:11:57,160
pole often disregarded
as social problems.

1133
01:11:57,161 --> 01:12:00,640
Like a gothic Lolita
adorned in self-harm scars,

1134
01:12:00,641 --> 01:12:04,040
and a warrior studded out
in ripped jeans and piercings,

1135
01:12:04,041 --> 01:12:08,233
were able to carve out a
sense of community, a beacon of

1136
01:12:08,234 --> 01:12:13,480
warmth, even if twisted, amidst
such a cold and hostile world.

1137
01:12:13,481 --> 01:12:16,200
Sure, it wouldn't save
them, but it was something.

1138
01:12:16,201 --> 01:12:18,280
They even made money off it.

1139
01:12:18,281 --> 01:12:20,560
Ronald Reagan would be proud.

1140
01:12:20,561 --> 01:12:22,920
I'll leave the DVD at his great stone.

1141
01:12:22,921 --> 01:12:26,760
In conclusion, keep TV show is a banger.

1142
01:12:26,761 --> 01:12:29,360
But also an all-too relatable one.

1143
01:12:29,361 --> 01:12:32,360
These days it's like the
world is at stage four

1144
01:12:32,510 --> 01:12:36,480
of whatever cancer was just
getting started in the film.

1145
01:12:36,481 --> 01:12:38,200
What's the cure?

1146
01:12:38,201 --> 01:12:39,000
I don't know.

1147
01:12:39,001 --> 01:12:40,791
You're probably not
gonna find the answer

1148
01:12:40,841 --> 01:12:44,040
in a movie, let alone a
dumbass YouTube vid.

1149
01:12:44,041 --> 01:12:46,080
But maybe if we all just come together,

1150
01:12:46,130 --> 01:12:50,560
hold hands and sing
kumbaya, that's a good start.

1151
01:12:50,610 --> 01:12:52,440
And also fuck you.

1152
01:12:52,441 --> 01:12:55,720
Humanities made its
bed and it can lay in it.

1153
01:12:55,721 --> 01:12:59,840
As for me, I'll just sit
back and enjoy the show.

1154
01:12:59,841 --> 01:13:01,440
All right, 9/11.

1155
01:13:01,441 --> 01:13:05,440
Let's cap things off with what
Mo and Hasse Galois have planned.

1156
01:13:05,441 --> 01:13:08,020
(upbeat music)

1157
01:13:08,021 --> 01:13:10,040
(crashing)

1158
01:13:10,041 --> 01:13:12,520
(speaking in foreign language)

1159
01:13:12,521 --> 01:13:15,680
(speaking in foreign language)

1160
01:13:15,681 --> 01:13:18,260
(upbeat music)

1161
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:28,300
(upbeat music)

1162
01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:59,220
(speaking in foreign language)

1163
01:14:28,170 --> 01:14:29,370
(speaking in foreign language)

1164
01:14:55,720 --> 01:14:58,300
