Is the guinea pig experiment real?

The "Guinea Pig" series of underground films is a collection of short films shot between 1985 and 1990 by two Japanese producers, Satoru Ogura and Hideshi Hino. There are six films in this series, namely "Devil's Experiment" (1985), "Flower Of Flesh And Blood" (1985), "He Never Dies" (1986), "Mermaid In A Manhole", "Androids Of The Notre Dame" (1988), "Devil Women Doctor" (1990), the length of the films ranges from 43 minutes to 65 minutes. Since its release, this series of films has caused an uproar in Japan, the European and American markets, and has even been banned from public release in all countries. It can only be sold in the audio-visual market in the form of Home Video or DVD, so it has become an "underground film." reputation. In fact, it is very different from the generally independent, experimental and low-profit underground films, because since this series of films were put on the market, its sales in Japan have even exceeded those introduced in the same period. Hollywood blockbusters. For example, within two months of their release in Japan, "Flower of Flesh" and "Cellar Mermaid" became one of the TOP TEN sales of audio-visual chain stores. The performance of "Flower of Flesh" even exceeded that of Spielberg, who was introduced in the same period. The science fiction romantic masterpiece "E.T." At the same time, in the Western European and North American markets, since the series was introduced in the early 1990s, it has also been all-powerful in the audio and video market, and because of its high degree of realism, the FBI in the United States was involved. Of course, the result of the investigation was still "fake". Although most consumers of different skin colors hate and hate the ultimate "Snuff Pic." or "Gore-hound Films", the strange thing is that they hate it so much that they buy it so much that they can create such a phenomenon among movie fans. With large-scale abnormal consumer psychology, the "Guinea Pig" series of underground films can be said to have created a myth. For the discussion of this series of films, we will start with the title "Guinea Pig", which seems to be very different from the content of the film. The International Chinese version of Encyclopedia Britannica explains the guinea pig as: "A domesticated rodent of the family Guinea Pig, native to South America. It was domesticated before the Inca era and was introduced to Europe soon after the discovery of America. And quickly became a popular ornamental animal and valuable experimental animal." It can be seen that guinea pigs are just domesticated animals for people to enjoy and conduct experiments. However, what is strange is that although the "Guinea Pig" series of films uses "experiment" as the theme, there is not a real guinea pig in the film. We see The "guinea pig" is a living, bloody human body.

Devil's Experiment Devil's Experiment: It tells the story of three masked young men who want to examine "the human spirit" "Without the limit of pain that the body can bear", he committed various atrocities against a woman, including punching, kicking, needle pricking, noise disturbance, dirt attacks and the most cruel eye-gouging. Afterwards, the woman who was tortured and died tragically was thrown into the wilderness. 2. Flowers Of Flesh And Blood: This is a story about kidnapping a woman and brutally torturing her. A perverted man wearing an ancient Japanese samurai uniform, painted with makeup and powder, anesthetized a woman and dismembered her as if she were creating a piece of art. After he was done, he was still overjoyed and actually revealed all the "arts" he had collected to the camera: a A large number of dead heads and limbs that had long since rotted and were covered with plants and parasites. 3. He Never Dies: An ordinary clerk who was unsuccessful in his career used various tools to self-mutilate in search of excitement when he was extremely bored. As a result, after discovering that he was actually "immortal", She was so happy that she immediately called her colleagues and performed a disgusting caesarean section in front of them. Although the film ends with a joke-like scene, it still cannot dilute its strong bloody atmosphere. 4. Android Of Notre Dame: By telling the story of a dwarf scientist who used organs obtained from experiments on living people to save his terminally ill sister, but was rejected by his sister, it makes a "cruel" look at the contradiction between science and human nature. discussion. 5. Mermaid In A Manhole: The inspiration for this film seems to come from Andersen's fairy tale "The Daughter of the Sea", but the Japanese have "alienated" this beautiful fairy tale horribly. In the film, an autistic and middle-aged painter who lost his wife went to the holy place in his heart - a dirty sewer in order to find some creative inspiration. As a result, he unexpectedly discovered the "mermaid" in his childhood fantasy. The mermaid was stranded and immersed in industrial wastewater for a long time, and her body began to rot.

Out of pity, the painter moved the mermaid into a large bathtub at home and took good care of her. However, the mermaid was seriously ill and her body was getting worse day by day. The disappointed artist had no choice but to record her decay and death in paintings according to the mermaid's wishes. The whole process. In the end, the mermaid died of extreme decomposition, and the painter suffered a mental breakdown and dismembered the mermaid himself. Afterwards, he was arrested by the police who refused to believe this "adult fairy tale" and charged with murdering his wife. The reason why the film has a certain ideological quality is that the director deliberately compared and switched a colorful painting about a "mermaid" full of fairy tale-like artistic conception from the painter's childhood with an oil painting recording the decay of a mermaid, in order to emphasize the impact of industrial civilization on the ecological environment and people. The alienation and corruption of the pure soul, the tragic death of the mermaid symbolizes the death of the pure beauty of human beings in industrial society. 6. Devil Woman Doctor: Due to the bad impact the "Guinea Pig" series of movies had on Japanese society after their best-selling, especially its inducing effect on teenagers, the public began to accuse it of "excessive expression" of cruelty. Under such pressure, the film had to change to a "moderate route" and combine a series of bloody but humorous novels into chapters, completing the final chapter of the "Guinea Pig" series. Important note: It is very realistic, very scary, and very disgusting. I believe that after watching it, you will never think that other movies are bloody or scary again.
