    There is something not discussed in this video which I would love to share my theory on: Asami's last words - why does she repeat a bunch of lines originally used to manipulate Aoyama into falling in love with her?
    Heres a refresher on the lines:
    - “I thought I’d never see you again. I’m so happy I can’t stop smiling”
    - “I’ve been on my own my whole life, I’ve never had anyone to talk to”
    - “I’ve never met anyone like you, so warm and comforting”
    - “You understand and accept me, no one ever did”
    And here’s my theory:
    For Asami, the Audition didn’t end at the casting call. That’s simply where it began. Instead, the whole film - the developing relationship between Aoyama and Asami - was an “audition”. One which she passes with flying colours, as once Aoyama has successfully fallen in love with her, that’s when Asami metaphorically “lands her role” of playing the part of Aoyama’s torturer.
    As mentioned in this video analysis, Asami was an outcast who failed to assimilate into society. However, she was taught (or more accurately was forced) from a young age to perform through her Ballet. This would support the notion that although she didn’t fully understand society or the people within it, she did understand how to put on an act. And thus metaphorically “dance” to the tune of what others in society wanted her to be. In this case - Aoyama’s desired bride.
    So to wrap up my theory on why she repeats these specific lines at the end - it’s to reveal to Aoyama and the viewer just how brilliant of a performer she is. In fact, she’s so damn brilliant in her “role” that she can literally remember the exact lines word for word, which were crucial in manipulating Aoyama to fall in love with her.
    In other words - these lines are her “script”. And as soon as she loses control of the situation (after being pushed down the stairs). She defaults back into “audition” mode. Simply reading lines from her script again. Like a child repeating something they know, in an attempt to achieve a desired outcome.
    And as a BONUS BIT - It’s also entirely possible the reason she knows this “script” so well, is because it’s not the first time she’s used it. They’re likely the exact same tried and tested words she used in order to successfully lure in the music agent (who she now keeps in the bag). And heck, they could likely be the same words she’s used on countless previous victims also.

      @bartholen Рік тому +36

      I don't think her reciting the words was literal. Considering we see her exclusively from Aoyama's point of view in that moment, I personally think it's a drug-induced hallucination representing his grief and despair. That even after the monstrous things she did to him, Aoyama truly believed he'd found something special, and deep down still wanted Asami to be what she'd presented herself as, not as how she truly was.

    I think the thing I love most about this story is how it plays with the roles gender and power play in relationships. In the first half of the film, ayoama is trying to prove himself to Asami by showing off his money and power so he can “earn” sleeping with and marrying her. This is a very common mindset for men when dating, especially older men seeking out younger girls. Asami is similarly trying to prove herself to be what he wants, to earn his love and thus her spot as his torturer and potential killer. She is the extreme mirror of the kind of predation ayoama and many men perpetuate onto the women they date, feeling like they can ever have a right to another individuals body. Ayoama feels like he’s earned his right to do with asami and her body as he pleases bc he’s spent time and resources on her and treated her like a human. What he does not know is asami feels similarly entitled to his body, albeit in a more gruesome way, towards the end.

    Even if Asami was a victim of sexual torture by her depraved family, it's no point in taking her wrath out on innocent people. There's a quote and motto in my favorite book series that sums up the consequences of wrongdoing.
    "Once you take that first step, there's no turning back."

      Yes theoretically she could just hook up with a peodophile. But that in Ester’s eyes would not be a normal relationship. She desires to be seen by men as a woman and not a child.
      But even then, that is only half the problem solved. She is still incapable of bearing a child due to the injuries she sustained while being abused by her father.

      Pay attention to the framing and editing in such moments. Movies have a million ways to make things seem like a continuous sequence taking place at once. I don't know about child actor protection laws in Japan, but assuming they did their job protecting the child in Audition, that scene was probably shot out of sequence with the actors not necessarily even present at the same time. I recently saw Evil Dead Rise, and if the actress playing the little girl had actually been exposed to all the horrific stuff in the film, even if it's all fake, she'd probably be in therapy for years.

      In my country abusers get charged for the original abuse. If their victim continues the cycle of abuse the victim turned abuser will be charged for the crimes they commit. You are removing personal responsibility if you don't hold the actual abuser accountable. Also, most abuse is learned from past generation. So you would arrest a senior parent for abuse commited by an adult child, because the senior parent had abused that now adult child 30 years ago? That doesn't sound right to me. We can all empathize with people that were abused but it does not excuse them from any abuse they inflict on others. Everyone should be held accountable for their own actions. being abused does not give you the right to abuse others and blame your actions on your past abuser.

There’s also no real laws against it that I know of, only against physical abuse.

    Glad to see you doing this.
    However, I am kinda disappointed that we didn't really explore the Jacob's Ladder/Recursive Hell of it all. Or what the stories mean depending on how you interpret whether it was all a dream or not.
    I know that's not really the purview of this channel, so it's more because I finally watched this a few weeks ago and was thoroughly surprised how straightforward it seemed to be.
    Honestly, I find it all being a dream more satisfying, for once, given the character portraits we're given throughout. Every bit we see in the nightmare sequences are built off comments his friend made, not from any indicator from Asami.
    The story that comes out if she is a serial killer is that she thinks he's a serial predator, picking up girls and discarding them, thus he has to be punished. There are obviously more layers there, but that's what the story breaks down to. As for his flashing back to the motel room, it's an escape from the reality of his son dying. One that he cannot keep up. However, when he's conscious again, his son prevails and she repeats what she said during his callback.
    However, if we look at it as a dream, we have a widower who is uncomfortable with the deception but seems to have found the perfect girl in his mind. His friend keeps trying to talk him down, bringing up her unreliability and the mysterious disappearance of her benefactor. They end up in a hotel room, where she initiates sex, and he finds the branding.
    Right after that is when the dream trips over, including warped architecture at the cafe, tongues randomly showing up, over the top and creepy reactions, disturbing "truths" about Asami, and reinterpretations of scenes we've already seen. Hell, this initiates with a "yadda yadda yadda" over sex right into a Recursive Hell staple: him jumping into bed, falling out of bed, and realizing Asami is gone.
    The dance studio is clearly decrepit but somehow there's a crippled man with no means that is surviving. Not only that but he sexually assaulted child Asami. He also has a dreamlike prosthetic, more horror than anything that would be practically built.
    Anyway, dead wife and shapeshifting Asami aside, he ends up stuck in a dream inside a dream where he's paralyzed and tortured. It's very sleep paralysis or the Sleeping Hag for him to be stuck in a dream he can't get out of.
    He finally starts awake right before the worst thing that could happen: his son dying. There, he's back in the motel, with all his limbs, clearly unsettled but at least she's there and, for our purposes, they're back in the room before things stopped making sense.
    Here, she states how lucky she is. Her naivete is consistent with how we've seen her beforehand, and she seems totally in love. But how do you continue a relationship now that you've endured that dream?
    As soon as he closes his eyes to sleep again, he's sucked back into the nightmare right where he left off. Not moments later, not her mutilating the sons body . . . It doesn't function as a temporary repreive; he's right back in it.
    Even when she dies, she's reciting the callback conversation.
    So, if it is all a dream, then we have Aoyami infatuated with a so-called dream girl, only for him to have sex with her, fall asleep, and get freaked out by the nightmares that directly feed on his insecurities about her past, feelings of betrayal against his ex wife, and those dreams all wrapped up in post-coital regret. He's swooned a girl that he knows nothing about and now he's trapped. This version seems smitten with him, and you can tell he's absolutely terrified to make a move.
    I do like the idea presented that he's getting these details while paralyzed, so that's why they become so twisted and dreamlike, but it's a much less interesting story, to me, if she simply a serial killer.
    Would love to do a crossover video with you sometime, but regardless, I'm looking forward to the next one. 😅😅😅

    There’s a point during Aoyama’s torture when he supposedly wakes up next to Asami when they first slept together before drifting off and returning back to his torture.
    An interpretation I have of the film is that everything from when Asami and Aoyama first sleep together is ALL a dream, and that Asami’s villainous persona, and Aoyama’s almost dreamlike trek to discover who she really was, is a manifestation of Aoyama’s guilt and self-punishment for A: Having an affair with his secretary prior to his wife’s death (as it’s heavily implied) and B: Pretty much manipulating and grooming a pretty young ex-ballerina with a BS audition for the sole purpose of sleeping with her and then discovering through dates about her traumatic childhood and loneliness.
    It would explain also why the second half of the film has this surreal, almost dreamlike quality through its camera angles, lighting and introduction to new characters, and the somewhat ambiguous final words of Asami as she lies with a broken neck on the stairs, asking if he would like to see her again for another date.
    So you could watch it as a Fatal Attraction-esque psychological horror about a man who gets involved with an obsessed crazed psychopath OR a study through a man’s subconscious as he’s punishing himself for his history of infidelity. I tend to choose the latter.

When I read the novel that this film is based on, I saw that Asami was much more sadistic than in the film version. In the novel, Asami tortures and eventually kills Aoyama and Shige's pet beagle, "Gangsta" by cutting off his hind legs with a wire saw and letting him bleed to death as a way of punishing Aoyama for lying to her at the audition. The "Audition" film was a truly disturbing and shocking film that should've found its way to the Oscar Awards ceremony.

    Great vid! I’d like to see Angel Eyes from The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly. Curious as to what your take on him could be.

    I would LOVE to see one of these about Tom Ripley from the extremely underrated "The Talented Mr. Ripley"

    Here's two ideas for an Analyze Evil video.
    Analyzing Kefka Palazzo from Final Fantasy VI (if you do video game characters,).
    Analyzing Rameses from the Prince of Egypt.

    Todd from Breaking Bad would be very cool perspective nobody will see coming. Audition was a good cuve ball to my day. Thanks!😁

      Todd has the added characteristic of being in the spectrum

    I don’t know if he would be considered good or bad but it would be cool to see you talk about Lestat de Lioncourt from Interview With the Vampire

    Warden Norton from shawshank redemption would be cool to see, the lengths that he goes to keep Andy under his thumb is just pure evil.

    Last scene didn't really bother me. But even this 'numbed to it all' horror lover - that phone scene where her head got lower and lower and you realize oh she's cray, oh sh*t she's cray cray, OMG how cray is she and then the bag moves with that sound - scared me half to death!!!
